Intelligence quotient

just from a standpoint of me having open therapy, me being able to talk about the game, being excited to talk about the game, also being able to work with Gilbert Arenas.

Like, you know, this is a guy who IQ of the game is crazy.

So growing up, being from L.A. and Gilbert Arenas, and he's lived down the street from me, I'm like, oh, hell yeah, this is a no-brainer.

Um, but I loved it, man.

It can cause their physical development, their bone development, their muscle strength, their ultimate stature, how tall they wind up being.

It can actually affect their brain development and their IQ.

by up to 10 points.

So this is a big deal.

Now, if you're breastfeeding and you are deficient in iodine as well, then your baby's not getting any iodine whatsoever from your breast milk.

You have to introduce animal-based health foods into your baby and your child's diet to make sure they're getting adequate sources of iodine.

I've actually put some research down in the show notes below showing that being deficient in iodine while the brain is just exploding in development, how quickly a baby's brain develops and grows, you can actually knock 10 to 12 points off your child's IQ.

in the wrong direction by them being iodine deficient.

Trust me, guys.

He may be saying that tough guys don't do that, but real high IQ intellectuals do.

And that's what me and Nate Diaz share is that we're very high IQ.

when they're crying or they get emotional because their friend of 20 fucking years is having major issues, suicidal thoughts.

I mean, I probably wouldn't do that.

You said these other forms of intelligence.

So I would just say, In this modern way that we live, we're also very indexed on and focused on cognitive intelligence, what our brains can do, IQ, which has been a real advantage for us as a species.

It was an evolutionary advantage.

Look at how much we've built with our brains.

Half the people are below that.

You know, they have IQs below 64.

In this country, you are considered politically correct verbiage, developmentally disabled if you're below 70.

So you have a country of people whose average is 64.

Too obvious, Ann.

Will you just leave this to me, please? This is where the people with the high IQs, you mess us up.

You need...

A mediocrity who knows how to talk to the other, who knows how to deal with these people.

If it's flat, they are not.

And in terms of the kinds of intellectual tools that one might pick up in the course of a liberal arts education, in order to deal in later life with the claims of people who want to talk about the evolution of IQ, or racial differences, or lots of stuff that involves assumptions about genetic determination, reaction norms are useful because they visually describe the contributions of genes and environment to the phenotype.

And, for example, I will put up a speculative plot, just to illustrate the potential social significance of what I'm talking about.

If, for example, I put IQ up here, and I put family annual income down here, Already we're in trouble, right? We're not being politically correct anymore.

And then I do this.

Basically what I'm saying is that if I took human identical twins and I raised one here and the other one here, I could get that.

least have an IQ higher than Potato.

I mean, some of the serial killers, though, they have some pretty high IQs.

Pretty high IQs.

True.

But you need to feel remorse, at least.
