I.Q ideology

This research topic submitted by Jack Ferguson (scancode@wireweb.net) on 2/10/99.

This ideology pushes social engineering through their i.q.
agenda. It encourages a culture of mediocracy with a few superstars. Hollywood tells us that this special segment of the social organism must live on in some government cave paid folr by the rest of us if disaster strikes. It will not recognize that everyone has a special gift or genius that will remain undeveloped in this culture. I think that i.q.
is first the ability to survive, then control, a hostile environment. I.Q. serves us well if we live and control our situations. I.Q. is then relative to the environmental crisis. Mozart would be a genius in the courts of Vienna, but stupid in an Eskimo village. His products fit this culture and are thought eternal. Not on the ice. No one looks at an i.q. test as a great cultural product such as the works of the composers. It may be argued that Motzart could test high on these test and the test would somehow predict that Motzart was genius. Millions score high on these tests, but few produce master works. An elitism of great minds is fine, if they are productive. If they are not productive and creative, they are part of the mediocracy. The problem as I see it to change the ideology to recognize the inherent genius and value of each person waiting to be discovered, encouraged, and placed in a position of value in the puzzle of life.
