A 2003 book that didn't hold up. Full of giddy optimism, famous Forward authors, and promising gene-finding hopes/claims based on subsequently failed linkage and candidate gene studies. More recent GWAS/PGS "findings" await a similar fate as behavioral genetic theories evaporate.

The Madleen is a peaceful aid-carrying vessel sailing to Gaza under the British flag — the int’l crew are asking for protection #FreedomFlotilla

Well before initiating the Minnesota Study of Twins Reared Apart (MISTRA) in 1979, psychologist Thomas Bouchard believed that human intelligence "is largely under genetic control." The MISTRA results were later p-hacked to confirm this belief. jayjoseph22.substack.com/p/a-reevaluati…

Israel again threatening unlawful violence & issuing inflammatory smears against peaceful, unarmed relief ship. Urge all governments to demand Israel stand down. Especially countries of courageous humanitarians on board. France Diplomatie 🇫🇷🇪🇺 @minbz @auswaertigesamt @itamaratygovbr

The Madleen is close to reaching Gaza. Israel is threatening to commit a war crime in international waters. KEEP TRACK OF THE FLOTILLA: live.garmin.com/session/b2e088…

Racism twitter has taken to arguing that observed racial differences must be "in part" explained by genetic differences, though they demure on how much. Not only is this claim aggressively misleading, it is completely unsupported by data. A 🧵:

We've now gone through the three stages of online hereditarian discourse: 1. "I bet you can't explain genetics" 2. "I don't actually care about genetics, I bet you can't explain environments" 3. "Actually, I just want to repeat myself" x.com/curtis_yarvin/…

Open Dialogue holds promise to enhance social cognition in psychosis through its foundation in dialogue, transparency, and mutual respect: “Dialogue increases reflexivity”. nature.com/articles/s4153…

The fact that education increases intelligence is one of the most heretical ideas one can post on X and the response is fascinating. Below is a verbatim quote from the largest meta-analysis to date; the author literally wrote a book on intelligence. Let's see how people take it:

Heroes.

In the past five days, Israel 🇮🇱 has: • Started a war with Iran 🇮🇷 • Massacred starving Gazans waiting for food 🇵🇸 • Bombed Lebanon 🇱🇧 • Bombed Syria 🇸🇾 • Carried out a naval attack on the port of Hodeidah, Yemen 🇾🇪 • Kidnapped Greta Thunberg 🇸🇪🇪🇺

GAZA. IS. STARVING. Amd Israel keeps on bombing it.

This psychiatrist lectures me about psychiatric genetic "twins reared apart studies." Other than one Minnesota study by psychologists and some anecdotal reports, no such studies exist. I ask him now to provide original source citations for these alleged studies.

Definitely true tho there have been & still are many shameful chapter in psychiatry's history, eg their decades-long insistence that the experiences/behaviours they diagnose are biological/brain disorders.If they were, they would be treated by neurologists, the brain specialists.

Absolutely mind blowing, 150,000 people in The Hague protesting against the genocide in Palestine.

Curious statement. In "The Bell Curve" (1994, p. 105), Murray and Herrnstein said that studies of "twins reared apart" provided the “most unambiguous” evidence in favor of genetic influences on IQ. In fact, neither method provides any "IQ h2" evidence. osf.io/preprints/psya…

Vowing to starve a population of 2 million people by blockading food, then starving them for months, then giving the facade of aid because you admit you're forced to by international opinion, then using aid centers daily to massacre civilians seeking food, is a new kind of evil.
