And that’s fine? A 130+ IQ population would be mindnumbingly boring tbh. We, as a society, need all sorts of humans - not everyone can work at FAANG. In fact, I’d go as far as to say that high IQ people aren’t significantly better at societal decision making.

What worthwhile insights can arise from someone who can't imagine a hypothetical?
That’s exactly the elitist mindset I’m talking about.
It is, but you are not really answering the question. Just calling a mindset names does not make it wrong.
The elitist mindset of expressing disgust at “low IQ” people is wrong. Please do link some sources proving the necessity of only “high IQ” populace, and how that’s sustainable as a society.
We are the high IQ society. Animal populations are pretty dumb and relatively speaking non-functional.
It’s hilarious when one is deep in an HN thread and the original point is completely missing.
I'm not sure what connection there is between IQ and workplace.
Which workplace do you vote at?
