Its incredibly socially awkward to float the idea that you could judge someone’s intelligence by their physical features and claim some objective validity. This is quite unfortunate because in my opinion IQ is pseudoscience and intelligence is socially constructed, so its not going to be possible to substantiate that view. But since we can’t even propose such an idea for purposes of argument without the danger of social sanction, those ideas are never properly debunked.
- damnyou 6y agoThe reason you can't do that by the way is because of literal centuries of slavery and oppression which was informed by the same basic idea, that some groups of people are naturally better than others. Until things have been fine for an equally long time, such arguments will be socially sanctioned, as they should be.
