So there’s a contradiction in how “we” (who specifically do you mean?) talk about iq. And from that you conclude what? That iq is genetic? That’s bad reasoning

That’s bad reasoning. It doesn’t say anything about what the truth is to observe that we’re mixed up about it. The truth is out there in the real world, not socially constructed.

- philosopher1234 3y agoSure, they could be. The evidence doesn’t bear that out as a primary cause, but it’s possible to the best of my knowledge.
