Is IQ even real?
It doesn't feel like it is. Everyone I meet in the street (regardless of skin color) has a terrible layer of depth and intelligence that a number can't possibly quantify.
I feel like it's all ultimately a matter of wealth. People like Carl Sagan get to grow up around evolutionary novelty, but people like Negro #4223232 get to grow up around violence and crime.
Read the literature. IQ is not what you think it means, but it is definitely real.
IQ is real, but it isn't exactly a perfect system to calculate how intelligent you are.
IQ isn't a measure of intelligence. And the reason people like Carl Sagan will be remembered longer than some random nigger is the same reason Tom Cruise will be remembered and you'll be forgotten after you die.
They have more people looking at them.
It's worthless. You should care more about peoples achievements infinitely more than how well they do on IQ tests. Also, even people of low intelligence are capable of amazing things and breakthroughs
so if being poor makes you dumb how do you explain abel or ramanujan
It's almost as if isolated thought without a tangible purpose is utterly worthless.
But then what's the point of advanced science and maths like string or chaos theory?
Dumb luck.
the values of SES cannot predict the life trajectories of any given person without taking into account every single other factor in their life. we all know just because you have a certain income, doesn't predetermine a specific set of life steps and choices. We see someone homeless and it doesn't automatically mean they were on drugs or had mental illness or lost a job or anything. nor does it mean that there was any one cause to their situation.
ultimately im saying there is no one to one mapping between cause and what happens in your life. they are all complicated interactions which is exactly why we have statistics. rather than model every individual persons life, we try to take variables or values that might predict latent transitions across distributions of trajectories and hopefully nullifying interaction effects. this gives us a simple to read number for saying "this causes this" but it is only an approximation given all the possible situations a person might find themselves in.
When applying back that number to any individuals life, it only can predict anything if you take into account all other interacting factors.
What a naive explanation
Ramanujan went to his public library and just did geometry proofs all day everyday. Ofcourse he's gonna become good at math. Why can't negros do this?
