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.

Self-reported IQ doesn't count.
