Sometimes scientists misrepresent their research in the abstract
Many times they SPECULATE in the abstract
They do that a lot
and you're free to disagree with their speculations
pretty much most research that the left uses does that
yeah
and natsocs
I'd say "far right" if it actually had meaning but I see the term as a meme
Then if I were to read that study, I'd disregard it and aknowledge the need for further more accurate studies. Because if they're misrepresenting in the abstract, hard to say if they did anything else accurately.
Founding Fathers were far right
fake news
Because you're not there overseeing their study so it's hard to tell. And many studies do come under scrutiny for inaccuracy or flaws
I had to do a research paper just recently on a study, and the study laid out flaws in past studies and they worked to improve the method in their own study to find more accurate results.
One other thing, I think calling this question "race and IQ" is very bad
and research on race and IQ in general wouldn't be the best
I think it would be bad for society as it would fuel racism among the less intelligent
I mean, I think it's better to only research genetics and IQ
While at the same time, I do think research is needed to understand our species better
well yes, but I think bringing race into it is largely unnecesarry
It WOULD be unnecessary if white people weren't blamed for the disparities in racial outcomes
but we are so it is a relevant political aspect
just research genetics in IQ would lead to aproximately the same outcome, but be much less racist and generalizing
There are many well known differences based on race which was found in credible scientific research
since was most people would make of a report saying that africans are genetically less intelligent would be: he is african, so he in unitelligent.
Not most people
But a lot, sure.
I would actually say most people
Because you cant see intelligence
but you can see race, or at least skin color
IQ testing as a psychological concept has withstood politically motivated attacks for more than a century
It's still used in diagnoses by licensed psychiatrists/psychologists
e.g. do you have ADD or are you retarded? We'll give you an IQ test
this is not my opinion it's a fact
IQ is correlated with important life outcomes beyond academic scores
like income, health (more intelligent people tend to be less obese), etc.
Please stop doing the tired bullshit about how intelligence is somehow impossible to define and therefore we can't measure it, it's really boring. Even if our definition or conception of intelligence is inadequate that wouldn't even imply that IQ tests are not predictive of extremely important life outcomes
And ofcourse, I am concerned what a lot of these race realists claim outside of their scientific arguments
Hey it's been fun but I gotta get my college work done today
Ok
But on the basis of this it seems to be easy to advocate for ethnostates and mass deportation
