Professional scientists and researchers are famous for spontaneously popping out of the aether like quantum foam, completely disconnected from any causality or prior state of being.

Scientist are merely born this way

Reactionaries genuinely believe this. They think IQ isn't a total meme, that it's the greatest indicator of a person's intellect. And of course, that some groups have higher IQ than others because of genetic superiority (IQ tests totally aren't rigged/biased). They use this to explain why Europeans "built civilization" while everyone else are all stupid savages (instead of Europeans having resources others did not that allowed them to kill everyone).
