Mental gymnastics: The Post.

>We've also found things that have a much higher impact on IQ, such as pre-natal/early development malnutrition, or breastfeeding of infants by mothers who suffer malnutrition or iron deficiency.
IQ is about 70-80% heritable. None of the things you mentioned have nearly as much of an impact on IQ.

>asians, have the most iron-rich diets consisting of fish/rice/vegetables)
Which means nothing as long as the individual is not deficient. This doesn't explain the gap between Europeans and Asians. And it certainly doesn't explain the difference between Ashkenazi Jews and everyone else.

>There's also things like education/culture, which is even more ambiguous and complicates it further.
Education and culture are a direct result of intelligence. We all started on the same playing field. Moreover, there are many examples of oil rich countries with Western living standards that still have very low average IQ's, and vice versa (e.g. China).

>It's totally possible that race/genetics influences intelligence
Possible? It is a scientific fact that has not only been proven empirically in numerous studies, but is common fucking sense to anyone with a brain.
