HA HA HA HAYou have it ass backwards... ALL the studies done on authoritarian personalities reveal a very small percentage come from the left...about 1%...they are called revolutionaries
The Cliff notes version is we have another partisan who is locked into his side is the greatest and the other is the root of all evil.I just waded through all this andm to be honest, I can't figure out what the topic is.

You are a classic example of the blind partisan, the type I love to mock as you think you are somehow 'superior' to your opponents.
Guess again, you and them are the same, you use the same tactics and hope for the same thing, to impose your view of things on people whether they like it or not.
In short, you are just as comfortable with a Mao as you would be with a Hitler, as long as he was in your corner.

The circumstances into which people are born isn't limited to how much money their parents have, although money certainly buys a lot of advantages poor people can't afford.
The circumstances into which people are born also includes the advantage or disadvantage of having or not having a relatively high IQ. Jobs' biological parents, for example, were at least intelligent enough to achieve academic success -- graduate school, a professorship.
[Jobs' adoptive parents also supported academic ambition.
Those are advantages that some others don't have, and they are advantages that helped endow Jobs with, for example, the intuition and curiosity to which he referred.
And why are we using Jobs and Gates as examples, anyway? Clearly, people with high IQs have greater opportunity than people who are less well endowed mentally.
My cat is more informed then you are, and he licks his ass daily.Superior...no, but more informed, yes...
Hitler was a socialist. He said so. the positional differences Between Mein Kampf and Das Capital are extremely limited. The Only difference between Moussolini's fascism and Stalins socialism can be found in the simple statement that Moussolini thought it quite possible to simultaneously be a good italian and a good Socialist. Mousolini claimed to be a socialist til his dying day.
You define conservatism as does every other illiterati on the left according to what your idiot leaders want not according to what is reality.
anarchy is on the extreme right of the political line Totalitarianism on the extreme left. The theft of individual liberty always happens as we move more toward the collective and further away from the individual rights that those of us on the right cherish and those on the left see as hindrance to their utopian ideal.

As I've said, IQ itself is not inherited. That is a rather outdated, reductive approach.
I brought up Jobs to illustrate how people from modest backgrounds can do quite well, despite financial setbacks. This fact is not limited to Jobs, who admittedly, is an extreme example, but is the first one that popped into my head.
We can agree that there are a number of variables that influence individual success: IQ, determination, finances, encouragement and connections, right? And just for the hell of it, I would throw in place identity.Having money just makes life a hell of a lot easier.
Anyway, have yourself a nice day.

Brain Images Reveal the Secret to Higher IQ
The integrity of neural wiring is a big factor in determining intelligence. It's also inheritable.
By Emily Singer
New research suggests that the layer of insulation coating neural wiring in the brain plays a critical role in determining intelligence. In addition, the quality of this insulation appears to be largely genetically determined, providing further support for the idea that IQ is partly inherited....

Actually, you quite specifically said, "As I've said, IQ itself is not inherited. That is a rather outdated, reductive approach."
Obviously, no one is born with a pre-set numerical score on a test. I was simply using "IQ" as shorthand for intelligence and, as the findings of the research I posted show, yes, people do inherit the advantage or disadvantage of having or not having relatively high mental acuity.
They found a strong correlation between the integrity of the white matter and performance on a standard IQ test.
In addition, the quality of this insulation appears to be largely genetically determined, providing further support for the idea that IQ is partly inherited.
Other factors, of course, bear on how well or poorly genetic disposition for high intelligence is developed, but, as I said, retarded parents don't give birth to genuises; i.e., who one's parents are certainly does have an effect on one's intelligence.

I quite specifically said other things with respect to IQ, genetic and inheritence. I'm sure ed understands the context with which those comments were made. Go back and read.
No it didn't. In fact the only thing they actually assert is
Correlations is not consider proof, it merely provides the basis for further research.
Moreover, the only mention of inheritance isIn addition, the quality of this insulation appears to be largely genetically determined, providing further support for the idea that IQ is partly inherited.
As I said, I've already addressed that point.

That was the common argument in favor of Eugenics and used as justification for inadequately funding public schools in poor areas. Such scientific reductionism is outdated.
If I was you, I would say 'genetics might, possibly influence individual potential, however, the extent with which genetics is a plausible variable is relatively unknown as more research needs to be carried out. Available studies do seem to indicate some correlations, but again, more research is need.
and morons like YOU didnt fucking understand itHitler was a socialist. He said so. the positional differences Between Mein Kampf and Das Capital are extremely limited.

You define conservatism as does every other illiterati on the left according to what your idiot leaders want not according to what is reality.

You have it ass backwards... ALL the studies done on authoritarian personalities reveal a very small percentage come from the left...about 1%...they are called revolutionaries
The MOST "collective" statement uttered by a US president is: "You are either with us, or against us"...
And ALL you right wingers followed....

Let's not cherry pick my posts then!
I realize your position. I'm not in total agreement with it. I believe there are many variables that go beyond money and genetics. Perceived social mobility is probably a bigger factor, that and upbringing. Obviously intelligence is important, but you don't have to be highly intelligent to realize the value of education and instill that into your children so they can reach their potential. It's a higher advantage to be born into people who value education,stimulate intellectual growth and instill good values.Money never hurts, either.
