Intelligence has the greatest impact on socio-economic status and subsequent life outcomes. You're as usual, making excuses and choosing to be wilfully ignorant of an obvious cause-effect. Those web articles outline unbiased research which you still can't apparently comprehend because you have reached a forgone conclusion, and are immune to common sense. Instead relying on a leftist narrative that conflates socio-economics as the single most defining factor in life outcomes.

Tldr: You are lazy at research and expect Snopes to spoonfeed you low Iq rebuttals.

Intelligence has the greatest impact on socio-economic status and subsequent life outcomes.

You see this is actually fine. I know intelligence is important. It could very well be the single most important. As written above, I wouldn't have taken issue.

It's just that you instead took a different position, one that you appear to have given up defending: that differences in intelligence between races explains the vast majority of disparity in life outcomes. That position was what I found objectionable, and your belief that it was a scientifically sound position delusional.

that differences in intelligence between races explains the vast majority of disparity in life outcomes.

If certain races/ethnic groups maintain an average and predictable intelligence, it will follow that this intelligence predicates an average socio-economic, and life outcome. Exceptions and outliers apply everywhere, yet on average is true.

I found objectionable

You have an emotionally invested interest in this, which often doesn't lead to sound conclusions. It's important to ask ourselves why we have an emotional attachment to a belief, and what would it mean if that were changed.

I used to think like you too. I was exposed to the same narrative. I saw too many incongruencies and patterns via experiential knowledge. And I objectively went looking for the answer. I didn't find what I wanted to find, and I didn't like it, but the pieces fit...almost perfect. What I found was certainly "closer to the truth" than the explanations that were forced into our heads our whole lives.

Despite you being a cringe tier redditor, I still like you well enough, Fedi. When you're trying, I appreciate your generally well thought out responses.
