IQ?

[glendagladwitch]

Ok, I'm getting pissed off now.  I am being reminded of when I was growing up and my racist mom would exclaim how there ought to be a law that all the little unwed mothers and girls that get abortions ought to have to have their tubes tied.

I envision two future worlds.  One is filled with primitive, stupid, violent humans.  The other with cultured, advanced, peaceful ones.  Either way, the sun eventually expands and burns the world clean.  Both worlds equally deserve it.

And that the trouble with such things that create exceptionalism and elitism.

[BunnyBee]

I do

Well be careful with that thing, you could hurt someone!

I agree, Let it burn.

[tekla]

Its not like its going to burn anytime soon in that scenario.  That's a couple of hundred of thousands of years off.  In the meantime, lets keep the matches out of the reach of children shall we?

You're only off by four orders of magnitude -- have you considered a career in cosmology? Or perhaps economics?

p.s. ... Am I actually reading about trans people advocating for eugenics? I don't think it takes an IQ of 180 to see how that could be seen as ever so slightly ironic.

Oh like there is some sort of major difference, excepting that cosmologists have to be right on occasion, somin' economists don't exactly get held to.

And no, irony around here is a self-administered gift, so enjoy it.  God knows I do.

I think IQ is a load of bull.

Apparently mine is high enough to be in gifted, and a year above grade level (technically two, but because of where my birthday falls, I got pushed ahead a year... probably not the smartest move)
That's total crap. I can barely handle my grade level, I'm far from 'gifted' and 'common sense' tends to elude me.
And I totally bombed my PSAT writing section... like, 2/6 bombed. (Thank god THAT one isn't going on my transcript...and I have time to do better next year...)

It means nothing. How well you can do on a single test means nothing to your intelligence, or capability in life.
