I grow weary of having to speak down to the intellectually impoverished in the Politics thread and I am proposing we create a thread where the brilliant among us can exchange ideas without the distortion created by members who are limited by their own lack of grey matter.
I believe the best way to execute this would be to create a thread that is by default closed to new posts from members but they can be granted access by providing proof of a standardized test score that can be used to approximate an IQ value as well as identity verification. SAT or ACT scores would be the easiest metric to use and we can use the conversion table here starting out: SAT I to IQ Estimator. It's not perfect but it's the most efficient way to do this since almost all Americans take the SAT or ACT and you can pull up old scores freely on their websites.
I believe an IQ 135 is a good chopping point which is about the 98.5% percentile. So based on that, we will require an SAT score of 1350 or an ACT score of 32 to participate in the High IQ Politics thread.
Additionally, since we're dealing strictly with intelligent people here, we will not tolerate any sort of personal attacks or any other sort of behavior that does not contribute to the discourse and the free exchange of ideas in the thread.
@Amod please let us know when the thread is set up and who we should submit verification requests to.
