As it turns out, not so much: let's imagine you make up an IQ test with half the questions about English and half about Math. The results of that test would also correlate highly with English and Math scores, but it wouldn't prove any link between English and Math, right? As it turns out though there are some cross-subject connections that can't be explained that way, which leads to the "mutualism" theory: Quote:
Now to be fair this is not "settled" science, just the latest research I'm aware of. But it explains several problems with the "g" intelligence theory (eg. why do infant IQ tests not correlate with adult success the way later tests do? Because they haven't yet developed in a way that links those concepts). But if it makes you feel any better, I'm guessing all you IQ fans aren't big fans of the idea of EQ ("emotional intelligence")? Well it turns out EQ is just like the above, only it's been proven to be bullshit statistically. A really smart friend of mine (the kid did high school in two years and UC Berkeley undergrad in three) actually did a breakdown of EQ and was able to prove that there is no "EQ", just a bunch of unrelated things (empathy, willpower, etc.) arbitrarily linked together by some overexcited researcher.

it turns out elites aren't really that elite and are only 1 big expense away from having the legs cut out of them. most of you can't imagine it since you live in abject poverty anyway, so this issue is far removed. What is 80k, 100k, 120k shrinking salary have to do with your nonexistent 10k you make flipping cars you might ask. The fact is the tax code is simply unfair and until people are paying their fair share, shrinking 100k salaries aren't going to cut it either. now drop dunks on it, now drop dunks on it repeat refrain x2 https://www.npr.org/2017/12/03/56760...ear-looks-like

Yea IQ totally exists. That's why its a completely arbitrary list of questions that is updated with the times *cough Flynn Effect cough.* Our ancestors all must have been retarded by our modern IQ standards.
Here's the reality: smart people tend (but not always) to score high on IQ tests. Smart people are better at making money in a capitalist system. That's what we know. | ||

It really is a shame that we can't add value to our zero sum game without exploitation.
