Not only did I read them, I used 2 of them in citations.
And no, everyone knows "I'll bet a million dollars" is a figure of speech. If you can prove you weren't lying about the 10% heritably that you not only stated as a fact, but complained that "scientific racism" was deliberately neglecting to mention, then I will in fact donate $150 to charity. Quite frankly, I figured you HAD found such a quote, and I really just wanted you to cite it properly so I could see it. I considered the money already spent, and for a good cause, too.
It was only after you tap-danced around it for about 5 posts that I realized you might just be making shit up. I still hope that's not the case, because while I think you're a dick, and argue like one, I've never actually thought you might straight-up lie.

Yeah, no shit.

Go figure.
bennyboy post #618 Wrote:My current inclination is to hope that even though IQ after puberty is said by most psychologists to be about 75% or 80% due to heritability, that black children are so disadvantaged that serious developmental issues (damage due to drug use, malnutrition and so on) is snowballing. Because if so, then we could attack problems of poverty, drug use, and so on, and hope to yield an improvement in scores, in income, and in quality of life.
