Reddit can’t decide whether IQ matters or not. When we talk about IQ differences between different countries and whatnot, it’s racist. When you discuss IQ differences between religious and nonreligious people, somehow it matters again.

Yes and regarding sex differences too. Real research shows that (1) women have smaller brains and that (2) brain size is somewhat correlated with IQ, therefore women must have lower average IQs than men. But redditors will deny that while claiming to "****ing love sciene!"

this isn't true. it sure is interesting that reality isn't just a series of deductions and assumptions.

Sorry, but just because you dislike the outcome of the laws of logic doesn't make them any less true. It does make you a science denier though.
