I'm wondering how the OP feels about environmental activism

[Naez 4.20]

I am a fan of living in the environment, but the species has already fucked up the Gulf, Ozone layer, and you can go on what else at this point just let it ride

option 3, fuck this fake science, iq levels measure intelligence as well as standardized tests do. and im fucking plat blonde blue eyes white, if anyone should be calling racist shots its me pure as a driven fuckin snow. lol but yeah quibble over differences when 99 percent of us probably have mixed blood.. yeeah that seems REAL intelligent to me.

If it was fake, you wouldn't see study after study coming to the same conclusions:


Ecological correlations between IQ, skin color, temperature and GDP per capita

The researchers (Donald Templer and Hiroko Arikawa) computed the correlations between the predominant skin color in 129 nations, GDP per capita, high and low mean temperatures in the summer and winter, and skin color. The correlation between predominant skin color and population IQ was ? 0.92!

For those not familiar with correlation coefficients, these range in magnitude from 0 (no correlation) to 1 (perfect correlation).

actually correlation can range from -1 (perfect inverse correlation) to 1 (perfect direct correlation).

although it looks like you were banned (good riddance) it is pretty evident that you don't know anything about statistics, especially correlations. the first thing you learn about correlations is how correlation in no way means causation. in this case, all that bullshit you've been spewing about skin color and GDP does not cause IQs to be lower. also, as diggles already pointed out, correlation goes from -1 to 1. good hustle out there chief, take a seat on the bench. go back to the under the bridge you came from.

lol @ pretending like a .92 correlation for 129 different nations means nothing.

Sure, if you only studied 3-4, you might be able to claim that, but not 129. It's a valid trend line at the very least that would be used to create a hypothesis (that most liberals would not like) for further testing.
