Gattaca is more about genetic perfection in areas other than intelligence, for some reason. I remember Ethan Hawke's character being as intellectually capable as anyone, and it was just his heart problem (and other minor physical imperfections like height) wjocj held him back. Gattaca's setting also seemed more naive in that work hard = success whereas my story is set in a very plausible future where hard work (or even intelligence, and let alone integrity) is insufficient to do well.
You've clearly never met anyone with 88 IQ. I bet you were thinking of someone average (100-110) when writing that character. 80 IQ is borderline downie
It's for the sake of clarity for normies. If you say 100 IQ it's low but it looks like it's high enough to normies. Same reason weather forcast doesn't give the real wind speed. 50 km/h wind speed is insane but since it's a slow pace for a car normies won't understand it.
Then it's dishonest and you're perpetuating the problem. Anyone with a mild interest in the matter can google what's the average IQ in adults and see it's 105. 80 used to be the cutoff for mental moronation but they lowered the bar because too many black students tested that score. It doesn't change the fact that someone with 88 IQ would objectively have trouble forming whole sentences and his "impersonation" would fool absolutely nobody.
>real wind speed
Are you moronic? I did some forecasting for a few years. We use both. The main reason we use metric in discussions is for pilots, sailors, and truck dispatchers, who have their systems setup to deal in metric. Oh and just remember that pretending to be a moron will turn you into one.

No one told you that "100" is average? If you separate a group and test IQ, the average is 100 of that group, even if the average, when compared to the general population, is 130. We just use the 100 as a starting point. This is why you aren't supposed to try to compare different time periods because it's an entirely different set.
You're right about everything else.
>Are you moronic?
Yes, but it doesn't change the fact most normies don't know that even 20km/h wind speed is heavy. Their relate speed to what they know best (cars) so it can't speak to them.

Even if you convert it to miles they'll still think it's slow because their SUV is faster. Nevermind the fact that winds at that speed will send you flying across the street if you step outside

Weak manlet detected.
Wait, I realized you thought I meant "real speed" as in imperial versus metric system, but I live in a first world country so I never think about the imperial system. My bad for clarity.
OP here. I read Cloak of Competence for how below-average IQ people actually behave. Someone with an IQ of 88 can actually quite easily pass off as average IQ as long as he's not required to perform any complex tasks (hence the title "Cloak of Competence").

And no he wouldn't necessarily have trouble forming whole sentences, unless he also happens to have below average verbal intelligence relative to his overall IQ.
*crack* *sip* I might, but I've also seen face off.

seems like an interesting enough premise.
i'd read a summary and then see if anyone cares that i like it
no because it sounds like an unbelievable cope. You can't fool anyone with 80IQ, you're two deviations away from the smarties
It sounds moronic.

Why did you assume that? It was my first post here. The issue I mentioned does trigger my autism a lot.
My mistake, I thought you were OP

80 IQ would be considered mentally moronic if we didn't' lower the classification to appease black Americans.

It comes across as a stupid person trying to write a smart character, like Sherlock.
You read it? If so, I'm curious to know how you arrived at that assessment.
