I Used To Be A Fan But I Am Now Shocked, Disgusted And Appalled With Sam Harris

Ultimate Capacity For Understanding ™ is what I call intelligence and that does indeed seem entirely genetic to me and have nothing to do with upbringing (upbringing can help unlock that capacity but the capacity itself is innate) but it seems completely random between the races. Intelligence is too complex to be measured accurately but I simply use common sense to tell quite easily that if there is any difference it's too negligible to even be worth discussing.

It seems contradictory to say something is too complex to be measured accurately but it's also easy to use common sense to tell that there's not much difference between measurements.

If it's too complex to be measured with accuracy what method are you using for measurement to come to an accurate conclusion?

Intelligence is generally defined as understanding, learning, application of knowledge, expression, creativity, forward planning.

There are over represented groups in fields where intellect is a prime requisite for success, Jews and Asians for instance when it comes to Nobel prize winners, finance, academic achievements, careers in science and technology, law, media and entertainment, comedians, entrepreneurial success, medical fields, sales.

Not just in America or any specific country, with Jews especially this is especially true.  This is where the ideas of a Jewish conspiracy come from which I think is nonsense, I think they're just simply clever.

It's not really random in the sense that they're over represented in all of those fields, in a various countries and all of those fields require complex understanding, learning, creativity, forward planning, application of knowledge and so on.

At the very least, to me, it would seem to require more than common sense to come to a conclusion of near enough complete equality between racial groups and intelligence.

My point being purely that it's understandable to say race and intelligence are complex issues, but seemingly illogical to me to say it's easily observable by common sense to observe races are all equally intelligent.
