It is bs and pseudoscience.
>IQ is not a good predictor of educational achievement
>IQ is predicted by macro-social variables
>IQ is at least 50% explained by environment & upbringing
>Small interventions change it, including adulthood
>As time goes on, the number of genes IQ is attributed to has expanded so substantially, that no group variation is plausible
>The entire relationship between race & IQ and race & school achievement is explained by inequality, discrimination, class, anti-black policy & so on.
>Race is a political category
>Within group genetic differences in ethnicities is larger than that of between group
>For race its even weaker--genetic diversity is the highest in Africa of anywhere & in the Americas most people attributed to a 'race' are mixed ethnic, geographic & other ancestry
>Common environmental stimuli--dairy eating, disease, urbanization, agriculture, climate, culture--have developmental & evolutionary effects everywhere and ascribing "race" to
them is absurd
>Priming & social psychology frame effects explain MASSIVE portions of all kind of micro-inequality (gender, race, class, sexuality, mental illness) and behavioral differences
>On top of this, enculturation & socialization obviously explain a massive portion of individual behavioral differences
>On top of this, class & inequality operate on people through kin, culture, upbringing, situations, geography & explicit policy
>On top of this, 80% of all behavior is explained by situations, only 10% by personality, and the rest the interaction thereof or unexplained
>Genetic determinism is total nonsense.
