GoKawiilEssay revisits Asimov's rejection of Mensa's elitist high-IQ culture
A blog post recalls Isaac Asimov's own account, from his 1994 memoir, of why he distanced himself from Mensa and similar high-IQ societies, quoting his observation that many members viewed themselves as a superior group destined to rule and leaned toward right-wing views he rejected. The piece also cites Philip Klass's discomfort with John Campbell Jr.'s racialized remarks and Asimov's public stance against racial or religious nationalism during a debate with Elie Wiesel.
