Sperm banks select highly-educated males (i.e. recruiting at Stanford and Harvard) for sperm donors, so it seems obvious that most people know there is a hereditary component.
- haihaibye 5y agoLikewise a "Darwin award" only makes sense if you know intelligence is heritable.
- HKH2 5y agoHaha! Is the heritability of stupidity the same as the heritability of intelligence?
- ggggtez 5y agoSperm banks select highly educated donors because clients are willing to pay for it. That's all. You are describing capitalism. It's not like these clients are running double blind studies in their wombs.
- f1refly 5y agoYes, and people are willing to pay for it because they believe in the hereditary component, so that believe must be present in the broad population.
- rejectedandsad 5y agoThis is true, and why people like me are considered inherently unworthy. You’re both saying the same thing?
- lm28469 5y agoGoing to Stanford or Harvard doesn't mean you're genetically superior though, there are a lot of other things selecting people who go there before ""intelligence""
- globular-toast 5y agoYeah and Christians don't follow the word of Christ and live like there is no future after they are dead. Watch what people do, don't listen to what they say.
