if the twins have similar results in different environments, and that's broadly consistent across studies, then it must be heritable @BabygottBach

what else could be happening?

can you explain?

And you come in with a "maybe this or that" to counter actual positive data

`These are valid concerns – because genetics are rarely accounted for in sociological research on parental, neighborhood, and school influences on children, if genetic factors are related to shared environments and the outcomes, genetic confounding is a possibility. Because sociological and other social science research frequently concludes that these social environments are major determinants of educational prospects in early childhood (Alexander, et al., 2007, Fryer and Levitt, 2006, KewalRamani, et al., 2007), adolescence (Camara and Schmidt, 1999, Hedges and Nowell, 1999, Kobrin, et al., 2007) and beyond (Elman and O'Rand, 2004, Roscigno and Ainsworth-Darnell, 1999), it is important for sociological researchers to critically examine this literature to evaluate its conclusions.`

I don't care about naked theory

@Nerthulas it cant be the case that things could be heritable because that would be racist

@TheUserNameofPeace, have you actually looked into the sociological side?

therefore it must be something else

@BabygottBach yes

Or are you only familiar with the behavioral geneticist side?

I'm sorry you're majoring in sociology

Nice!

We're going to eliminate it

You've got no argument against the sociologists

@BabygottBach

Sociology has what 80 percent replication crisis

Lmao

Sociology has a huge body of evidence that IQ is social

@Deleted User, so does genetics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_heritability_problem

(((huge body of evidence)))

we've addressed this please stop posting it

that's dishonest

`The exponential fall in genome sequencing costs led to the use of GWAS studies which could simultaneously examine all candidate-genes in larger samples than the original finding, where the candidate-gene hits were found to almost always be false positives and only 2-6% replicate;[7][8][`

😄

Have you addressed this passage?

@BabygottBach

Epistasis is biologically real but generally insignificant for selection purposes
https://t.co/tPjSuuDw13?amp=1

The replicability of sociology was brought up

But genetics also has this problem

how can anyone possibly cope

Smart parents have better SES to pass to their kids because they are smart @BabygottBach Classic example that correlation does not equal causation

tapirs have the largest pecker

one for the hall of retard

GWAS was replaced with GCTA which found that the traits were highly polygenic @BabygottBach

so yes I've addressed it I think three times now

`Lewontin claims that equation (1′)(1′) above presents the most accurate picture of the contributions to phenotypic variance. He goes on to argue that VI,VG×EVI,VG×E and COV(G,E)COV(G,E) are not negligible. In fact, he argues that these are always part and parcel of the variance in traits. As a result, apportioning the phenotypic variance between genes and environment is no easy matter and standard analyses of variance simply cannot come up with useful and informative values for h2bhb2 and h2h2. `

soft science lol

Listen, yo. Maybe there are neuron elves which help on IQ tests in some environments and not others. So we've got to toss out all your highly correlated genetic IQ data.
