[13of13] Some of the main lines of independent evidence for the Ashkenazi Jewish cognitive profile & (verbal) IQ advantage being ~100 % genetic in origin & the main cause of their disproportionate achievements in many highly competed intellectual domains

"“testing results regularly show that math students in the United States are lagging behind those in other industrialized nations...within the country, there is a persistent racial gap in achievement.”"

Same in Finland despite of equalizing education (!)

How would progressives feel if policies would eliminate e.g. overrepresentation of blacks in top-level college & national basketball & American football leagues? In track & field sprints? In hip-hop?

Jews & Asians in universities? Oh, sorry, it's been done already.
@JimDMiller never disappoints w/ his rigorous reasoning:

"For selfish reasons, I wish that there really were no such thing as natural giftedness in children, because then I’d be able to attribute my son’s extraordinary math ability to my own parenting skill, and educators..."

Arthur R. Jensen on Eysenck (hanseysenck.com by @KirkegaardEmil):
“Eysenck was a kind of genius...or at least a person of very unusual talents, and the only person of that unusual caliber that I have come across in the field of psychology."

amren.com/news/2018/10/a…
"Still, Prof. Jensen did not abandon his conventional beliefs in the power of environment to raise or lower intelligence, and went on to publish 30 papers and build a non-controversial reputation before he finally concluded that Eysenck and Burt were right."
"In 1969 he shocked the country with his famous Harvard Educational Review article, “How Much Can We Boost IQ and Scholastic Achievement?” This 123-page paper, which demolished the view that proper instruction could raise children’s IQs, may have been the most sensational..."

"That their [fraternal twins who grew up together] IQ scores...differ significantly more than those of identical twins who didn’t even grow up in the same family suggests that heredity is more important than environment in determining IQ."
"studies have shown that the IQs of adopted children are closer to those of their biological parents than to those of their foster parents...in a family whose children are all adopted, there will be a greater variation in IQ than in a family whose children are all biological."
"Test data show that for every social and economic class, if a son has a higher IQ than his father he is likely to move up and if his IQ is lower he is likely to move down. IQ thus appears to affect social class more than the reverse."

It's remarkable that compared to #NYTimes who reads like a notebook of evolution denier Lysenko, Stalin's favored "scientist", #AmericanReneissance reads like a peer reviewed science journal as for content, arguments, & accuracy in #HBD (human biodiversity) related content (!).
Having read tens of AmRen articles, I've not discovered pure racisim. It's been scientifically informed, utilitarian & logical albeit at times blunt population level analysis & worry about the West's outgroup favoritism - not discrimination against any given individual.
I'm finding their human biodiversity articles - many written by true giants in the fields of relevant sciences - and book reviews very high quality. They DO NOT DISTORT UNDERLYING SCIENCE. That's most important, regardless of their ideas of what to do based on those common facts.

"deaf children get low scores on verbal intelligence tests. However, they get normal scores on non-verbal tests and by the time they are adults they have overcome most of the verbal deficit."
"children with catastrophic motor disabilities, who lead lives that are severely restricted by any definition, apparently have higher tested intelligence levels than blacks who are not physically handicapped."
"Perhaps the greatest direct assault on the environmentalist view comes from biology and physiology. As early as the 1960s, it was discovered that many mental illnesses are best treated with drugs. This instantly invalidated convoluted psychoanalytic theories about the..."
