The HBD thing is probably true to an extent but at the same time not a good discussion for the Red Pill. It divides the manosphere uselessly for with little or no gain. There are ahem other forums for this kind of material.

IQ tests fairly measure mental ability.

lol, come on. I got 140 on an IQ test in university and even I can tell you that they are not fair unless everyone was similarly educated.

[–]HarleyWalker 3 points4 points5 points 13 years ago (4 children) | Copy Link

It's still the best predictor of intelligence that we have and there are strong correlations with life outcomes and IQ.

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points5 points 13 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link

I don't disagree but if my father had been in and out of jail on charges stemming from the war on blacks and my mother was struggling to get by, I suspect my measured IQ would be much lower than if I had a stable family situation.

Compare, for example the personal lives of rappers taleb kwali (sp?) And lil Wayne. Both successful rappers, but taleb had college professors for parents and both grew up in similar neighbourhoods. Taleb is not a drug addict and is fairly well spoken. Lil Wayne on the other hand is the stereotypical nigga. His parents could be described by my above statement.

I suspect if you measured their IQs, taleb would score higher although you could say that both have the same intelligence owing to their comparable success (technically lil Wayne is more successful I think).

Anecdotes do not make data but I am suggesting here a model where IQ may not be a correct measurement of intelligence for all situations and so to assume they give you true insight is a bad idea. As I said, my IQ is measured to be 140 and I'm the stupidest person I know.

Of course people's lives effect their IQ scores but testing adjusted for socioeconomic still shows large gaps between racial groups.

Also Reflection Eternal was the last decent thing Talib done and "conscious" rappers are not that smart.

It could be that race is the difference or there are unaccounted for variables. For example, a poor white family in the US does not have the same family history as a poor black family.

The IQ test being the best predictor of intelligence is like winning the special Olympics.

I was having a discussion a few days ago about TRP and human biodiversity, and I kind of left it hanging. I can't be bothered to post in depth on a daily basis, but to explain a bit more about HBD, here's a link I stole from today's Chateau Heartiste post.

In the minds of most people, HBD=Racism, and our liberal overlords have long taught us that Racism=Bad. But there are plenty of good academic articles out there that show that there are differences in average IQ between racial groups. Here's a non-academic example.

IQ is one of the best predictors of future success in life, so this immediately puts our high immigration rates to question. The Red Pill is about speaking truth to power, first and foremost. Whether that's in game or in being a man, or in being generally successful.

It's hard to be successful if your society isn't, so considerations about who we let into our society are very important. Read the article. It's worth it.
