That we have a lot of low IQ people out there and decided to address things with expectations explicitly based on IQ?
Leave the race thing out of this. We have a LOT of low IQ people per capita of all races.
I don’t think James Madison and the boys had a clue about this kind of circumstance.

I too question the wisdom of universal suffrage.

IQ isn't the be all end all
An IQ score tells you how well you do on an IQ test, it doesn't tell you how you'll function in society

Shouldn't the way IQ is computed mean that we have just as many high IQ people as low IQ?

No, an IQ test sets limits to your achievements. If you have an IQ of 79 you cannot be a doctor. It's impossible.

Yeah,they had no idea welfare shite was going to happen,they expected stupid people to get weeded out through natural selection. Welfare throws a monkey wrench into that shite.

Oh no? Why do you think they pushed a weak central government? Understanding of the common man's ignorance was also part of why the Electoral College was created for electing the President instead of a straight majority vote.
They knew. We've forgotten.

Not really. In many ways, it's what the dialogue is about now:
Conservatives: people need to be free to make their own choices
Liberals: there are a lot of dumb people out there, we need to care for them. That means govt programs.
Cons: Govt makes life more complex with an alphabet soup of govt agencies and regulations and a complicated tax system to pay for it. How is that supposed to help?
Liberals: you have no heart, you bastard!
Cons: you have no brain, you moron!

Then why does practicing taking an IQ test increase your score?
Anti-Zach strategy:
1) Take IQ test
2) Practice taking IQ tests
3) Become doctor

Design a system, op, as if you had carte blanche.
Sq peg round hole, culturally neutral.
Now what is cutoff?
Do people over 139 get two votes?

Plenty of high IQ types are completely social retards and possess the common sense of a rock.
As another stated, IQ is not the end all be all.

Simple, only people who pay taxes vote. If you are on govt assistance you lose your vote till you are off of it

True. All people are born with genetic limitations. The idea that 'you can be whatever you want to be' is a lie. From birth a baby girl cannot grow up to be a center in the NBA. IQ limits possibilities. But high IQ people can waste those potentials.
When I read about convicts who spend a year plotting a complicated plan to escape prison I think 'they could have put that kind of discipline to honest work instead of being a criminal.'
