Charles Murray the author of the Bell Curve is a heretic too
A comment made 10 years ago is still costing him
I would have asked him to prove that he could explain his own sources…
I completely believe this! And erratic entitled behavior, and narcissism.
And lord knows science hasn’t evolved at all since then. Not one bit. I mean, you referenced phrenology earlier in this thread, that’s real science right? Oh wait…
The world is exactly the same at then. Well, except for:
satellites
computers
microchips
mobile phones
commercial lasers
driverless cars
rock music
rap music (fuck that)
the internet
…and every other bloody part of human existence.
But not science. Nope, thats still the same as 70 years ago.
Reality doesn’t come a la carte. You can’t pick and choose the parts you like.
The fact that there is non-genetic variance in IQ still allows group differences to be 100% genetic - & other traits
Suppose that the narrow-sense heritability of IQ is 0.7 [ in typical western circumstances: no ball-peen hammers), and the non-genetic variation is almost all caused by mysterious unshared-environment effects – not the school you go to or the books in the house, but something essentially random, like somatic mutation, or randomness in development.
Then while a big fraction of variance in IQ is caused by genetic differences, quite a bit is not.
But now look at the difference between two groups. It’s entirely possible that those random forces – somatic mutation, noise in development, etc – are close to the same in both groups.
If so, the difference in the averages of the two groups would be almost entirely genetic, since the non-genetic factors would average out.

I’d personally like to praise @anon50325502, @ActivitiesGuy, @lil.greggy, @Aragorn and @pfury for relentless determination in the face of extreme stupidity.

Boy your mouth must be tired after all that ball washing.
Your hands must be tired after peddling bullshit for over 500 posts. Get over it, your opinion is wrong.

You peddle with your feet.
Not entirely sure whether this is serious or not, you do have a tendency to say stupid things, i.e. this entire thread.
On the internet…
No, you pedal with your feet, Einstein. Swing and an epic miss.
Hilarious.

That made me laugh aloud. It’s like Ghostbusters, except more difficult!
EDIT–and @EyeDentist as well, who put in some very epic critiques

That’s the joke
Have you already forgotten that you agreed with the statement that ethnic brains are different?
You are just a delightful source of entertainment raj.

You like to make up things on whatever whim you desire. You also like to misread the links you post, and pretend to be an expert in fields where you can’t explain basic research.
Your opinions about what I should or should not believe mean exactly dick, as does your opinion on you think I did or did not say.
Also, in particular, I enjoyed the completely loony post in the “Pharma” thread where you said [quote=“therajraj, post:137, topic:229191”]
Surely if epigenetics is so magical a long-term study demonstrating that exercise and diet aren’t completely useless in fighting obesity would have been produced by now?
