So caplan admits that people do care about not living in innercities with high levels of crime and make the effort to move to suburbs with low levels of crime. BUT the point is that in scandinavia before mass-immigration and in korea and japan currently, their inner cities were more akin to american suburbs than american inner cities in terms of crime, but mass immigration turns those previously low crime areas of cities into high crime areas, so obviously citizens of that country wouldn't want that happening.,
the correlation isn't going to be one because there are surprisingly quite a lot of libertarians who are honest enough to admit that IQ is valid but who still hold to the classic libertarian belief of open borders and free immigration. take the likes of yaron brook. libertarians are often very pie-in-the-sky and naive . similarly there are centre-left liberals who don't deny IQ but consider being progressive and pro-immigration more important.
On what basis is it an "over-reaction" to want not to dramatically increase your crime rate and hence not want mass immigration ? Where does Bryan Caplan live? Do his revealed preferences show that he chooses "not to over-react" and live in a very high crime-rate neighbourhood because "most of the time they don't commit crime" , or is he a hypocrite who votes differently with his feet from how he tells others to vote? Spoiler : it's the latter.
He literally said that immigrants commit crime at rates lower than the US population. Your comment, which puts forth the assumption that increased immigration would increase crime, when that is not at all what the data indicates, is precisely what he means by "overreaction".
@@connorfinnerty1366 The post you're responding to is responding to a part of the interview where he admits that his "immigrants don't cause more crime than natives" line is totally false in western european countries BUT still claims that people in those countries shouldn't worry much about increased crime rates as a result of immigration because people shouldn't worry about increased crime rates in general. If he thinks that people shouldn't worry much about increased crime rates then why doesn't he live in a high crime area instead of living in Oakton virginia, a neighbourhood where the violent crime rate is less than 10% of the national average?

@@kingprince3975 He doesn't say they shouldn't worry at all. They simply shouldn't base their policies on small increases in crime rate, especially if these policies collectively punish innocent people who want to better their lives and make locals poorer. And as I wrote previously, you don't know why he lives there and he never said that moving to a safer location is wrong or even an overreaction
IQ scores is much more determined by 'nurture' or environment than many people think when considering completely different parts of the world with severely different living standards. I say that as someone who (along with my other immediate family members) has always tested as a very high-IQ individual ~within the top 1% on official IQ tests.
Disagree completely.. environment does play a role but ‘nurture’ plays a very small one when it comes to IQ or boosting it. Genetics play a much larger role .. if I had to put numbers to it - I’d say genetics make up 60%, environment 30% and nurture 10%.. this reality does really hurt many parents as there’s only so much they can do with their child aside from guide them in the right direction and make sure they live as healthy as life as they can. Genetics are so important and it’s difficult to talk about. You either are born with the right equipment to be highly intelligent and highly athletic and charismatic or you aren’t. These attributes can only be improved on to a certain extent . You can become smarter or faster but even with the best parents and right training - you still will not touch those that are at the top in terms of having the right genetics

@@connorfinnerty1366 That's only true because blacks in the USA commit so much crime.

You're a great interviewer, Richard. Keep it up!
