Here are some policy recommendations which would not be very PC:

(Disclaimer: I endorse only a few of these views. See this comment )

  1. Only folks with above IQ 100 should be allowed to vote.
  2. People with high IQ should get money for having more children, dumb people for having less (I'm from Germany and here everybody gets money for having children. Don't know if that's true in the US.)
  3. Africans have (on average) low IQ scores and low conscientiousness. Therefore international aid is hopeless and we should stop it.
  4. Slavery, organ donations and sexual services for all ages should be legal if both parties give informed consent.
  5. The male variance in IQ is greater than that for females which explains why most nobel prize winners, CEOs etc. are men. Therefore we should stop pointless countermeasures. (Men are also more ambitious, aggressive and psychopathic which seems also relevant)
  6. Same for affirmative action.
  7. We should exterminate ourselves because antinatalism is true.

Some of these examples seem rather mindkilling, but nonetheless interesting :-)

Sort of. Children and other dependents give you tax breaks in the US, but no direct financial aid unless you qualify for certain limited welfare programs. That's at the federal level; some states might expand on that, but I can't speak for all of them.
