If they tell you, "you will avoid execution if you score below 65" would it be easy for a neurotypical person to purposefully fail it? Like, what's to stop your run of the mill murder from purposefully bombing the IQ test?

This sounds like me right now… and any parent of young children. It’s probably super common if you consider all the moms/dads out there dealing with multiple wakeups a night.

I feel like this is already the case for most grad students :( When I did my PhD there were a ton of students who came from well-off families (had gone to private universities without taking on any debt). Students’ parents were helping with rent, car payments, phone bills etc. There were also a disproportionate number of students whose parents also were professors. It takes a lot of support to put your life and savings and retirement on hold for 6+ years (and for often times abysmal job prospects). The whole thing is stacked against people from poorer backgrounds who can’t take those kinds of risks.

I don’t understand how that works though... if everyone gets 1000 a month extra as UBI, won’t rent automatically go up? Genuinely asking how something like UBI doesn’t result in a proportionate rise in cost of living
