Great topic; Lex did a great job redirecting back to the fact that all of us have equal human value. As a director of special ed, I review IQ and other cognitive measures all the time. For those with lower IQs, they do have more struggles particularly with their academics; however, I have seen many overcome and graduate. For those with the lowest IQs, they will not conquer academics and will forget much of what they learn in school; however, I know they have equal human value as all of us. Sometimes, I need to remind our staff that one of our school janitors who likely has a lower IQ and often needs reminders to finish his tasks is a success story - he is contributing, he cares about our school and students and he is a kind and respectful adult. Thanks for a great podcast Lex!,(reply>), @Cdogmaximilian Thanks for your reply. I agree that IQ definitely matters in regards to one’s marketable value which is very important. I also believe each person holds value as a person which is independent of their IQ.,(reply>), Yeah but he'll never be anything but a janitor, and if he wasn't at such an understanding school where you literally have to make daily allowances for him, he would have been fired.<br><br>Do you understand how your observations just reinforce what was said?
