@KirkegaardEmil The question then is, is it simply because they're black and black humans all over the world have lower IQs innately.
@PirateSpitter So, you now agree that ability difference is real, but just deny that it is genetic.

@PirateSpitter The question next is: which step do you not agree with? http://emilkirkegaard.dk/en/wp-content/uploads/race_intelligence_overview.jpg … -
@KirkegaardEmil What I contend is that the range of IQs in a group is determined OVER TIME by economic and social success or failure. -
@PirateSpitter You are not using the word "range" correctly. It's confusing. :P -
@KirkegaardEmil Apologies. I am not as familiar with scientific nomenclature. :) -
@PirateSpitter Why are you trying to discuss a politically sensitive matter on twitter about a topic you don't understand? -
@KirkegaardEmil I think I understand the topic, but there's always more to learn. That's what discussion is for. -
@PirateSpitter No, that is not what discussion is for. That is what _reading_ is for. Please read more before discussing with experts. -
@KirkegaardEmil Ah, a self-appointed expert. Always the best kind. Have a good night.

@KirkegaardEmil As well, parents with lower IQs will raise children less well than parents with higher IQs. -
@PirateSpitter These proposals are already disproven. Shared environment models do not work because C^2 is small to zero. -
@KirkegaardEmil Sorry, don't know what C^2 is referring 2, but I have no doubt that low IQ parents do not raise children as well. Real-life!

@KirkegaardEmil This is a difficult debate to do in these small snippets. I have never denied a genetic component to IQ scores.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@KirkegaardEmil But where does environment end and genetics begin? It's a symbiotic relationship.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@KirkegaardEmil So if my ancestral line has a 200 year history of being discriminated against economically, nutritionally, socially, etcThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@KirkegaardEmil How will that affect the IQ scores of the current generation? I think it would depress them.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@KirkegaardEmil Parents with a less cohesive family structure will raise children who are less successful in life, continuing the cycle.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@KirkegaardEmil Net-net: I don't believe the range in IQs among groups of people is static. I think it's malleable over time/circumstance.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
