I don’t think I’ve ever cringed this hard in my life.

Did you look it up on Instagram? Which part is bullshit? Be specific so I know which evidence you’d like me to produce.
Let’s start with income. Here are dozens and dozens of citations showing that IQ is the single most important correlate for income. Do you know what income is highly correlated with? Low crime, high employment, long life span, better health, and a hundred other important quality of life factors. Are you disputing that too?
I’m not sure if you don’t understand what I’m writing or if we’re talking past each other. To put it plainly, IQ is the single greatest determinant of income. Income is one of the (and arguably the) greatest determinant of a host of other life outcomes.
Well that doesn’t look right but I’m not a boat physicist so I’ll just accept it at face value.
Well he has to do something or Reform is guaranteed a win in 2029. Have you seen Labour’s polling? Reform has a 7% lead on Labour. It’s nuts. Immigration is now the most important issue for voters. Above literally everything else. 95% of the country wants immigration lower than it currently is. Prime Ministers can get away with being useless on a LOT of issues, but when 95% of the country agrees on something, giving them the middle finger is a one way ticket to being voted out with no confidence by the weekend. Do you know how hard it is to get 95% of the public to agree on something? I’ve never seen an issue with higher homogeneity on any issue in any democracy in my entire life. Just to be clear, this isn’t an outlier.
It’s clear most people don’t support Reform, but damn near everyone wants lower immigration.
I know it's never been a good indicator of success
I suppose you might define “success” in an unusual way, but IQ is the single highest correlate with income of all factors. Higher than parental income, race, or residential location.
If you’re interesting in learning more I recommend this article. They cite a lot of data and research. I’m happy to walk you through the directionality topic as well if you’re interested.
Why wouldn’t it be? It is the single most research metric in all of sociology. We have more evidence for the existence of the g factor (and its causal and correlative effects) than any other phenomenon in that entire school of science.
Don’t confuse the criticism of measurement tools with the premise that g doesn’t exist.
while the other faced hardships with her adoptive family and parents
Does anyone have more info? Abuse, neglect, and malnutrition are proven to reduce IQ. So are the concussions referenced in the article. I would be dubious to make any statements on the back of a single case like this. This is not even outside the realm of possibility of twin IQ variance - albeit unlikely.
It is the single greatest correlate for life outcomes. Higher income, longer lifespan, lower addiction, higher employment, higher wealth, lower crime, better physical health on every metric, and lower rates of fatherlessness. These effects all compound the next generation too. There is nothing else in sociology which comes even close to IQ in predicting life outcomes. Not income, race, location, education, or fatherlessness.
Of course nothing guarantees a “better” life.
Yeah I don’t see how this won’t happen now. As soon as parents are given the option to prevent systemic genetic diseases like congenital blindness, the next question will be, “do you want them to be a bit smarter?” Very few parents are going to say no.
equality, it declared there is already full and complete racial equality
No it doesn’t. Read it. It requires legal racial equality. If the only way for you to argue this is by pretending the bill says something it doesn’t, reconsider your premise.
Because it's not a law that make everyone equal under the law and it certainly would not compensate the people who were wronged and punish the wrongdoers
I quoted the part where it makes everyone equal. If you disagree, quote the parts you think contradict that. The fact you’ve made so many comments lying about both my comments and the content of the bill suggest you’re just a liar. But prove me wrong homie. Quote where the bill makes everyone unequal in the law.
When you say that this bill would end racism and make everybody equal.
So you can’t, because I didn’t claim racism doesn’t exist. You keep lying because your defence of racism is so disgusting that you can’t bear to own it for one fucking comment. Just fuck off back to your KKK rally or wherever you guys come from.

Okay so I'm asking you for the second time: what are you disputing? What are you arguing? You call bullshit without telling me what you think is wrong, forcing me to try to rebut a ghost. Given the fact you refuse to articulate what you're arguing, I surmise you know I'm correct and you won't be specific because you know I'll produce peer reviewed research.
