Why are conservatives so fixated on IQ? Cognitive science tells us it oscillates and is contingent on social context (education, class etc) it changes within a single person's life span let alone history of a race or culture

Yes, but it is not a fixed category, it can change - depending on environment. In the Jewish case it may be stable due to a transhistoric constant, religion and tradition

The idea that IQ wanders around a lot is almost entirely egalitarian wishful thinking.

Well it does no exactly "wonder around" but it is not an immutable category either

Not really sure what an "immutable category" even means, but Spearman's g is probably the single most explanatory concept in social science. (Its only serious competitor is catallaxy.)

Lefties think DNA is super-plastic. That's pretty much what being a lefty means. In fact it's extremely conservative -- which is what is to be expected from the germplasm of heredity.

well, isn't the point of 10,000 Year Explosion that civilization (and then modernity) sped up gene adaptation? that's an increase in plasticity (if not in the scale social constructivists would like)
