Does Haier ever answer the question of what the state of the scientific evidence is regarding whether racial differences in average IQ are due to genes or environment? I've been watching from half way through and so far Lex has asked him that question twice and both times Haier has dodged around and quickly started talking about something else. <br>Is Haier trying to hide his powerlevel? Why? What does he have to lose at this point, at his age? It's not like he is at the begnning or middle of his career.  Is he worried his journal is going to get shut down? I mean just say it straight. It's obvious the evidence for the hereditarian hypothesis has only gotten stronger over time.,(reply>), @Davy Roger It's only a flawed question if you interpret the question as though it's asking for a binary answer, but of course it is well known that both genes and environment influence intelligence to varying degrees  and sometimes you can get gene x environment interactions . that said it is obviously the case that you can talk about , within a given culture, to what degree some outcome is influenced by genes or environment, and this is what you do when you measure heredity. For  a hypothetical example if you took a bunch of african pygmies , whose average adult male height is 5'0 , and a bunch of dutch men whose average adult male height is 6'0, and you raised them both in the same orphanage with the same  daily nutrition and still the dutch kids grew to an adult height of 6'0 and the african pygmies grew to an adult height of 5'0, it would obviously be true to say that you had evidence that the height gap between pygmies and dutch people was mostly genetic .  So saying "the question is flawed" and using that as an excuse not to answer the question is dishonest.,(reply>), The question of genes or the environment is a flawed one considering they do not act in isolation. Sexual selection is a great example of the environment determining which genes/phenotypes are sought after and ultimately passed on.,(reply>), Thanks for watching and leaving a comment☝i have a package for you💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝
