You sound kind of like a leftist, but I'd still have a conversation with you
i actually think there are 2 kinds of IQ
one is genetic, and the other one is how you were raised from a young age, and they average out to your IQ
How do we know that proper nurture during the formative years of 0-4years doesn't impact IQ development?
Have we done studies about household structure and parenting styles?
(We haven't)
iq isn't a thing even
Improper nourishment can lead to lower iq
If that's what you mean
No it's not
there's many kinds of intelligence, you can't just quantify everything into one number
It just seems kind of silly to completely ignore something so important because it doesn't have as much research as you like
I mean being raised in a proper household with two parents, and a stay at home mother
That's like saying an economic debate is pointless because we don't have enough research to show which system is most functional
If that were true, yes
You're making a statement of fact, based upon little information, because it makes you feel better
O rly
generally system functionality on a national scale is called least worst at best, most functional isn't a thing either
So how much more does IQ need to be studied for you to be able to talk about it
@TwinVickers semantics
the test is largely logic based
yes, i love semantics
IQ and race doesn't effect you in the *slightest* in every day life. You literally have no reason to even discuss it, just like I don't have a reason to discuss 8D quasicrystalline quantum mechanics.
but there really isn't a best anything ever
Austrian free markets make a lot of logical sense but in practice it doesn't
there is, it just it depends on the criteria @TwinVickers
@Fitzydog how about my earlier point. Sub-Saharan Africans weren't able to create the wheel
@JohnStrasser I refuse to take anything the social sciences say as fact until they have been purged of lefitsts
Is that due to improper parenting?
IQ studies weren't done by leftists
yeah you can always attach qualifiers to anything
What studies? There haven't been any except for US military ASVAB tests
They also didn't have a written language
@TwinVickers Ricky Gervais has a new podcast? Link please
Also, I forget what alt right is too. It gets confusing. I think I share Alt Right views. But then people I watch consider themselves left of centre. Very confusing.
Also, I think outspoken Atheists are a bit weird. Like who cares that you don't believe in God. How important is that exactly.
@JohnStrasser I agree with your wheel comments. When I think of the western world I do view people as having the tools but just not using them. Myself included. I guess it's all on a spectrum.
a lot of the research people feel like more right leaning
it's on sirius fm, he uploads it personally to youtube
so i'm guessing youtube.com/rickygervais
to me atheists and vegans seem like jehova's witnesses
nice, i'll check it out twin
The wealth of IQ science everyone cites is based upon a very small, and fragile base of only 60 years of information, and even that is shaky at best due to external factors
We've barely scratched the surface of IQ science, and its realtion to sociology
I don't have studies on hand, but I really don't need them
