Early researchers wondered if intellectual maturity and higher reasoning were possible for a creature that never pupated.

"How is it possible to become a full thinking being when one is essentially still a larvae, and can only grow in the manner of larvae, bloating and aggregating... never transforming?"

Human larvae are rather like silverfish in that they look similar to the adult forms. How (and if) their minds become capable of logical reasoning without molting even once remains a mystery.

Idk what possessed me to do this honestly, but I took a legit certified IQ test just now

So I apparently have an IQ of 149 and my highest qualification is abstract reasoning. It said I also am superior to 97% of the world’s population… HUH?? I’m in denial and shock at myself currently;-;

Only vote if you’ve taken an official, in person test (dodgy online ones don’t count).

If you’ve had a neuropsychological evaluation (most people who have been diagnosed with or assessed for neurodevelopmental disorders such as intellectual disability, adhd, autism, and learning disabilities) you’ve probably had your IQ tested

To the people who keep saying that people in Africa have a low IQ. Guess what different places, different skills needed.

Survival skills like hunting, farming, and understanding the environment are forms of intelligence that often go unrecognized in traditional measures like IQ tests. These abilities require a deep understanding of nature, resource management, and problem-solving under challenging conditions—things that many people in urbanized societies wouldn’t know how to do.

In rural Africa, for example:

Hunting: Requires knowledge of animal behaviour skills, and quick decision-making—comparable to strategic thinking in business or problem-solving in science.

Farming: Involves expertise in soil, weather patterns, and crop cycles.

Community Knowledge: Many people in African cultures have strong oral traditions and exceptional memory skills for passing down knowledge, storytelling, and preserving history.

These skills are just as important as formal education—if not more so—in regions where self-reliance is critical for survival. In fact, many people in highly industrialized societies would struggle to survive without modern conveniences, while others with these survival skills thrive.

The real measure of intelligence should be how well someone adapts to and navigates their environment, not how they perform on a test designed for entirely different contexts. It’s this kind of adaptability and ingenuity that should be celebrated, no matter where someone is from.

Jon Haidt: As I said, if you sacralize your political ideology's heroes, you cannot think straight, and this is where we are in the sciences.

It's obvious that if you're a social conservative, Evangelical, young Earther creationist, you probably shouldn't be going into a PhD program in biology or geology, okay. It's just going to be really hard for you to deal with reality if you deny evolution and the age of the Earth, okay. You shouldn't go into American history if you say America is the greatest country on Earth and it simply cannot have committed war crimes. We just don't do that. I mean that's-- that should be a disqualification.

But what about on the left? Suppose you had students coming in who deny that IQ matters. Not anymore, but for decades it's just very uncomfortable, because there are race differences in IQ, the general view is IQ is a bad test, it doesn't measure, it doesn't matter, we can't allow that IQ matters. Because IQ is heritable, we can't allow that heritability matters. Environment has to be everything. The left has always believed that environment can overcome everything else so, can you do social science if you deny heritability, you think everything is environment when it isn't?

The left is full of sex difference deniers. Hormones are fine for other animals, hormones affect behavior in other animals, but how sexist of you to suggest that male and female differences could in any way be due to the fact that they exposed to different hormones prenatally? That just is ruled out of bounds. Now it's not that the left denies evolution. That's fine for other animals. But evolutionary psychology? Well, that's almost sexist and racist. No, evolution didn't shape human beings.

And last, the biggest area in my field is the study of stereotypes and prejudice. And we're trying-- it's an important social problem but we try to solve it while not allowing anybody to even mention the largest cause of stereotypes and prejudice. There is a small research literature showing that the reason why people hold stereotypes is because they're accurate. Most stereotypes do correspond to some measurable, observable fact about the environment. Now, there are often misinterpretations, the stereotype often lingers long after the reality changes, so I'm not saying the stereotypes are perfectly accurate. But I'm saying a big part of the story is that people are really good at detecting differences between groups. We're intuitive Baysians. We pick up frequencies. You can't stop the brain from doing this. So, suppose you had a whole group of people coming into social psychology who were the equivalent of young Earth creationists, who say, "I'm going to study stereotyping and prejudice, but I'm going to just rule in advance that there are no differences between groups. And now I'm going to study what's left." That's where we are.

So, my point is that all groups value the truth, okay. Every ideological group believes it values the truth. All groups hold something sacred. And if you hold something sacred then, as I've said, no trade-offs, no nuance. That means that your sacred values are going to conflict with the truth. And when that happens, all groups are the same. They throw truth under the bus and they go with their sacred values. And that's where we are.

So, I hope I've shown you that political homogeneity, now that we no longer have conservatives in some academic Fields, it's a problem. It's bad for our science, we need to clean up our act. We talk a lot about the value of diversity; intellectual diversity is the most important kind of diversity there could be.

What he's describing is faith. Beliefs based on faith. If you think everything is "a social construct" - such as that it's fine for monkeys to choose sex-typical toys and engage in sex-typical activities, but "I aIn'T nO mOnKeY!!1!" - even if you're an atheist, you're dealing in faith.
