Race and IQ

Stefan Molyneux on Race and IQ (Pt. 2)

Something light and not at all controversial for this Thursday morning - everyone loves this guy and the subject matter he's discussing here. I'm not at all surprised that this guy gets death threats from time to time.

Isn’t it kind of obvious that the Jews would have a higher linguistic IQ given that they were basically nomads for hundreds of years? Generation after generation learning different languages will improve a group’s knowledge of languages.

Asians have higher IQs than sub-Saharan Africans and aboriginal Australians! Obvious because of their place and circumstance in the world. I don’t think any race has less potential to have a high IQ than another race...it’s just circumstances, in my opinion. It’s not heart-breaking it’s just the way the world is now but that will change over time as the whole world develops.

Yeah I don't like that IQ tests are seen as some kind of absolute measure of human intelligence. Is logical reasoning the only defining factor? To me it seems like a very narrow way of looking at it.
