For me I would hold the social media companies more to account when it comes to hate speech and harassment online and force social media companies to do more to stop online harassment and hate speech.

        Anyone who believes IQ is actually a thing needs to be disfellowshipped and moved to the outer peripheries of one’s acquaintanceships; that shit’s WAY too close to eugenics and phrenology for me to trust ANYONE advocating for it

      It’s always the fuckin’ IQ tests with our friends in the “more civilized” world.

      Those of us who don’t live in an “out of sight out of mind” fairytale and aren’t ignorant of the world enough to not realize the Internet has become an essential utility now, know that this would harm many of the groups negatively affected by hate speech probably more than hate speech does; many oppressed minority groups do not have access to quality education. Some of us are from countries or of ethnicities that have history with minimum IQ requirements for, say, voting. To say nothing of how IQ tests contain Western cultural biases and might not even actually be good at measuring intelligence.

      Sounds like it could be used to oppress people. And even still some of the evilest people are extrordinarily intellegent.

      The spelling error makes this delicious.

      On a serious note, IQ tests have done more harm than good in this world.

      Its a joke - yes.

      Though, realistically, an empathy test would probably filter out a large portion of the haters. It’s harder to hate when you internalize the condition of others.
