It really isnt all that much. Its not insignificant but its easily doable. Would only require a few mins every day. Lets say he tweeted 7k times in 8 years... That is an average of 2.4 tweets a day. If he was having a debate/discussion with someone at 140 chars per tweet (Or 280), and Sam can be quite verbose, I am guessing he might have fired a few dozen of them per conversation.

Sam "a year is a long time with no vacation" Harris

It's really simple. As a Puerto Rican from New York with a mom who was a teenage mom and a sister who is a teenage mom, it has to do with culture and what is and isn't acceptable in different cultures. The fact of the matter is that in Hispanic American and black American culture, there are a lot of bad bad habits that exist. One of those being people thinking that it's okay to start having children very young and not prioritize things like school. It's not because we're dumb or we can't go to school or we don't have money. It has to do with culturally accepted norms in our communities. If enough of your friends are having kids before they even graduate high school you're going to think that it's okay too. If your parents don't have more than a high school education you're not going to really see the need to go to college. That being said I think college is becoming more and more obsolete and most degrees don't even pay well. But the bottom line is that it is cultural differences that are the reasons for many communities successes or failures. You're not going to see pregnant 15 year old Chinese girls in NYC. Even if their parents came from nothing and they're living in the ghetto. And you better bet that that kid is going to do well in school even if she's going to the same crappy school that a bunch of black and Latino kids are going to. It is CULTURE. And the more people ignore this and choose not to talk about it the more bad things will continue to happen in Black and Hispanic neighborhoods. I've always said that you could build a brand new shiny beautiful School in the ghetto but if the kids who go there do not appreciate it and value it it's not going to make a difference. And this is for all the "progressives" who think everything is about racism. It's not. Culture and socially acceptable behavior in communities plays the biggest role in how people's lives will turn out. If black celebrities like LeBron James spent half their time talking about how young black men need to stay off the streets and finish school, that would make a hell of a bigger difference than him constantly whining about racism. I've had several family members involved in gang violence. My mom's uncle was found dead in the park. I've also had family members die from drug-related AIDS etc. The problems that exist in our communities can be solved with a cold hard look at our own behavior and how we are raising our children.

Calls for an ethnostate are overblown, but some political measures would be useful to reduce the IQ disparity between different groups. This would reduce "statistical racism" and allow the left to focus on more constructive pursuits once differences in income and incarceration rates became less pronounced. And you don't need to do much to reduce differences; IQ variation is mostly hereditary in nature, so all you need to do is to incentivize high-IQ individuals of minorities to produce more children.

@@kchannel5317 It is impossible. I was addressing pursuing equality of opportunity through government policy. "Equal opportunity" will likely never exist. It's a fine goal to push towards equality of opportunity if we set the bar at the highest level of opportunities. Anything less than that asks a person with more opportunities to diminish their opportunities. This is why I prefer "maximizing opportunity" as to not conflate my philosophy with that of somebody who wants to "tear somebody else down so we can be equal". If a rich person can afford to send their kid to all the best schools and pours all of their resources into the child, how would a child of a single parent household in the ghetto be able to get "equal opportunities"? I think we both agree government coercion is not the answer. Even if the rich person pours an equal amount of resources into another child, is it still equal in opportunity? Even among siblings, the opportunities are not "equal" as siblings are treated differently, treat each other differently, and simply are different with varying skill sets. I know I seem to be arguing semantics regarding the word equal, but I think it's important to not focus on making everybody equal (except under the law which we know is not the case) and better to focus on maximizing the opportunities each person can get. This includes getting people to volunteer resources to maximizing other's opportunities.

I can absolutely understand why people don’t want these discussions to take place. These facts are some of the most uncomfortable buts of objective truth that we could possibly discover about the reality in which we all exist. It just feels wrong. But this is a painful aspect of being the conscious, self-examining products of this neutral universe: there are things that we could and will discover about ourselves and our broader reality that are really, deeply unpleasant. And I understand why people might be concerned about the social and cultural consequences of the widespread knowledge and understanding of these facts. Those are, in my opinion, completely legitimate fears. That being said, it’s not gonna do to start trying to insist that uncomfortable facts be ignored and rejected, and it is most certainly not acceptable to try to punish those who discover these uncomfortable facts or discuss them. That is a disturbing, totalitarian method of engaging with the truth that just can’t be supported or allowed to continue. I do think it’s probably important to recognize and validate the fears of those who might be tempted to suppress discussion of subjects like this though. To pretend like they’re at all unreasonable seems foolish to me. If I was a black man listening to talks on this subject, I would probably be a little worried and feel a little bit threatened, my own iq aside. This data has got to be any real racist’s dream- it seems to confirm some aspects of some really significant, ugly stereotypes that have had a long run as justifications for real racism.

I think reaching out to people means more to Matt than his feelings. I would be very shocked if it was the other way around after watching Matt for so long.

The dangers of discovering new research/potential for research between differences in group is that at some point unintentionally it will become a matter of who's better or worse within a group of people based on research,that of which is manipulated into "we're x group so y group is lesser" which happened in the history many times (the 30's-40's are the best documented case of such a thing of occuring). Another danger is WHO is conducting the research because they themselves can abuse or accidentally incriminate themselves into being a target/targeted individual for the rught or wrong reasons (such as the main guest)

johnny cake Facts have to be right.

Binet (the inventor of the test) stressed the limitations of the test, suggesting that intelligence is far too broad a concept to quantify with a single number. Instead, he insisted that intelligence is influenced by a number of factors, that it changes over time, and that it can only be compared to children with similar backgrounds. IQ tests gauge symbolic logic only. Intelligence is far too multifaceted - there are too many variables. Your environment plays the most important part. Example, “Some” Asians for example go to school, AFTER regular school is complete for hours, then once home, it is back to studying. There are upsides to this kind of lifestyle; one of those being the ability to breeze through IQ test - a downside could be social awkwardness etc.

This is precisely the point about IQ tests, they evaluate most of the factors that help you succeed in modern society, but if you don't live in a modern society you will score badly. It evaluates human factors that are affected by environmental and social factors like nutrition, health care and education... discovering 3rd world nations have lower IQ only indicates what a role environment plays on average intelligence over generations.

Daniel Harrington honestly I never comment only about 8000 this year lol. But seriously IQ is actually taken at very young ages. Mine was taken at age 8. ( sometimes) I had very humble beginnings and surprisingly I scored actually very high. I say actually because I didn’t have very much structured higher learning. So I don’t think it has initially anything to do with work ethic or discipline and certainly not towards goals because I was 8. I don’t know if that’s what you were trying to say but I thought I’d add a little unknown perspective. Side note. I do think that it manifests itself in different areas like art and such. Math and art is where I seem to excel. But I do like your thought process on this topic. Made me really look at it in a different light.

If the canary stopped tweeting or passed out, the miners knew to get out coz danger was imminent ( idioms.thefreedictionary.com/canary+in+a+coal+mine ). In this metaphor, Murray is supposed to be the proverbial canary in the "coalmine" of society, warning us of the imminent toxicity of closing down debate.

@Not Today yes, indeed he is, which is why i also commented to this video another comment with the following statement: Just to put it out there (again) ...race has no biological basis. This topic has been done to death: all the way from Ashley Montagu's "Man’s Most Dangerous Myth: The Fallacy of Race" back in 1942 through to Angela Saini's recent "Superior: The Return of Race Science: The Mad Science of Race and its Fatal Return" in 2019. You'd have to be a total fool not to see what's wrong with Charles Murray and his arguments. And no, i don't think he's a rampant proponent of white supremacy per se, but he ends up pandering to it, whether he intends to or not. We are responsible for the predictable outcomes of our actions and Charles Murray knew the consequences of his actions; that's why he recommends policy and sits on the board of conservative think tanks. and Sam i-call-myself-a-neuroscientist-but-am-actually-a-trust-fund-religious-studies-graduate Harris totally panders to it, seemingly because he spends more time reading The Bell Curve (a highly discredited, 40 years out of date rag by a non-expert conservative lobbyist) than he does reviewing the contemporary literature on the topic that's coming out on a month by month basis in scientific journals, much of which is genuinely interesting. some "neuroscientist", lol.

Twin studies would be very helpful for this, though there are ethical issues that make them rather unlikely. Hypothetically though, if you compared the IQ differences of twins raised in the same environment vs the IQ differences between twins with one raised in a slum and the other raised in privilege, you could get a pretty good estimate for the degree to which genetics contribute to IQ.

It is also possible that there exist specific environmental factors that contribute to differences between groups but not to individual differences within groups so that they are not captured by twin studies.

Regarding "black Africa", I'd say they made a bigger mistake in "accepting" Islam. Then again, there wasn't much choice involved.
