there's plenty of smart criminals. They have a capacity for violence and they have a high IQ

A lot of the epigenetics stuff is bullshit

but in anycase

thats generally the part that ppl talk about when they say its a mix of nurture/nature

ofc it's both

but to pretend like genetics has no part is stupid

No one would bat an eye that you can't increase some Downy's IQ

strawman bro, no one here has said that

we all know genes play a role

yet somehow people wanna argue with it

just because they dont think 100%, doesnt mean they think 0%

Nobody thinks 100%

But across populations if you act like this isn't factually true you're just being dishonest.

act like what isnt factually true?

or which part isnt factually true?

ah

He's arguing you can increas IQ

which is just not true

and in general people have an IQ close to their parents

and if their parents are on the extremes

Idk I'd say maybe 20% of behavior is genetic, the rest may seem genetic because you bond with your genetic relatives in your formative years

then they start to regress towards the mean

these are things we have lots of data on

well theres that category of crystal iq, which is the amount of knowledge you have compared to your cohorts.

i suppose you could increas that

@Purple look up the Big five personality traits and genetics. It's more like 40% on the low end

but thats only one small part

which is what you get when people have 10 pts their first year after graduating school

but most of those numbers are correlates from SAT and GRE/LSAT

not actual IQ tests

so taking a correlate of a correlate of a correlate

but still

pretty much

and, when tested even 2 years later

those gains are shown to have disappearted

Hm.

sure, like how ppl forget calculus from highschool.

"calculus"

If you can raise G, thent he adopted kids given to high IQ families would be closer to those IQs than to their biological parents

but guess what it was closer to?

So the ideal future of the human race is to cross breed so much we become some sort of gray homogenous blob that has no means of being racist because races don't exist
