Later, another scientist repeated the test, but with photographs of rocks from areas the Aborigines were familiar with. The Aborigines crushed the test, doing far better than their counterparts. Scientists know their work has limitations and always seek to improve their methods. Non-scientists have a result and search for the data to support it.

_"The first laughable criteria is that IQ does not measure intelligence. It measures culture more than one's ability to think. And because intelligence has so many qualities, it cannot be quantified in one general test."_ You're close, but not quite there. IQ (intelligence quotient) tests are designed to measure certain cognitive abilities and skills, such as: 1. Fluid reasoning - The ability to think logically, identify patterns, and solve problems in novel situations. 2. Knowledge - Acquired knowledge from education and exposure to information. 3. Quantitative reasoning - The ability to understand and solve mathematical and numerical problems. 4. Visual-spatial processing - The ability to analyze and process visual details and spatial relationships. 5. Working memory - The ability to temporarily store and manipulate information in the mind. It's true that IQ tests have limitations and don't measure all aspects of human intelligence. Factors like emotional intelligence, creativity, wisdom, and practical skills are not fully captured by IQ scores. Additionally, IQ can be influenced by education, socioeconomic status, and cultural factors. While IQ scores can provide an estimate of certain cognitive abilities, they should not be taken as a definitive or comprehensive measure of one's overall intelligence or potential for success in life.

@@RichardHarlos No. I am acurate and you are reading a designed defintion that is programming you to be wrong. Let's try this as proof. We discover two civiliations in outer space. Both have advanced technologies above our own. How do we determine which civilization is more intelligent? Some type of awkward test? No. It's going to be by some subjective judgement comparing it to the base knowledge we posssess. But how good is our own base knowledge if they have advanced technologies? End of debate. Western culture has dumbed you down, not made you smarter.

I lived 1997 for some time in South Africa, and visited 2011/12 again. Especially in 1997 I met some white south Africans who tried to explain this way of thinking to me, that we europeans just wouldn't understand but that it would be a fact...and I also met (and actually learned from) very bright black south africans. And I remember being in a train from Cape town to Johannesburg and a white woman not entering the compartment because there was a coloured and a black woman sitting there with me...And that was the time when Musk was a young adult. Grown up in Apartheid, in a family that gained a lot from it, and feeling superior.

Musk is from South Africa and hangs out with Trump - yeah, not a surprise

Remember his roots. It is steeped in Apartheid ideology. Never mind that his family were victims of a robbery during that era. You reap what you sow.

I keep telling y’all he’s a rich white man from South Africa.. It’s only a matter of time before his racist past catches up with him…🤔 Acting like he is over here, I can only imagine how he was behaving over there in South Africa!

my life is so blessed because my very first friend ever, before first grade was by black neighbor, same age as me really hard to develop ignorant misconstruals about black people, when he was practically my brother my entire childhood and now my whole life I don't have this troubling fictional problem, which is really a psychological race complex

elon musk: so deficient that he thinks *elon musk* is smart

Musk is not the only high profile person spreading racist tropes. An even more successful racist - Donald Trump.

What is sad is the willing audience [people like Musk find. It seems there will always be people who are eager to put others down. Imagine living a life where the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making others feel worse. The only way you can feel worthwhile is by saying others are worthless. Often seems coupled with an inability to express any emotion other than anger.

Thank you

Elon bows to Twitter user Cat Turd. That's where Elon is at these days.

Ya, I'm a biologist and we know there is no such thing as race. Phenotype is the term to describe the differences between people from different areas of the globe. Brief periods of reproductive isolation lead to differences in the populations but IQ isn't necessarily one of those characteristics. But- it can be in populations exposed to toxic environmental variables...say like lead in paint in historically impoverished neighborhoods, methyl mercury contamination in regions with pulp and paper production ( first nations reserves for example). Current research indicates a possible causal relationship between air pollution ( like in urban areas) and reductions in intelligence.

IQ testing is a flawed metric for determining intelligence. The IQ test can only be 'passed' or 'excelled' by someone who is familiar with the subject matter in the test and the language of the test. People who share the same background as the person who made the test would obviously score higher marks. Intelligence is learned through your environment. We learn what we need to navigate the places and spaces that we frequent. A child from the inner city may be more adept at reading faces to determine friend or foe. They may know their neighborhood back-to-front to know where to hide if a strange person is chasing them. They may know the best way to fend off a rabid dog. This intelligence is more useful to them than pointing out a divan from a commode whilst identifying the colloquial names couch and toilet.

Elon seems to genuinely think wealth = intellect, which I can understand. If your entire success was based off the random chance of tech and the ability to be born wealthy you might want to ascribe to a philosophy that justifies having obscene levels of wealth. Here's someone who could spent 0.01% of his net wealth and save thousands of lives but doesn't want to. If he can't convince himself he's the best person to have that wealth he's just a guy who got lucky and who should be doing something better with his life. As an aside he's also a terrible business owner. He deconstructed subways up invent a go cart ride for Teslas that is incredibly inefficient, costly and involves workers being exposed to unreasonable levels of work place safety violations. That's the kind of idiocy he gets to to on his own. The way American business culture works there's very little punishment for being a toxic boss so he's fine. But again it speaks to this same mentality, since he's wealthy he must be right. "Trust me I'm going to invent cave tunnels that make no sense if you understand anything about the problem and I'll defame the people who do understand the issues" isn't the outlook of someone who recognizes their limitations. So this nonsense fits perfectly into reinforcing his self delusion. Since he also doesn't have the background or intellect to understand complex issues outside his limited field of expertise he can't figure out why it's stupid. And even better it fits his new hypocritical free speech warrior self image. He didn't waste billions of dollars he's saving society through his anti intellectual understanding of free speech where everyone gets it, unless it occurs on another website, costs him money or hurts his ego. Then it doesn't count. In his mind if he can find something "anti woke" that justifies destroying his relationship with at least one of his children and spending money he didn't want to then it will be all worth it because he'll gain the respect he thinks he deserves. Because he's rich which means he must be better than all his critics afterall.

For anybody that doesn't know pseudo means false. Calling something pseudo-science or pseudo-religion or pseudo-jaywalking is literally just calling it false, like un-science or un-religion or un-jaywalking or false-science or false-religion or false-jaywalking.

Just because Musk has an ability to (perhaps addiction to?) making money, why do people assume he's intelligent? The amount of money you have does not automatically make you smart. The more we get to know him (Musk), the more we see how flawed he is.

Maybe, the government should take twitter away from Elon. I've never, and never will, use it, but even I realize the impact of the platform.

He was an Apartheid Baby (pre-Nelson Mandela South Africa). Read "Inequality by Design" written at the time "The Bell Curve" came out. IBD talks about how environment like living in a physically toxic environment full of lead and other heavy metals can reduce one's IQ. Also IQ is plastic. The more education you have the higher your IQ becomes. Also read "A Terrible Thing to Waste" which goes into detail about IQ altering pollution. Not only was Musk raised in a state that made this official policy but he is doing it to get a rise out of people thinking that all publicity is good. If you are in the market for an Electric Vehicle there are more to choose from and the market is expanding all the time.

I have always maintained that Musk was both ignorant and dangerous. A person can be a scientific/business/math genius and still be ignorant. In Musk's case he believes that wealth = clever. And so do millions of stupid people. A really clever person KNOWS that clever = control. But will never tell anyone that secret.
