3IQ is cosmetic

2019-09-21 22:23:25 UTC  

brilliant

2019-09-21 22:23:28 UTC  

goodbye

2019-09-21 22:23:41 UTC  

Cosmetic means they are not passed down to progeny

2019-09-21 22:23:51 UTC  

Look up Spearman's Hypothesis

2019-09-21 22:24:17 UTC  

So again, you'll end up with the Philosophical problem known as Fisherman's Bait

2019-09-21 22:24:31 UTC  

Wherein you'll have to continuously aid them for many years

2019-09-21 22:25:05 UTC  

This is why even progeny of high IQ immigrants regress to the racial mean

2019-09-21 22:25:50 UTC  

Because whatever changes they receive from controlling environmental factors are "hollow for g"

2019-09-21 22:26:47 UTC  

In other words, only their skill is increasing, not general intelligence

2019-09-21 22:27:18 UTC  

IQ can also be trained by practicing the thought patterns that are required to achieve higher scores in IQ tests

"Relational skill" is not to be mistaken with social skills, it just means stuff like if A > B then B < A etc.

2019-09-21 22:28:35 UTC  

Which subtests did they use?

2019-09-21 22:29:02 UTC  

idk, I haven't purchased the paper

2019-09-21 22:29:03 UTC  

It is of course possible to "train" for low heritability subtests, as it is possible to train to use Photoshop

2019-09-21 22:29:21 UTC  

But the main point about IQ tests are high heritability subtests

2019-09-21 22:29:30 UTC  

i was watching the clip from People's Veto , seems very interesting

2019-09-21 22:30:03 UTC  

Which are the main source for infering about g factor and, in turn, racial gaps

2019-09-21 22:30:03 UTC  

The point is just that IQ is a mixture of genetics, environment and training

2019-09-21 22:30:14 UTC  

No shit

2019-09-21 22:30:31 UTC  

Congrats on finding something apriori

2019-09-21 22:30:35 UTC  

Yeah but people who say that genetics is number one lack the evidence for that, that's why I'm saying this

2019-09-21 22:30:37 UTC  

That no one here contested

2019-09-21 22:30:49 UTC  

Well when someone says 80% is genetics, they do kinda contest it

2019-09-21 22:30:54 UTC  

and since we cant change genetics, and we dont need everyone to be equal in IQ at 130 or some shit....

2019-09-21 22:31:03 UTC  
2019-09-21 22:31:10 UTC  

Because that number is nonsense

2019-09-21 22:31:11 UTC  

What do you think the rest 20% is?

2019-09-21 22:31:15 UTC  

It isn't

2019-09-21 22:31:36 UTC  

It's all inferred from research

2019-09-21 22:31:58 UTC  

There's a lot of research to the contrary, you can choose to believe that number is accurate, but it makes no sense to believe that

2019-09-21 22:32:20 UTC  

LMAO

2019-09-21 22:32:35 UTC  

Do you even read before you post nonsense

2019-09-21 22:32:40 UTC  

?

2019-09-21 22:32:54 UTC  

It of course "makes sense" as far as the data indicates it does

2019-09-21 22:33:14 UTC  

And of course there exist many studies

2019-09-21 22:33:20 UTC  

Hence you take a meta analysis

2019-09-21 22:33:23 UTC  

Only if you select your data specifically to support the 80%

2019-09-21 22:33:23 UTC  

Not a single study

2019-09-21 22:33:36 UTC  

Have you read the numbers from the link I posted?
