I don’t know. I am pretty skeptical and mainly posed the question for OP to think through the practical implications of intellectuals using IQ for status allocation.
I tried phrasing the post as a description of a social dynamic, not as a prescription of any particular policy. Apparently multiple people interpreted it normatively, so I should probably amend the post in some way to make it clearer that it is intended to be purely descriptive.
Reflecting a bit, my motivation wasn’t as pure as I’d like, and some cryptonormative language did slip into the post. I will try harder in the future to avoid this.
How would that even work?

Ah, that clears things up.
