It seems the conclusion here is that: Lies work even after being disproven, especially on people with lower cognitive ability. The first follow up I have is: How do they define 'lower' cognitive ability? Assuming they're using IQ score or similar tests that go into an IQ score, what is the transition point? Are we talking about people who are below the norm -1 SD (~85 IQ), around the average of 100, or +1 SD (~115)? The number of people in/below those ranges are progressively bigger and have a larger impact on things like the popular vote, market trends, etc. The second follow up I have is: Ok, so now what? Since this is "cognitive ability" and not "education" convincing people to go to college isn't a solution. Do you limit voting to people with certain advanced degrees? Do they propose an IQ (or equivalent) test for voting? Is that the case they're making?
