The concept of IQ as a crude basic tool for evaluating severe mental injury or illness was perverted into a theory of social hierarchy that is only "proved" in hindsight.
That's a bald faced lie. Tons of eugenic theory revolves around the alleged primacy of intelligence as measured through IQ. The Mensa Club admits based on IQ. Employers can and do make hiring decisions based on IQ and similar exams. "Bell Curve" is exhaustively referenced as the legitimizing theory for these policies.
I'm aware, but the study itself makes no moral claims.
The study was produced by an individual who has made numerous moral claims outside of his writing and cited as motivation for moral crusades by his friends and political allies.
Try to keep an open mind. Merry Christmas.
An ironic request, given the subject matter you're defending.
