Weird how a roughly 15 point IQ gap survived through desegregation, voting rights for blacks, massive amounts of new federal programs for the poor, affirmative action, "Diversity" campaigns designed to raise the status of African Americans etc. Wonder why that could be? My hypothesis is that there was an offsetting massive increase in the nebulous forces of institutional racism. Gotta be that.

Thoughts, xo?

Wealth and IQ correlate and the whole point of the Flynn effect is that 100 IQ in 2008 is "higher" in the sense that a 100 IQ in 2008 would test well above 100 in 1918. White people, and specifically non-WASP white people, were imported in huge numbers in the 20th century at the same time the U.S. created the greatest expansion of wealth in the history of human civilization, and white people captured a disproportionate share of the gains, especially non-WASPs whites v. their historical wealth on a percentage basis. Given this context the fact that Blacks kept pace while they were subjected to a series of liberal social experiments that proved to be deeply flawed in a variety of ways (e.g. inner city high-rise public housing structures that had huge negative external effects on their neighborhoods) it's actually pretty remarkable that Blacks kept pace. Given the widening wealth gap and the huge and multi-generational expansion of the White middle class that benefited Blacks only slightly by comparison, you would expect the gap to grow significantly, not stay the same.

Precisely my point. Whites in the 20th century were propped up dramatically by a wealth infusion that allowed mediocre Whites without much education to gain unprecedented access to wealth. The fact that they didn't style on Blacks while Blacks were going through a host of socially dysgenic changes that were both self-inflicted and caused by persisting racism and counterproductive liberal policies suggests that low-end IQ Whites are a very persistently stupid cohort and Blacks are capable of outperforming them in terms of a trend line, just not enough to offset the expected gains made by mid-level and high IQ Whites who also gained far more relative wealth than Blacks during this period. Intuitively this makes sense when you talk to a stupid mick or zip who barely made it out of high school. At least ghetto blacks try to come up with clever rhymes and put downs. Truly dumb whites are just vacant.

Even yo nigga "Shitlaw" Steve Sailer admits that comparing *net worth* instead of income shrinks this disparity and points to a regression to mean theory as the explanation.

http://isteve.blogspot.com/2014/03/2008-sat-scores-by-race-by-income.html?m=1

Also I'm not sure how motivated I would be to gun for those extra 150 points if I knew I was already getting into my state flagship without them. Comparing that group to the group who gets shit on the most other than poor Asians in college admissions is clearly apples and oranges. I've never been able to get a satisfactory answer on how selection bias might alter this stat since poor blacks can still get into college with very low scores and poor whites can't. But it does underscore a basic truth that focusing all our resources on giving extra boosts to rich black people seems like a dumb way to address the issue, albeit a good way to maximize tuition paid.

idk i'm not a proponent of the argument, but its something like, iq as a measurement is flawed, iq tests are flawed (which i think we can all agree with), how do you properly sample across races, cultural differences can account for a lot of the disparity, and the favorite shitlib line that "race is a fiction" ("Richwine’s first mistake was related to race. He assumes that any differences in IQ documented between races are an indication, at least in part, of contrasting racial genetics. As others have commented, his entire enterprise is doomed from the start because, while human diversity is real, race is a fiction. Human beings don’t come in a set number of biologically distinct categories. Racial designations are historical inventions that vary across countries and over time in the United States. There are some genetic markers that vary by region, such as sickle cell anemia, but none that systematically vary by the invented categories we know as race. Race is a figment of the imagination." - http://www.politico.com/story/2013/08/jason-richwine-race-iq-genetics-095765)

This argument is clearly flawed.

These tests show equivalent predictive validity between races, and they have consistent intercorrelations. If they were measuring different things this shouldn't be the case. They would either significantly underpredict black real world performance, or show a pattern of variability that is different from other ethnic groups (which would suggest cultural biases and differences in skill profiles).

The thing is it has the same predictive validity across races

So people with the same IQ have similar outcomes regardless of race

You would think then that blacks would outperform whites on this tests every once and a while - but no, every single goddamn time they score lower. While iq tests may be flawed, when something happens 100 out of 100 times you just gotta acknowledge it's real.

Also I think this is the part when we start talking about Neanderthal DNA...

Chinese will start genetically modifying for IQ and IQ in the Americas will sink to Brazil level. World will be:

Asia, really smart

Americas: dumbish

The important question is whether this will happen before or after the creation of artificial general intelligence. If it happens after it won't matter, because it will be possible to build computers with very large speed advantages over even the most intelligent human brains.

The current rate of progress in reinforcement learning makes me think AI is likely more of a threat.

It'll come way before. We figure out more of the genetics of IQ every day, and already genetically manipulate God knows how many mice in general. It's just about someone willing to experiment with humans.

Generalized AI in the sense of making smart people mostly obsolete a long, long way off.

people overestimate the difficulty of getting to AGI. my basic thinking aligns with this article:

http://lesswrong.com/lw/md2/the_brain_as_a_universal_learning_machine/

the strong progress in many domains through deep learning systems (model-free reinforcement learning, vision, audio recognition etc) seems to validate the view the learning algorithms the brain uses are probably not very complex. DeepMind's latest RL algorithm beats humans at 40 out of 57 Atari games. transfer learning and model-based RL are still unresolved problems, but the capabilities of existing algorithms are still extremely impressive considering where we were just a few years ago.

i increasingly believe Shane Legg's predicted date of around 2026 is not going to be very far off.

As someone who has worked extensively in machine learning / statistics - I would say it's the opposite - rather that people underestimate the difficulty of getting AGI.

You also have to look at how much the tech world relies and will continue to rely on the hype of AI for selling its products - every customer service chat bot is being marketed as an "AI" now as one simple example. So on one level the incentives are greatly skewed towards overhyping the progress we've made towards AGI.

The average person, even the average "technologist" who keeps up closely with all this while not formerly trained in math / ai, doesn't realize how separate AGI is from marginal improvements in some deep learning application or reinforcement learning task of a computer playing GO or whatever game. So an advance was made in RL that now the deepmind algorithm DESTROYS everyone at GO when it only won ~80% of games a few years ago (nevermind the specific numbers) - what does that really get us in terms of AGI?

The problem with AGI is not with some performance metrics on an algorithm that's just not quite good enough yet, the problem with AGI is that it's an insanely complex problem that we don't even understand yet how to structure and how it would fully work.

So when we see advancements in "AI", for example a new deep learning algorithm has substantially improved its image classification / performance accuracy, for the short term this is a big deal b/c it gets us machines that can mimic narrow human tasks with great performance that closely resembles (or even beats) human performance. So we will first see an explosion of "AI" products that are extremely good at doing those narrow tasks - but taking that and generalizing it to some fully functioning AGI is not only a long ways off, but a completely different type and structure of problem to solve than "increase this algorithm's performance on GO or audio classification or whatever.

lol no, i just completely made it up. But if the 15 point gap can be explained as roughly half nurture and half nature (which seems to be the approximate view of the current literature in the field), it seems like blacks should end up somewhere in the low 90s if raised by stable, above-average IQ families.

Here is a study that looked at kids adopted by "advantaged white families"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minnesota_Transracial_Adoption_Study#Results

Advantaged White parent Average IQ when child is 17 = 115

Average IQ at 17 of white non-adopted kids = 109

Average IQ at 17 of white adopted kids = 106

Average IQ at 17 of mulatto adopted kids = 99

Average IQ at 17 of black adopted kids = 89

Maybe this is a reach...But is it possible that adoption studies are flawed as they don't account for the fact that an adopted black child might have issues forming an identity. And look for societal queues on how to "be black," which include not studying or taking school seriously.

I don't doubt genetics has some effect..But to deny that upbringing and institutions can't possibly be more important is questionable

it's asian/"indigenous", and looks to have been a mix of injuns, latinos, low IQ vietnamese, and koreans

"Asian and indigenous American children came from Minnesota as well as from Korea, Vietnam, Canada and Ecuador."

The average IQ of these different groups vary by huge amounts (koreans 105ish, viet mid 90s, american indians low 90s, latinos in the high 80s to low 90s)

This has been tried with adoption studies. There is approximately zero benefit by late adolescence,

This debate is pretty silly now. observable environmental factors do not account for the gap. More importantly, when we look at how IQ alleles vary across populations there is now strong evidence of differences in natural selection. East asian populations were selected more for high IQ than whites, who were selected more for high IQ than blacks.

So let's assume it's half genetics/half upbringing. Why is a 10-iq point difference enough to make this a major issue for the alt-right? That's what I'm still a little confused about.

In reality iq is probably closer to 80% genetic. 10 points for a large pop is huge. Particularly when it's probably the most important factor in a nations success. However, focusing only on IQ only tells a small slice of the story.

Hbd research shows a whole host of other outcomes are predicated on your genes, eg there are genes for delayed gratification, violence, empathy etc. That's to say nothing of how various groups have learned overtime to implicitly favor others who have tells hinting at similar lineage.

That said, it shouldn't be a basis to discriminate against individuals.
