The testing shows they do whether it's genetic or not is a different discussion

no its not

and you know it

Show me anything that says on average blacks and asian and whites and latinos don't have average IQ differences

@Cantwell
Does IQ even matter lmao

Yes

why

It's the most stastically powerful construct in all of social science

what does IQ represent, and why does the flynn effect here doesn't apply here, how has IQ been influential in the past

It predicts everything to some degree in terms of income and life outcomes

you say it's "statistically powerful" in a field full of anti-empirical analysis

kind of funny you using that vapid argument

it isn't a empirical analysis, or even a statistical one as it has never been actually 100% fully correlated to a static body of data

it's why IQ so flawed as "STATISTICAL" analysis

it's a possible "measurement" not a way to analyze a group

What are you saying about the flynn effect?

@Cantwell it represents it's anti-empirical state.

it can't and isn't directly analyzing a static body of data *ever* and is never able to analyze it with other factors *ever*

it's why IQ is a joke in trying to prove "intelligence" in huge groups of people, whether they be litigated in a social, class, nation, or race level.

What do you think intelligence is?

there, that's another question it can't ask or even try to prove

its multifaceted and incredibly hard to define much less quantify

there are several different types of intelligence

What do you mean it can't ask?

emotional, interpersonal, logical, musical, bodily kinisthetic

Do you know what g is?

general intelligence yes

even so, there is no universally accepted way to quantify it

and what does that prove?

^ i kind of disagree with this too though.
I think it's generally useless to try to prove a measure of intelligence, trying to say "THERE CAN BE INTELLIGENCE ITS A TANGIBLE AND MEASURABLE THING" is a losing argument

you can't prove it

🤔

all this started because you said that black peoples lower intelligence contributes to poor behavior which leads to mistreatment during police interactions

and even thats a lie when you look at studies

@Cantwell what is intelligence in a person with various mental deficiencies

black people are several times more likely to be stopped and searched for example, despite being less likely to have contraband

It is the composite score of their different scores on various IQ subtests

@Cantwell no i'm asking you not in comparison with a regular population but instead in their ability to be "intelligent" in spite of those mental deficiencies

what is intelligence in that situation

It depends what mental defieincies you're talking about

why does it depend on them, they are mental deficiencies that make it harder to think, operate, and to retain information
