A report from Science Daily claims a direct correlation between the health of blood vessels in the retina and a person's IQ and cognitive function. The hosts link this to the potential for future biometric surveillance, where retinal scans could be used to categorize individuals by intelligence or health risk. They view this as another step toward a "technocratic" control system.
