@bontchev the insistence on the validity of IQ is a less obvious one. I get why they want that, I’m perhaps just surprised that they remembered to include it.

@aimaz @bontchev Jordan Peterson is quite a popular character with that crowd. And that means lots of people there will have strong opinions about IQ being valid and objective.

@viraptor @aimaz @bontchev also IQ is an entirely racist pseudoscience, and those who rely on it to try to assert that white people are more intelligent than other ethnic groups tend to hate having that fact pointed out to them.

@OddDev @viraptor @aimaz @bontchev no problem, I literally only learned this myself in the past year. It's deeply disturbing to realise how dubious and unreliable it is given how it's so often presented as robust and scientific :/
