No suprises there. If people were smart they would see the obvious advtantage of a socialist society.

Yes it was a good article but we know this already.

Many bankers and politicians are extremely mediocre people who plunged the world into recession because of child like behavior with money

Well I think that just goes to show how poor a measure of intelligence IQ is.

Where in actual fact, intelligence means "how good you are at completing IQ tests".

IQ test would be best renamed to MA test, i.e. Mental Agility.

As far as I know, theres no measurement of Enterprise in the IQ test, and very little measurement of ingenuity, or reality based skills such as engineering, design, construction, programming etc.

In fact one should be wary of anyone who puts too much stock in IQ scores, they're likely to be a dulldrone.

Having a high IQ score does not require that person to do anything, but there are thousands, if not millions of people who are lead to believe that makes them better.

You don't have to develop a mathematical theory, or build an engine from scratch, or write computer code, its at the height of intellectual masturbation, and I would not be surprised if people with higher IQs, and cared about that fact, achieved less than people who didn't, since they're so caught up in how "intelligent" they are, they do not believe they actually need to do anything to be smart.
