show the direct link how
You have to show how being good at taking IQ tests somehow directly translates into making money
how
Are these people receiving money based on their IQ test performance?
you are just saying the same thing over and over again without elaborating on how one would show this
Yeah, because you can't. Economic success is so far downstream of taking an IQ test that you can't show that link
lol
Like I said, you might as well be saying that people who can recite the alphabet backwards are more economically successful
and the hand is shown
People who are good knife-throwers are more economically successful
People who wore shirt sizes too big for them in high school
anyone remember the movie "The Madness of King George" ? - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fgZvg7SR_DE
Nigel Hawthorne was great in this
Your argument doesn't follow
i don't think these variables are equivalent to iq in this regard
there's a clearer causal link once can deduce through reason with iq
They're exactly as valid as IQ tests
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?
(no)
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
