do "high-IQ" individuals even exist on the republican isle? why would a lefty want to get involved in this shit, especially unpaid? what idiot would accept unpaid labour under a multi-billionaire?
High IQ individuals definitely exist on the republican side. The only thing is that they are the most selfish kind (hence why they are republican) and hence they won't work for free.
IQ tests intentionally omit any questions related to empathy, emotional intelligence and creativity, so it can favour people from the top of the pile and act as accurate perdictor of success in ruthless capitalist society. It implicitly promotes lack of those traits in individuals and explicitly promotes the definition of intelligence that's unrelated to them. While you don't get lower scores if you're highly creative or empathetic person, so it's not directly a detrimental for society and can be a useful metric for some cases like specific jobs, it's image as sole measure of intelect is manufactured to promote "specific kind of people", to which group many republican businessmen would belong.
I'm not disagreeing with what you said, just thought I'd expand on that.
I would imagine there's a few high IQ people willing to be exploited because they get to work with their heroes: Shit Bag #1 and Shit Bag #2.
if those are their heroes they aren't "high-IQ"
Or, as another commenter pointed out, because their corporate bosses are paying gobs of money to them to 'volunteer' for these positions.
Or they just use the gig to grift. Seems like there would be a lot of opportunities to take bribes in a position like that.
(They mean folk indoctrinated into their ethonationalist world view, usually white.)
I'm considering it. I would cut the military budget in half.
