Well it's easy for agenda pushers on either side to twist the findings around

Beyond that, there's still a myriad of issues with IQ itself

Most of the objections are trivial or political

Many critics argue for even worse things than IQ

IQ is *currently* the best we have

not really

it neglects so many factors and other forms of intelligence

Also, to your credit, from what I read while it did find on average that their incomes were higher, the difference was certainly noticeable but non substantial since they pursued normal occupations @SilverLining

Those other forms of intelligence have lower predictive power than IQ

in general*

that's what I was trying to point out, more or less

that there was a negligible impact

I didn't gather that the impact was negligible

just that it wasn't as great as predicted

two different things

relatively minimal, at any rate

which in coordination with the vast number of surpassing outliers

To your arbitrary standard

That wasn't what I gathered, but let's move on

means that one shouldn't base any policies upon IQ

anyhow

beyond the test

and I'm sure you probably read this when reading the study...

IQ correlates heavily to nutrition and education...

or just socioeconomic background in general

Those things have truth to them, but the extent to which they impact it are pretty debatable

to an incredibly large extent

why am I arguing this at 2 am

I'm gonna go to sleep

good night

I mean

so like what are our thoughts on the swedish election

guessing a social dem-green-left coalition

I've already outlined the coalitions. its the social democrats and greens against every other party

i’m not an expert on swedish politics but i would assume there would at least be one or two parties other than the greens willing to help in a coalition to stop the sweden democrats getting into power

@ham addition not likely to happen

About the same odds that CDU and AfD will form a peaceful coalition

alright what’s your prediction then

as far as IQ goes, most of it has to do with nutrition i the neonatal period of life, where lack of calories is devestating, later it becomes less noticable, and eventually in adulthood you cant really modify your IQ that much with just nutrition, if at all.

and I have still no idea who we should hope for in sweden however as far as anything goes

False
