@Sarguns why do Indians in the US outperform Indians in India by as much as 40 IQ points, surpassing whites?

if you have a theory that a causes b, then you can do an experiment looking for a correlation. If a isn't correlated with b, you've just disproved the theory. Whereas if it is correlated, it's not what the nil hypothesis would have predicted. It's evidence for causation.

Furthermore posting pictures of spurious correlations is just stupid. Spurious corrlations are an entirely different thing. If you have a million variables, some of them will correlate just by random chance. Scientists control for this with significance testing. Especially if you have little data. Also they are using time series data which makes this more likely for complicated reasons.

If genetics matters so much to final IQ

@bakeon because we only let high IQ indians into the US

the immigration system is super selective

mostly only skilled tech workers with above average IQs get in

You know what?

There's no correlation between race and IQ

Go back to e previous conversation

70% of Indians in the US are second generation which negates your argument, their IQ is still higher without being selected

About God and stuff

How about we let everyone in, but only those who pledge service can be citizens?

(also a great deal of programmers complain that indian programmers are terrible)

Well it's over now @Fulcrum010, God debunked.

Unironically

@bakeon because second generation indians are the children of high IQ first generation indians. And IQ is at least 80% heritable.

Here comes the heritability paper that no one understands

Fuck it

I'm going to sleep

That's entirely economic

what does that even mean

And I blame you @radeon and you @DanielKO

Race is a socio-political construct with no biological basis.

Indians who can afford to live in the US can likely also afford higher quality education

Next time, get a room and a pack of condoms

@radeon Just because you are okay with freeloaders on the system who don't give back to their community or contribute to it's wellbeing, doesn't mean that's the popular opinion.

It doesn't mean their children are genetically smarter, it just doesn't work that way

Yes and the same people that say "race is a social construct" also say that "sex is a social construct" and everything else is a social construct. Mountains of evidence contradict these nonsense claims

You can't suddenly skip 40 I points in a generation

Race as a concept is flawed

@Sarguns And that's why we don't cite social studies statistics

This is where the concept of race comes from.

Races are fairly arbitrary and impercise, leading to retards arguing about if Slavs are white etc

You guys want to talk about race?
Fine, who's a F1 fan here?

SAT correlates with IQ as well as IQ tests correlate with other IQ tests

@Fulcrum010 I like NASCAR, son

The truth is there is no such thing, there are only ethnic groups

@radeon Sp is lactose intelerance a social construct?

no one considers "jews" a real race, yet they still have 11 IQ points or more higher than whites

As a white man, you can have more genetic similarity to an Asian man halfway across the world than another white man.
