That point was about that high IQ people not having a good understanding of how low IQ people will respond to their preferred policies, while low IQ people have a very good idea of how others like them will respond. High intelligence isn’t magic, one still needs to have information. Cognitive stratification is a very real and growing trend. If one is an outlier among one’s friends one is very likely to change their opinion to match theirs.
To see how this has played out consider some of the social policies implemented in the past 40 years that where favoured by those with high IQ. They seem to remarkably often result in very little social pathology for those with high IQ, but quite a bit for those with low IQ. A great example of this is the sexual revolution.
I’m not sure I understand your argument.
