People are weird. I gave up reasoning with them. "No amount of persistence and practice will let me dunk on Shaq, but high IQ people get dunked on all the time" should be a winner vs people who think genetics determine everything, but neo-eugenicists just don't want to hear it. They have an unreasonable faith in genes.

  > "No amount of persistence and practice will let me dunk on Shaq, but high IQ people get dunked on all the time" should be a winner How so? It seems you're not even speaking their language. Given that in their reality height and IQ are the same thing, your assertion contradicts itself. If no amount of persistence and practice will let you dunk on Shaq, why would tall people get dunked on all the time? Be honest: You haven't really heard anyone claim that height and IQ are the same thing, have you?

It was a friendly gesture to allow you to go back and clear up whatever misconception you picked up when you read it originally. But, as you have chosen to double down, ... > but I won't participate in whatever it is you're trying to do here. Thing is, you already have. On multiple occasions. Now you are blatantly lying. Is that what happened last time too?
