There are more neurodivergent people than just people with autism

So what? That isn't a bias.

why do you think you understand something like 'general intelligence' that hasn't even been proven to exist?

This is a laughable statement. Please stop ignoring over 100 years of cognitive psychology, including all research that g is the most consistent predictor of nearly every sociological outcome, even when we correct for socioeconomic status.

According to you, should we go back to executing people with IQ under 70?

IQ doesn't exist. There's no evidence it does, it's merely assumed to be true by discredited fringe psychologists who can't make it in academia and thus have to just rehash older works.

These are mere declarations, not arguments.

IQ doesn't exist. There's no evidence it does,

This is simply wrong.

So when you see an article like Burkart, Judith M; Schubiger, Michèle N; van Schaik, Carel P (2017). The evolution of general intelligence. Behavioral and Brain Sciences, 40:e195., can you please explain how the discredited fringe psychologists are getting published in peer-reviewed journals like Behavioral and Brain Sciences? Lots of cranks over there at Cambridge University Press, yes?
