but looking at a diverse selection of tens of thousands of participants is pretty strong

2017-03-31 01:24:16 UTC  

that's not really the question.

2017-03-31 01:24:17 UTC  

imo

2017-03-31 01:24:34 UTC  

why those number were calculated to begin with is the real question 😉

2017-03-31 01:24:47 UTC  

really ?

2017-03-31 01:25:28 UTC  

plus IQ doesn't determine one's intellect if you want to go that way

2017-03-31 01:25:39 UTC  

I hope you don't do this to every study you disagree with

2017-03-31 01:26:10 UTC  

it only really test the speed at which you solve "simple" problems

2017-03-31 01:26:36 UTC  

I don't, I tend to stay critical, even though I could agree with the study

2017-03-31 01:26:49 UTC  

Correct, studies also show basic behaviour is genetic as well though

2017-03-31 01:27:33 UTC  

basic personality types aren't learned mostly, but inherited. There was a landmark study done in America where they compared adopted children to their biological and adopted parents

2017-03-31 01:27:58 UTC  

99% or more showed stronger correlations with their actual parents based on intelligent and life experiences

2017-03-31 01:28:04 UTC  

very interesting

2017-03-31 01:28:06 UTC  

yes, it has to do with epigenetic for the most part

2017-03-31 01:28:12 UTC  

as, how one was educated

2017-03-31 01:28:37 UTC  

epigentics is externalities "activating" genes

2017-03-31 01:28:52 UTC  

so like, yeah, if you had the power o be super intelligent

2017-03-31 01:28:58 UTC  

but never went to school

2017-03-31 01:29:09 UTC  

you'd likely not have a great potentiality to unlock your potential

2017-03-31 01:29:10 UTC  

yup

2017-03-31 01:29:21 UTC  

but that intelligent gene is physiological, not learned

2017-03-31 01:29:21 UTC  

to stay simple, it's pretty much that yes

2017-03-31 01:30:28 UTC  

I doubt there's a gene for "intelligence" though, no matter what kind of test you agree with that determine the said intellect level

2017-03-31 01:30:31 UTC  

so if a majority of your character is determined by a preset trait sheet inherited by your parents, how doth "race" not come into this?

2017-03-31 01:30:46 UTC  

Also yeah you're correct

2017-03-31 01:30:51 UTC  

intelligence is a number of things

2017-03-31 01:30:59 UTC  

ranging from abstract thought, logic, etc

2017-03-31 01:31:36 UTC  

there's several other factors that can make someone intelligent

2017-03-31 01:31:43 UTC  

curiosity, motivations, etc

2017-03-31 01:32:01 UTC  

also inherited traits

2017-03-31 01:32:42 UTC  

yes, but all in all, every single one of those traits doesn't warrant a notion of race for me

2017-03-31 01:33:04 UTC  

ethnical genes are a thing

2017-03-31 01:33:07 UTC  

So you occupy that position due to more morality?

2017-03-31 01:33:51 UTC  

not really morality, but you could always see too people of the same ethical group with completly different traits

2017-03-31 01:34:08 UTC  

Ye, I see everyone as individuals

2017-03-31 01:34:24 UTC  

but I also see everyone as organisms as well

2017-03-31 01:34:33 UTC  

I rate based on values

2017-03-31 01:34:43 UTC  

trust me I'm not a crazy person

2017-03-31 01:34:48 UTC  

who hates black people

2017-03-31 01:35:17 UTC  

well, people hating on other ethincal groups aren't crazy but uneducated imho

2017-03-31 01:35:42 UTC  

correct, though tribalism is unfortunately a natural inclination
