  • Of course. Humans are not clones. As long as they are not there is some variance due to physiological inherited factors.

    That being said a lot of intelligence can be trained.

    And a lot of it is culturally loaded. Im sure the average paleolithic hunter gatherer was smarter than me because they have to constantly solve complex problems. While people today rely on civilization to take on the load.

    We dont actually do t need to be that intelligent know a days. And actually very few people relly care about it. For example there is some disiese going around that has about 7% chance of leaving you mentally handicapped. And you can catch it reapeatedly. No one really cares. Because they never came to a situation were their inherent intelligence was the bottleneck to solve a problem. Once eventually everyone loses 10or 20% of their intelligence they will still be fine.

    So most of these asholes going woe is me im so samart. 1-Are not really that smart. 2-inherent phisiological limitations to cognitive avility have never been an actual limitation in their lives.

    The iq is bullshit in the sense the the tests are bullshit. Only the part testing working memory relates to those innate charachteristics.




  • They once had me take one of those horoscopes and one part of it was a rorschach test. How is that not quakery.

    Another part was to have me write a short text wich fair enough.

    fill in mulltiple choise questions that were deliveratly obtuse and ambigous.

    The only part that i would expect to corrrelaete with intelligence was when i had to memorize a string of numbers and repeat it after a while. But even then this is an ability you can train.

    I agree with your second point. But it would seem that normaly the languages that are spoken primarily by people that learnned them as second languages would become more simplified.

    For example english speakers say ate instead of eated wich would be the logical choice. If enough peaole learn it as a second language so that it becomes eated then the language becomes simpler.

    And then tend to become complicated again as the speakers develop ideosincracies. But if there is a mechanism preventing this, for example its spoken over a wide area so the ideosyncracies never stick. Or the speakers are constantly interacting with forengers or both. Then the languaged gramar would remainsimple.

    Persian gramar is much easier to learn than russian or spanish. And i asume chinise is likewise easier.
