DNA Tests for I.Q. on the horizon

[TheGreenHornet]

This is bound to make the liberals very nervous....because it will destroy their false narrative of culture and education or lack there-of being the main determinants of i.q.'s ....not-- heritability. Anyone with any powers of observation, common sense and objectivity have long known how intelligence or lack therof runs in families....not even to mention all the twin studies which also prove it.

What will be the liberals response to this?....first of all they will do all in their power to prevent the schools, employers, the government etc.etc. from giving these tests....unfortunately for them even if their efforts succeed for awhile....the practacality and necessity of these tests will prevail in the long run....and even more it has and will scientifically destroy the liberal narrative regarding i.q. forever. Not good times to be a devotee of liberal fallacies. DNA tests for IQ are coming, but it might not be smart to take one

It will turn out to shadow the pea experiment in biology..

I've known my IQ since high school. (Worked in the office and peeked at my file. Just wanted to know who was smarter, my brother or me.)

Although mine was higher, he excelled in school and career more than I did. It's not so much of what you have as how you use it.

I did the same thing. It was just a piece of paper that had "LOL" written in crayon on it.

Sounds like BS to me.

Once the test exists, the ability to modify is just around the corner. Then, how much IQ do you go for? Eventually you get to the point where you have an individual with an IQ so high they feel there is no longer a need for normal humans. That's when things get dicey.....

That’s not what she said.

sounds like you are overly enamoured with your opinions....do you really think anyones gives a damn about your 'opinion'?

Does it Mr. "hunting guns"?

I had a girlfriend who scored 160. She wanted to be a mom and a housewife. She had ZERO intellectual curiosity. I never could determine whether it was societally imposed, imposed by familial expectations, a woman of her times--born in 1949, or mismatch of grey matter and ambition or confidence. She retired not too long ago as a personnel payroll "clerk" at the FED.

Nah, this doesnt scare liberals, it gets them excited that now they can finally have a Master Race and not be accused of racism for it.

Maybe her intellectual curiosity was aimed at motherhood.
As for changing times, they do change but people don't. Women have an innate desire to nurture. Just like in 1949. Lefties don't get that because they ignorantly believe they're above nature.

Well, then what did she tell you after she stopped laughing then?

She was telling me about him.

A DNA test for I.Q.? Hmmm!
A lot of people who thought they were geniuses are going to be shocked to learn they aren't even bright.

Frankly, though, I won't believe DNA will reveal or predict intelligence until I see the methodology used.

All a genetic test will show is POTENTIAL.

IQ is not something you can measure like your waist size, and it keeps changing through your life time, most of us losing IQ as we age but making up for it in experience.

Except for Dimocrats who just keep on getting dumber.

I agree that IQ is an intangible. However, in elementary school I learned that Einstein's brain, which was examined posthumously and placed in a jar, had more convolutions on the lobes than less gifted people. I haven't heard that the post mortem brain examinations of othe high I Q individuals revealed results similar to the Einstein study

Reminds me of the future presented in Gattica...

I suspect that Gattica wont happen exactly that way because human beings will be also adopting cyborg technology and genetic engineering of adults as well.

You will find people modifying their genes and physical assets much like people change their interior design of their homes.

I repeat, a woman of her times. And times DO change human behavior. And, not ALL women have an innate sense to nurture. The majority DO (though I no longer believe it is the vast majority).

Now for your SCREAMING SEXISM. Intellectual curiosity waxes or wanes depending on whether a woman 'nurtures '?

Are YOU sure you wanna stick with that one?y

Seriously man, you just got a whole lot of shit wrong.
