Nyborg: Men smarter than women

[Ecofarm]

Let's have a thread where people put the tops and bottoms of their various lists. We could even cater to some posters and include power bottoms (whatever that means and no I do not wish to know).

power bottoms (whatever that means and no I do not wish to know).

it's rather self-explanatory, ecotard.

Don't Drake, Asher and KH have joint custody of the word ****?

I have sole custody. I just let them visit on weekends.

No method can account for social programming, access to resources and inherent bias. Why is it a surprise to anyone that, in a world still owned and run by a majority, minorities score lower on intelligence tests?

I mean come on, people are willing to believe that 911 was an inside job, the moon landing was fake or alien evidence exists... yet, they think IQ tests are totally honest and manage to control for all bias across socio-economic cultures. What world do you people live in?

Amazing still that so many people question tests like this that prove any difference in gender or race, but accept unquestioningly when they show differences in age. Socio-economic bias must be controlled in those as well.

[giblets]

Wow Ozzy. The fact that the same person will get better at those tests as they mature doesn't mean anything to you?

[OzzyKP]

You lose a lot of your mental flexibility and sharpness as you age. Most of this world's greatest scientific discoveries and breakthroughs are by people under 40.

But still, there is no reason not to balance things for socio-economic factors.

It belongs to KH, but he's nice enough to let me use it. Asher prefers other terms, as far as I can tell. Ecotard is not allowed to use "****" and should stop immediately.

[giblets]

Ozzy, I'm not sure why you think socio-economic factors are going to cause 20 year olds to be better at iq tests than 10 year olds.

[Drake Tungsten]

I think Krazyhorse has a more comprehensive list, I only classify the bottom of the heap.

The list could use an update.

I hope I'm remembered for the thread where I cursed god for killing that poor Asian immigrant's family instead of Oerdin.

@Ecofarm: Also youth actually are a minority. Unlike women.

Naw, that was just a copy of The Onion's "Someone died and it wasn't Glenn Beck". You need to work on your originality.
