they already did this with lactose tolerance and it was an epic fucking fail, and it will be a fail with intelligence too, because the scientists will necessarily use eurocentric methods that oversample euro-descended people, thus placing greater importance on euro-associated IQ alleles (and not Asian or other associated ones).

Except that unlike lactose tolerance, many normal people are offended by IQ differences, and will actually analyze the trash science behind this, instead of accepting it at face value.

The leftists will (rightfully) attack the flimsy logic behind this, and the perception of the intelligence gene argument will be irreversibly further tarnished. Technically they could have done this with lactose tolerance already, except I guess nobody cares about that.

I'd love to see real research on cognition, but unfortunately the current state of pop sci uses logic that says "modern Europeans have black skin" because they lack the paleness allele found in Asian populations. In other words, it's rotting garbage.
