Guys look, the problem is not that IQ is not genetic, but how can you prove that its 80% genetic

Anyway. Everything I said above should be a strong support FOR meritocracy and not against it.

Aaaaarrrgh i was playing diablo immortal alpha, why tag gamers!!!!

Sounds insanely high to me

Sad thing is that I'm legally obliged to say that the Jews were killed in Gas Chambers....

It's not gaming related and I was not in the convo. Misusing tags. @¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Studies like these primarily make statements about large numbers. Outliers exist. But, those data sets also often times have standard deviations.

Err ... wait, variability.

But that's not true @Undead Mockingbird if someone is genetically certain to be less becuase of iq

it's still violence :^)

Wait, what's the statistical term?

We need to help them

Oh, variance!

Yeah because how dare I be sleeping

But if you think they can be equal no matter what

@¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i love being brutaly silent

words aren't violence @¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Then you dont

Depends on the Words if they are violence or not.

The correlation between IQ and school grades is only .5, for example.

@Cody wait why?
why you think everything needs to be equal?

It has a variance of 25%.

What the crud are you guys even talking about

Saying things that predict one person harming another, it is violence.

They need to have the same opportunity to get places

So, there are certainly many social situations where IQ is not a good predictor for performance.

JBP disagrees with the IQ thingy....

@Jasse Its not about poeple needing to be equal its about not blaming skin tone on shit

"Some measures of educational aptitude correlate highly with IQ tests – for instance, Frey and Detterman (2004) reported a correlation of 0.82 between g (general intelligence factor) and SAT scores;[108] another research found a correlation of 0.81 between g and GCSE scores, with the explained variance ranging "from 58.6% in Mathematics and 48% in English to 18.1% in Art and Design".[109]"

If they are not equal genetically and you support meritocracy then you support raise one group up and lowering another

well, at least that you need a certain minimum amount so that you might be sucessful.

@Cody they have same opportunitys?

but if you start to discriminate smarter people they will have lesser opportunitys.

I was pinged here, you better clue me in wise guys

@DanteMenace when did i blame skin tone?
race is way more than just skin tone.

@Jasse yet again when you say smart people you are saying white poeple

I see people really love mass Pinging 😄

You can have equal opportunity if one group is genetically less

@DanteMenace stop strawman. lel

So why believe in someone so vile if you want meritocracy

@Jasse Then what do you mean and thats not a straw man
