Yeah, posting in a genetic supremacy topic, based on social studies and IQ tests.
That's not something you'll easily find in Europe.. This is inherently US.

you aren't making the choice of where your money goes, you're not throwing away anything.

genetic supremacy? who is advocating that? I know Europe commonly arrests people for having illegal opinions but this is something important for humanity.

to be clear someone with low intelligence is not a better person than someone with high intelligence. Intelligence is not deterministic but gives more potential and widens the variety and complexity of ability. It doesn't make you likeable, wise, honest, or many other positive aspects as person can have. People with low intelligence struggle with basic tasks you and I may take for granted and if we can find a way to raise human intelligence, especially those in the low end, it would reduce suffering and create a better society.

That's not the issue, the issue is Endlesssky's 15% 85%.
Saying 85% of IQ is genetic, without us having figured out the IQ gene.

/e: Actually, I can go a bit further, your automatic deflection actually makes a point. What is, according to you, the reason why Endlesssky wants to relate race and IQ?
and what makes you want to deflect my post instead of his ?

what do you know about the heredity of intelligence? what is a more accurate figure in your opinion?

again not the issue here.

with that in mind it can be measured more accurately than anything else in social sciences and if you dismiss it so easily all of social sciences should therefore be dismissed


I dismiss the vast majority of social science claims

* Everything except mathematics and sciences based on math (physics, chemistry, biology, etc).

Physics, chemistry and biology are not based on math.

Most of the sciences are based on the scientific method. Which is not mathematical at all. In a way, mathematics is the least scientific of all the sciences, as it deals with deriving absolute truths (with certain premises in mind).

As long as the scientific method is respected, sociology is as much a science as physics or engineering.
