it's not necessary to try and refute the empirical arguments laid out in the book. I think the conclusion is dumb:
if you are stupid -> you will have a higher probability to be poor
if you are black -> the probability of you being stupid and therefore poor is higher

yet, the argument should be thought in the opposite direction. how can poorness affect intelligence? how can lack of education affect intelligence?
also trying to prove genealogical inheritance for (lack of) intelligence, your arguments would need to have strong empirical data. it's hard to find "the stupid gene", but even without it, you'd have to prove that culture, economic status, etc. wouldn't affect the data. that's also hard, but we already know how those affect human intelligence in general, therefore it's an "easier"(less complex and less defisive) issue to deal with. and even if DNA affects the human intelligence, it would certainly be to such a small degree that the "nurture" side is far more significant

>> No.19916508

also, I think that DNA only strongly affects intelligence on both extremes. eg. a retard or a hyper autistic intelligent person are affected by their genetics, but most of the population will just randomly fall near the statistical mean. n

I see what youre trying to do with that reversal, but you have to keep in mind that IQ is determined by the environment only up to a point. Most estimates say that IQ has around 0.7 of heritability, which means environment has a relatively small area of influence and your question about how does poorness affects IQ has less of an explanatory power than the opposite question "how does IQ determines your environment".

Shaun BreadTube watcher detected.

TBC hasn't actually been refuted, just attacked from an angle of shifting the burden of proof.
"You can't say this is genetic until we do every possible study on every possible environmental
variable to rule it out". Yeah OK buddy there's a microscopic teapot that cannot be detected with modern instruments orbiting fucking Pluto, prove me wrong. The burden of proof is heavily reliant on verifiability. To expect "someone else" to do an infinite amount of studies on the infinite amount of potential external environmental factors just because the Occam's razor explanation is not politically correct is beyond retarded. Every single "refutation" of TBC relies on this braindead grift at some point. Sorry woketards, that's not how evidence works. Return to leddit.

I've solved the problem of IQ. Take it from me, who, at twelve years old and without any test prep, scored higher than 99% of graduating seniors on the SAT. I'm telling you, from my lofty and esteemable position at the far right end of your vaunted bell curve, that I've given this problem a lot of thought. I have solved it, and I would say that IQ has too many methodological errors to be taken seriously. In addition, what little it DOES actually prove beyond infinitely fungible, post hoc interpretations of raw data by fallible human beings, is almost exclusively out of scope with claims made, both explicit and allusive, within this thread and elsewhere.

So, what now? Am I lying? Am I just fucking with you? Do I, from my position at least two standard deviations "above" you, have the ability to perceive and understand the world in levels of nuance and detail and, yes, beauty, that you'll forever be incapable of? Your choice what you want to believe, my dudes. I don't care either way. About any of it, honestly.

Well no one is arguing that subsequent changes should be left to the sciences. And its a consensus among todays scientists that general IQ has a big hereditary part, so it would be rational to believe in it rather than react negatively just because the opposite tribe benefits more from this truth. Else, you act like those who dont believe in climate change, just because it aligned more with liberal and leftist point of view.

Or did he just run out of cocks to suck?

With that out of the way, "The bell curve" is a book for losers: no man with any accomplishments whatsoever to his name will tell you "yep, it's all thanks to my good genes!", even the most gifted athletes have to train hard for years and years to get to the top, and even the very assumption that high IQ is automatically a desirable trait is laughable if you know about MENSA or Israel.
Basically, it's a book that appeals to the kind of american white trash that can't even imagine that american niggers and african niggers might be retarded in different ways because of their completely different cultures (despite their pretty much identical genes).

The new genetics of intelligence
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/29335645/
>Recent genome-wide association studies have successfully identified inherited genome sequence differences that account for 20% of the 50% heritability of intelligence.

They base that information on a chimera, because there is none. For a group that extol science, genetics seem to be their Achilles heel. Here is another study on brain size and intelligence. Remember brain size differs among the different races. Even now we have couples using polygenic screening to select embryos. The study of genetics and intelligence seem to indicate the veracity of Murray's claims.
