You should have sent those in DMs

*smugly laughs*

Now you’re gonna get celled for sharing cells convos lol

Why? There isn’t a rule against it

Weez literally got banned for it bro

Wait, really?

I think it's a Discord rule?

@snake Delete it before they see

Gah, whatever

No use unfortunately

Which part did you think is pseudoscience though? @Muzical

Whole thing

Weez was a troublemaker however, so you should just get off with a wrist slap if you are to be celled

The IQ drop is literally documented, you can read the paper if you want

It's not even universally accepted that IQ is a valid measure of anything.

Maybe he doesn’t believe in IQ.

I'm a she...

Ah, there we go.

NO EGIRLS

IQ is a good measure of a lot of things tho

🙄

I recommend you this article: https://thealternativehypothesis.org/index.php/2016/04/15/the-validity-of-iq/

Ford, you deal with the femoid.

Because the internet isn't chock-full to bursting of high-IQ people who are total idiots and wear the number like a shield.

Oh those people are lying

I'm talking about documented statistical evidence, not self professed IQ scores

Don’t believe people who say that shit

IQ is the best proxy for the g factor

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/G_factor_(psychometrics)

What we're really interested in is the g factor

g can be roughly said to be the "innate problem solving ability" of a person, which is the underlying basis for "intelligence"

Different subtests of the IQ test have different g loadings, as illustrated in the following

A test with higher g loading correlates with other test taking ability in a cognitively complex task. For instance, if you score high on, say, backward digit span, you are more likely to score high on another test with a high g loading etc.

Whereas tests with lower g loading are more malleable

This is why it is significant that the lowering of IQ scores is genotypic, since that means if you placed people from 1890s USA and raised them from birth in today's environment, they'dd have a 14 point higher IQ, on average, than today's people

The above rise in IQ is mainly in subtests with high g loading

While the nominal rise in IQ from Flynn Effect is in subtests with low g loading
