he said it in general

2018-11-07 09:50:29 UTC  

And on average "my group" is less intelligent than East Asians.

2018-11-07 09:50:32 UTC  

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

2018-11-07 09:50:33 UTC  

Stupid, no less intelligent

2018-11-07 09:50:35 UTC  

not all. as i said befor its called bell curve

2018-11-07 09:50:36 UTC  

that doesn't mean you can't find a black guy with high IQ

2018-11-07 09:50:40 UTC  

Downright stupid?

2018-11-07 09:50:50 UTC  

I don't know how to define that. Give me a number on the IQ scale.

2018-11-07 09:51:02 UTC  

Exactly

2018-11-07 09:51:09 UTC  

I'd probably say 85.

2018-11-07 09:51:11 UTC  

yeah but if you put black people in a home that has a "white up bringing" they will be 5-20 points higher pointing them at the same points of whites

2018-11-07 09:51:20 UTC  

Especially since IQ does not = intelligence

2018-11-07 09:51:27 UTC  

12 IQ points are one standard deviation.

2018-11-07 09:51:32 UTC  

so maybe white upbringing makes white kids smart

2018-11-07 09:51:42 UTC  

One of my cousins is down right retarded if judges by iq

2018-11-07 09:51:44 UTC  

and asian upbringing makes kids even smarter

2018-11-07 09:51:56 UTC  

But can fix and build pretty much whatever you ask him too

2018-11-07 09:51:58 UTC  

68% of a bell curve is within one standard deviation of the mean.

2018-11-07 09:52:21 UTC  

it's just like saying that there's more intelligent men than women. Which is true, given that women have less variance on IQ. (of course, that also means there's more dumb men than women too)

2018-11-07 09:52:53 UTC  

I would say that about 15% are "stupid", i.e. more than one standard deviation below mean.

2018-11-07 09:53:59 UTC  

Sorry, one standard deviation is 15, not 12.

2018-11-07 09:54:36 UTC  

That is why I must have been thinking of 85.

2018-11-07 09:54:39 UTC  

IQ is hardly a tool to judge intelligence

2018-11-07 09:54:49 UTC  

It's actually the best tool we have.

2018-11-07 09:55:00 UTC  

I'm gonna save that quote

2018-11-07 09:55:01 UTC  
2018-11-07 09:55:03 UTC  

Again I got a cousin who would score 20 on an IQ test, but can build pretty much anything

2018-11-07 09:55:10 UTC  

it will be useful in the future

2018-11-07 09:55:32 UTC

2018-11-07 09:56:17 UTC  

Usually the G factor in the IQ is very predictive, to about the same degree for the skills we know it predicts.

2018-11-07 09:56:51 UTC  

So, it is rare to see that two people that both have about the same IQ score very differently on the language and/or math portion of the test.

2018-11-07 09:57:11 UTC  

It does happen, though, that the distribution is a bit different, so the sub scores differ.

2018-11-07 09:57:51 UTC  

So, maybe the skill distribution is a bit different in rare cases, but in general it applies

2018-11-07 09:58:11 UTC  

I dont see how?

2018-11-07 09:58:30 UTC  

Math and language dont get you money

2018-11-07 09:58:32 UTC  

Well, by measuring large numbers of people.

2018-11-07 09:58:43 UTC  

To the tune of millions that have been tested.

2018-11-07 09:58:53 UTC  

Wait, money?

2018-11-07 09:59:00 UTC  

Why are we talking about money now?
