On the heritability of IQ. No shit. What time of day I wake up at is heritable. Environment is heritable. Does that mean I can't change what time of day I wake up at? Too bad measured cognitive ability being heritable has nothing to do with how much the environment affects skill acquisition.

This is purely about 'amount of deliberate practice.' That is a tiny portion of what I was talking about, and it's results fit neatly in line with it. Quality of practice + amount of practice + practice occurring at regular intervals + how much you give a shit will add up to the fastest skill gains. If I spent 400 hours practicing driving on my own using my feet to control the wheel and my hands to control the pedals while doing a handstand and you practice normally with The Stig for 200 hours, who do you think is going to be the better driver?

A quite well known and funny response defending a book loved by racists, and cringed at by academics.

This is about people scoring on GMA tests, which often include questions about information you must be previously educated on. No shit people who can score better on that test perform better at jobs. This is unrelated to anything I said anyway, because it isn't about environment affecting skill acquisition.

>The results demonstrate that intelligence is a powerful predictor of success but, on the whole, not an overwhelmingly better predictor than parental SES or grades.
Did you get this off /pol/ and fail to even read it? It supports my position. Not yours.

That number gets higher every time I see it.

And environment is heritable.

Heritability changes over time. It will probably become less heritable as our abilities to provide efficient education increases.

Epigenetics has nothing to do with it.

Educate yourself

It has a genetic component yet is not heritable, how incredible! I hope everyone learned something today.

I'll reiterate. Genetics =/= heritability.

This meme needs to stop. Or they need to change the terminology. Because it doesn't mean what laymen think it means.
