except you dont realize
that the higher your IQ is
the more likely you are gonna develop mental illness
Einstein had huge short-term memory loss and needed a secretary to write down everything he wrote
Well if it's 70% genetic then the current difference in IQ couldn't be explained with environment
It would be largely genetic too
There's a threshold where too much IQ can be bad for you
probably because brain cant handle the 200 IQ
or w/e
Totally. However, how much of that 70% is directly from you being black or white? What effect does your ethnicity have on your genetic intelligence. Zero research on this.
People will take the fact that genetics account for about 70% of IQ and then run off with it throwing out statements with zero context.
Skin color doesn't affect IQ at all.
Your brain doesn't develop extra melanin
Race is a bullshit category
No but some skin color are correlated with a smarter brain
that would be the claim
If you want to look at IQ and genes, look at ancestry.
@lemonsaw and certain political groups of people have higher IQ's
ironically
the only problem with extra melanin in your body
Libertarians have the highest IQ's
>Libertarians have the highest IQ
What's the relevance?
and therefore the most mentally ill
It's a correlation
not a causation
Whats the relevance of race?
If that's even true
Well that's easy
You can't attribute it to melanin even if its true.
Or whatever phenotypic traits you want.
Why do we have affirmative action then
We allow certain races to be prioritized in the education system
Because black people were disadvantaged in America on the basis of their race.
But if intelligence was based on genetics
Doesn't mean that it's a legitimate scientific category.
It can be
that would prove it's not caused by their disadvange
but by their genes
No you can have it be both enviromental
