Gizmo get back here
I mean, probably... it's a nice talking point if you have the stats on hand
Differential between brain volumes
Granted, when I talk about that I just talk about encephalization ratio of animals
Brain/body ratio
awww
That's it. Chapters 5 and 6 are what looked good to me
you may be interested
fuck is it?
Maybe
I'm reading some of the controversy surrounding it but
"...overall correlation of .30 of brain size to intelligence..."
lmao
That paper is single author though. J. Phillipe Rushton... I'll check and see if he's credible (or been shit on by the community)
Meh. Psychology is pretty shit so... I'm just gonna hold out for more from neurology, neuropsychology, and empirics
There's a lot of bias in this controversy so it's basically awash
@sydtko its regarding goulds criticism of psychometrics its written by a philosopher of science
I'm aware of quite a lot of the critiques but meh
this is a novel contribution not making the same arguments
Yeah, I see that it is recent, but I dunno if/when I'll read the whole paper
@Deleted User 6a019ab66177 why are you posting people?
Nice debunked book @sydtko
@Deleted User Gizmo was talking about it so I looked it up... I wouldn't say it's all debunked but yeah, he did not put forward a holistic or honest analysis without bias. Gould cherry picked and no doubt in my mind Charles Murray cherry picked
I was memeing tbh
But if was responded to
So...... that leaves me back in the skeptical boat
I believe brain size most likely will have some impact on your potential g-factor...
And you can isolate that by legit chopping up people's brains, but I don't think it's one of the more important factors
It was, yes...
By murrady and what's his name
There was a recent study claiming glial cells and lots of genes were important as well to g factor
Charles Murray and Richard Lynn?
They're both ... very biased
And most moronic race realists ignore that ***rolled into the definition of hereditary is your childhood upbringing*** and heavy elements of your SES
So if you were at all honest about the memes underlying genetics... you'd want equivalent SES to see how distinctions arise (socialism)
Equivalent material conditions aside genetics
