Professor Nisbett uses the low SES argument to explain away cultural (code for racial) differences in intelligence. Did he ever stop to consider that lower intelligence is most likely why a person has low socioeconomic status? That 15 points may not seem like much, but it gives the +15 holder a huge competitive advantage.
If u listened, or better watch a more extended talk he gave in another video you would know that it is mostly due to SES. Poverty causes stress, which hurts IQ, and reduces expectations, which reduces IQ. Now in countries like Ireland and South Korea, because of high mobility, positive environments make a difference. There is no social mobility in the US, a political social problem.
A lot of cultural coping going on here. A cynical read, according to his premise, white European culture has produced the highest IQs in the world for the past 2500 years. He argues this is not genetic, but in fact cultural "tricks" that have systematically produced high IQs, and have been ingrained into Western culture for millennia. To put a finer point on it, if you want to be more intelligent, start thinking like white people. He actually hypothesizes an Ashkenazi Jew spacial intelligence disability of 95 in otherwise highly intelligent Jews. Why not compare that "disability" against some other ethnic groups with much lower scores, whom he would not consider to be disabled? Of course this discussion would not be complete without the intelligence joke inserted about the Republican Party. Then he compares support for Donald Trump with Nazism (seriously). LSE policy, I'm sure.

@@TheNerdMan2 The ancient Egyptians have their origin in the Levant (modern-day Palestine, in Israel), and they migrated into the Nile Delta and the Sinai, bringing with them their goats and sheep. The ancient Egyptians were closely related to ancient and modern European populations, as well as ancient populations in what is now Turkey and Iran. The sub-Saharan admixture that is now evident in the modern Egyptian population is a recent occurrence, which took place during and after the Roman period. Do some basic research.
@@DaveWard-xc7vd your statement was NO country in AFRICA. how does my response.conflict with that? You should have said, no race or the direct ancestors of, blah, blah, blah didn't invent the wheel. Or I could.say American didn't win the second world war. It was actually western Europeans, Africans.etc who migrated to America etc etc. Egyptians were in Africa.
Well, that's just a misleading statement. Here is a quote from ' Reinventing the Wheel: The Economic Benefits of Wheeled Transportation in Early Colonial British West Africa' by Chaves et al 'The fact that wheeled transportation was not used in sub-Saharan Africa until the early colonial period is paradoxical because it is well established that African societies knew about the wheel from the early modern period onward. Wheeled carriages were in use in Dahomey from at least the eighteenth century and were even produced there. Nevertheless, wheeled vehicles did not spread out of ceremonial uses with the exception of a small amount of military use.'
@@DaveWard-xc7vd This too is a little misleading. Scholars reject the notion that Ancient Egypt was racially homogeneous; instead, skin color varied between the peoples of Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt, and Nubia, who in various eras rose to power in Ancient Egypt. This is from the nature paper you most likely cited by Verena et al: 'Ancient Egyptian mummy genomes suggest an increase of Sub-Saharan African ancestry in post-Roman periods' : 'However, we note that all our genetic data were obtained from a single site in Middle Egypt and may not be representative for all of ancient Egypt. It is possible that populations in the south of Egypt were more closely related to those of Nubia and had a higher sub-Saharan genetic component, in which case the argument for an influx of sub-Saharan ancestries after the Roman Period might only be partially valid and have to be nuanced. Throughout Pharaonic history there was intense interaction between Egypt and Nubia, ranging from trade to conquest and colonialism, and there is compelling evidence for ethnic complexity within households with Egyptian men marrying Nubian women and vice versa51,52,53. Clearly, more genetic studies on ancient human remains from southern Egypt and Sudan are needed before apodictic statements can be made.'
So genetics plays no part in determining intelligence, UNLESS you are Anastasia Jewish? This guy is a crack pot. Then there is the response of the audience to the Republican jokes, clear evidence of liberal bias.
Nope. Nobel Prizes have been awarded to 881 individuals, of whom 15 (1.7%) - were black recipients. As of 2015, only 25 Nobel Prize winners have been Latinos and Hispanics.

Informative lecture, thanks, I learned something here.
The Zulu tribe was 4200 YEARS behind the Europeans in terms of technology when the two groups fought in 1879.
Nisbette throwin' shade at Murray.
Murray was a sociologist, and knows nothing about IQ
A little hard to follow without his slides in view, but overall a fascinating talk!

Or to put it another way, because of the inequality, in the US it keeps many people dumb.

Brothers and sisters in the same family can have different intelligence. How do you explain that M Nisbett if its not genetic?
Siblings can easily have different upbringings.
@@shagybaxter In the same family? I doubt it.
