The Sort

A socioeconomic phenomenon where highly intelligent and educated individuals are increasingly funneled into high-paying jobs, while those with less education or intelligence are "sorted" into lower-paying roles. This process amplifies class divides and concentrates wealth and opportunity among a cognitive and academic elite.

The term is often used on Tech Twitter/TPOT/the Tech Right.

Also called "the Great Sort", or "the Great Sorting"
I know the Sort happened but its nice to imagine a world where lots of manual laborers have 115+ IQs

YOUR GOD, YOU FUCKING IDIOT! GODDAMN! YOURS! NUMBERS, DEUTERONOMY, JUDGES!
Hym "What sort of God would make you kill kids? The Christian one does that all the time! Sometimes he kills them himself! How many people died in the flood? All of them? Yours! That one! Literally every kid that dies of cancer or disease is the victim of God's eternal maiming of humanity."
