Might be a cool meme campaign, listing all the things that are better than Trump one by one. You could have a new one every hour until the election day easily.

Did you miss the one that defines the word “predicts”?

Well, you claimed that children of parents with higher IQ have more successful children.
That wasn’t my first claim. My first claim was that IQ predicts success.
I pointed out that this is largely due to social factors, to which you replied a non sequitur about how intelligence has a genetic component.
Then I went here because you brought up parents.
From that, a reasonable person would assume that you believe that genetics is a major component of IQ, and not just a small contributing factor.
When I specifically said it’s not clear how big of a factor it is. So no, I don’t think a reasonable person would assume that.

can be attributed to emotional intelligence as much as spatial awareness and logic.
Even though popular culture likes to equate intelligence with lack of social intelligence and even outright autism, it’s more likely that an intelligent person is intelligent in all of these things.

Have you seen IQ tests? They are not “based on the skills needed for STEM”.
- Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no 2 weeks ago:
Yes?
- Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no 2 weeks ago:
Why then does IQ predict success?

We’ll have a Dyson Sphere that’s able to retrieve all of the energy of the supernova. So we can mine some crypto.
