Guys, I don't want to make any assumptions, but...

What are the most Lindy books to be on your bookshelf?

Charles Murray is a BS vendor and IQ is pseudoscientific nonsense. Taleb already BTFO the quack Charles Murray.
>No measure that fails 80–95% of the time should be part of “science” (nor should psychology — owing to its sinister track record — be part of science (rather scientism), but that’s another discussion).
The quote above isn't even the worst part. Taleb literally rips apart the bell curve in a single graph; he shows that the correlation between socio-economic status and IQ is effectively zero — and with this Murray's thesis goes down the drain. This also makes Murray's thesis highly immoral because it's not right to trap people in imaginary boxes, such as IQ.

>b-but muh studies show the correlation between IQ and wealth
Incorrect. Firstly, Taleb has access to the raw data used by those studies, and he has confirmed that there is no correlation. Secondly, IYI psychologists do not know anything about statistics — they seem to think it's about interpreting noise. With an r2 of zero, IQ correlates with socioeconomic status by exactly 0%.
>b-but muh blacks score lower
While true, it's entirely meaningless and unscientific; it is meaningless because IQ is meaningless and unscientific — it tells us exactly nothing.
>b-but muh country IQs
Those are completely BS. The fraudsters getting the data — ie Lynn — don't even go to the countries to get the data, they fabricate numbers, use unscientific measurements such as IQ, and make assumptions to get their numbers. I'd like to also point out that they always give Middle Eastern and Near Eastern countries an IQ in the 80s, but Lebanese, and a few other, diaspora have higher incomes in the US than diaspora with supposedly higher IQs, like the Chinese and Europeans; this doesn't sound right when IQ is supposed to correlate with wealth — but both you and I know the reason now.

Taleb; for he has the knowledge of a god.

How is it sound if Taleb showed it to be unsound and deeply flawed? The BS vendor IQ researchers fabricate data. Taleb used the exact same data they use in the wealth and IQ studies, and he found zero correlation between wealth and IQ.

Whatever.

>and prcticing math
Too late for me, I'm almost thirty and there's no way to learn maths after the age of twenty.

What is the lit-pilled view of this guy?

Dude is losing his mind after taleb called out his tiny weiner and the "philosophy" he engaged with to cope with it
