      Hmmm yes let’s give the bourgeois state further incentive to deprive the people it doesn’t like of education

      That’s the least of bourgeois democracy’s problems, and such suffrage gatekeeping was banned for very good reasons.
      Previously.

      IQ is pretty much a bullshit measure that largely correllates to education and economic standing than anything else. There isn’t some grand variance in intelligence, actually, what’s at play is competing class interests and socioeconomic factors determining diet and access to education.

        IQ is not a statistic.

          IQ is generally bullshit. It tests how well people can take specific tests, it doesn’t correspond to actual intelligence, and people are far closer in that regard than they like to imagine.

              Sure, it’s a tested metric, I misspoke. That doesn’t change that IQ is bullshit.

                  Don’t see what the problem is, then.

            the iq test is indeed BS, and was built on hatefulness and eugenics - is there an alternative to the iq test? i was thinking of the sat.

        So if everybody is well-fed and educated, we could use it to let only the most intelligent people vote?

          “Most intelligent” is a moving target, but by feeding and educating everyone people will in general have better skills for making good decisions, yes.
