I am merely stating some facts, and my own opinion on the matter, which remains unchanged.
That twitter thread you linked (from a self described “hereditarian”), is very obviously a biased gish-gallop of cherrypicked data. I’m not going to waste my time debunking it all, but to pick one example, he picks exactly one survey which supports his position, while other surveys exist that put the majority against his position. This is why I don’t derive my scientific positions from random twitter threads.
As an addendum, I’m frankly sick of people pretending that there is no reason for people to biased in favour of believing in genetic IQ gaps. Any defender of the status quo will be biased towards this position, because it allows them to argue that the status quo can’t be changed.
