I didn't see it being presented here as a replacement for IQ, but as a different idea altogether.
It's a total scam to justify liberal bullshit. If you fall for "think of the children" you're not retarded, you're "emotionally intelligent."
Then it means the opposite than what I thought. Because you are emotionally retarded if you let the BS sway you.
They were pushing EQ in social engineering and ogranizational behaviour courses in the mid-late 2000s. It's garbage based on nothing. It's part of tolerance and having no standards and not basing things on merit but on emotionally driven propaganda.
Ah okay.
Reading this, I took it as people being able to remove their emotionality on the subject and think only rationally about it. Seemed like a good thing to me.
