Ive always wanted to share these on facebook as a way to call people stupid.

But then I realized they wouldn't understand it at all.

Maybe that's not so bad for Americans, they'll finally stop producing people who can't follow simple economic rules.

I would say it wouldn't hurt but it's like tossing a hot dog down a hallway; kids will just be more confused and retention will likely be zero; as in how many people are still able to even read cursive writing? Let's see how this pans out, I guess?

How did you reach the conclusion that they're "heavily correlated"? From the studies you posted, I'm seeing effect sizes of r ≈ 0.2, which is usually considered a weak correlation. A change in one variable explains only about 4% of variance in the other.

An effect of this magnitude is, I suspect, consistent with left wing beliefs/ideology being transmitted at universities, whose population has already passed a selection filter on intelligence.

i mean i went to a conservative college for undergrad. the idiots (not all of the students, just there were some real idiots. you've met me) at that college (compared to the peers i met at the other universities i attended) basically put the idea in my head "if that's this side, i want nothing to do with it. at least the idiots on the other side aren't as idiotic or hateful"

i didn't ever run into the idiots at the other universities (which i guess means i must've been it), so it was fun.
