I's Edumacated
IQ Bands and What They Mean
| IQ Range | Ability / Meaning |
| 130+ (Very Superior) | Top 2%. High-level innovation, advanced abstract reasoning, groundbreaking work. |
| 120–129 (Superior) | Top 10%. Excels in demanding fields (STEM, law, medicine). Competent researchers and leaders. |
| 110–119 (High Average) | Strong performers. Can succeed in college-level abstract work, solid professionals. |
| 90–109 (Average) | Middle of the bell curve. Routine problem-solving, some college possible with support. |
| 80–89 (Low Average) | Struggle with abstraction. Historically outside college; now often credentialed through lowered standards. |
| 70–79 (Borderline) | Limited abstract reasoning. Basic literacy possible, struggle with complex tasks. |
| 50–69 (Mild Intellectual Disability) | Basic literacy, simple jobs, some independence possible. |
| 35–49 (Moderate Intellectual Disability) | Limited literacy, require daily support. |
| 20–34 (Severe Intellectual Disability) | Very limited communication, continuous care needed. |
| Below 20 (Profound Intellectual Disability) | Complete dependence. |
Somewhere right now:
- A doctor with a 95 IQ is googling how to spell CPR.
- A Harvard admissions officer is reading an essay about overcoming adversity as the child of a single EBT queen — and how beating a murder charge proved “resilience.”
- A white female Sociology PhD candidate is publishing her paper on how Black trans women invented democracy.
WTF Happened?
Landmark Legal Shifts in Higher Education Access
| Case / Statute (Year) | Changes Caused |
|---|---|
| Brown v. Board (1954) | Ended segregation; established education as a civil right. |
| Civil Rights Act (1964) | Linked federal funding to nondiscrimination; widened admissions. |
| Griggs v. Duke Power (1971) | Banned aptitude tests with disparate impact; degrees became the new filter. |
| Title IX (1972) | Prohibited sex discrimination in education; expanded access broadly. |
| UC Regents v. Bakke (1978) | Struck down quotas but upheld race as admissions factor. |
| Grutter v. Bollinger (2003) | Reaffirmed diversity as compelling interest; entrenched holistic review. |
| SFFA v. Harvard/UNC (2023) | Struck down race-based affirmative action; legitimized “lived experience” essays as new lever. |
The collapse of higher education, and the institutions it feeds, is the product of structural legal changes.
Irrational Numbers
Did the country suddenly quadruple its collective IQ?

💡
College used to filter for the top 20-30% of the smartest people. The rest of the population could just go get a job without having a useless degree. With employers forced to defend their choices, credentials became the default filter. But since credentials still show gaps, push everyone into the credential machine and make a shitload of money from tuition. At least they won’t have time for kids or marriage.
Not every field collapses at the same rate. The softer the discipline, the faster the rot spreads.
- Education Departments — the softest of soft landings. Historically the lowest test scores, now the least rigorous degrees. These graduates go on to design K–12 curriculum. Think about that next time you wonder why schools can’t teach reading.
- Sociology, Gender, and Ethnic Studies — peer review here is ideological compliance, not intellectual rigor. Publish the right buzzwords, and you’re in. Publish data that contradicts the dogma, and you’re out.
- Professional Schools (Law, Medicine) — the very fields that once served as hard filters are being softened. Bar exams lowered, MCAT deemphasized, licensing tests moved to pass/fail. Representation now matters more than retention of knowledge.
- STEM Under Siege — math departments pressured to treat algebra as colonial relics, engineering journals requiring land acknowledgments before equations. Even hard sciences bend when funding and prestige are tied to “equity statements.”
The Systemic Decay
- Lower standards → weaker students admitted.
- Weaker students graduate → weaker academics hired.
- Weaker academics review papers → lower quality research published.
- Lower quality research informs policy → reality bends to ideology.
Rep. Jasmine Crockett: “The most educated demographic in this country is black women.”

This has to stop.
What do you think? Are black women the most educated demographic?
