it hasn't but it has been promoted as a predictor of success in education, work and life. The Bell Curve famously claimed that higher IQ people were more likely to finish education, stay in work, stay out of prison and stay married.

Same business model of every tech startups of the late 20 years - use investor cash to pull through years of making no money until you either crash & burn or eliminate all traditional competition and can start charging customers bullshit prices

I was an infrequent commenter at the old place (u/yawaster), usually when I got really annoyed about something TESCREAL related. I will probably also be an infrequent commenter here but I still need an occasional outlet for my sneer. Fair play for actually setting up an escape raft from Reddit rather than slinking back, the future of the useable/bearable web depends on people putting their money where their mouth is.
If anything, this is an example of a situation in which talking to the cops is actually your best option. If he'd sullenly plead the 5th there's a good chance they'd have arrested him properly and maybe even charged him, causing him to miss his flight.
I can admit this sounds like a fairly unpleasant experience, but airports are high security, unpleasant environments. I'm still not sure how someone could accidentally take a tip jar despite paying with card. Did he black out for 30 seconds?
"It’s like: my accusers arrive on the scene committed to a specific, hostile theory of me: that I’m a petty thief of smoothie bars, let’s say, or a sexual-harassment-loving misogynist."
But he did take the smoothie bar money. He might not have realized he was doing it, he might not have done it on purpose, but he did take the money. In this metaphor, he commits sexual harrassment but it's ok because he's too gormless to realize what he's doing.
