60%-70% genetic while the rest is environmental.

Also, I believe lowering IQ is easier than raising it. Correct?

That's the case for almost all psychological and physical traits.

"No."

Genes are some 99.5% similar, potentially 100%; and activations and de-activations are somewhat often, and passable to offspring.

Energy levels, personality, social interest and investment, skillfulness, and other aspects of genetic expression are basing on nutriments. "Full nutrition" is such a rarity amongst diets (some 1%) – so increasing intelligence is actually the plausibility ..

Reasoning about the absence of a negative is just too confusing for /pol/tards to understand. They cannot be convinced because they cannot understand the argument.

it depends on the environment. and yes the environmental component of IQ is simply a matter of how well the environment helps facilitate reaching your genotypic IQ potential. in a first world society the IQ differences between people are at least 80% down to genes.

Probably. This is also likely a compounding generational effect.

Definitely a large amount of it, malnutrition, parasites, disease, pollution, trauma etc all are proven to cause significant reductions in IQ especially in children. So while, IQ does have a genetic component it's difficult to isolate especially when comparing vastly different populations.
