Many high-IQ people collude (subconsciously) to make society as confusing & complicated as possible to lower-IQ people. It's taboo to discuss this 'cognitive oppression', because discussing IQ differences is taboo. Interesting how convenient that is for the cognitive elitehttps://twitter.com/TaniaArline/status/1033776636150337537 …
I believe a reason for increasing inequality is that increasing complexity is constantly raising the cognitive bar, hence lowering performance of low-skilled while providing even more leverage for high-skilled. Knowledge decays faster, so only discoverers are up to date.

thanks. I have a ~3 page essay on this in progress, with references and charts, so if people are super interested, I can prioritize finishing it. Teaser: inequality in body weight has been increasing for last century (ie gap between 10% lightest vs. 10% heaviest is widening)
That's a very comforting explanation for the cognitively adept. The history of inequality going back to to the hydraulic era of pharoahs is full of aggressive mechanisms for increasing inequality.
I don't find it comforting at all. Maybe you like the idea of living in an environment where an increasing number of people don't have easy access to a solid basic strategy set. I find it horrifying.
Could Dr. Miller have it backwards? Could cognitive oppression be the cause of IQ differences being taboo rather than the other way around??
Or more precisely, could he have *stated* it backwards?
Good premise. This inequality though may be inevitable. The flip side is the circle of knowledge keeps expanding, individuals have so many more domains to choose from to flourish. World may have gotten more complicated, but Beckham woulda been nobody in 1846.
