Can we have a legitimate discussion on race and IQ?

[Anonymous No.12795273]

Let’s have an astrology thread instead, it’s more science related.

So what’s your sign?

>Genetics being a factor in intelligence is less scientific than star wandering.

Ok shill

Why do you think it's pseudoscience that geographically distinct populations of humans for millions of years evolved to have identical intelligences? Is evolution not scientific?

I cannot fathom the fact that half the people on earth - 3.5 billion- have an IQ under 100. That’s fucking bizzare.

It's become dogma to deny race and IQ differences

>/pol/acks cherrypicking the abstracts they like without understanding a single word of statistics is less scientific than star wandering
Yes. Unironically yes. Absolutely fucking most certainly without a doubt yes.

>There is not a single study in which socio-economic factors are controlled for and the gap disappears.

More than that, when the study in the OP didn't pan out how they wanted they made excuses and shut it down

Yes, a general factor of intelligence exists but the variance in IQ between people can be explained entirely by environmental factors, Childhood nutrition, Socioeconomic status, school quality, and so on. Absolutely nothing happens in the factor analysis process to tell us about what the causes are for people having different measurable levels of intelligence. And even if we accept a single general rule exists, that would not necessarily imply genetic causation.

>It's all due to 300 years of racism, oppression and poverty

>70,000 years of evolutionary divergence played absolutely no role whatsoever

it's actually more than half with IQs below 100. more like 65% or so. IQ is normalized to european populations.

Okay average IQ differences are settled, how about distribution or stdev differences? Is the white distribution wider with more genius and retardation than in asians? Does african distribution skew positive to stay clear of 0?
