Problem w/ this theory is that there are PLENTY of people w/ average or even below average IQs which took up a trade & experience no wealth disparity whereas there are also plenty of people w/ the same low IQs who were born w/ silver spoons Also, many on the Right lack EQ too
There are two fundamental explanations for wealth disparity: the left assumes “exploitation,” while science, economics & psychology have proven that it is mostly related to differences in IQ. The left hates conversations about IQ because it threatens the whole false franchise.

Sure, of course - there are plenty of women who are taller than the average man, but on average women are shorter. IQ averages are worse than useless for judging individuals, but when you zoom out to social groups, they become essential to understand larger patterns.

So would you say that African Americans naturally have a lower intelligence since their avg intelligence is said to be lower than whites? Because OFC it’s impossible for any other factors to impact this statistic? Honest question Molyneux.

I recently saw a Thomas Sowell interview. He said a Flynn research showed no difference between children of US black soldiers growing up in post-war Germany and white children. He blamed black American culture for disparities between whites and blacks in the US. Thoughts?

This is where I strongly disagree with
@StefanMolyneux. He has this eugenics idea, that, because the stats show whites on average have higher IQ, then it means IQ is determined by race. Thomas Sowell has it right. Culture is the defining parameter in intelligence.

Science and economics haven’t proven that it’s related to IQ honey. What a nice way to generalise entire academic fields and years of discourse to support your racist conspiracy theory. Oh, and it’s the LEFT who is academically dishonest?

correlation != causation My intuition would be that being born into money is a better predictor of wealth than IQ

I did. Even if true, which I doubt, I don't see how the 3rd generation is of a relevance to my intution: they were not born into money, the 2nd generation was. We also may want to define wealth (e.g. cash in the bank is not wealth)

Read Discrimination and Disparities by Thomas Sowell. I think that will give you actual factors that causes success

Both these explanations lack nuance and are therefore wrong.

Wrong, IQ and intelligence are still constantly being studied because it turned out to be a very complex topic, there is nothing settled. Topics about societies and human behavior are challenging due to biases and other data noise.

Nope, that was believed some years ago, but there are several problems with those studies, for example the environmental and cultural differences (IQ measuring is flawed). People have been shown to perform differently depending on their mood, stress levels, etc
