all of their dumb rear end assertations are based around the idea that how fast you solve a mazes or anagrams or whatever is directly correlated to how well you function in society

I think it mostly comes down to the fact that they secretly realize that Emotional Intelligence is far more important as your scope broadens, even for many highly technical tasks, and they find it revolting.

We should be clear on why the Murray-Herrnstein argument was both morally offensive and poor social science. If they had stuck to what is ostensibly the core claim of the book, that IQ (whatever it is) is strongly correlated with one’s economic status, there would have been nothing objectionable about their work. In fact, it would even have been (as Murray himself has pointed out) totally consistent with a left-wing worldview. “IQ predicts economic outcomes” just means “some particular set of mental abilities happen to be well-adapted for doing the things that make you successful in contemporary U.S. capitalist society.” Testing for IQ is no different from testing whether someone can play the guitar or do 1000 jumping jacks or lick their elbow. And “the people who can do those certain valued things are forming a narrow elite at the expense of the underclass” is a conclusion left-wing people would be happy to entertain. After all, it’s no different than saying “people who have the good fortune to be skilled at finance are making a lot of money and thereby exacerbating inequality.” Noam Chomsky goes further and suggests that if we actually managed to determine the traits that predicted success under capitalism, more relevant than “intelligence” would probably be “some combination of greed, cynicism, obsequiousness and subordination, lack of curiosity and independence of mind, self-serving disregard for others, and who knows what else.”

The fact you have to be a sociable person with the kind of networking skills that allow you to pull projects together, directly undermines their ideal vision of a world that sucks their rear end for having a 115 IQ.

Everything would be fine if they could just live like a lab animal, constantly submitted to rote tasks over and over again in exchange for simple rewards - and maybe if they're lucky they'll even be allowed to mate.

I had a beer once with Stephen Miller and now I like him.

I also tried to ban someone from a Discord for pointing out what an unrelenting shithead I am! I'm even dumb enough to think it worked!

These are just the most non-creative people ever. Everything they use is stolen, co-opted, or just "original character" palletswapped from something established.

Any high level job requires a huge amount of dealing with stressful situations where your ability to interact with people and hold a group together is just as, if not more, important than the task you were asking to do. And I say this as someone who has to manage techies.

The thing is, the basic skill of being able to organize your poo poo and get poo poo done is neither emotional nor traditional intelligence, it is executive functioning, and many smart* people are notoriously terrible at it (like Einstein, who had trouble recognizing which apartment he lived in, or Paul Erdos, who had his mom cooking for him and doing his laundry until she died of old age).

* Especially for the "high IQ" definition of "smart," which is heavily skewed toward autistic people and others who are great at complex intellectual puzzles & memorization, but not necessarily great at much else.

Dude whines about being cheated on to like 20 forums. He claims his girlfriend did it so she'd get positive reviews for her pet project game. Bunch of people begin white knighting for him and pretend it's about "ethics in video game journalism." The rest is interchangeable with the history of the alt-right.
