@shmibs @lain the point is to avoid an injustice where people who are not mentally capable of tasks are expected to do them anyways by society. we do not expect wheelchaired people to participate in water polo, and we should not expect the mentally incapable from being able to fill out their own tax forms unassisted.
the IQ test was invented to evaluate the mental combat fitness of drafted men. low IQ men on the battlefield are a huge liability and are many many times more likely to hurt themselves or allies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Project_100,000
i don't hate people with low IQs, i empathize with them when they talk about how frustrating it is to be held to certain expectations that they would have to exert ten times the amount of effort an average man would just to fulfill. IQ blindness is a disastrous policy that hurts everyone, imo.
