Another complexity -- it turned up about two years ago that there are people walking around (always have been) .. ostensibly with 'normal' IQs .. who have no "mind's eye". Which is to say they reportedly can't imagine or 'picture', for instance, a simple pencil in their mind .. much less complex abstracts, systems, or how a course of action will quite obviously turn out.
Wtlf , -- Is that even Human??
And how do people who can't think get to have an equal say in matters that require being able to?
In the limited early exploration of this, apparently they didn't realize it was a cognitive defect. Anytime someone had ever said "picture X" or "imagine Y", they believed it was some idiomatic rhetorical thing that they just weren't getting .. rather than an actual instruction on how to arrive at a commensurate subtextual understanding.
How much of that is going on? It seems it's legion during current year at Chas Chop, as people are starving, sleeping on sidewalks, and pissing on the walls of burned-out buildings completely sure that they're insightful and totally forming a new international nation to fight against the evil white nazis.

If you can't extrapolate off of abstract concepts or follow simple instructions, you simply aren't going to produce economic value to the world. This leads to income disparity that they then blame on people who can do things of value. The choice is to do something entirely evil to the low IQ subset or just give in and hand them a basic standard of living supported by people who do work. Jordan Perterson actually turned me away from being max libertarian because I didn't realize they were mentally incapable and need some external help. I realize some people think this should be the role of private churches, which is ok by me. There will always be a frustrated group of people who don't want their taxes going to those who don't work, but the alternative is retard riots. Democrats are doing a fantastic job pushing them into rage mode lately.
If you haven't run across it (and I'm only presuming big brother hasn't removed it from the web) there's accounts of a doctor from over a hundred years ago who was dealing with severe TB (?) patients and could predict their time of death to within an hour. So he'd place them in a bodylength pan, hanging from a scale, where he could retain all their various effluvium and also their respiration products, and all of them, irrespective of size, at the moment of their deaths the scale would short by 21 grams.
I wasn't there. Cool story.
The article was real, from a NYC paper. No one ever 'debunked' it, just a lot of hemming about spaghetti monster. Never made any sense out of that. Presumably their theory was that the 21 grams flitted to italian restaurants and helped make new spaghetti.

The lack of internal monologue is what spawned the NPC meme.
The evidence for my "limited soul" theory continues to mount.
