I don't get it, why is he posting a pic of NNT?
because he recently claimed that iq is useless as a predicter
lel, the irony is that Taleb really looks up to the genetic anthropologist Gregory Cochran who won't shut up about race and IQ, or just IQ in general.
>A non-white crying over iq
wow, q predicted this
He sounds like a Hillary supporter desu.
Taleb liked one of my tweets... have I made it?
what the fuck am I reading
lel quite the opposite
This isn't going to go well for him. The more he talks about this subject, the more biased, hateful and unintelligent he looks.
this is why twitter is a bad place for discussions
Nothing has changed about IQ research. IQ is still the best predictor of academic performance, wealth(both for individuals and countries), job performance, etc.
He's a fucking retard
>these fucking low IQ alt-righters can't understand how useless IQ is
i read his books, they were good. What the fuck is he doing?
Never change upside-down man... also give me back my Summer.
In this article he makes the more interesting claim that IQ is only good for detecting retardation (by which token we can deduce that niggers and abos have a shitload of tards)
medium.com
Still I can't understand how he can claim that minorities fare better. He clearly hasn't spent enough time in America outside of his white New Jersey bubble.
Yep, welcome to the club!
Fuentes telling it how it is.
Is he any good btw?
>minorities fare better
perhaps he means relatively because of the out of proportion accommodations made by majorities
>In this article he makes the more interesting claim that IQ is only good for detecting retardation (by which token we can deduce that niggers and abos have a shitload of tards)
It's wrong.
IQ tests can be used to predict job performance, academic achievement, etc, and if he had read Hivemind he would have known that average IQ predict wealth, good goverment and business practices, etc across nations.
>using wikipedia for anything
LOOOL
He's right again. Jow Forumstards just don't want to admit it because they want to be treated better because of their high IQ.
>arab butthurt that people know his country has a shit average IQ
no surprise
Nassim really is touchy. He used to follow Molyneux and had good words for him, all it took was one disagreement and now he’s a fraud. Unstable.
He's probably thinking about the successful ones like Jews (who were highly selected for certain traits), French protestants (highly self-selected, it's not the average peasant from Brittany who would decide to become a protestant, more like the educated urban bourgeois), and I assume other minorities that fare well like Armenians in his native Lebanon or various Indians and Asians in America and Africa. And probably ignoring the really unsuccessful ones like niggers everywhere in the world even their own countries, abos, Amerindians, mestizos and so forth.
He makes the weird claim that there's no significant correlation while showing us graphs where we can see correlation.
Why is taleb attacking the alright? Did the Jew controllers of the intellectual dark web tell him to?
He is blue-pilled on Catholicism (the real red-pill is high end esoterism/mysticism e.g. Vedanta, Daoism, Neoplatonism, Guenon etc) but in most other regards he is a good commentator and a quick thinker.
>East Med genetics haven't changed since the Bronze Age
Can Arab mutts cope any harder?
He's anti Nord and Pro med
Speaking of Cochran, shots fired. The commenters are unkind to Taleb as well.

MEDS MADE EVERYTHING
He knows and he gets most of the facts right. He just draws weird conclusions that seem to be common among people who are uncomfortable with divergent human evolution.
His main issue is that IQ is not as good of a predictor for higher ranges as it is for lower (all true). And he illustrates that point with anecdotal evidence.
His point is that IQ decorrelates from success the higher it goes, which makes sense since having a high IQ means you're both capable to be CEO of a giant multinational company and wash dishes at McDonalds. Having a low IQ means you're stuck at McDonalds. The rest is butthurt whining from a low-iq ethnic, though, so in that you're right.
It looks like he's almost having a meltdown over this.

>I blocked Stephan Molyneux (simply because I don't like him & his racial theories)
Not if you live in Somalia
Steve Sailer has a good take.

>minorities everywhere fare disproportionately well
except when they're oppressed right kike?
I dont know who this Taleb character is.
But I would be very surprised if Molyneux have above 2 digit iq.
Not gonna lie, former Taleb supporter here. This is fucking hilarious watching Taleb crash and burn. But in all seriousness we can't let this guy get the economic Nobel prize.
NNT is a great thinker and he does have good points about the IQ in his Medium post, but he's ultimately wrong. IQ has really strong predicting power when we look at large populations: ethnic groups and so forth. If it wasn't true, we would only need one exception among let's say the black populations across the world. It's a pretty cosmic ''coincidence'' that East Asians, Jews and Whites just happen to be successful wherever they are on Earth, niggers and abos just keep being dumb.
Non-Africans recognized the lack of mental capabilities in Africans long before IQ or science was a thing.
Taleb is a conflicted man. He takes down kikes left and right constantly because kikes keep attacking him but still pals around with other kikes and seems to be in denial about them. Then he makes weird claims about how we can't afford not to deal with climate change as if alarmist bullshit were real out of precaution (literally the logic that makes people fall for scam and high pressure sales tactics).
He's got insights but while he claims he doesn't have to worry about his reputation he actually does and tries to show what a good goy he is on many fronts.
lel, I am now a #PinkerDiddler
He uses really weird logic. He said
>The argument that “some races are better at running” hence [some inference about the brain] is stale: mental capacity is much more dimensional and not defined in the same way running 100 m dash is.
But niggers are retarded in every dimension, no matter how you look at it.
His beef does seem to some extent to be semantic in that the term Intelligence Quotient lacks clear definable parameters.. he liked my statement about how IQ seems to "measure" something closer to reflex ability and linking the result to a measurement of intelligence which constitutes the ability to recognize relationships , patterns and trends and to ideate successful innovation therefrom is not meaningfully assessed in the standard IQ tests.
He says much more than that:
>medium.com
>There is no significant correlation (or any robust statistical association) between IQ and wealth.
Wrong.
>Some argue that IQ measures intellectual capacity—real world results come from, in addition, “wisdom” or patience, or “conscientiousness”, or decision-making or something of the sort. No. It does not even measure intellectual capacity/mental powers.
Wrong.
And then:
>it explains at best between 13% and 50% of the performance in some tasks (those tasks that are similar to the test itself), minus the data massaging and statistical cherrypicking by psychologists
A complete lie, especially the part where he says psychologists fudge their data on IQ reserach.
He is a fat lying cunt.
Are you implying Molyneux is not a fraud?
>pals around with other kikes
He is Lebanese for crying out loud and very deeply connected with the place and culture which just happens to be right next door to Israel since forever.
I wouldn't. He's clearly intelligent. He's also making the better arguments on this subject.
at the very least he is less of a fraud than Taleb
>ahMed
I FOUND THE PSYCHOLOGIST!
What is your point?
What's fraudulent about him? What a passive aggressive way of making a point, fucking Hell
>white new jersey bubble
kek what? we have niggers literally in every town here, forced by our government to have ghettos in every town.
>t. doesn't know shit about the Levant
>right next door to Israel since forever.
>forever
You mean 1948? I don't even know where to begin with this retarded post, kikes have been next to Lebanon for not so long and have had no contact besides occasionally murdering each other for most of it.
Taleb is a rich guy who probably can't recall the last time he talked to someone with an IQ below 120. When you see pics of him with other people usually it's a bunch of slant-eyed elite students. He's as sheltered as anyone can be in NJ.
en.wikipedia.org
there is no basis to confine Israel to the time when the Modern State began.. Israel's presence in that place is ancient.
You lack objectivity because he mercilessly denigrates your profession.
Spare me your sophistry.
>IQ isn't real everyone is the same - some shitskin
brave
I suggest Taleb is possessed of a deep, abiding sense of cultural connection with those presenting with Jewish identity simply from the long standing cultural proximity of the two places. he regularly identifies himself as "eastern med" and there is nobody that fits that category more than Jews but I think I sense you are interested in only regarding askenazi/khazarites as Jews and dispense with any connection to ancient Israel, right? Are you one who says there are no ancient Jews/Isralites in today's Planet Earth and all who identify as Jews are somehow imposter Khazar converts?
Just search for Molyneux contradictions on youtube and enjoy.
>The same people hold that IQ is heritable, that it determines success, that Asians have higher IQs than Caucasians, degrade Africans, then don’t realize that China for about a Century had one order of magnitude lower GDP than the West.
>asians are smarter than nigger?
>then why did Asians not have so much money?
Holy shit this has to be the most brainlet part of his article, imagine comparing the nominal earnings of people in China with people in the UK in past centuries to claim that IQ is bullshit
It's true that he identifies as a semite and probably does feel a connection to them so you have a point there. However believe me that modern Lebanon (I've been there for a while and have many friends there) in general is very disconnected from any Jewish or Israeli anything.
Good post. Yep, NNT is thinking strange when it comes to climate change too. If alarmists made the same amount of noise about artificial intelligence or any of the other dozen or so existential risks, Taleb would be ''we can't afford to take the existential risk, must do everything to stop it''.
We would get scammed non-stop every day if all it took was to exclaim ''possibility of total ruin''. We truly have to first understand how big impact humans have on climate change before we use trillions to fight it.

Do yourselves a favor and search for Molyneux contradictions on youtube.
He's literally stupid.
Molyneux dindu nuffin.
I think he's going full cuck on this
but it's there en.wikipedia.org
>the real red-pill is high end esoterism/mysticism e.g. Vedanta, Daoism, Neoplatonism, Guenon etc
lmao
Taleb is right. He says that iq is a good predictor of left tails but not of right tails, i.e. predictability is asymmetric.
For left tail retards who don't understand this:
What he says is that iq predicts abilities of retards quite well, but fails to predict success. It can be used as a retard filter (in which case most nogs would get filtered out) but it cannot be used for positive selection.
Stop advertising your retarded channel, nobody cares about your obsession with Stefan
>east med genetics haven't changed since the bronze age
but they have though, due to multiple waves of conquest from greeks, persians, arabs, turkic nomads etc
>cult leader that's been living on other people's money for over 20 years
>low iq
Pick one. Molymeme didn't start fleecing retards on the internet by being a retard, himself.
>IQ doesn't singlehandedly predict success THEREFORE IQ DOESN'T REAL
WOW POWERFUL BRAVO TALEB
FLOOD MY COUNTRY WITH SHITSKINS NOW
Taleb has done far more to hurt the left than Fuentes ever will.
Did everyone forget about his feud with libtard professor Mary Beard over portraying ancient Romans as black?
He even concedes IQ is a good downward measure, meaning you can be a racist and still agree with him. This is just classic alt-right autism and inability to take ANY criticism.
Oh he's pretty retarded.
But sure, there are many who are even more retarded.
If you listen to him and conclude he's intelligent. Then that says more about you than him.
Lol its not my channel.
I'm using the video to prove a point.
nicley memed
>fails to predict success
But that's a retarded point to make, it's not a success index, it's an intelligence index, it's suppose to measure raw general intelligence, not one's professional future.
It's so obvious that it baffles me that I'd have to explain this. Imagine someone who's really smart, everybody knows he's really smart, the IQ tests confirm that he's really smart. Now imagine he ends up a NEET who just faps to anime all day. How does that invalidate IQ as a measure of his intelligence?
Your point about the asymmetry of prediction vindicates the value of IQ. It tells you that without high intelligence you can't go very far, but with high intelligence maybe you'll go very far or maybe there's something else not directly related to IQ or intelligence that won't makes that happen.
this. they do this EVERY fucking time, IQ is always useless when the hard facts point to blacks being less intelligent, however anecdotes about low intelligence become relevant again when talking about those racist evil white trump supporters
Taleb is just insecure about being from the Middle East.
>For left tail retards who don't understand this:
We all understand it. As Molyneux explained and this user reiterated, having a high IQ doesn't guarantee success, but it means you likely have a greater ability to achieve that lower IQ people do not have.
This lol, thats why its weird all his points are saying if iq is good for anything its good for finding stupid and unsuccessful people, and also that maybe (((certain tribes))) maybe are not so intelligent as they seem
>I suggest Taleb is possessed of a deep, abiding sense of cultural connection with those presenting with Jewish identity
I think he probably does feel that he has some slight ethnic connection to Jews. But if you look at who he seems to pal around with, I don't notice a lot of Jews.
He prefers what he sees as his own kind (Greeks/Lebanese/Syrians). A big part of his cultural/ethnic identity is especially based on things like food and drink, which he does not really share with Jews.
No one is considering communism.
I think he deletes his tweets but I read in the comments that he replied to somebody asking him what his IQ was and he replied 85
>85
>eighty-five
Clearly the dude is a genius tho. Would love to see him debate JBP on IQ, but he's sorta a stubborn fag
Nah, I believe him
This, literally WE WUZ GREEKS N SHIET. He even goes as far as claiming that the Arabic spoken in Lebanon isn't Arabic but rather its own semitic language, and that it should be written in Latin writing because WE WUZ. Like I said I know many Lebanese people and they all say that they speak Arabic.
>I don't notice a lot of Jews.
notice harder, there's many Jews, although not as much as others. It's mostly in his work that he deals with Jews. Pic related.
>notice harder, there's many Jews, although not as much as others. It's mostly in his work that he deals with Jews. Pic related.
thanks for pointing that out. It would be interesting to know the full range of his opinions about Jews as a group.
>modern Lebanon
I understand and you're right I was only making a general point about his inclinations culturally not necessarily in a present day geopolitical form. I have an Armenian Syrian friend who has an apartment he keeps in Greece who tells me Lebanon is a great place to visit.
It's a Muslim conspiracy.
So its more like a sens eof affinity you have with people from your neighborhood in generall.. you may not necessarily go out of your way to hang out but when you see them you can be friendly for the sake of that aspect of your shared experience.
Does he then admit that psychology is a largely useless field since IQ is one of the most well studied and understood fields in psychology?
Taleb regularly trashes Psychology as pseudosceintific babble. I am not sure if he regards anything with more contempt.
Suggesting like Fuentes did here that Taleb is low IQ makes him look like an idiot.
Taleb is guaranteed to score a very high score that would put most people to shame who insult him.
Criticise his arguments all you want, I don't care and I don't know much about his positions, but a young boy who never achieved shit baiting him with "YOU LOW IQ" posts is a bit pretentious.
lotta loyalty for a pure blood rape baby
I agree with you then. And yeah it's interesting to visit, although it's surprisingly homosexual. As in you meet tons of lesbians and sodomites all the time. I even stayed in the AirBNB of a gay Jew and a gay druze.
Apparently he hates white identity more
yeah wikipedia is trash now. They've removed so much information over the years to be politically correct. They used to have an accurate history of Israel back in the day I would reference but all the bad stuff is gone now.
That's retarded.
