I’d put a Larry Elder or Thomas Sowell up against a AOC or Andrew Yang any day...
Exceptions don’t prove the rule, but part of me still wants to believe that a lot of these apparent differences are due to development set backs due to cultural influences during the formative years.
Ah yes, still with the nature v nurture issue. It is both actually. But Thomas Sowell is not the product of nurture, he was born smarter than the rest of us. Richard Feynman was not smarter than you and me because his father cultivated curiosity. Richard was curious because he was smarter than the rest of us.
The argument isn’t are there black people who are geniuses, There are obviously blacks who are geniuses. The blacks you refer to our mixed though. African Americans have a ten point higher IQ than indigenous blacks in Africa. Aboriginal Australians have the lowest IQ of any group, Asians the highest. Whites are somewhere in the middle, but they tend to be good at delaying pleasure, which is a strong indicator of success in the modern world.
