I thought my criteria were pretty clear. It may be possible for there to be some technology which poses an existential threat to humanity, but does so in such a subtle way that the creators don’t notice it, but we obviously haven’t seen any examples of that yet.

Some are black and white. To the wise it is all black and white.
 
The problem with IQ testing is that it is an inexact science that falls foul in varying degrees to such as gender, cultural and social considerations

I’m not making ‘excuses’ for myself, since if anything such tests tend to favour my gender and ethnic group. I am also very happy with my score, but do treat it with some circumspection.

What is it they say about lies and statistics!

What if it were true that an ethnic or race was more intelligent by a few standard deviations from another? Some would use this info to discriminate and hate. Some would say it is irrelevant to respect of a human being.
