"intelligence" is a scam invented to sell more racism

(no context, wording just came to mind)

@packbat especially with the way it tends to be “measured” and reported on yeah. lots of comparisons to be made with eugenics

@charlotte @packbat Less comparisons and more direct overlap.

@flesh @packbat i have heard about factoids like “iq is going down” and i’m like “that’s not how iq works” and it sounds like just a pseudoscientific restatement of “society is degenerating”

@flesh @charlotte yeah, it took about six seconds for IQ to go from "identify students who need extra tutoring" to "provide 'objective' justification for forcibly sterilizing nonwhite people"
