Damn, fhe first half of that headline had me thinking something very different
True, Binet, the french psychologist who created the first test of this type was not a eugenicist.
But the first American to popularise the concept, was a radical eugenicist (racist, ableist etc.), Lewis Terman, and it’s his version of the IQ test that got popularised in the US.
Same. I used to be an avid reader as a young adult but I couldn’t bear them anymore with how little they care about people. It’s all money money money, not people.
Whenever someone says “boost” or “strengthen” the immune system, its marketing BS.
I don’t generally blame people for falling for it, because you even have medical professionals falling for it.
To be fair, the economist is shit.
They cheer welfare cuts that are projected to put tens of thousands of children into poverty and complain about tiny tax increases on the rich.
The economist is the magazine of the upper class. They may be neo-liberal instead of straight up facist, but they are morally bankrupt.
(And some reactionary intellectual circles still try to use it to justify “scientific” racism, to this day)
Exactly. Keep the rich rich.
Its conception and first uses were tailored to have data backing up the concept poor people, disabled people, and black people were dumber, thereby justifying forced sterilisation and human rights abuses of those groups.
In fact, the Nazis used a modified version inspired by the american concept of IQ tests to justify their genocide of disabled people.

There are tiny instances which would be happy to host more users and are faster than the big ones but no one joins them because most people just hear of lemmy.world or whatever is being shared on reddit and join that.
