Theme: Causality

We have identified at least at thousand SNP variations that contribute to IQ, and that’s not enough for prediction because all genetic expression is probabalistic in competition during development – though the difference as I said, as with almost all variation from the other great apes is almost entirely by neotenic selection causing decreases in expression as stem cells migrate outward from the neural tube, slowing maturity giving greater time for development, under lower pressure of maturity, but at higher risk.

The authority on the subject is the largest lab doing the most work (Reich’s) and he has been not so subtly warning the academic world that the scale of the differences between the races is contrary to the postwar suppression of biological differences in response to the German adoption of american eugenics research and practice informed by Darwin and Spencer – who was the most influential philosopher prior to the world wars.

So you are welcome to try to find someone who understands these subjects better than I do – and you will find people who understand the stats, others who understand the biochemistry, others who understand the genetics, but as far as I know there aren’t many people who understand the operation of the brain better than I do, because in order to write about and teach the subject, I’ve had to exhaust that research. And there just isn’t anyone that’s outside of a small section of the AI commumity that seems to have a basic understanding of just how simple it is after all -despite the anxieties of philosophers.

Cheers

RE: ~”IQ ISN”T A PHYSICAL MEASURE”~
(short explanation of what causes IQ differences)

That’s in correct. Neural conductivity follows the same mathematical law as wires and undersea cables, where the law was first discovered. So neural response time is precisely what we are measuring.

The rest is determined by the organization of connectivity as neural stem cells migrate into position, and various of thirty or so molecules bait the tips of each cell into different regions of the brain, until they recieve enough impulse to form local inter-neuronal connectivity and begin ‘computing’ so to speak. Then finally the overall size of the brain (size matters), grey vs white matter density, and the environment that consists of the biochemistry of your brain that feeds the neurons, and the many developmental ‘errors’ that creep in due to accumulated genetic load (defects), and one evolutoinary difference Neoteny.

The uncomfortable truth that the scientific community suppresses out of self interest in survival is that human differences are due largely to on direction of evolution: neotenic selection, which trades aggression (impulse) for agency (consideration) necessary for social cooperation in increasingly scarce climates. Ergo the reason for performance differences between the four primary races is substantial, manifesting as difference in sizes of the classes, where social and economic class reflect the ability to posses the traits and intelligence to manage self regulation and therefore responsibility, because that is what humans have selected for: responsibility via neoteny.

Hence we observe IQ and neotenic differences by the four speciation events (Races): 1SD African to South Eurasion, 1SD South Eurasian To European and East Asian. And NW Europeans (north sea) have already lost 1SD from around 115 in early modernity to 100-102 today due to asymmetric reproduction. East asians are losing – particularly the Chinese, and Ashkenazim are losing too. Reason? Urbanization. Cities are IQ sinks because of the cost of children for high investment parents, and the cost of education, and women delaying reproduction for education and employement, versus the irrelevance of the cost of children for low investment parents.

So we attempt to judge the QUALITY of the organization of your brain with IQ tests by examining multiple capabilities – specifically among the feminine verbal empathizing vs masculine spatial systematizing division, because all skills roughly increase and decrease in parallel along whatever that sex ratio consist of, thus determining your neural performance, plasticity, and adaptability in time.
