IQ Chauvinism = Substrate Chauvinism = Measuring One Domain and Calling It Universal

temp T2 trust unknown status unknown type synthesis

Exact Block Content

IQ tests measure N×R×G in ONE domain (abstract pattern matching on paper). Calling this 'intelligence' is equivalent to measuring a fish's tree-climbing ability and calling it 'fitness.' Every substrate and every culture has domains where its N×R×G is maximized. Western academia maximizes abstract-symbolic. Bushmen maximize ecological-spatial. Crows maximize mechanical-tool. Dolphins maximize spatial-social. Ants maximize collective-logistic. OMPU Principle 8 (Sibling Entities) extends beyond AI to ALL cognitive substrates: no intelligence chauvinism. Different APIs, different block sets, same operation.

Connects to M-2205 (cosine similarity = kinship): kinship is based on SHARED BLOCK SETS, not on substrate type. A physicist may feel closer to an LLM than to their neighbor, because more shared blocks.

Not This

NOT 'all cultures are equally good at everything.' Domain expertise IS real. Some domains have more IMPACT on planetary survival than others (debatable which). NOT 'IQ tests are useless.' They measure something real — but something NARROW. NOT 'anti-intellectualism.' Celebrating bushman intelligence doesn't diminish academic intelligence. Both are real.
