I assume they didn't correct for occupation and unisversity major.
Physics and philosophy major PHDs have around 130 IQ and for many of the humanities their IQ will be around 100. If you don't correct for their major those will be seen as equal.
There has also been a major wealth transfer to relatively low IQ jobs because of DEI and similar policies. High IQ engineers are often bossed around by low IQ managers that are paid more.

With that said you can ignore everything i stated above and ask why the metrics they used are supposed to be relevant for intelligence. There is nothing about those metrics that should be directly correlated with intelligence unless you think ambition equals intelligence.

IQ is very much correlated with being able to understand different concepts and at what speed you can learn new skills.

Most of them are so fucking stupid that they would be legally classified as retarded by white standards if they were given an IQ test. That's why they stopped giving IQ tests in school. The special ed class would be filled with nothing but niggers and a couple retarded white kids drooling on their desks.

>>509565585 (OP)
You're a retard. Humans must have a way to quantify intelligence and assign metrics to it. It's imperative for human development and advancement.

For computers it's easy. We can quantify the intelligence of a computer by its "bits" or bitrate/busrate. The speed at which the CPU can solve and communicate the solve.

For humans it's testing. We test the humans ability to solve and we assign metrics to it based on accuracy and time. Otherwise known as IQ.

I will re-iterate that you are functionally retarded and the world would of objectively been better had you never existed.

>>509565945
this

The data he presents is correct but his conclusions are wrong

>below 100 IQ, differences in IQ are strongly correlated to outcomes
>above 100IQ, the correlation becomes much less clear
>at the highest ranges of IQ, while accuracy is unreliable because score variance is so wide , it appears there is a general trend that at 130+ higher IQ begins to correlate with less success

His conclusion is racism against blacks, while the correct conclusion is organized institutional and social nepotism by 100IQs against the potential threat of 140IQs.

> 5) Fooled by Randomness: seeing shallow patterns in not a virtue — it leads to naive interventionism. Some psychologist wrote back to me: “IQ selects for pattern recognition, essential for functioning in modern society”. No. Not seeing patterns except when they are significant is a virtue in real life. 6) To do well in life you need depth and ability to select your own problems and to think independently. And one has to be a lunatic (or a psychologist) to believe that a standardized test will reveal independent thinking.

>>509565585 (OP)

A 1 dimensional number doesn't make sense to evaluate if someone is "smart" but if you think of it as a vector then it's magnitude will tell you if it is possible that person is "smart". That is what IQ measures.

>sociable to a healthy extent
>has a nuanced view on the world

Ok I think I get Taleb's argument.

People who value intelligence, culture, civilization and all kinds of refinements (I do not), do not like IQ because it is not "intelligent" enough, such a metric must in their mind characterize exactly what "intelligence" is, something exquisitely nuanced. They want it to be like program running time, whereas IQ is like CPU clock frequency.

No surprise then that he is trapped in the classical ought/is dilemma. The fact he goes for social metrics to determine whether IQ is relevant, show that it only correlates very weakly and determine that IQ is thus bunk as a measure of intelligence (this ineffable, sacred thing), just shows that he cannot conceive of a society that wouldn't value intelligence, and not because he's a fat dogmatic retard, but because what he equates with intelligence is basically being successful, it's raw will to power. Sometimes it even negates itself!

>Not seeing patterns except when they are significant is a virtue in real life

Understandably so, since as the highest value, it can never be represented, enunciated, spoken captured into words, only incarnated. Taleb surely is that kind of dynamite.

science is about study and measurement.

IQ tests are a means of measurement. its not merely a test of if someone can remember a correct answer, its a test designed to measure how well someone can discover and understand the answer on their own without any previous hints, clues, or training.

it is very scientific, you're just too low IQ to appreciate it. i'm not saying the # is everything.. and once you test a certain level you're branded it forever.. not quite. but thats the thing about science, it doesnt always give exact answers, only approximations. but approximating is better than not having any clue at all.

the thing is, IQ isn't THAT important when it comes to the abilities required to do a wide variety of tasks. many people can be very high functioning, compentant and successful with an an average or relatively low IQ. and likewise you can have some turbo genius that can see how everything works and fits together, but is entirely dysfunctional or "retarded" in other ways. it comes down to the fact that intelligence is dynamic and people are fairly sophisticated considering the other creatures we share the world with. we have a very wide range of things that can be specialized in. our societies are basically built around people training themselves to become some sort of savant. thats what a "career" is. that one thing you become hyper focused on and good at. well a genius can become hyper focused on and good at a wider variety of things because of their natural ability to understand it without assistance.

high IQ people created science as a tool to focus their intellectual abilities. to verify instead of just sitting around guessing. well we dont need to guess so much if someone is a dumbshit or not. we see how well they can perform a test.

whats next? other lab experiments have no validity because the results disturb your feelings? awww poor retard.

>>509565585 (OP)
There is IQ WAR (I forget what it's called) but the main problem is that people with higher IQ often minimize the issues with the testing process because they like the results they get. This is a tautology; the test is valid showing how smart someone is because they recieved a high score showing they're smart. Tessellating random shapes and abstract continuation of random patterns has little to do with anything other than guessing what the designer decided was correct. There may be more logical solutions that cannot be elaborated on in a multiple choice test. Same with the language skill section, because if you study you'll know vociferious is to reticent as mawkish is to phlegmatic, but if you dont know obscure latin words, you're boned. Now do we have something better? Not really. But like all composite metrics, the more the subject is aware of the test, the greater their desire to perform to the test rather than accurately gauge someone's abilities.

>>509565585 (OP)
It's still an excellent tool for determining intelligence that way though.

>>509565585 (OP)
it's kind of real but only for the average of multiple tests. A single score for one test doesn't tell you much

Men are pretty much more "extreme," in pretty much everything, which is why they are pretty often much worse, but also quite often much better.

Women, on average, are... average. They are much more social than males and ostracize peer members, who do not adhere to the social code, which leads them to try to be 'non-extreme' in every situation they encounter.
That's pretty good for not doing anything too bad, but it'll also never allow you to do really great things, either.

>>509565585 (OP)
I don't really care about IQ, but there should be a way to measure something like that. It's extremely obvious it's manipulated by the creators biases either way. I just plain don't believe what we're told to believe. IQ apparently selects for leftism. That invalidates it in my eyes.

Also, it's basically just reaching for expert opinion without you spending any time thinking about it. It's an appeal to experts, and that never really is good.

>>509571928
Taleb's notion of intelligence is like a story. You must read a story till the last paragraph because everything can be overturned at the very last moment.

An IQ test is a snapshot. It's a photo of a character in the first chapter who seems brilliant. Taleb is only interested in the full movie. If that "brilliant" character makes one foolish, high-stakes mistake and dies in the final act, the entire narrative of their intelligence is rendered void. Ruin is the ultimate editor.
For him, intelligence is not a property you have, but a successful trajectory you navigate.

Taleb's project is not just to critique IQ; it is to reclaim the word "intelligence" itself. He knows that words have power. If he accepts the "deal" and says, "Fine, 'intelligence' is what IQ measures, but it's irrelevant," he loses the war. He would be ceding the very concept he believes is most important.

Instead, he insists that his definition—conflating it with survival, success, and antifragility—is the only one that has any meaning. He is not trying to be a dispassionate scientist classifying a trait; he is a polemicist trying to change our entire value system, to make us respect the street-smart survivor more than the decorated academic.

>>509576115
In Greimassian terms, intelligence is a narrative value embedded within the actantial model of the kinds of stories Taleb favors.

For Taleb, "intelligence" is not an intrinsic quality of the hero (the Subject). Instead, it's a contested Object of value within the narrative itself. More precisely, there are two competing objects:
- The False Object: "Intelligence" as defined by academia, IQ tests, and theory. This is the treasure that the Opponent (the Fragilista, the IYI) tells the hero to seek.
- The True Object: "Survival" or "Prevailing." This is the real prize, the attainment of which is mediated by the ultimate Sender—Reality itself.

The entire drama of a Talebian story is the Subject's journey of realizing he is seeking the wrong Object. The "intelligent" man who goes bust is a morality play about this confusion.

What Taleb enjoys is not just stories for the sake of stories... What he enjoys is the reversal of values that structures them. His intellectual pleasure is derived entirely from witnessing this reversal. It is the core dynamic of the Greimassian semiotic square applied to his favorite topic:
- S1 (The Asserted): Academic Intelligence (High IQ, theoretical knowledge)
- S2 (The Contrary): Ruin (Going bust, being a sucker)
- ~S1 (The Contradictory): Not-Intelligence (Street smarts, mētis, practical heuristics, ignoring noise)
- ~S2 (The Contradictory): Not-Ruin (Survival, Antifragility)

The Talebian plot is always the same: A character is told to pursue S1 (Academic Intelligence). This path, however, is revealed to be a direct route to S2 (Ruin). The true hero—the Talebian Subject—is the one who understands this. He embraces ~S1 (the rejection of formal intelligence) as his primary Helper, and by doing so, he successfully attains ~S2 (Not-Ruin/Survival), which is the story's ultimate positive value.

>>509576165
The "reversal" he enjoys so much is the movement from the top axis (S1 -> S2) to the bottom axis (~S1 -> ~S2). He delights in showing that the seemingly "positive" path is a trap and the seemingly "negative" path (the via negativa) is the true road to salvation.

His work is not an open-ended inquiry. It is the constant, almost compulsive, retelling of this single narrative structure. He finds new characters—Socrates, Thales, Fat Tony—and new settings—ancient markets, modern finance, medicine—but they are all just different costumes and backdrops for the same archetypal play.

Think about it:
- Fooled by Randomness: The entire book is a collection of stories about characters who follow formal logic and statistical theory (S1: Academic Intelligence) and are wiped out by randomness (S2: Ruin). The hero is the skeptical trader who understands the limits of his own knowledge (~S1: Not-Intelligence) and thereby manages to survive (~S2: Not-Ruin).
- The Black Swan: This scales the concept up from individuals to history. It's a grand narrative about how "expert" predictions and models (S1) make society vulnerable to catastrophic failure (S2). Wisdom lies in accepting the unpredictable and building robustness (~S2) by rejecting the arrogance of prediction (~S1).
- Antifragile: This is where he finally gives a name to the True Object of his quest: ~S2, the state of "Not-Ruin," is formalized as "Antifragility." The book is a manual on how to achieve this state by embracing stressors and volatility, which is the ultimate form of ~S1 (rejecting the sterile, controlled environment of the academic model).
- Skin in the Game: This book identifies the key ethical and practical tool—the Helper in the Greimassian model—that separates the hero from the villain. The hero has skin in the game. The villain—the IYI (Intellectual Yet Idiot)—is the one who gives advice based on abstract theory (S1) but is insulated from the consequences, leading others to Ruin (S2).

>>509576231
His entire philosophy is a generalization and universalization of his personal life story:

He was a practitioner—a quantitative trader—who made his career and fortune in the real-world arena of risk. From that vantage point, he watched academic economists and financial theorists with their elegant, Nobel Prize-winning models get everything wrong, leading to real-world catastrophes like the 1987 crash, the collapse of LTCM (run by "geniuses"), and the 2008 financial crisis.

His life is the ultimate "reversal" story he loves to tell: the street-smart practitioner with skin in the game (Subject) who rejected academic dogma (~S1) prevailed (~S2), while the so-called "experts" in their ivory towers (Opponent) saw their theories (S1) lead to massive failure (S2).

His writing is the act of a victor explaining why he won, and codifying that victory into a set of universal laws.

That's all there is to it.

If we want to say that IQ and the associated psychometrics are pseudoscience, then it's certain that we'll have to characterize every aspect of the so-called "social sciences" as pseudoscience, since the results of their measurement methods are generally far less reproducible than the results from typical culture-free IQ tests (such as Raven Progressive Matrices).

IQ is like 'Athleticism'. People who do well in one sport do well in others. A good javelin thrower does better in running and jumping than a slop who sucks at all three. The fact that a marathon runner, a darts player and a strongman have very different builds does not invalidate that for most sport activities the general bodily function because they underpin performance.

I agree. Prefer female dentists, but male everything else.
Had some dogshit experiences with male dentists, while the women were flawless.
Male actually broke part of my jaw with a wisdom tooth extraction, while the woman who extracted the opposite side didn't even need stitches.
Absolutely identical angle/shape based on imaging as far as I can tell without medical knowledge. She just made a few cuts and some set of oddly shaped tools to slowly pry them out. It took much longer, but again, no stitches no antibiotics.
The dude just brute forced it.

Male dentists also have a habit of telling you that "X tooth can't hurt it looks flawless" and defend that standpoint due to some ego bullshit idk., then I go to a female dentist who says "yeah it looks fine, lets do a CT to be sure" and guess what? CT shows the issue and the tooth needs fixing...

This. fpbp and it isn't even close. The entire point of IQ was to sterilize retards, not predict genius. The military doesn't use IQ for placement, but they use it to filter out retards. The genetic coefficient for IQ almost is exclusively contained to low IQ populations when you get past 90 or so it stops mattering significantly. Also IQ was reformed after WW2 to be a standardized test, you can study to get a higher score, it's a near complete joke. Prior to WW2 almost everyone in the US and EU would be considered mentally retarded by modern IQ standards because of how much the testing changed.

academia is like an in person reddit. a bunch of midwits felating themselves while they come up with elaborate theories for why they are massive failures in life. people in academia are failures and at the bottom of their social class and so they have the greatest amount of class resentment of the people above them and below them. le reddit high iq is creating an elaborate theory based on peer reviewed expert advise, and it is all dog shit. in real life simple solutions are much more effective. never trust (((white devils))) doesn't need any expert opinions or theories. it is verified by blood. poor people outbreed rich people because the poverty lifestyle is optimal adaptation for survival. rich people try to kill of poor people in order to eliminate their superior genetic competition and compensate for their failure to breed. such is life.

>>509585342
I'll expand on this because Talebs whole argument is that IQ doesn't matter at all in regards to how "smart" you are, which is retarded. It's the modern world which is fucked up. DEI lets low IQ people have higher more successful positions and thus, income. There are whole SWARTHS of make-work jobs for average IQ women who make spreadsheets and get paid 100k to do so. Genius level IQ people get shoved to the side because they tend to me more awkward, and thus gave Stacey, the HR woman, the "ick", so she threw his over qualified resume into the garbage. Educational achievement doesn't even fucking mean anymore because they make up retarded PHD's for 100IQ people and then shove them into the group stats with ALL PHD's.

This guy is a genius, all you have to do is remove the data that disproves your claim

>>509565585 (OP)
Well I could tell at an early age that I was a genius and everyone else was functionally retarded. I come from a family of geniuses and every male in my line is beyond intelligent and capable. I've grown up around normal people and I can personally attest that most people are average at best and the ones who are below average are a problem. So if you don't want to call it intelligence, what do you want to call it that makes my genes so significantly superior to most of the other genes on earth. Why are there so many inferior people with weak minds and weak wills and why am I cursed to be among them?

>>509565626
Yep. IQ scores of like 120 and below are scarily accurate indicators of how successful people will be in life. But once you get into genius tier scores it becomes less accurate because those people often have other mental disorders too

>>509565585 (OP)
this guy is so stuck in his stats world that he argues
>look, the smartest janitors have IQs as high as the dumbest doctors!
as if that disproves the utility of IQ entirely. it’s just a predictable variance. Sure, yes, I’ll be careful to not collapse all intelligence to a scoring system. It hardly matters, considering that I can’t actually see anyone’s IQ scores unless they take an exam and show me the result… What, does he want us to walk away from this thinking that the dumbest janitors could have done just as well as the smartest doctors in that field of study?
>but becoming a doctor requires you to do well on tests, and iq is a measurement of being able to do well on tests! it’s circular reasoning to say that doctors have higher iq than janitors!
ok lol, why does that matter? would you really like to have one of the guys who got shit test scores be your doctor? you don’t think there was any difference in brain function that makes high-scoring individuals more reliable in that role than low-scoring ones?

They have done considerable work at making that true.

Now we have retarded Indians and Chinese telling us things like they don't have the minds of children.

It's not just that high IQ people get all the answers correct, but that we also finish the test faster because all of the answers are obvious while others struggle and think about it until the time runs out. There is actually a problem that high IQ people face that this obvious superiority makes other kids jealous and angry. So geniuses are often hated by their peers who are slow and stupid.

80% of genes have an effect on the brain's structure. Race can be clearly identified by average IQ score.

>We found that ability measured in youth has a positive association with most occupational, educational, health, and social outcomes later in life. Most effects were characterized by a moderate to strong linear trend or a practically null effect (mean R2 range = .002-.256). Nearly all nonlinear effects were practically insignificant in magnitude (mean incremental R2 = .001) or were not replicated across cohorts or survey waves. We found no support for any downside to higher ability and no evidence for a threshold beyond which greater scores cease to be beneficial. Thus, greater cognitive ability is generally advantageous-and virtually never detrimental.

>>509595812
lol you fucking retard, there is no "chocolate calorie", the shit that they're made of has the caloric value and most of the same caloric sources are in both mayo and chocolate. you literally shouldn't even care about different foods or calories until you can simply lose weight by burning more calories than you eat, that's all you have to do. it doesn't matter what you eat, if you're using more calories than you take in, then you lose weight. at that point you can start caring about what type of foods and this shit is so person-specific, some people might feel like shit eating THIS, and others may feel best. each person has to get passed the caloric deficit point for it to matter though.

you faggots who pretend 3000 "good calories" will let you lose weight if you burn 1800 in a day are just retards, you literally don't get what is going on. you will not gain weight if you simply burn more calories than you eat, it's impossible

Eating 10lbs of Celeray is the same as eating 10lbs of iron rebar....

no it isnt.

>>509596064
The point isn't that the calories aren't inherently good or bad, it's the fact that those calories are attached to foods that have other nutritional properties (vitamins, minerals, proteins.) Eating 100 calories of chocolate is obviously not the same as eating 100 calories of strawberries. It's fascinating that someone would have to explain that to you.

>>509565859
It's not but current civilization made for 100 iq retards and the bar even drops to 90.
So you don't need to have a huge IQ to live in this civilization, but if you want to build a more advanced civilization, then IQ is the first barrier and the reason why we won't see any development today.

Depending on what you consider "high" and of course the race matters. High IQ Whites are inventors. High IQ chinks and indians etc. can't invent hardly anything.


Beyond 130 is high. Average IQ for Whites (90-115) is actually dumber than most low IQ people. I.e. a 80 IQ nigger will be more natural and intelligent than almost all midwit Whites.

I don't even consider average and below average IQ Whites as the same race as high IQ Whites. Nonwhites with high IQ are still nonWhites (i.e. soulless nonhumans. They have no divine spark and no abilities of actual humans even with high IQ).

Just to be clear, they're saying IQ as a pseudoscience because it correlates with white racialism and East Asian people. It also accurately shows how integration with non-whites can lower IQ.

Most of the people in this thread are non-whites like Indians who would very much like that white people like you reading this dismiss IQ as well, for obvious reasons.
