>>29581449>>29581572Let's say for example, that we have two kids:
Johnny with an IQ of 130
and Billy with an IQ of 140
Johnny is privileged and learns various langauges, learns music, gets a PHd in Physics, etc.
Billy is poor and just fucks around in his farm until he's 40.
Under my definition of Intelligence Johnny is smarter than Billy, if intelligence is mental ability then Johnny is able to do complex math problems, able to understand Latin, able to compose a symphony. As you can see his "mental capacities" are greater, there isn't anything Billy can do that Johnny can't.
And yet under your definition of intelligence Billy is smarter, because if they had had the same opportunities, then Billy would have outperformed Johnny.
Even though now at age 40, no matter how many all-nighters Billy pulls he will never be on par with Johnny.
Can you see why your IQ dogma is wrong? Johnny is more mentally capable, able to learn faster thanks to his experiences in learning too, and yet for you Billy is smarter.
