In a very short time, it is likely that we will identify many of the genetic variants underlying individual differences in intelligence. We should be prepared for the possibility that these variants are not distributed identically among all geographic populations, and that this explains some of the phenotypic differences in measured intelligence among groups. However, some academics and scientists believe that we should refrain from conducting research that might demonstrate the (partly) genetic origin of group differences in IQ. Many scholars view academic interest in this topic as inherently morally suspect or even racist. The majority of academics and social scientists take it for granted that all population differences in intelligence are due to environmental factors. I would argue that the widespread practice of ignoring or rejecting research on intelligence differences can have unintended negative consequences. Social policies predicated on environmentalist theories of group differences may fail to achieve their aims. Large swaths of academic work in both the humanities and social sciences assume the truth of environmentalism and are vulnerable to being undermined. We have failed to work through the moral implications of group differences to prepare for the possibility that they will be shown to exist.
Deranged. Imagine your God in life is IQ, some shitty subjective measurement that was designed for french children. And you think it justifies racism. You do realise how much youre paid in life is directly related to what level of education you have. You act like we don’t have any measurement for intelligence or meritocracy in western society which is absurd, yes IQ doesn’t get you a job because it’s so subjective it doesn’t apply to any job descriptions. Also academics don’t agree differences in intelligence is due to environmental factors solely there are obviously various geopolitical, cultural, historical and economical as well as environmental reasons why people are less educated/have lower IQ on average in different parts of the world. There’s no consensus that it’s down to environmental reasons at all idiot
A worldview that dictates that IQ be the ultimate measurement of the value of a human being and dictate the political and the cultural more often than not have racist intentions, or are at least inspired by racist scientism. IQ is as stupid and a flawed measurement system for intelligence as any modern educational system
I mean, it’s entirely possible. But if the idea is that intelligence is the basis for educational attainment; and education is the basis for wealth, then you’re presented with a very odd problem with *AFRICAN IMMIGRANTS.* You know, the best educated ethnic group in America. They seem to at best dispel; and at worst realky draw in to question the idea that educational achievement is based on intelligence, and that the reason various ethnic groups have differing outcomes is genetic. When we have the same ethnic group of Africans, but displaced across geography and culture. So, I’d probably look more in to that enviroment first, before opening the Pandora’s box of “racial group x is genetically y”.
All Time Classic. Great double feature with “Touched By a Funeral”

It's hilarious to hear Amber say that McCain was prestige TV 2 years before Matt said Obama was prestige TV on CUSHVLOG.
I think Obama was a bit more prestige TV, very self serious. McCain was pre-prestige ‘reality’ TV
@@chumbucket6989 Obama is Sopranos prestige TV and McCain is West Wing "prestige" TV.
@@sethshaffer681 this is the theory I'm here for
Come back to this comment in 30 years when Sanderson's books have all been made into movies, there's your Mormon cinematic universe
Look, we’re in and out of Iraq in three months, alright?
