It is nothing but conceit and vanity to think that the social engineers have any power over natural reality. It is impossible to fix the underlying biological causes, distributing money from those who have earned it to those who have not does nothing to make the latter group more able, it makes them less able and less independent, and it is immoral. Forcing black kids who have neither desire nor ability through the education system is pointless. Enabling welfare queens to have dozens of kids in low-income neighborhoods does nothing but exacerbate the problem. This progressive crusade to create equality in an unequal world is nothing but a concerted denial of reality and a prodigal waste of resources. Liberty and equality are mutually exclusive.DaddyCoolVipper wrote:
I think anti-racialists are probably more focused on what can actually be effected with new policy. If you say "Okay, X races are inferior IQ-wise, so they're just gonna be worse off and we should keep things the way they are", that's not exactly inviting progress- whereas the less conservative view is that regardless of the source of people's low IQ or other inequalities, work should be done to minimize that inequality where reasonably possible. So we should still try to make sure black people get an equal access to education as white people, even if they are inherently lower intelligence, or whatever.
I don't think it's really possible to control for socioeconomic factors when testing IQ comparisons between races though, considering how different their lives end up being as a result of race. Hopefully in the future we'll have a better answer to these kinds of things, if only for the sake of curiosity (since as said, non-conservatives' focus is on what can be done, rather than "people are this way", full stop)

In many cases it should be decent, yeah. It's just that racial issues still do very much exist regardless of where you are, for the most part, and it's hard to tell how much of an effect that has on people's development.Railey2 wrote:

Sorting after income, education and occupation should get you really far already.
Certainly it won't be completely perfect, but in many cases it should be good enough?

You're definitely overestimating how big the biological differences are.B1rd wrote:

The ideal of equality doesn't mean that everyone should be equal, its about giving everyone equal chances. The liberal ideal pertains to the american dream as it was originally conceived: The equality of opportunity.
However this does not mean that everyone should simply be left to their own devices. Equality of opportunity can only be achieved when everything needed for a successful career is equally accessible to everyone:
- Transportation
- Education
- Health Care
- Housing
- etc.
That is what welfare should achieve.
Someone with iq 100 from a poor family should at least have somewhat similar opportunity compared to someone with iq 100 from a moderately wealthy family.
I want to agree with this but my experience with the horrible No Child Left Behind Act makes me want to think otherwise. Instead of trying to push the less-gifted kids into becoming as intelligent as the more gifted ones and having everyone be equal, we should be pushing the gifted kids into becoming even smarter. After all, these kids are our next doctors, scientists, astronomers, ect.DaddyCoolVipper wrote:

All of those minus curiosity level, though, from my experience, intelligent people tend to be very curious people themselves (probably because as it's easy for them to learn things, it snowballs into wanting to learn more, whereas with "dumber" people the opposite tends to happen)Blitzfrog wrote:
Define intelligence
Problem Solving?
Learning Speed?
Creativity?
Imagination?
Curiosity Level?
Concentration Abilities?
Or maybe all of those combined?
Well here is what the dictionary says:
The ability to acquire and apply knowledge and skills.
This means applying known knowledge?
What about new knowledge?
How does one measure creativity and imagination abilities?
I'm sticking with the "the bigger the slider the smarter you are"
You can still agree with the principle while criticising how it is carried out. If the No Child Left Behind Act wasn't good enough, then it should be replaced with something better, no? I'm sure a lot of people feel this way about the ACA. Obamacare DEFINITELY was not perfect, but the solution to that would be to fix it and make it better.johnmedina999 wrote:
