From your own source "While maybe half of our intelligence as we currently define and measure it is inherited."
So the author admits that probably half of intelligence is inherited. Seems obvious then that education, economic status, environment etc. while contributing are substantially less important that genetics.
- cmiles74 8y agoIt sounds like you are arguing that manipulating genetics is an easier way to encourage intelligence then education and environment. Is that really what you are trying to say? Because that sounds ridiculous to me.
- darwin142 8y agoReally? Care to point out which part of "Seems obvious then that education, economic status, environment etc. while contributing are substantially less important that genetics" implies that I think manipulating genes is easier than changing education or environment?

- cmiles74 8y agoYes, that's the quote that led me to my conclusion. ;-)
