the more likely you are gonna develop mental illness

2019-05-02 00:52:34 UTC  

Einstein had huge short-term memory loss and needed a secretary to write down everything he wrote

2019-05-02 00:52:34 UTC  

Well if it's 70% genetic then the current difference in IQ couldn't be explained with environment

2019-05-02 00:52:45 UTC  

It would be largely genetic too

2019-05-02 00:52:57 UTC  

There's a threshold where too much IQ can be bad for you

2019-05-02 00:53:02 UTC  

probably because brain cant handle the 200 IQ

2019-05-02 00:53:03 UTC  

or w/e

2019-05-02 00:53:57 UTC  

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.

2019-05-02 00:54:18 UTC  

Skin color doesn't affect IQ at all.

2019-05-02 00:54:24 UTC  

Your brain doesn't develop extra melanin

2019-05-02 00:54:40 UTC  

Race is a bullshit category

2019-05-02 00:54:53 UTC  

No but some skin color are correlated with a smarter brain

2019-05-02 00:54:56 UTC  

that would be the claim

2019-05-02 00:55:02 UTC  

If you want to look at IQ and genes, look at ancestry.

2019-05-02 00:55:11 UTC  

@lemonsaw and certain political groups of people have higher IQ's

2019-05-02 00:55:13 UTC  

ironically

2019-05-02 00:55:18 UTC  

the only problem with extra melanin in your body

2019-05-02 00:55:19 UTC  

Libertarians have the highest IQ's

2019-05-02 00:55:20 UTC  

is a lack of vitamin D

2019-05-02 00:55:25 UTC  

>Libertarians have the highest IQ

2019-05-02 00:55:30 UTC  

What's the relevance?

2019-05-02 00:55:34 UTC  

and therefore the most mentally ill

2019-05-02 00:55:36 UTC  

It's a correlation

2019-05-02 00:55:40 UTC  

not a causation

2019-05-02 00:55:45 UTC  

Whats the relevance of race?

2019-05-02 00:55:46 UTC  

If that's even true

2019-05-02 00:55:57 UTC  

Well that's easy

2019-05-02 00:55:57 UTC  

GG @lemonsaw, you just advanced to level 2!

2019-05-02 00:55:58 UTC  

You can't attribute it to melanin even if its true.

2019-05-02 00:56:05 UTC  

Or whatever phenotypic traits you want.

2019-05-02 00:56:09 UTC  

Why do we have affirmative action then

2019-05-02 00:56:25 UTC  

We allow certain races to be prioritized in the education system

2019-05-02 00:56:27 UTC  

Because black people were disadvantaged in America on the basis of their race.

2019-05-02 00:56:36 UTC  

But if intelligence was based on genetics

2019-05-02 00:56:46 UTC  

Doesn't mean that it's a legitimate scientific category.

2019-05-02 00:56:47 UTC  

It can be

2019-05-02 00:56:48 UTC  

that would prove it's not caused by their disadvange

2019-05-02 00:56:59 UTC  

but by their genes

2019-05-02 00:57:00 UTC  

No you can have it be both enviromental

2019-05-02 00:57:04 UTC  

and genetic.

2019-05-02 00:57:04 UTC  

Yes
