I didn't read the article but it sounds silly. People take ideology too seriously. No ideology can beat this: "Those whom I love I rebuke and discipline. So be earnest and repent." I don't know if that's intelligence but it creates a proper path for us to follow, collectively.

You really ought to read it, I didn't post it to troll or anything. It uses evolutionary psychology and demonstrates actual statistical correlation between IQ and what it defines to be liberalism.

What makes what you quoted superior to those "silly" ideologies based on statistics and logic?

I want to add, if the personality is weak what does it matter one's intelligence? Especially nowadays, when there is so much manipulation and intimidation. Liberals and atheists, they act fearfully in many ways. They censor themselves, they don't follow their ideas to their proper conclusions regardless of the circumstances, they go with the crowd. Intelligence has to be combined with attractive personal qualities and spiritedness.

The reason I found this article is because of the whole IQ debate thread in this sub. It wasn't because I wanted to claim a person's IQ score matters over their other traits but because it comes up a lot in these types of circles.
