Nobody who looks at the actual words in front of their eyes will fall for your lie that I am saying anything remotely like 2 + 2 = 5 or defending Stalinism. Cling to your pet IQ test that tells you you are the brightest boy in the whole wide world and that you deserve to rule the world that has been stolen from you from the scary brown people. Yawn your way all the way to complete irrelevance, bigot.

I grew up talking politics with my grandparents who kept repeating the party line out of a multi-decade habit. <br /><br />(the purges never happened. Conquest is a dirty liar. Muggeridge too. Kulaks were a true danger. Expropriating small to mid businesses was necessary. 90,000 tanks USSR built- those had a 'peaceful' purpose.. and so on)<br /><br /><br />And avoid answering the real questions - such as if IQ or g is such a reductionist and useless measure, why does it have such great predictive validity?<br /><br />Have fun though. <br /><br />I'll be off reading some antiquated C source code..Y.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10829210511429371730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-10956577992716721192013-06-15T20:33:04.283-07:002013-06-15T20:33:04.283-07:00Depends on just which arguments you are subsuming ...Depends on just which arguments you are subsuming under "these."Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-55939506047706770572013-06-15T20:29:04.559-07:002013-06-15T20:29:04.559-07:00These general arguments are what one might call &q...These general arguments are what one might call "Marxist subversion." :)Michael Anissimovhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06217926458888484768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-10288181946570028492013-06-15T17:00:23.589-07:002013-06-15T17:00:23.589-07:00You're stupid.You're stupid.Dale Carricohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02811055279887722298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5956838.post-37487445751510223672013-06-15T16:29:49.791-07:002013-06-15T16:29:49.791-07:00You speak endlessly of the "better" peop...<b><br />You speak endlessly of the "better" people, the "smarter" people who should run things, and the "dumb" people and "inept" people who muck everything up.<br /></b><br />Yeah. Stupid people are more apt to muck things up. <br /><br />Of course, humans being what they are, smart people do so too. Still, they are better at it. <br /><br />I believe this has been common knowledge ever since the species homo started to do stuff more complex than digging for grubs. <br /><br />If you want a study that says so, this for example: <br />http://www.psychologie.uni-heidelberg.de/ae/allg/mitarb/jf/Danner_etal_2011_BeyondIQ.pdfY.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10829210511429371730noreply@blogger.com
