There is something bizarre about “high-IQ” as an identity core like with Mensa. Like a trade union of capitalists or a commune of libertarians. Or that South Park joke about the anti-semitic sect of Judaism. Shouldn’t you be winning Nobels, rather than performing identity?
That’s why it’s disingenuous to treat the burden of wealth the same as the burden of poverty. Or the burden of high IQ the same as the burden of say a crippling disease. Or the burden of so-called ‘reverse racism’ the same as that of racism.

I’m eligible for many privilege-based patterns of association, but I neither join privilege based associations, nor give up my privileges where it is possible to. I think it wisest to be suspicious of our rationalizations of net-privileges as ‘burdens’

That recent trend is the reason IQ is in the news again. The whole “SJWs are suppressing the truth about IQ differences between races and genders and oppressing smart people” narrative. Only ever comes up when people are trying to enter a strength into an oppression Olympics.
