1. Race & IQ: A Response

The first in a response to the fallacious argument that intelligence is a unitary entity found in the brain that can be quantified by a single number and this so-called "intelligence" is highly heritable with little influence from the environment.

The Pioneer Fund was set up to "improve the character of the American people" by promoting eugenics and procreation by people of white colonial stock, Pioneer has financed a number of leading race scientists, lavishing more than $500,000 a year on those who work to "prove" inherent racial differences that the vast majority of scientists regard as balderdash.

@sovietamerican2: I can give you a reason for the difference in intelligence. Would you agree that 2 heads are better than one? The aztecs incas etc. lived in compact, dense societies where the spread of knowledge was more fluent. Further north american indians were more spread out and in smaller numbers. They didnt rely on large communities because food was plentiful and therfore the spread of knowledge less rampant

Good video and rigorously honest. Race and Intelligence is more about the psychologists themselves, battling it out with each other. The peoples of all races are the audience. Being the self serving human beings that we are.We get a slight wave of euphoria when told what we wanna hear, or an uneasy feeling when our gurus may have let us down...Human intelligence being fundamentally fixed on a number is outlandish.And would mean we're all incapable of learning regardless of how much exposure

@MaximusRelaximus

Also, elucidate why the Southern Amerindians, including the Nazca people, the Incas, the Aztecs- were able to engender large advanced societies while their Northern most American-Indian counterparts were still living in inferior life styles. Give me a cogent response, if you are unable to render for me a comprehensive, laconic response, please do not switch topics.

@MaximusRelaximus

How come Native Americans have lower IQ's than their East Asian counterparts when in fact their origins can be traced back to the hostile Nordic (Pleistocene) environment that North East Asians went through?? Living in a different environment for thousands of years wont change the genetics of higher intelligence, gained from living in the same region as the (superior) North East Asians. Unless of course the Flynn Effect has not occured with them yet??

what really surprises me is that you dissimulate your appearance in making this video, what balls you have!

[gmccall22]

@glorp896..I made up the fine print ? LOLOLOL...Or the fact that you went on a half truth telling site withholding the fine print ?..LOLOL...He quarrels again because he's ignorant and can't argue...This isn't the FBI's doing. It's stupid people who can read stats correctly, like YOU...Your "IQ" failed you once again

[glorp896]

@gmccall22 i caught you making up crap before, so i'm going to end this quicker this time and no, it was from the FBI... go have a chat with rikki, babye...

[gmccall22]

@glorp896 ..You're the retard. The UCR fine print says arrests are for REPEAT offenders, they're not on an individual basis. Victimization Reports are for HOUSEHOLDS. A crime committed against ONE person, the whole household are victims which will make the numbers greater. So yeah, that's where I got my stats from. But unlike yourself, I read the fine print, and with comprehension. You went on some bogus gov site..LOL..

[glorp896]

@gmc because thats where you got this stat from brain drain... of course they are inaccurate as to racially outlining crime stats which have been going way up for latinos as the illegals have been making hispanic rates catch up and surpass blacks in many areas... latinos are counted separately but i can show you FBI not counting them separately... if they do at times, thats great... you obviously are mathematically retarded - there is no explaining to you apparently... late 80s-early 90s=peak

[gmccall22]

@glorp896 ..If the FBI is so notorious for including Latinos with white"as you say" Then why are you presenting their stats in the first place ? You're saying the FBI is inaccurate ..lol..Only when it comes to whites crime. And latinos are counted separately . Did blacks decide to behave worse ? Answering my question with a question is because you can't argue...lol. And 69% is roughly whites share of the population, the same as blacks. And the RATES hasn't change hardly any since the 1950's
