    THE IQ SCIENCE READING LIST
    by Brian White, Scientist (via Quora)
    (Tip: “libgen dot is” is your friend for science books)

    Probably the best starting point:
    Haier, R. J. (2017). The Neuroscience of Intelligence, Cambridge University Press.
    —
    If you want something more basic:
    Intelligence: All that matters, S.J. Ritchie, John Murray Learning, London (2015).
    —
    If you want easy reading, lots of information, and one of the best sources of how IQ impacts life outcomes:
    Herrnstein, R. J., & Murray, C. (1994). The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life. New York: Free Press. Note: The only shortcoming of this book is its age. We have powerful new technologies that were developed later. Those confirm the contents of The Bell Curve, and show that the book understates many factors.
    —
    If you want to read the most cited text in all of intelligence research:
    Jensen, A. R. (1998). The g factor: The science of mental ability. Westport, CT: Praeger. Note: This book is more advanced than those listed above and also was written before the development of such things as brain imaging technologies (they were just beginning); genome wide association studies; and polygenic scores.
    —
    If you want to understand how tests are designed and analyzed for bias, accuracy, etc. the best book remains valuable:
    Jensen, A.R. (1980). Bias in mental testing. New York: Free Press. This book is technical, long, and detailed.
    —
    For a good understanding of chronometrics:
    Arthur R. Jensen (2006), Clocking the Mind: Mental Chronometry and Individual Differences.
    —
    To learn how national IQs are computed and compared and for a massive amount of national level data:
    Richard Lynn & David Becker (2019) The Intelligence of Nations; Ulster Institute for Social Research.
    —
    Worth reading to understand the big picture (at least from the British perspective) and to get a general overview of essential facts:
    At Our Wits’ End: Why We’re Becoming Less Intelligent and What It Means for the Future, by E. A. Dutton & M. A. Woodley of Menie. Exeter, UK: Imprint Academic.
    —
    For an understanding of how mean IQ impacts breeding groups and nations:
    The Global Bell Curve by Richard Lynn.
    —
    Many of these books are out of print, but can be found at used book dealers in mint condition (most folks can’t get past the first few pages). Some of the books can be found in PDF format on the internet.

    –“PFS had it right – you’ll want the people who can afford to spend a week in a remote resort town.”–Shannon’s Pepe @ShannonsDemon

    Agree.
    I learned a lot from the Mises and PFS movements, about the importance of organizing by personal relations, and the agency and ability of those you want within them.
    But as long as Hoppe is ‘unhappy’ with me despite our solving social science in three generations, we can’t persist his or the PFS legacies – though he views PFS as a personal gathering and not so much a movement, and that might be OK with him.
    As such we have to start our own. We’ve shown we can. We just have a little more work to do. And the timing seems about right.

    -Cheers

    PS: Jewish Rothbard, German Hoppe, Anglo Doolittle is an interesting series through the convenient rearview mirror. The different ethics of the clerks(clan, separatists), the soldiers(hierarchy, duty), and the warriors(peers, heroism). This fundamental difference in organization and responsibility determines how we view one another, and how we project our civilzation as a universal.

    Look. @TooEdit is in the thread, and knows more about this subject than I do, but he’s the only one. Follow @SRCHicks who explained the marxist-to-woke evolution. And @ConceptualJames who also explains marxist-to-woke sequence, but both of these thinkers avoid the jewish origins of the semitic, abrhamic sequence, and marxist-to-woke sequence. It’s just a series of inescapable facts. I work in the law to prohibit the feminine > semitic > abrahamic > marxist-to-woke methods of lying, and my understanding is the genetic, biological and cultural origins of group strategies and their differences in metaphysics (presumptions), advocacy and deceit. And if you want to read material on Group Strategies @TooEdit has addressed both the European and Jewish. I just do the ‘whole world’ and explain why the world is and must be as it is. And given the law’s restraint of ‘no law no crime’, I address why “nobody is to blame for the past, but once discovered, they are to blame for continuation of the crimes of the past even if they are cultural traditions.”

    Don’t assume you have the faintest Idea what you’re talking about. Because you obviously don’t.

    @WiringTheBrain Kevin, for university students, assuming INNATE is an introduction, what are the next two books of increasing depth that you would recommend to explain the OPERATION of the brain. (freshman, sophomore, junior texts?)
