I mean, a gwas is literally unbiased.


Is there a tiny possibility that races are inequal in intelligence levels, or are you completely closed off to this possibility.

The heritability estimates for IQ are pretty bad last I checked. If your references are from before ~2015 you can more or less throw them out. After that I'm not sure, but before 2015 when I did my lasts deep dive they were basically garbage.



So do you think intelligence is more influenced by genes, or environment?

Its possible but all existing genetic data points to that not being true.

Edit: Real excited for the takes from the pard KKK chapter

You shouldn't rely on other people's findings. You should rely on your own faculty and power of observation.

If intelligence levels are equal, then tell me why it's almost uniform that black-majority countries are shitholes? Btw, please don't say colonialism. I am sure there are countries that weren't colonized by white people yet are still shitholes.

GWAS cannot be trusted because current and future GWAS are conducted upon the basis of databases compiled from results of previously published GWA studies.
Which can allow for false positives and mistakenly identified variants to proliferate as the research area continues to develop.
This is of course why we should be very careful about relying on GWAS, especially for studies on intelligence differences.

Why are West Virginia, Arkansas and Alabama shitholes?

Environment can lead to a pretty massive IQ gap. Used to be the Irish had something like a 20 point IQ gap with the English. It's basically gone now. The black vs white IQ gap in the USA was 15+ points and is now down to something like 5 or 6 points.

Education, stability, food security, etc. can lead to at least a standard deviation decrease in IQ.

They literally use themselves as a source for proof.
