I read it, and besides one paragraph (which presents a straw man) it has nothing to do with whether IQ is a psuedoscientific swindle and everything to do with whether eugenicists used IQ.

There are a couple of HN guidelines that try to keep that from happening that I think would have helped prevent this. > Be kind. Don't be snarky. > Please don't post shallow dismissals > Please don't comment on whether someone read an article
