Current mood on the "low IQ" monicker.

#LowIQ #TheBellCurve

"The Bell Curve" is a highly controversial 1994 book by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray. It purports to show that intelligence is dispositive in the trajectory of each person's life, and that can be used to predict such things as socioeconomic status and tendencies toward criminal behavior.

Much of the research in The Bell Curve is not disputed, but the conclusions drawn from it (low #IQ is to blame for the underclass) are frequently cited by #eugenics and white nationalist movements.

Murray is listed as a scholar for the American Enterprise Institute, which is sponsored by the Kochs. Murray is essentially a right-leaning libertarian who argues that innate individual differences help explain economic inequality.

De mythe van aangeboren IQ: ongenuanceerd en levensgevaarlijk.

> De genen die in de ene studie geassocieerd worden met een hoog IQ blijken in een andere studie, met andere mensen in andere omstandigheden, totaal niet ter zake te doen. Er is geen enkel gen dat elke keer weer opduikt als een belangrijke veroorzaker van verschillen in intelligentie tussen gezonde mensen.
