Only problem is that heritability tells you absolutely nothing about the contributions of genes and environment to an individual’s intelligence. To say that “the remaining 80% [of your intelligence is] coming from the particular set of genes you inherited” is absolutely wrong.https://twitter.com/TellYourSonThis/status/1215620823765135360 …
If heritability isn't informative about Bayesian expected contributions of genes to a given individual's trait score, what would be more informative? I can't imagine anything better at the moment.

Better to say heritability "estimates the degree of variation in a phenotypic trait in a population that is due to genetic variation between individuals in that population". Imagine Bayesian predictor that assesses and incorporates assortative mating and other non-random effects.

Right. It doesnt make sense to discuss percentage contributions of genes and environment (or more accurately, non-genetic influence) to an individual’s trait score. A trait that has heritability of 80% doesnt say anything about ‘how much’ of my score on a trait is genetic
