One of the most aggravating things to me in this world has to be the absolutely rampant anti-intellectualism that dominates so many conversations and debates, and its influence just seems to be expanding. Do you think there will ever actually be a time when this ends? I'd hope so once people become more educated and cultural changes eventually happen, but as of now it honestly infuriates me like few things ever have.
the difference between pseudo-science and science can be slight, and always better understood in hindsight. IQ was a big part of race science in the early 1900s, and it looks like science. It’s objectively measured, systemic data. You’ve gotta take a step back to realise it’s bullshit and too subjectively defined to be useful for anything. A big part of science is trying to think objective, and it’s only been somewhat recently there’s been a movement to remind people that they aren’t actually objective, ever.

thought, think, will think. But I kind of did say that already.
