Racism actually starts with the believe in "race" as in non overlapping groups of physical features among human populations, which is provably false.   Then it actually goes on to ranking populations based on "intelligence", not using standardized tests and academics but anything that can be claimed to be superior.   That could mean being able to make a boat, making tattoes, making clothes or even making fire.....    <br><br>And by logical extension, "intelligence" as in performance on standardized tests in formalized educational systems is a modern concept not even 500 years old.    Most human societies were not based on that kind of intelligence as opposed to physical abilities and basic cognitive skills.  Because nature was free and available for everybody and you didn't need a college degree or certificate to survive. Meanwhile, most of today's obsession with IQ has more to do with the evolution of western economies from physical labor to post industrial intellectual innovation and patent creation.    So this is nonsense on all levels other than having people base their worth on running after degrees sold by the educational industrial complex.   Heck even beyond that all of this is nothing more than statistical modeling just like artificial intelligence is mostly based on statistical models.    And these models are mainly  for tracking the distribution of resources and capital for marketing purposes.,(reply>), @nehorlavazapalka yes,(reply>), That!,(reply>), no
