I am really not sure what you are trying to say, sorry!

But the test were invented in the 1800-s by a French dude for preschool kids to see who requires more attention for their development?

…

My issue is not with its name!

The companies still are trying to sell IQ test off as objective measurement of intelligence and overwhelming measurement of the population believes it to be so!

If I were to sell you a medicine that helps with mild headaches as an all healing magical remedy would you call it bs?

If the 100 meter dash was called tetranlon it would be bs! If the intelligence test were called pattern recognition test then it wouldn’t be bs!

IQ tests are not an objective measurement of intelligence! It kinda measures pattern recognition and some other skill! Its a scam to sell preparatory classes for itself!

40-50-ish years ago they quite popular! You were required to take one for uni admissions, for appliying to work… Well before we found out its bs!

Sry, I meant no insult! Its just that 2/3 of this site are ‘merican

I was not talking about any sort of ethics? The really has been actively dumbing its ppl down since vietnam!

No, living conditions objectively used to be the best! In the 80-s the minimal wage was 3. something dollars while a bigmac only cost 25 pennies(?)! And you can argue, successfully mind you, that does not excuse its crimes against humanity as if its wealth were to steam from that… But life used to be, or at least I heard, great in the us! Shame, well not for us but for you guys, that communism ended and that your(?) non-democratic system has no longer any reason to provide you with good lives!

Again, can you maybe read your links? It exclusively gives examples of immortality of the US?

Also on a diff note:

It claims that the poverty of the peripheral countries is the result of how they are integrated in the global economic system. Dependency theory derives from the Marxist analysis of economic inequalities within the world's system of economies, thus, under-development of the periphery is a direct result of development in the centre.

Which rlly sound like some nationalistic bs from someone who is butthurt from being colonized, doesn’t it? I am sure europeans rowed over to africa in small boats to claim colonies!

The economic dependency is another fun segment for implying that the smaller countries don’t want the larger one’s investment in return of soft power!
