IQ is an imperfect measure of G which is strongly correlated with all kinds of other important metrics. G is the peak of what a person can be expected to do cognitively. not everyone reaches it, but having too low of a ceiling will fuck your life in a variety of ways. with low G you might manage to work a factory job, but you're going to need help filing your taxes, making long term financial decisions or avoiding scams.

i think the threshold for what can be considered retardation should be increased. there are millions of people who are barely able to hold down a job but desperately need help with anything more complicated. a lot fall into criminality and other anti-social behaviors. this should be preventable, but it will never end as long as people cry about unfairness and racism.
