Republicans may say that these numbers are fake, i just wanted to add somewhere this graph, proving(, to me,) that poverty/environment causes violence, not genes/nature(, you’d be surprised how often i encountered this kind of argument, backed-up by stats, made by people who wouldn’t be convinced by this sentence) :

Quite sure that the nobles of the Middle Ages were mocking the peasants instead of feeling responsible.
S’ppose it’s a bit pointless to post on Lemmy though, where everyone will just agree 🤷

    Isn’t IQ one of the most heritable things there is? Like height I think it’s about 75% in adults.

      It’s true and good news that it’s environmental, let’s all aim for the (post?-)human limit.
      Even if it’s a fringe part of the population, i’ve seen literally/radically racist accusations about africans without seeing that it’s because they’re the poorest, that fringe part of the population think that the IQ causes poverty and not the contrary, not entirely unlike the belief that wealth comes from your cleverness/efforts instead of the exploitation of labor, ‘french arabs’/‘american blacks&hispanics’ are considered responsible for their fate(, i was in a private school).
      In any case, a single counter-example of clever black wo·man/swan was enough anyway to prove there’s no color barrier, and there are more than enough counter-examples already, they’d have to point out at different genes than the ones responsible for the skin color.
      Pride[1]/Patriotism/Nationalism/Tribalism/Racism should have been replaced with humanism and even anti-specism, that was the christian way, there are ways for us to help each other without endangering ourselves in the future, it’s certain, and desirable(, more than working for ourselves/‘our camp’).

      [1] : Some great people i admire were/are prideful, a problem is that you’ll be treated as you treat others(, since you’re treated by the more powerful as you/civilization treat the less powerful), but it worked for them

      (edit : not pointed at you of course, i know you’re not racist, it was just something on my mind because it’s good news : it can be pushed further)

      That’s probably more correlation rather than causation. Richer parents are able to afford better education for their children.

      IQ is bullshit science anyway so it doesn’t really matter. A large purpose of its existence is just racism.
