Can someone give me a run down on this book? Sounds like it's pretty inflammatory, but at the same time I've heard the science holds up. Is it a redpill? Should I buy it?
I normally stick to history books and biographies.
The Bell Curve
Meme book dont read
It's a shit book. Also, nowhere does the book address WHY it investigates racial differences in IQ. By never spelling out a reason for reporting on these differences in the first place the authors kind of transmit very grim and dangerous ideas if this book gets into the wrong hands.
This.
It's a 500 pg long textbook that documents the importance of IQ compared to a variety of different variables. IQ is a better predictor of success and poverty than being born into a higher socioeconomic status. This book is a quality work, anyone who says otherwise is a shitskin or idiot.
Why do you guys enfoce the jewish conspiracy meme.
It's an omnipresent enemy that's an easy scapegoat.
Wow, such a typical jew response.
I own it, it's shit. And I love statistics.
>Poor people are dumb
>Niggers and spics are dumb
I saved you the read.
Oh, so because I have an Israeli flag then I must be Jewish? Wake up, faggot.

How about pursuit of the truth as for reason why? Gas yourself Azi
Pretty good information but honestly been done better since, and there's more data now to cover.
You could honestly just read everything on The Alternative Hypothesis website and be more up-to-date scientifically redpilled than from reading it.
thealternativehypothesis.org
you willingly surround yourself with kikes? no wonder you don't like the bell curve, you're an idiot.
It just proves Jews are a master race.
No, because that was so typically jewish. Facts don't matter if they don't specify the purpose of finding them. It might transmit dangerous and grim ideas... gtfo kike.
>By never spelling out a reason for reporting on these differences in the first place the authors kind of transmit very grim and dangerous ideas if this book gets into the wrong hands.
Way to paraphrase the Foreword, kike. I see you.
It's really hard to get into but if you skim around there's some decent chapters.
poor shitskin detected

This is solid advice as well. There's also many videos to go along with his works if you don't have the attention span to read
It was a decent read, but it's extremely long for the information it conveys.
In a nutshell: IQ is a better predictor for criminality, civility, work efficiency, likelihood to neglect your children (not necessarily abuse interestingly), [...] than social status.
That's basically it. If you want to waste 20-30 hours of your life looking at graphs, tables and VERY detailed explanations so you can claim to have read it yourself, knock yourself out.
The very last chapter is about race and they basically cuck out by saying that if the mean black IQ is lower because of environmental factors then these environmental factors can't seem to be changed instead of simply admitting that it's most likely genetics in lieu of another explanation.
has not read the book btw.
I actually prefer reading paper books and marking pages/passages. I don't like audiobooks, I find it's too easy to skim over important information and not enough time to absorb pertinent facts. Spending a week reading a good informative book beats listening to a 6 hour mp3 every time in my opinion.

I learned to read some. I read the Bell Curve quite a bit. I can't understand all of it, but I reckon I understand a good deal of it. Them stories Jow Forums an Stormfront told me ain't in there. You ought not done that to a boy. I studied on killing niggers Studied on it quite a bit. But I reckon there ain't no need for it if all their gonna do is smoke crack and wait for dem programs. They'll be dead soon enough and the world 'll be shut of 'em.
you sound like you just read a Cormack McCarthy novel
non-whites are dumb, with the exception of some jews and east asians.
Women have less variability than men, basically meaning there's more dumb men than dumb women, but also more smart men than smart women, the smartest 100 people in the world are all men, the dumbest 100 people in the world are men.
IQ is largely genetic, as shown in twin studies, twins separated at birth have basically the same IQ, even if one gets a lesser education or has an abusive household and so on.
High IQ is an indicator of a successful life. (You want it to be high.)
That's all you need to know about IQ, you're welcome.
is there any correlation between IQ and depression?
hold on a second...I thought the argument against eugenics (mostly the part about sterilizing the retarded and habitual criminals to benefit society) was that genetics do NOT play a significant role in determining intelligence?

Yes, but not in the Bell Curve
Genetics account for roughly 60-80% of the variance in IQ. So yeah, genetics play the most significant role in intelligence.
Chinks and Jews are smarter than Whites
Spics are dumber than whites and niggers are dumber than spics
Now you know what it's about
You courd be excused for believing that 30 or maybe 20 years ago but new research has really cemented the fact that IQ is primarily a result of genetics, at least in the US or other parts of the first world
fuck you and your advertisement you fucking shill
Are you saying state enforced sterilization of undesirables is a valid government policy in this day and age?
look at 1927 US supreme court decision
