"The question of whether humans are even capable of response to pheromones looks increasingly to have the answer of "Yes". This of course creates all sorts of possibilities for the future. But it also brings up some interesting issues about individual rights and free will."

This is an excellent paper about intelligence researchers and the consequences of their findings. It starts out discussing the hostility, constraints, and outright oppression that scientists studying IQ have faced for the last ~50 years. It then points out some of the ongoing costs to society in general of ignoring their results. Finally, it illustrates some of the inhumane consequences suffered by the less intelligent in particular when they are assumed to be smarter than they really are. One example she uses is the appalling fraction of patients who do not follow the instructions of their physicians--not because they are stubborn, but because they never understood the instructions in the first place. I recommend this paper highly to those who question the utility of IQ.
