People who wear glasses are more successful
but like a typical progressive, your entire shtick is to assume the progressive position as a default and to set the burden of proof for any opposing position so high it can't be met
People who part their hair in the middle instead of on the side
do you think the causal link between the way one parts their hair and income is as clear as the causal link between a measurement of one's ability to recognize patterns and apply reason and income?
Your argument is like the one that I used to hear about, if your second toe is longer than your big toe, you'll be the head of the household when you grow up
answer the question please
there's only one answer you can give if you're being honest
It's 100% as valid as IQ test scores
so you're dishonest
No, you just don't like me pointing out the flaw in your statistics
you're not pointing out a flaw
People who have tattoos are more successful
i mean, other than in the sense that the statistic taken by itself doesn't *necessarily* prove what i am saying it does
People who break a bone as a child are more successful
and again with the false equivalences
What's false about them?
because the potential causal link is not as clear with these variables
How are they less valid than your totally non-causal connections?
@Benjamin Henry please find some research if u want to convince June, otherwise ur gonna get nowhere
can you demonstrate a causal link between socioeconomic status and crime in the way that you are asking of me?
assume the progressive position as the default, and set the burden of proof for the opposing position so high it cannot ever be "proven"
very cliche routine!
Actually, yes. If you or your family has less money, it's just more likely you'll resort to other means to take care of yourself or them. Mazlow's hierarchy of needs
lmao
There's a direct causal relationship there
uh no there's not
you haven't proven this causal relationship exists
If you say so
you've just given me the equivalent of what i've given for the causal link between iq and income
No, I've given you a causal relationship. You only have correlation
but you haven't demonstrated this causal relationship exists
you've given a potential causal explanation
but you haven't proven that it's real
You have two things that could be decades apart
Also the chart that was linked controlled for that, right?
It was, yes
I didn't see IQ on that chart, btw
so all you have is an attempt to establish a causal relationship through reason? the exact same thing i did with iq and income?
No, not the same - because doing well on IQ tests, as I said, doesn't necessarily measure what you're claiming it measures
All it measures is how good you are at taking IQ tests
