Welcome to c/science_memes @ Mander.xyz!

A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.



Rules

  1. Don't throw mud. Behave like an intellectual and remember the human.
  2. Keep it rooted (on topic).
  3. No spam.
  4. Infographics welcome, get schooled.

This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.

Reactionaries genuinely believe this. They think IQ isn't a total meme, that it's the greatest indicator of a person's intellect. And of course, that some groups have higher IQ than others because of genetic superiority (IQ tests totally aren't rigged/biased). They use this to explain why Europeans "built civilization" while everyone else are all stupid savages (instead of Europeans having resources others did not that allowed them to kill everyone).
