America needs ditch diggers, too. And skilled tradesmen can make as much as any engineer. Free trade still rules. [Dons flame retardant suit]
interesting read.
And it begs questions, about what sort of work people can do to earn a living. Not everyone can be an engineer, or wants to be an engineer, as noted.
There are some job categories, for which you need a certain mindset or personality, such as sales. I’m sure there are many high IQ individuals who would not make a living as a salesman. On the other hand, some lower IQ people might have the assertiveness of personality, and learn some basic sales techniques, to earn a good living at it.
But EVERYBODY should get debt free college attendance at college according to the ‘RATS. Right, that money well spent - at least they will be indoctrinated by the Leftists.
I think there is a veiled reference to the millennial issue here.......
Everyone should be given an IQ test at 4.
If you don’t score a 180, you are summarily imprisoned for the rest of your life.
So we can certainly get rid of the idiots that keep harping on this stupid topic, when they cant get seem to get to their bloody point.
Liberals don’t want income distributed by IQ - they want it distributed by feelings. :)
thanks to the Pyramid of Ability principle there will always be employment available for even low IQ people.
Free Trade does not necessarily cause outsourcing.
Farming, building and maintenance, service industries, education and countless other forms of employment are resistant to outsourcing.
His argument had more than a whiff of arrogance.
Here is something to consider on this subject and this is from an engineer with multiple legendary degrees from really universities
If you spend even a minimal amount of time studying different subjects you will be a learned person
it’s all right there for you now
Back in the day you would have to go to the library
now it’s at your fingertips
Regardless of IQ, while it might nice to travel, I just can’t see myself guiding a train all over the country.
Liberals believe that there ought to be a job for everybody. That seems to be untrue. The military has found that attempting to employ people with an IQ less than about 85 is counterproductive; that is, more productive effort has to be expended on such an employee than is generated by that employee.
Similarly, conservatives believe that anyone can thrive if they just work hard enough. That too appears to be false.
The solution to many of our economic problems may well lie in recognizing those two truths.
Hm?...Does that mean that not everyone can learn to code? /s
When I saw the headline, I assumed it was a critique of AOC supporters, since her IQ, or the lack thereof, doesn’t seem to be an issue for them.
Spencer P Morrison had better recheck his basic facts. Steven Jobs wasn’t an engineer.
Forum members might profit by redirecting their own thinking a little: IQ and the “five factor model” are both computer models. We can’t say “climate models bad” and “smartness models good”, then still hope to be taken seriously.
