The dirty little secret is that many in the new upper class, on left and right alike, in their heart of hearts, do think that their moral worth is linked to their IQ.

I'm actually going to bite this bullet. Like, you know, not deterministically linked, but correlated. Someone like me who couldn't think the same kind of thoughts would be living an impoverished, less-valuable life—just like I'm living a less-valuable life than my IQ 180 analogue

Even if this is your underlying axiology, I think it overall builds a better society if we don't try to work out which people are more morally valuable.

I get what you mean, but "let's not think about this" has never worked out well for us. For example, most people are currently not thinking about what the moral worth of animals is, for much the same reason. Think of the horror if it turns out it's much higher than we thought!

Taboos always create their own catch-22 because you can't decide whether or not you should taboo something without thinking about it, and we can't think about it if it's taboo. I really think the assumption should be that taboos are pretty much *always* harmful.
