Unfortunately, there are significant differences between the races as far as IQ is concerned. That is not racism, idiocracy or whatever someone wants to call it - it is fact. When a group suppresses factual information for the sake of political correctness, the chance to correct the problem is profoundly diminished. I have a problem with the author’s definition of groups and have seen no data on this but I admit it may exist. I would like the author to produce the hard numbers for review. The best book on this is The Bell Curve which was maligned when first published but which now is widely accepted by people who know but are afraid to speak. Nature/nurture accounts for a 60/40 etiologic split but others flip the numbers. Regardless, the part nurture plays is enormous and can be influenced by parents. Lets stop lying and get to work to help our fellow man!
Only a problem if IQ is an empirical measure of worth.
Wisdom is far superior to IQ.
“The best book on this is The Bell Curve...”
Read it and believe it. If somebody reads it entirely, it is difficult to refute.
It proved the English professor’s point some time back.
And the point is that smart people earn more money, live better, birth smart people who repeat.
And that dumb people birth dumb people, who earn less money, who live less well.
Etc. Oh yeah, all races do not have the same mean and median IQs.
The new book from Peter D'Adamo titled "The Genotype Diet" puts a little light on the topic of epigenetics. There is much that can influence the development of a child between conception and birth. Nutrition and hormone levels in the mother can have significant influence. The initial genetic endowment from our parents is just a starting point.
