Human Intelligence

Study: "Human intelligence is an important construct in psychology, with far-reaching implications, providing insights into fields as diverse as neurology, international development, and sociology. Additionally, IQ scores can predict life outcomes in health, education, work, and socioeconomic status. Yet, students of psychology are often exposed to human intelligence only in limited ways. ... We found that 79.3% of textbooks contained inaccurate statements and 79.3% had logical fallacies in their sections about intelligence." Dr. Russell Warne is the Associate Professor of Psychology at Utah Valley University, the author of the book “Statistics for the Social Sciences: A General Linear Model Approach” and he recently published a research study titled "What do undergraduates learn about human intelligence? An analysis of introductory psychology textbooks."

The Neuroscience of Intelligence Summary: "Compelling evidence shows that genetics plays a more important role than environment as intelligence develops from childhood, and that intelligence test scores correspond strongly to specific features of the brain assessed with neuroimaging. In understandable language, Richard J. Haier explains cutting-edge techniques based on genetics, DNA, and imaging of brain connectivity and function. He dispels common misconceptions, such as the belief that IQ tests are biased or meaningless, and debunks simple interventions alleged to increase intelligence. Readers will learn about the real possibility of dramatically enhancing intelligence based on neuroscience findings and the positive implications this could have for education and social policy. The text also explores potential controversies surrounding neuro-poverty, neuro-socioeconomic status, and the morality of enhancing intelligence for everyone. Online resources, including additional visuals, animations, questions and links, reinforce the material." Dr. Richard Haier pioneered the use of neuroimaging to study intelligence in 1988, is Professor Emeritus at the University of California, Irvine, is the editor-in-chief of the scientific journal “Intelligence” and author of "The Neuroscience of Intelligence."

"The welfare state has a problem: each generation living under its protection has lower work motivation than the previous one. In order to fix this problem we need to understand its causes, lest the welfare state ends up undermining its own economic and social foundations." "In The Welfare Trait, award-winning personality researcher Dr Adam Perkins argues that welfare-induced personality mis-development is a significant part of the problem. In support of his theory, Dr Perkins presents data showing that the welfare state can boost the number of children born into disadvantaged households, and that childhood disadvantage promotes the development of an employment-resistant personality profile, characterised by aggressive, antisocial and rule-breaking tendencies." "The book concludes by recommending that policy should be altered so that the welfare state no longer increases the number of children born into disadvantaged households. It suggests that, without this change, the welfare state will erode the nation's work ethic by increasing the proportion of individuals in the population who possess an employment-resistant personality profile, due to exposure to the environmental influence of disadvantage in childhood." Dr. Adam Perkins is a Lecturer in the Neurobiology of Personality at King's College London and the author of “The Welfare Trait: How State Benefits Affect Personality.” Book: http://www.fdrurl.com/welfare-trait Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/adamperkinsphd Your support is essential to Freedomain Radio, which is 100% funded by viewers like you.

With significant advances in genetic analysis, genome sequencing and precision gene editing, it’s increasingly likely that embryo selection and genetic engineering will be used to prevent disease and increase the intelligence of future children. Dr. Stephen Hsu joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss human intelligence and the rapidly expanding technology which could soon enable embryo selection for both desirable and undesirable traits. Dr. Stephen Hsu was founder and CEO of SafeWeb, an information security startup acquired by Symantec and is the vice president for research and graduate studies at Michigan State University. Dr. Hsu serves as scientific adviser to BGI (formerly Beijing Genomics Institute), and as a member of its Cognitive Genomics Lab.

Evidence suggesting the biological reality of race and that ethnicity is more than just a social construct is something that few people are willing to honestly discuss. Against all available evidence, many academics insist that human evolution ended in prehistory. Nicholas Wade joins Stefan Molyneux to discuss his book "A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History" and the impact of evolution and selective pressures on human populations. Nicholas Wade was a Science writer and editor with The New York Times and is the author of many books including: “Before the Dawn: Recovering the Lost History of Our Ancestors, ”The Faith Instinct: How Religion Evolved and Why It Endures,” and “A Troublesome Inheritance: Genes, Race and Human History.” A Troublesome Inheritance: http://www.fdrurl.com/Troublesome-Inheritance Before The Dawn: http://www.fdrurl.com/Before-The-Dawn The Faith Instinct: http://www.fdrurl.com/Faith-Instinct Freedomain Radio is 100% funded by viewers like you.

The nature versus nurture debate is one of the oldest and more fiercely debated issues within science. So what exactly is the nature versus nurture debate all about? Do genetic or environmental factors have a greater influence on your behavior? Do inherited traits or life experiences play a greater role in shaping your personality? Dr. Nancy Segal and Stefan Molyneux discuss the reality of the nature vs. nurture debate, the genetic heritability of Intelligence (IQ), personality, sexual orientation and what we have learned from twins studies in this areas. Dr. Nancy Segal is the Professor of Psychology at California State University, and Director of the Twin Studies Center.

When the subject of Intelligence (IQ) is discussed in the mainstream media - hysteria and slander from journalists often trumps the available science.

In continuing our discussion on Human Intelligence and the predictive powers of IQ, Charles Murray joins the broadcast to discuss the latest science regarding ethnic and gender differences in intelligence. Charles Murray is a political scientist, author, and libertarian. He first came to national attention in 1984 with the publication of "Losing Ground," which has been credited as the intellectual foundation for the Welfare Reform Act of 1996. His 1994 New York Times bestseller, "The Bell Curve," coauthored with the late Richard J. Herrnstein, sparked heated controversy for its analysis of the role of IQ in shaping America's class structure.

Dr. James R. Flynn is emeritus professor of political studies at the University of Otago in Dunedin, New Zealand and author, most recently, of What is Intelligence? Beyond the Flynn Effect. Flynn is best known for the Flynn effect, the continued year-on-year rise of IQ scores in all parts of the world. Flynn’s research combines political and moral philosophy with psychology to clarify problems such as justifying humane ideals and whether it makes sense to rank races and classes by merit. __________________ Watch The Video: Bitchute: https://www.bitchute.com/video/ctbZjLuRFZyk/ Odysee: https://lbry.tv/@freedomain:b/human-intelligence-the-flynn-effect:8
