>>24943747
Taleb is dumb as pigshit
>>
>>24943788
No, you're wrong about him. Nassim actually has a great analysis on why IQ isn't a reliable measure of intelligence.

If we express it mathematically: let X be the full set of what constitutes real-world intelligence. Then X = {B, C, D, E, ...}, where B represents IQ-style puzzle-solving ability, and C, D, E, etc. stand for all the other crucial components, like handling real stressors, spotting hidden risks, adapting under pressure, street smarts, persistence, luck absorption, and surviving fat-tailed environments. This shows that IQ (B) is just one small member of the set: a tiny fraction of what actually makes someone intelligent in the domains that matter most.

There are many other variables that contribute to true smarts, and IQ fails to capture the fat-tailed extremes and real-world outcomes that dominate Extremistan. It reduces intelligence to a mechanistic test without real stressors.

This is bad faith.

Again, Taleb critiques the use of IQ for its lack of scalability as a predictor of success. Who would you trust more to drive a taxi: a taxi driver with ten years of experience but an IQ of only 100, or a Harvard professor who has never driven a car but has an IQ of 180?

It's even more simplistic, if you get rid of the noise in the dataset, and just do the regression in the 50% above the mean, the regression coefficients and subsequent variance get really small, almost negligible.

Would you rather your taxi driver to have an IQ of 70 or 120?

Sorry anon but what the fuck are you talking about.
What are these terms? Where did you hear them? How do I know they are crucial components of intelligence? And what do they even mean. What is street smart. What is luck absorption. And how do you know they don't correlate with IQ.

You are dodging my question by asking a question. I know where this is going. You’re trying to “gotcha” me, just like Piers Morgan desperately trying to corner Nick Fuentes. Well, IQ works via negativa: you can only use it to predict how dumb a man is, not how smart he actually is. So yes, I’d choose the driver with an IQ of 120, because having a 70 IQ indicates mild intellectual disability.

Still, that doesn’t refute my point: IQ isn’t a reliable model for measuring intelligence.

>>24944044
You can google these terms. I’m not going to spoon-feed you. My point stands: IQ can’t tell you how intelligent someone truly is, because real-life intelligence has many variables and specializations. Being great at abstract reasoning, like spotting geometric patterns, isn’t very useful if your job is flipping beef patties every day at a small diner in a rural town.
>>
>>24944037
All things be equal? What does that have to do with anything? I'd prefer 120 IQ the same way I'd prefer someone with above-average muscle size and 5 languages instead of 1. Doesn't predict shit.
>>
>>24944120
>IQ can’t tell you how intelligent someone truly is, because real-life intelligence has many variables and specializations
Everything real-life has "many variables", that's more or less the meaning of the term, can you be more specific? One would say that being way above average in a particular type of reasoning would help you out in diverse set of reasoning challenges down the line.
> Being great at abstract reasoning, like spotting geometric patterns, isn’t very useful if your job is flipping beef patties every day at a small diner in a rural town.
It is. There are geometric patterns to it that can make you better at your job, if that's what you're after.

There are many critiques of IQ, or rather how IQ is measured in the past couple decades. And the research seems to suggest that it's not so much that high IQ is a carreer benefit, but rather that low IQ is a career obstacle - hence biggest marginal progress happens at the low end of the spectrum. But none of this de-values IQ as one of the very key predictors of intelligence and success.
>>
>>24943500
It's true, though. Caucasians are more societally divergent from Asians who are more societally consistent. Asians don't feel like rocking the boat as much, and this is probably why they (...China) will come out on top this century, since the world is becoming smaller and smaller, and eventually it will isolate itself the way China isolated itself from everyone else - except this time there won't be anyone else. Innovative friction isn't everything. Until it is/isn't.

IQ is reliable to measure unintelligence. Even Taleb concedes on that.

But in the American job market, where gaping your asshole on camera can net significant income, it's a weak predictor even in the low ends.

It's the big lie. Con Inc was able to get them to believe that Floyd died of fentanyl overdose despite the video footage showing otherwise. The cognitive dissonance makes them venerate him as some sort of religious idol while insisting it's actually the leftards doing that. These aren't really even political convictions, it's just top down cynical weaponized lumpen racial resentment engineered to get toothless gas station employees to vote for microloans and forever war. Zero difference between Trump and Bush beyond what they're willing to say out loud.

Nobody uses these terms except for you. Taleb doesn't use them, the guy who believes in multiple intelligences doesn't use them you clearly made them up here on the spot. That's okay no need to pretend otherwise.

>Still, that doesn’t refute my point: IQ isn’t a reliable model for measuring intelligence.
Is SAT score reliable model for measuring intelligence?
Is PISA score reliable model for measuring intelligence?
Is GPA reliable model for measuring intelligence?
Is educational level reliable model for measuring intelligence?
If yes then IQ is as well because it correlates with all of these. If not, fine, but then it raises the question, what is?
Straight A students aren't smarter than students who repeat grades, PhD holders aren't smarter than high school dropouts. That's what you are effectively saying if you claim IQ doesn't measure intelligence. So what does then? Give me an example of someone smart and someone dumb and why you think they are.

This is something that came to us through cultural hegemony. I've come to doubt that it was really like that. It was probably primarily a combination of their experience dealing with niggers and a reaction to the nigger-worship religion imposed by the North.

The KKK was just an organization created by Southern Whites trying to express their collective racial interests in a changing world. It was not the only one either, but you use the KKK as a boogeyman because it was also a weird ass cosplaying cult. It is more useful then to demonize Apartheid South Africa, because it is easier for you to demonize Whites in general and say the KKK is about racial hatred while ignoring their valid concerns. This is because you are an alien, and its in your racial interests to hurt Whites.

>>24945195
You deny race because as an alien, its in your racial interests to try to dupe Europeans that race doesn't exist, however, you actively affirm the existence of race when aliens want to reaffirm their kin interests. This is bad faith and your malicious, trying to abuse European capacity for love for your izzat.

>>24944536
Taleb is just coping because he's brown and the implications of IQ.

In fact, Taleb is proof that antiracism is evil and that judging people as individual based on their IQ is fundamentally stupid. It ignores that genetics determines every aspect of human psychology. For example, in the end of the day, Taleb is beholden to his ingroup racial kin, as given to him by evolution. He will defend his tribe, just because he is high IQ doesn't stop it. Only White people are stupid because they drop their ingroup preferences, then get shocked that non-Whites will use this opportunity to empower themselves at Whites expense instead of working together. Individualism in Whites, which is also genetic, has produced a foolish race that is narcassistic, antiracist to the point they will hate their own family, that will go extinct while Whites that show ingroup preferences will be selected for as they are the ones who reproduce.

Watching brown people hyperfocus on IQ and debunking IQ reminds me of creationists trying to debunk evolution by bringing up 19th century talking points, while I see evolutionary principles being used in AI to great success. Its the same story here, I see more and more proof of how genes DETERMINE behavior and how it justifies treating races differently in a way that can be morally justified.

IQ is a plausible measure within a society, but it cannot be used across societies where the problems are not going to be understood because they lack the same cultural and linguistic basis for them. The problem with Murry and Herrnstein is that they don't seem to recognize this and they just grab any ol "IQ test" given in random countries in the world and pretend that these are comparable within "IQ tests" in other countries. They are not.

You simply cannot give the same IQ test in two different countries. Even if the cultural issue was not a barrier, there is the linguistic barrier, and the fact that you cannot trust the translator or the translation. Herrnstein and Murray, not being multilingual experts, have no basis for determining the validity of any IQ test that is not given in English. This appiles even to math problems because they instructions have to be rendered in the local language.
>>

so what explains the race gap in English speaking countries?
