Taleb responds:
"Country IQ" is something similar to the Protocols of the Sages of Zion, an invention by neo-Nazis/Barbarian supremacists; it has no backing but spreads like wildfire among the Nordic supremacists.https://t.co/JQWE1mCYK8— Nassim Nicholas Taleb (@nntaleb) October 8, 2019

ReplyDeleteTaleb is entirely correct, of course. As usual.
ReplyDeleteMolyneaux doesn't do himself any favors with libertarians when he does stuff like this. It's such a collectivist mentality to use these statistics to make any point.
ReplyDeleteHard to argue with Protect ourselves let the world be the world, IQ aside!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair, "Steve Jobs is Syrian" does not counter the statistics Molyneaux sites, as it is anecdotal. While the real debate should focus on honing in on the many possible explanations for these statistics (that have been reproduced multiple times), the emotional outburst displayed by Taleb demonstrates that he is incapable of objectivity on the subject.
