    an hackernews:

    a high correlation between intelligence and IQ

    motherfuckers out here acting like “intelligence” is sufficiently well-defined that a correlation between it and anything else can be computed

    intelligence can be reasonably defined as “knowledge and skills to be successful in life, i.e. have higher-than-average income”

    eat a bag of dicks

      ooh can I play? A species’ or race’s intelligence can be reasonably defined by how rapidly it extracts resources from the surrounding area.

      These must be the same people who say your rich because you are worthy in God’s eyes.

      “A high correlation between intelligence and the thing we define intelligence as”
