a friend of mine is studying genetics
if you don't control for the mother, what happens when she does damage to the developing child.
or the environment does
not exactly, as soon as the genetic material is combined the theoretical maximum IQ could be calculated, asuming perfect knowledge
have they accounted for this?
you mean the adoptive mother?
not the genetic one?
no
accounted for the effect of environment on the development of the children while in the womb
i doubt alcohol and paint chips are good for the IQ of a developing fetus
it was the same environment, on the same genetics, before they have had a chance to experience different stimuli, so they are effectivly nurtured equally till birth
grenade they control for the mother
okay
if they are social scientists worth their salt they would control for anything they can afford to control for
that oversight is not lost on people whove dedicated 10+ years of their lives in order to come up with this kind of data
lets see, there was the thingy about "show me the gene"
regardless of wether or not you even know what genes are, you can predict something that functions like genes exist based on reproduction results
hold on, let me finish on my previous point before you pivot
aite sure
Cytos you still failed to see my point. So let me phrase it this way. Take 2 twin pregnancies. One of a higher IQ mother, and one of a Lower IQ mother, now, hypothetically, take these 2 pregnancies and run them through 2 different timelines. One in which both mothers receive the best healthcare throughout the pregnancy, one in which they both drink. If there is a genetic component, then in both of those tests, the higher should, on average, remain higher, and the lower remain lower.
well not literally as that would involve multi dimentional observation and we are not quitte there yet i am afraid
however, on average if you have 2 similar IQ mothers and one drinks while pregnant the baby will have a lower IQ then the one where the mother does not drink while pregnant, on average
assuming they drink the same amount if you compare 2 sets of 2 mothers with similar IQs
where set A has 100IQ both but one drinks
and set B has a 110IQ both, but one drinks
if you compare these enough times, and they drink the same amount, on average the baby with the 110IQ parent will be on top in both the non drinking IQ comparison, and the only drinking IQ comparison
on average
as fetal alcohol syndrome is pretty well established at this point
thanks ireland!
I wonder if there's an ideology that advocates for a high IQ ethnostate
yes
the IQnostate is a well estabished thought experiment amoungst the alt right
it would calculate a worthyness of entrance based on your current IQ and your estimated IQ offspring using the regression to the mean phenomenon
(regression to the mean means that even though you might be exceptional in a specific area, like for example IQ but not ONLY IQ, you will not guarantee pass that on to your child, as there is the other partners genes to consider)
high iq ethnostate is the most common behavural trait based ethnostate
this means that if for example a very tall person is more likely then a averagely tall person to have a taller child
but lets say he is exceptionally tall
the odds that his child is exceptionally tall too is higher, but much more likely it will be better then average, but not as exceptionally so
this is because you pass on and posses genes not expressed in you that might be expressed in your offspring, as well as your child not being your exact same genetic materia
unless you be clonin'
but even still then
