Yes.
I felt the same way about Ray Bradbury and Jack Vance, and both of them were in their nineties when they died.
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.
It's the thing that blank slatists say can be improved by a better environment when they're not busy claiming that it can't be measured.
Gould has been exposed as a fraud.
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.

If a wolf is raised by humans, how much will that improve its IQ score?
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.
You should write that up and submit it to Slate. I'm sure that they would publish it.
I guess poor children hear fewer words because they don't watch much television.
And what those not-so-wealthy people need is money for drugs.
Sexbots.

Vidal was the last American. When he died, so did the final traces of the Old Republic.
