Saying that education raises IQ is like saying that joining a basketball team makes you taller.

One of the major intellectual faults you've been guilty of for quite some time now is not making the distinction between intelligence potential and IQ. Have you ever taken an IQ test? There are elements of IQ tests to which education and training are obviously influential.

Smart people love reading and learning

Not everyone with high intelligence potential has access to educational materials. There are vast areas of knowledge and intellectual skill to which one can apply themselves not measured by IQ tests Not acknowledging how training must necessarily influence results is dishonest.

When a Swedish skeptic says that you're mistaken, you can be pretty sure you are correct and simply disagreeing with the indoctrination that swede has gotten from home/school. I deal with it all the time, in the end of the day, they will simply deny reality rather than facing it.

My highly intelligent father always told me to ignore IQ tests because he said he only scored so high because he had practiced that kind of logic on his own before the tests. I later had to to teach him that it was his high IQ that made him ABLE to practice that logic. Poor thing

I think he realised that consciousness is 1000s times more important than peer intelligence. He took the risk to realise how dumb these tests would be and therefore succeeded in understanding how dumb it would be to relieve on those tests to acquire any enhanced consciousness.

If you think in computer terms, the purpose of an IQ test is to push your processor to its limits and measure its speed; you can't "train" it to be better, you're just measuring its limits. And as it pertains to grades, there are many factors other than IQ to take into account

Education over generations would raise IQ the same way surviving cold weather would. Now, interchange the variables: do you think a person's IQ is raised every year they survive a winter? Obviously not. But, low IQs can learn a consistent jump shot if they're too short to dunk.

Turns out genetics has nothing to do with it. The only variable is whether you agree or disagree with Stefan Molyneux
