minus-squaretrashgirlfriend@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·7 months agoWell, you claimed that children of parents with higher IQ have more successful children. I pointed out that this is largely due to social factors, to which you replied a non sequitur about how intelligence has a genetic component. From that, a reasonable person would assume that you believe that genetics is a major component of IQ, and not just a small contributing factor.
minus-squarevga@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·edit-27 months ago Well, you claimed that children of parents with higher IQ have more successful children. That wasn’t my first claim. My first claim was that IQ predicts success. I pointed out that this is largely due to social factors, to which you replied a non sequitur about how intelligence has a genetic component. Then I went here because you brought up parents. So not a non-sequitur but a specific reply to your comment. From that, a reasonable person would assume that you believe that genetics is a major component of IQ, and not just a small contributing factor. When I specifically said it’s not clear how big of a factor it is. So no, I don’t think a reasonable person would assume that.
