Hurling ordure at the TREACLES, especially those closely related to LessWrong.
AI-Industrial-Complex grift is fine as long as it sufficiently relates to the AI doom from the TREACLES. (Though TechTakes may be more suitable.)
This is sneer club, not debate club. Unless it's amusing debate.
[Especially don't debate the race scientists, if any sneak in - we ban and delete them as unsuitable for the server.]

Funny, but that's not how it works. A (good) intelligence test doesn't ask you about stuff you learn in school. They are designed specifically to not have this problem.
(Some of them have categories where education helps you. This is on purpose and should have little influence on the final score. This is for the more detailed results.)
Everyone knows a good intelligence test asks you Raven's progressive matrices -- the one true sign of intelligence -- and nothing else
Edit: I was of course joking, but from my own link:
Sounds like some pretty depressing societies. Give me a secret cool kids club that's all about mazes any day of the week. I like mazes.
my brain is generating a Rationalist version of That’s So Raven where instead of psychic powers she scored really high on an online IQ test and constantly updates her Bayesian priors, and I feel like I need to drink this idea out of existence before Yud turns it into an extensive fan fiction
Delete this now. This is an info hazard.
"wait, is it ALL infohazard?"
"oh come on, that TOO?"
