Back in the day paint used to have lead as an ingredient, people would use this to paint the inside of tunnels, over passes and buildings and other such things. As the years passed this lead paint peeled away into small chips that could, if one had the predilection, be eaten thus incurring lead poisoning.
Ingesting lead affects the brain especially the ability to process information efficiently thus making one stupider if they consumed enough lead.
Considering the pedantic nature of your comment I assumed that you may have ingested some of these chips and your thought process has slowed down.
Nothing you said has any relation to the claim that lead paint resulted in IQ scores being lower because as I said before. That is literally impossible when the mean of a test result is equal to 100
Did you think you wouldn’t be called out on a lie or were you just ignorant of the claim you were making?
Maybe you were ignorant of time and thought that a 100 year old test would somehow have a ton of historical data from people not exposed to led
Or you were ignorant of age and test bias thinking it fair to compare a 70 year old high school graduate with someone in college
Dude. Stop.
I was using IQ as a comparative device because most people know what that is and thus would be able to understand what I meant.
On average, according to some online sources most people will have an IQ somewhere between 85 and 115 that's a difference of 30 points, or as I called it tens of points.
If humanity would have used less lead it is possible that average could have been substantially higher by tens of points which is a perfectly valid statement considering the 30 point difference in the average.
If humanity would have used less lead it is possible that average could have been substantially higher
Again, no
You don’t understand how averages work
people will have an IQ somewhere between 85 and 115 that’s a difference of 30 points, or as I called it tens of points.
This also shows you don’t understand averages. If you took 10% off everyone’s test then they would all still have the same IQ score
I was using IQ as a comparative device because most people know what that is and thus would be able to understand what I meant.
But you don’t even know what it means
Doubling down after being shown you were ignorant means you are an idiot
Cool. He doesn’t understand what it “means”. We get that. You clearly do. How is intelligence compared between generations then?
You don’t really compare it between generations because you go by age and averages
So when they were your age the average was 100, when you were your age the average was 100
If you are at 100 your whole life but when you turn 70 you’re at 80 then it should be a red flag that something is going on
I know exactly how averages work.
I also know that IQ tests and the IQ standard is not a realistic way of judging intelligence especially in large demographics.
Again, I was using it as a comparative device.
You are being nothing more than pedantic and erroneous at that.
You have done nothing but contradict yourself in this entire exchange.
But, please keep digging that hole.
I was purposely wrong to show how other people are dumb
Isn’t the argument you think it is
Where’s the contradiction?
So you're just making stuff up now?
I know exactly how averages work.
He knows what he was saying was wrong
Again, I was using it as a comparative device.
He was purposely wrong because he wanted to say old people are dumb
Lol! You're just a dumb shit! Now go stand in the corner.
