Jordan Peterson dropped an uncomfortable truth on Triggernometry.
The U.S. military that is desperate for recruits won’t accept anyone with an IQ under 82. That’s roughly 10% of the population. They’ve tested this for decades and found these individuals become a net drain, no matter how hard they work. In complex environments, the disadvantage is real.
This lines up with ASVAB data. The military generally requires the 31st percentile (~IQ 92) but can dip to the 10th percentile (~IQ 81-83) in limited cases, confirming Peterson’s core point.
Conservatives struggle with it. Liberals often claim anyone can be trained to do anything. Both approaches fall short.
This one made me pause. We talk a lot about equality, but raw cognitive differences create real limits that are hard to solve.
Ignoring or sugarcoating these realities doesn’t help the people at the lower end, it leaves them without practical paths forward.
Do you think society can have an honest conversation about IQ differences, or is it too dangerous?

@alexfeinberg The wealthier the person in my experience the cheaper as far as taking balance sheet L’s and usually more petty over something they should just take the hit and move on life is to short … the lawyers make out in the end not the two people
@MichaelAlbertMD What’s your take on why hcg got banned from compounding? Tb500 has more then enough use data for healing ligaments and tendons but that isn’t what the PT business wants is it ? Let’s not forget how long the fda held up the heart stent 🤷♂️
@datarade Oh wait you mean someone can just make up a number of cpc or cpa and I’m paying that inflated number but can that be a great way to wash money …
