However, our society is based on false assumptions, since its root, what is called equality. <br /><br />The technical maintainers are selected for jobs that should be filled by being problem solvers and I have a hunch that these two types are considerably different.<br /><br />SantocultoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-37822183811658631542014-09-15T14:05:54.154+01:002014-09-15T14:05:54.154+01:00I will continue to preach this nail, maybe I can? ...I will continue to preach this nail, maybe I can? <br /><br />Yes, you understand correctly. Already have an elite where people higher qi rise to positions of relevance. What is to be thought, intelligence is complex because it is diverse. A linear bell curve can not explain everything. <br /><br />Today I could not understand what this means g factor. Again I reiterate that makes sense as a theory, concept, but in practice, it also seems limited. The concept of the g factor tells us it is a kind of essence of intelligence. But when we show examples of what would be this essence appears as 'someone who is good at one thing, it will be equally good at everything else'. <br />And this is not so for everyone and indeed, perhaps most do not work this way. <br /><br />Not only is iq, people have marked functions in society as cognitive castes. Only by relating only to the IQ criteria, we have a stupid elite that does not solve problems. <br />I can use the IQ itself to prove that the idea of a bell curve does not make sense as the only way to understand the macro-dynamics of human society. <br /><br />A person with IQ 130 verbal and non-verbal IQ around 90. <br /><br />Determinism iq part of the idea of equality, which is derived from the pedagogy itself. <br /><br />All are equal in his faults and virtues, equality in inequality, while inequality exists only when there is meritocracy, subjective or unilateral, as in the case of someone with IQ above 130.<br /><br />Thanks to Lewis Terman.<br /><br /><br />SantocultoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-77391932202590593482014-09-14T17:18:12.195+01:002014-09-14T17:18:12.195+01:00The purpose of university is mainly to create cert...The purpose of university is mainly to create certain types of employees required by the economy.

Because, instead of an hereditary elite, they would create an IQ elite, which would also be highly inherited.<br /><br />Which would merely validate the current elite.<br /><br />When in fact, IQ masks the range of skills and talents of many people who do not necessarily score ultra-high on a standardised IQ test.<br /><br />?<br /><br />I think that's what you're saying. But the IQ hypothesis is that, IQ does explain much of the range of skills and talents because, IQ reflects g, which is a sort of genetic wild card for doing, anything that requires thought, well.<br /><br />I don't know if I've understood either side of the argument correctly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-59955958207032120522014-09-12T16:44:17.615+01:002014-09-12T16:44:17.615+01:00We are deceived by the appearance and education sh...We are deceived by the appearance and education shows that where one who writes a beautiful text, but with zero new ideas, it is better than someone who does not write to the academic standard and has many ideas that can be useful.<br /><br />SantocultoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-83863622915925728912014-09-12T16:34:55.468+01:002014-09-12T16:34:55.468+01:00But they are limited.

My skin gets irritated easily just imagine the typical leftist discourse on 'racism' among other things. <br />I came to the conclusion that the 'standardized' tests' are not as infallible as well on their own. The problem is that withdrew the hereditary social privilege by inherited neurological privilege. <br />I do not understand why they continue to believe in super powers of standardized tests. You want to legitimize their social positions through rites of passage bureaucratic. <br />Are not realizing that people can not be unilaterally distributed as a bell curve. In each score qi, 120's, 107's, 142's, you have a range of different types of skills. <br />It's not difficult to understand that, what happens is that there are no previous studies to use as legitimation of their assumptions. <br />There are people who have great creativity and not just for recreational functions, but has no ability to produce a monograph or a scientific text.<br /><br />SantocultoAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-28263947166193221102014-09-12T00:27:47.307+01:002014-09-12T00:27:47.307+01:00The right side of your blog "shakes" mak...The right side of your blog "shakes" making it very hard for me to read this blog.

There will be a fair amount of shuffling of classes. If people follow stricter assortative mating (only marrying those they meet at university) then heritabilities could be higher, at 80% and social stratification would be stronger, social mobility (both up and down) would happen less often, generation after generation. Elites would rise and stay at the top longer. <br />Search the blog for social mobility, which should provide the arguments, and some references.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09320614837348759094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4624586630299165335.post-24282081187741790342014-09-11T21:08:18.333+01:002014-09-11T21:08:18.333+01:00Please indulge me as I seem to have found myself o...Please indulge me as I seem to have found myself on the left side of the curve.<br />Suppose population A has a mean of 100.<br />Lets assume no one is at exactly 100.<br />Population B is everyone <100<br />Population C is everyone >100<br />If, say, for 20 generations everyone who is born into B and has an IQ > 100 moves into C and reproduces.
