Yes.
You seem to be under the impression that there is but a sole optimal IQ. This seems unlikely, when one thinks about the radically varying conditions lived by humans at, say, the Arctic Circle and the Equator,…
Have you compared the test scores of poor white children with the test scores of upper middle class black children? The results are, uh, interesting.
Gould's ideas have not stood the test of time, and it is now understood that he committed the fraud and abuse of which he accused others. This is why he has been disowned by his own colleagues, something that never…
No, I don't want to address a question posed in bad faith.
Simply Google "gould" and "fraud" and you will have hours of fascinating reading.
The average IQ produced by natural selection depends on the environment. There is no ideal level of intelligence apart from environment. If the Earth had a uniform climate, terrain, and so on from pole to pole, this…
Human personality contains any number of traits that can be measured. To pretend that pyschometrics does not exist is the equivalent of refusing to look through Galileo's telescope.
When you say that some of the best hacker and hustlers that you know come from unimpressive backgrounds, does "some" mean "most" or "a few" or "hardly any"?
A 100 to 115 IQ maxed out on potential will get you very far in life, but not as far as a 130 to 145 IQ maxed out on potential will.
We do have concrete ways to measure intelligence, and have had them for over a hundred years. The literature on this subject is quite extensive.
I guess poor children hear fewer words because they don't watch much television.
Sexbots.
There's a reason Gore Vidal used to call this country the United States of Amnesia.
In my opinion a more important effect of this is that the lower class children do not become role models for the other children.
Declaring patent trolls to be terrorists and sending them to Gitmo or someplace like that to be tortured until they confess to whatever we want them to confess to would also work, I suppose. It surprises me the reporter…
I'm confused. If you're saying that Finns do well in school even though nobody forces them to, then they would seem to fit the definition of excellent students to a tee.
Could the secret to Finland's excellent schools be...Finland's excellent students?
I believe that you mean "white flight," not "white plight," but a good catch on your part nonetheless.
Your first statement is an attempt to demonstrate moral superiority and therefore merits no response. Your second statement is misleading, in that it sweeps under the rug how Detroit's descent into poverty mirrored its…
I shall have to add "Having a good reputation is really a handicap" to the list of such eternal verities as "Poor people are happier than the rich because their lives are simpler" and "It isn't easy being beautiful."
The amount of time being discussed here is well under thirty years. In any event, property stolen during the Second World War is still being returned forcibly to its original owners.
If I rob your girlfriend of a nice ring she's wearing so that I can give it to my girlfriend, does my girlfriend legally get to keep the ring once the crime becomes known, just because the theft took place years ago?
If a person is raised since age seven in a house his parents bought with money that they embezzled, and then at age thirty he inherits the house from them, must he give it up once the source of the family's ill-gotten…
Observation is prior to explanation. Compile a list of countries good at wealth-creation. Then make another list of the ones where people went through Ice Age conditions. Now compare them.
