Poverty and violence causes mental and physical health problems. Fix poverty if you want educated and intelligent citizens.
- cjbgkagh 5y agoI agree there is room for improvement, however intelligence appears to largely genetic. Studies put it at 40-80%, I’m of the view that it’s at the high end of that. If the mechanism was better understood then it may be possible to induce higher intelligence even in those who don’t have the genetic predisposition.
- Hokusai 5y ago40% is not largely but the opposite. It means that it's largely not genetic.
- cjbgkagh 5y ago40% is not the median of the studies which appear to have it at 70%. I’m of the view that it’s 80%+. I think there are some improvements that can be made to the studies but I have not had a good enough reason to redo their math.

According to Japan's Health Ministry statistics, as of May 2017, 16% of Japanese children live below the poverty line.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Japan https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poverty_in_Japan
