@Butternuggetz that is extremely outdated race science and is not taken seriously by any geneticist or member of the medical community

Imma just put this here

@AETA True, though if you knew literally NOTHING else about the surgeons, you'd probably pick the one with the higher IQ to do your surgery, right?

That said, @abby_ella is absolutely right that increasing education - ESPECIALLY for populations that are struggling in that regard (minorities, or women as is the case in many countries)

is THE way to fix these problems.

Yes I would

AVE, do you need something?

Ave has the big gay

Guys all races are bad except for whites come on now it's simple math

math

I'm Jewish anything for me?

🥺

I dont mean to be a cringe

Had to delete if you saw that

I realized I didn't want to argue

@Deleted User I'm not argumentative like that

Now that is cringe

*Circumsizes* @Deleted User

You are a mohel?

@Dr.Cosby affirmative action in medical schools is bad

@Deleted User possibly, except in that there is a certain need in the population for doctors of different races and backgrounds

For example, many black patients may prefer black doctors

Hm

So there is a need that needs filling

I've never heard that argument and that is true

Doctor ethnic matching is good for outcomes

I agree that personal achievement should be the number one criteria

I would say that differences in IQ trump that effect tho

Among other traits

And they aren't necessarily genetic lol

IQ is fairly limited - sure, if the only thing you know about two surgeons was their IQ, you'd probably pick the only with higher IQ

Well that's not the argument

But many other factors are more important (experience, success rate, education, residency, etc)

The argument is that iq yields higher job performance

Even when you control for those things

Depending on the job, perhaps

Especially so for complex jobs like medicine lol

If your IQ is too high, you're going to be too demoralized for certain kinds of manual labor, for example
