One of the most terrifying statistics I ever came across was one detailing out the rationale of the United States Armed Forces for not allowing the induct. You can't induct anyone into the Armed Forces in the U.S. if they have an IQ of less than 83. Okay, so let's just take that apart for a minute because it's a horrifying thing. So the U.S. Armed Forces has been in the forefront of intelligence research since World War I, because they were on board early with the idea that especially during wartime when you're ramping up quickly that you need to sort people effectively and essentially without prejudice so that you can build up the officer course so you don't lose the damn war. Okay, so there's real motivation to get it right, right, because it's a life and death issue. So they used IQ and they did a lot of the early psychometric work on IQ. Okay, so that's the first thing. They're motivated to find an accurate predictor so they settle on IQ. The second thing was the United States Armed Forces also really motivated to get people into the armed forces, peacetime or wartime, well for obvious reasons, peacetime because, well, first of all, you've got to keep the armed forces going. And second, you can use the armed forces during peacetime as a way of taking people out of the underclass and moving them up into the working class or the middle class, right? You can use it as a training mechanism. And so left and right can agree on that. You know, it's a reasonable way of promoting social mobility. So again, the armed forces even in peacetime is very motivated to get as many people in as they possibly can. And it's difficult as well. It's not that easy to recruit people. So you don't want to throw people out if you don't have to. So what's the upshot of all that? Well, after 100 years, essentially, of statistical analysis, the armed forces concluded that if you had an IQ of 83 or less, there wasn't anything you could possibly be trained to do in the military at any level of the organization that wasn't positively counterproductive. Okay, you think, well, so what? 83? Okay. Yeah, one in 10. One in 10. That's one in 10 people. And that what that really means, as far as I can tell, is if you imagine that the military is approximately as complex as the broader society, which I think is a reasonable proposition, then there's no place in our cognitively complex society for one in 10 people. So what are we going to do about that? The answer is no one knows. Say, well, shovel money down the hierarchy. It's like, the problem isn't lack of money. I mean, sometimes that's the problem. But the problem is rarely absolute poverty. It's rarely that. It is sometimes, but rarely. It's not that easy to move money down the hierarchy. So first of all, it's not that easy to manage money. So it's a vicious problem, man. And so it's hard to train people to become creative, adaptive problem solvers. It's impossible. You can't do it. You can't do it. You can entertain six years. But you can't do that. It's training doesn't work. It's not going to work in six months, but it could work in six years. No, it doesn't work. Sorry, it doesn't work. Like the data on that's crystal clear as well. Well, it sounds like the tenants at your rental property sure know how to throw a great party. You just wish they wouldn't throw so many parties on Tuesdays until four a.m. And if they could pay the rent on time, that would be nice too. Being a landlord can be stressful, but it doesn't have to be. Let renters warehouse handle the hard part of property management for you, like finding quality tenants you can trust.
