Talk about IQ is obviously an uncomfortable one. As a number of people may know, Sam Harris not that long back interviewed Charles Murray which he got a lot of flack for. In another podcast he mentioned that a lot of the people criticising him for interviewing Charles Murray would stop at the notion that intelligence is highly heritable. Here's the thing, this is the least contested part. Most scientists within the fields that study intelligence do not deny intelligence is highly heritable. What's more, we all kind of know this deep down. We know that not everyone can be a physicist, right? We all know deep down that some people are just naturally smart.

Quote
The heritability of IQ for adults is between 58% and 77%[5] (with some more-recent estimates as high as 80%[6] and 86%.[7]) Genome-wide association studies have identified inherited genome sequence differences that account for 20% of the 50% of the genetic variation that contributes to heritability.[8] IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics, for children, to being strongly correlated with genetics for late teens and adults. The heritability of IQ increases with age and reaches an asymptote at 18–20 years of age and continues at that level well into adulthood. This phenomenon is known as the Wilson Effect.[9] Recent studies suggest that family and parenting characteristics are not significant contributors to variation in IQ scores;[10] however, poor prenatal environment, malnutrition and disease can have deleterious effects.[11][12]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heritability_of_IQ

It is a politically sensitive subject for obvious reasons. Something that should be noted is that variation within groups is far greater than between groups. In other words just because average IQ within a group may be lower, it doesn't mean there aren't really smart people in that group. What this means is that it is always best to judge people as individuals because the average IQ of a group does not tell you anything about any given individual within that group.

I do worry about the way the Left is dealing with it actually: The view that any disparities within statistical data is mostly down to structural racism or sexism, and the constant push for parity, is inevitably going to lead to some people overstating the genetic element, and in very ugly ways. If the Left just focused their efforts on removing the barriers to entry and potential biases, and not so much on achieving parity, you could avoid the discussion altogether, which is what they want to do anyway. And it is perfectly understandable why they don't want the discussion to begin with. The problem is, the type of politics used by the left doesn't really allow for that; it's too confrontational. When your rhetoric implies everything is the fault of 'white people' and ignores any other factors, it is inevitable that some people are going to say, "hold on a minute, maybe IQ has something to do with it?" or "maybe there are biological differences between the sexes?".

Wait a second, wait a second.  Jewish people, who are .2% of the world's population but 22.5% of the population of those awarded the Nobel Prize are not just raising their kids approximately 2423 times better than the general population?   I knew they were colluding with each other!    :lucas

Kiwifarm wasn't enough for you? How many stalking community do you need?
There is absolutely nothing wrong with a bit of cross-community good will and synergy.
Imagine spending your life stalking people online and signing up to more sites to stalk them more.
Call it silly, but seeing people enjoy something you made has been oddly rewarding.

The site is cool and all... but I see Kiwifarms and I just see a hate site. From what little i've seen, the people with a conscience over there are few and far between. Whereas on thebore, Resetera is just like a trashy tv show we can't help but watch. Here we're only a hate site in the sense that we hate ourselves.

I wasn't talking about poor, disease-ridden malnutritioned people.  I was talking about the general population, which includes the cross-section of non-Jewish white people that are much less likely to attend Ivy Leagues or win the Nobel Prize as a representation of their population size than Jewish people.   What accounts for that?

According to these IQ hirarchy people, races are like RPG classes

Like, Asians are the smartest, but they are scrawny and weak, and have small penises. I guess they would be mages.

Blacks are athletic and well endowed, but lacking in wits, they are warriors.

White people are not particularly great at anything, but they are well rounded and can appropriate from other cultures. I guess they should be the paladin class.

I think Leadbelly is just legitimately intellectually curious but has not done enough research to understand what heritability would mean in this context compared to environmental factors.

Apple deserves every dollar and every ounce of it's success. It's detractors are proven wrong time and time again, literally every single second of every day, for the past few decades.

Their continued success isn't the result of some massive conspiracy, a fluke, or fanboyism. They make a shitload of money, because a shitload of people buy their products, regardless of the mockery and outrage of a tiny minority (often monetized) on the internet who have never really understood Apple to begin with, and never will. People confidently proclaim that every single product it releases is it's "worst ever" (which goes on to get fantastic reviews and becomes the industry standard, with design and functionality aped by everyone) and that the company is just inches away from downfall, this time. Rinse and repeat.

Meanwhile, Apple smashes records each quarter, and people like to pretend this comes easily and is no big deal. There's a reason people keep choosing Apple products while its pricing is on the upper end of the spectrum, and while it competes against the biggest companies on the planet in the most competitive industry. It's because even though their software/hardware isn't perfect, it's consistently leagues better than pretty much everything else out there. People here can mock and deny this statement all their want, but they have yet to come up with a more rational and plausible scenario for Apple's continued record-breaking success. Obviously, they're doing A LOT right, and their most controversial decisions are pretty much always geared towards the long term.

Talk about IQ is obviously an uncomfortable one. As a number of people may know, Sam Harris not that long back interviewed Charles Murray which he got a lot of flack for. In another podcast he mentioned that a lot of the people criticising him for interviewing Charles Murray would stop at the notion that intelligence is highly heritable. Here's the thing, this is the least contested part. Most scientists within the fields that study intelligence do not deny intelligence is highly heritable. What's more, we all kind of know this deep down. We know that not everyone can be a physicist, right? We all know deep down that some people are just naturally smart.

The heritability of IQ for adults is between 58% and 77%[5] (with some more-recent estimates as high as 80%[6] and 86%.[7]) Genome-wide association studies have identified inherited genome sequence differences that account for 20% of the 50% of the genetic variation that contributes to heritability.[8] IQ goes from being weakly correlated with genetics, for children, to being strongly correlated with genetics for late teens and adults. The heritability of IQ increases with age and reaches an asymptote at 18–20 years of age and continues at that level well into adulthood. This phenomenon is known as the Wilson Effect.[9] Recent studies suggest that family and parenting characteristics are not significant contributors to variation in IQ scores;[10] however, poor prenatal environment, malnutrition and disease can have deleterious effects.[11][12]

It is a politically sensitive subject for obvious reasons. Something that should be noted is that variation within groups is far greater than between groups. In other words just because average IQ within a group may be lower, it doesn't mean there aren't really smart people in that group. What this means is that it is always best to judge people as individuals because the average IQ of a group does not tell you anything about any given individual within that group.

I do worry about the way the Left is dealing with it actually: The view that any disparities within statistical data is mostly down to structural racism or sexism, and the constant push for parity, is inevitably going to lead to some people overstating the genetic element, and in very ugly ways. If the Left just focused their efforts on removing the barriers to entry and potential biases, and not so much on achieving parity, you could avoid the discussion altogether, which is what they want to do anyway. And it is perfectly understandable why they don't want the discussion to begin with. The problem is, the type of politics used by the left doesn't really allow for that; it's too confrontational. When your rhetoric implies everything is the fault of 'white people' and ignores any other factors, it is inevitable that some people are going to say, "hold on a minute, maybe IQ has something to do with it?" or "maybe there are biological differences between the sexes?".


Exactly and this is what separates idiot racists from the people who just accept certain inconvenient results. The problem is that even though the difference is pretty huge it's also nuanced and, like you said, the more identity politics loons push their ideology the more the right will be forced to respond and the more stuff like this will come to the surface. And let's face it, the right or in fact the average Joe aren't very good at making important distinctions or processing stuff like this rationally or critically so this could turn really ugly.

As per usual SJWs are often causing the opposite outcomes of what they're trying to achieve with their idiotic tactics and narrative which again confirms my theory that they and the far-right are feeding off each other pushing more and more people to the edges of the political spectrum.
