@SuperDicq @phnt @protos @r000t not to mention, iq is not arbitrary. it is one of the most g-loaded measurements we've been able to devise, and g informs aptitude in virtually every single task a human being can perform. as such, even if you have a totally impersonal system that doesn't distinguish one person from another, people with higher iq will consistently achieve better outcomes measured according to that system compared to people with lower iq.

@HatkeshiatorTND@annihilation.social @phnt@fluffytail.org @protos@tsundere.love @r000t@ligma.pro Statistical reliability in test results does not mean the test is indicative of someone's ability in making political decisions.

Reliability is not validity.

@SuperDicq @r000t @phnt @protos you've lost me.
hypothetically, assume height correlated with lower propensity to violence, higher expected lifespan, higher expected net worth, higher performance in virtually all tasks, etc. etc. why wouldn't a rational person choose a taller candidate for any given role, ceteris paribus?
