“fringe arguments that link genetics and intelligence” – genes influence intelligence, that’s the state of science.

I’ve always wondered how people who think the link between genes and intelligence is false explain the evolution of intelligence. I’m honestly shocked that people here in “Technology” give your comment so many upvotes. Shouldn’t we be more sciency here? Also, AI is a good example that intelligence is not independent of the material world.

Your point (1) probably gets applause because of camp thinking. Don’t let your beliefs become your identity. http://www.paulgraham.com/identity.html https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NxqTOm3TzsY

However, I understand that the topic is extremely uncomfortable and personally even think it should be avoided because society is not ready for it. There is still too much racism and hatred existing in society for this knowledge not to be abused. The same social immaturity also explains why currently many suspect this research to be motivated by racism.

Alignment with the facts? Depends. https://quillette.com/2022/07/18/cognitive-distortions/

Interesting. About a month ago I joined the elite club of WinRAR licence owners.

I bought one about three weeks ago.

But I am made for love, not war!
