You actually can redistribute IQ! Just clean up all the lead in poor
communities, and then directly pump it into elite private schools. Nice
try Geoffrey!
You could also just subject them to [the controlled treatment of "having been killed by a car"](https://www.reddit.com/r/slatestarcodex/comments/am5dcd/the_causes_of_individual_difference_in_inelligence/efjkm3z/). SSC has Jeoffry's number!
I can see how it'd be read that way; my intended "goof" was more that, say, Flint (or most other LIAs for that matter) have insanely high lead levels in their kiddos due to their water infrastructure -- I grew up in a place with lead pipes, so "don't drink the water" was always impressed on me.
I...don't see how this suggests you're not joking about violence against kids. The first one makes a joke about negative redistribution, and you specifically twist the joke so it's about pumping lead into the kids.
I might be misunderstanding the use of negative redistribution then; my take is that since the lead in poor communities is in the infrastructure, if you were aiming to get it into rich kids, you'd put it in the same places in rich communities.
That was more in line with what I was going for, yes. I'd imagine that we'd be having a pretty different conversation right now if you *had* read it as a school shooting joke, though.
Either way, that's not an interpretation I'm much keen on on people making, so I took it out behind the ol' "wow I only thought this halfway through" shed.
In contrast, “right wing shut-in losers” are obsessed with IQ because
it’s the one thing they think isn’t affected by society. Wait, it totally is ?
Shut up regressive leftists!
LOL. Didn’t libertarians and conservatives like Robin Hanson “joke”
or “thought experiment” about “redistributing sex” (i.e. redistributing
people classified as sex objects, i.e. women)? They protest too much on
the subject of overly intrusive redistribution, IMO.
tbh i think the history of tv superheroes/sci-fi has demonstrated for my purposes at least that there was no realistic chance of its having actual potential

I’ll steal your brain juice, Geoffrey. Just as soon my toothbrush collection is complete…
“social activist progressives” hate my Xbox Gamerscore because it’s one of the few resources they can’t redistribute by force. GAMERS RISE UP

One weird trick.
All I can hear is “hi i’m Geoffrey and I have no idea what ‘resource’ means.”
Look at this clown who hasn’t heard of eating people’s brains to gain their powers.
That’s why the left supports lobotomies for all!
not with that attitude
