1. IQ is well defined, well researched, thoroughly validated, highly predictive of success in life.

2. IQ has been studied to death for decades. This is not a single study.

3. IQ is actually damn hard to change. In full adulthood it is about 70-80% genetically loaded. Environment has little to do with it, outside extremes. I am talking about the G loading here. Obviously items such as vocabulary etc have increased with more reading and educations.

4. Many ingenious techniques have been used to tease apart the causal change e.g., twin studies.

Why don't you know this? How about next time you go and read the textbook before spouting off SJW garbage?
