IQ is always a point of contention, and one's "level of education" is often thrown around as an example of intelligence, when in reality there is little correlation. Perhaps at one time there was, but now that college has been dumbed down, not so much.
I've worked with engineers (that have mechanical engineering degrees) but can't do simple algebra, and lack the ability to understand plant sequences. They simply can't understand some concepts. I've tried to explain these concepts to them in ways that a child could understand, and they simply can't grasp it. These were not terribly complicated sequences.
Toward the beginning of the article; where you quoted the questions and answers centered on conditional hypotheticals -- that's how it is working with some engineers. It's really kind of scary.
I don't understand how they graduated.
SpaceX is transporting NASA astronauts back to Earth from the ISS. This is happening not because SpaceX brought them there, but because Boeing’s spacecraft is not up to the task of returning them. This doesn’t happen because Boeing hired “the best of the best.”
We’re in trouble as a society if these issues are not corrected quickly. I can guarantee that there is no other [serious] society -- prioritizing “equity” over competence. The result of this nonsense will be the collapse of the US.
As a kid, I had a book with puzzles from MENSA application tests. Boy, did I have an IQ after working through the book. Alas, it was more like a Covid vaxx. The next variant (aka, real-world problem) just laughed at me.
Thank you.
This is one of my favorite articles.
