This kind of ideological vitriol from Taleb about IQ differences likely reflects the fact that some smart people don't like to acknowledge that a large part of their success has been due to luck (being born smart), instead of being earned/deserved. It's pretty pathetic, frankly.https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1177522851533991936 …

Replying to @DantonQu
Taleb himself notes the literature says IQ is 50pc heritable, and then says thats false without providing any data to support that assertion. Where’s Taleb’s data is the better queation.

He's citing a Robert Plomin estimate.https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1177549268372115457 …

Nassim Nicholas TalebVerified account @nntaleb
Plomin estimates IQ *testing* is 50% heritable, itself weakly correlated to performance. Plus testing is also 80% correlated to other tests.
I estimated R^2 of 0% for socio-economic performance.
@toadmeister is a quack reciting some Quillette invented mantra.
