[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Did you care, if you married someone significantly less intelligent, how that might factor into pot3ntial children’s intelligence levels?  [/quote]

No, because intelligence is primarily inherited by the mother. [/quote]

Wait I thought intelligence wasn’t heritable. [/quote]

It’s actually highly heritable. Read “The Cult of Smart”[/quote]

Wrong. Genes are a social construct to perpetuate inequality.[/quote]

I'm sorry, and not to troll, but can you explain the theory on this one to me? I don't think I agree but I genuinely want to understand your position on this. You think that...nothing is passed down genetically? Like, everything is just chance? That two parents with blue eyes are just as likely to have a blue eyed kid as two parents with brown eyes all the way up their family tree?

And how does it perpetuate inequality? You mean like a bigotry of low expectations -- "oh, he won't be able to finish school, his parents are dumb and he probably gets it from them" -- or like literally a group of powerful people decided to invent the concept of genes in order to keep minorities down? How does it do that?[/quote]

^pp  I think you found the dumb spouse :lol: [/quote]
