This video is just, well bad… considering that the majority of black orphans are genetically fucked because mom was a drug addict/ alcoholic/ etc during pregnancy them being able to achieve an average iq of 89 from an average far lower than 85 does indeed show that IQ is more environmentally malleable. The Asian IQ myth is another one that is almost entirely environmental, that’s why the Asian iq variance is hilariously dependent on what culture they come from despite having near identical dna (north versus South Korea for example). There are instances where genetics highly determine iq and there are instances where brain trauma from an injury actually spike the persons iq by 30 points.
Unfortunately we live in a society where any discussion of IQ is forbidden. I too believe genetics and environment can both play a part. Like if STEM actually took in those who were qualified you’d definitely end up with a lot of whites and Asians.
I’ve never heard of the Jolly Heretic so I saved it to look at later.
Think about all the censorship and lack of academic inquiry we saw on COVID19 and the safety of various therapies. That was an accelerated, concentrated version of how academia has treated the "IQ and Race" question for the past 100 years. Nobody sane or who cares about their career would release any "insensitive" findings if they want to get funding.
That’s true. Just cracks me up that they always say we need to have a discussion on race and I’m like you don’t really want that.
"We need to have a discussion about race"
Translation: we need to lecture you on how Whites R Bad (TM) and
