Intelligence is about being able to predict. If you do not take genetics into account or do not wish to see reality your predictions become off.

In a predictive function for say national success that doesn't take genetics into factor you might say things like:
- Brazil will be a super power
- Iraq will be a successful democracy
- Once Gaddafi is gone Libya will be better off
- China will collapse soon (repeat every year for 20 years of prediction)

If the goal is to model the world and your understanding of it to have better predictions to make better decisions, aka education spending. Which had billions and billions spent on pre-k thinking it was what gave rich people advantages only to find out after comprehensive study all pre-k changes went to 0 impact after a few years.

The point is the fear and dismissal over the reality of human genetics, a lysenkoist trait of institutions, has led to immense miscalculation and poor predictive functions existing inside the system. It's not which between Lysenko or Mendelian sounded better, it's what is true and what is reality

The fact is an avg 80 IQ population behaves tremendously different than a 100 IQ population. That the population of African Americans at 120 IQ have a very different trajectory in life and value economically than 90 IQ ones. Sadly, muh feels trumped science and after decades of bad decisions, miss allocation, and stupidity it's time to right the ship.

Also you can't expect everyone to realize it's all a lie. Over the past decades leaders, economists, etc all believed the bullshit PC mass media campaign that genetics don't matter, to mass mistakes.
