Since this is still at the top of the site I'm thinking a [Junk Science / Climate Change Denier] tag might be called for, but the only mod is inactive.

iq and iq comparison are science

bad science is still science and needs to be addressed the same way all other science is: a good old fashioned effort at disproving it

One way in which one would attempt to shift the burden of proof is by committing a logical fallacy known as the argument from ignorance. It occurs when either a proposition is assumed to be true because it has not yet been proved false or a proposition is assumed to be false because it has not yet been proved true.

Even Wikipedia knows why you are bad at science.

You see the first thing? That's what most iq comparison science is. "Try to disprove my claim, liberal cucks! PROTIP: YOU CAN"T!!!!!"

Science is not done by just telling people X is pseudoscience and thus not worth considering. It is done by evidence and evidence alone.

There is plenty of evidence by which to judge IQ. Throwing it out just because is no different from those who cling to it just because.
