I was reading your critique of Haier's book and what he wrote about the nootropics. What are your current thoughts on it? Radioactive lead is considered a nootropic? lsrs.

Same as then. There's a plausible avenues one could easily try, but all the money is in making pills or brain training games with zero probable utility.

I am surprised. The parents do not seem to have a high Q.I. How to explain this phenomenon ?

Outliers are expected based on genetic theory. That's what recombination does.

Or putting it another way, "IQ" depends on lots of genes. There is no IQ gene.

I wonder if the genre of classical plays into this at all. Bach's contrapuntal music seems difficult to digest for many with a modern ear, but I find it to be divine.

seems nobody understands calculation of averages. In any calculation 100 equals the median arrived by statistically weighing all variables. As such it's meaningless in any comparison when applied to a sub group
