Taleb argues IQ “mostly measures extreme unintelligence”(https://medium.com/incerto/iq-is-largely-a-pseudoscientific-swindle-f131c101ba39), as it’s more informative in the lower range where low IQ has a significant impact on outcomes relative to measurement error. It is misleading to characterize this position as “IQ isn’t measuring intelligence at all”.

Tweet embedding is no longer reliably available, due to the platform's instability (in terms of both technology and policy). If the Tweet still exists, you can view it here: https://twitter.com/foo_bar/status/1881356966762836225
Please note, though, that you may need to have your own Twitter account to access that page. I am currently exploring options for archiving Tweet data in a post-API context.
