I’d assess that leftists and white supremacists average about the same...

They’re the Isaac and Ishmael of ideological brethren.

Gosh what if social media videos appeared that appeared to show this guy pissing on the koran and hitting it with his shoe, while he was in general population, or even if he was released.

Gosh.

Gosh.

You might want to look into the history of the Stanford University eugenecist whose work managed to keepn the iq canard alive after Heinrich Himmler and his accomplices were dead. He argued that Hispanics (and Italians) living in the US should be sterilized due to their demonstrated low “iqs”

That is a silly straw-man argument. Because someone you (or I) don't like says X doesn't necessarily mean that X is incorrect.

I'm sorry it offends you that intelligence is not equally distributed between different species or races of men. Some species are smarter than others. Think moneys and turtles. Some groups of humans are smarter than others.

That is simply how G-d made the world.

To be fair there other types of intelligence, thats just one.

Well regardless of color my family seems to do fine smarts wise,, and myself, guess I do not have a dog in this fight I guess.

Some people are more book smart, some people are more street smart, and things like wisdom, common sense, ethics are just as important as intelligence.

Just my two cents.

Don’t really care about the strawman arguments you bring up regarding obvious differences in the capabilities of humans. Some folks are more capable than others as has been noted and observed by rational people who have lived among dysfunctional societies.

Dysfunction and IQ go hand-in-hand.

As does violence and IQ.

Of course, you are right. Every human has value. Every human has a soul. Every human has a right to live and be free. Being smarter doesn't make one a better person. There are horrible smart people. And very decent, talented less smart people. I would rather spend my time with the decent people.

Some of my relatives were put in gas chambers at Auschwitz. There were labeled "inferior" by the German master-race.

I understand that this is a "hot-button" issue with many. I simply don't think we can pretend that human differences are not real. They are. But a whole lot more goes into judging a person's worth than simply IQ.

So you think eugenics and IQ are similar? Actually they are quite different.

There are some measures that are very valuable. Your credit score is useful. It is used by many companies. Your GPA and IQ is valuable but it’s quite correlated so they only have to use GPA or SAT.

You may call IQ or your credit score pseudo science but it’s valuable to those who are using the dats.

BTW, have you actually read The Bell Curve. I have and it’s long. It’s ‘War and Peace” with statistics. I have never once met any person who complained about that book who had actually read it. They complained about thing that were not in the book.
