In formal argument rules, this is a fallacy but in the rhetorical sense, if @StefanMolyneux is slamming me on the internet, I must be doing SOMETHING righthttps://twitter.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1070121335882309633 …
Sigh not an argument kid. Here’s the simple breakdown: 1. You accused me of being a “white supremacist” for talking about harsh environments driving intelligence. 2. In intelligence tests, whites score LOWER than East Asians. 3. Therefore I cannot be a white supremacist. QED

Dude, I'm an Ashkenazi Jew. My IQ is likely way higher than yours. Why should I listen to what you think about race and IQ? (Disclaimer since the right is incapable of producing or understanding satire: THIS TWEET IS SATIRE)

There's no use having a real discussion on twitter. If they really wanted to settle this they'd have a verbal debate but moly will never do that. He's been avoiding destiny (streamer) for so long already

No, any online argumentation would only shift the Overton Window making race realism a more acceptable discussion. He's better off just mocking on Twitter. If you've ever watched a Moly Debate on his own show he just steamrolls the opposition with gish gallop and convo control

Furthermore, intelligence is not strongly correlated to happiness, so there is some economic benefit to being smarter, but it doesn’t seem to make you much happier

If harsh environment drives intelligence, why aren’t Inuits, Siberians, & Desert Nomads performing the best? The connection drawn btwn climate and intelligence, and implicitly btwn race and intellect is profoundly simplistic and ignores the multitude of factors involved here.
-
Their environments don't have as significant a "summer" period as Europe did. A desert is a desert all the time, a couple of days after a rainstorm isn't enough to change that.

So we’re looking for the harshest regular flux. Parts of North America regularly have brutal winters and hot summers. Surely the Native American Tribes living there for thousands of yrs should have become very advanced? These things cant be simplified into climate and race. Sorry
-
One key difference seems to be agriculture, which requires a fairly high IQ to be efficient, and indigenous North Americans don’t score very high on that test
-
Some N American natives had small scale agriculture, namely those in the north eastern US, supplemented by hunting/gathering. Mesoamerican peoples had large scale farming. I’m simply not convinced the factors of race and IQ are as influential over these phenomena as you purport.

Or, if they’re really even factors at all.

There’s a lot of factors that go into IQ testing other than how smart someone Is. and IQ isn’t the be all end all. Does IQ test for the ability to speak and learn foreign languages? To play music? To do art? To be an accountant? To do biology? IQ is just some random test

There are decades worth of research into this subject (IQ). The results are among the most consistent in the entire field of psychology.

The difference is an entire standard deviation. Read up on Stats 101 to learn what that means.

(*even if that “were” true...) Not even sure what you’re suggesting here tbh. The whole crux of his IQ argument exists at the genetic level, and particularly how this genotype is expressed phenotypically (re: culture).
