@sydtko I read the non phrenology parts of Stephen J. Gould's book on G factor where he uses linear algebra and vector spaces to show that the Charles Murray's thesis in Bell Curve doesn't survive a simple change of unit vector

oh shit, someone's unironically still doing phrenology <:pepeLMAO:644901342216847388>
No it's just a history book hammering them. But those parts looked irrelevant
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
That's it. Chapters 5 and 6 are what looked good to me

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
