Let's give them a pass and unleash them at the next generation, even though they are not fit to fill that role?
I'm referring to smart kids who got fucked by a high school system that rewards compliance over intelligence, or the high IQ kids who couldn't learn because they had the misfortune of going to a "diverse" school. They're capable of university level work. They shouldn't just be given a pass without proving they deserve it, but they shouldn't be locked out of university level programs forever either. In my other comments in this thread I supported the idea of being able to prove capability in alternative ways. All that said a significant portion of the population will never be able to prove capability and they need career options that don't involve university.
So do I. Alas it's hard to filter those out. All I'm saying is, that we can't continue pretending it's all external. But go ahead and propose that we call morons out for what they are and deny them the 'easy' path. I mean, I guess you won't care being called a racist, but incidentially the moment you are called a racist your proposal is worthless and we'll keep putting morons in positions they are not able to fulfill.
At least a few upper-class white women will feel better about themselves, even though they ruined the lives of everyone they pretended to help.
I get you now. I think we largely agree on the problem and why it won't be solved. I'm under no illusions that my ideas are politically feasible. I'm just bringing them up to point out that the solution to this problem would be simple if it weren't for society's unwillingness to face some unpleasant truths.
The fundamental problem is that IQ is largely genetic and that any university program rigorous enough to impart useful skills will have to fail morons in order to retain its value. They'll never be allowed to do that because IQ isn't distributed in a politically correct manner and as you say retards will scream racism if they do.
So am I. And then? Let's give them a pass and unleash them at the next generation, even though they are not fit to fill that role?
Man, I'm glad that we stopped rewarding people that go above and beyond.
