Good advice

Reminds me of this

Sending this to lady_nougat [she is blonde, of course].

Remember how like 30 years ago, people used to think BLOND HAIR correlated with low intelligence?

And then the internet came around, and we found out that actually it doesn't - however, there are physical features that absolutely do, and people get super butthurt if you talk about them.

@cjd @lord_nougat @vitalis @valleur someone with a 155 IQ indeed did get very butthurt at the mere suggestion that IQ was heritable. seriously. someone much much much smarter than I am responded with pure angry emotion at this terrible blasphemy. I asked her if she thought there was a connection between her parents being smart and her own children being smart. she said it was because her family valued education.

The high end of the IQ scale is unreliable. It's fairly easy to tell if someone is retarded, but it's hard to construct a test that will differentiate between a genius and a Rainman type idiot-savant. Guess which one there's a lot more of 😏
