Intelligence: Nature or Nurture

[9erempiree]

What you guys think. I think message boards in general have dumb'd me down.

There are some good discussions which forces people to think, in return, we feel brighter and more intelligent.

Some say, you are born with intelligence.

What do you think?

It's a combination of both nature and nurture obviously.

Are we done?

I think that pretty much settles it.


See everyone next week.

80% nature, 20% nurture.

Everyone please explain in one paragraph on both ends of the argument.

Use some sources if you have too.

Thank you.

What exactly are you expecting from 'sources'? A comprehensive study detailing every gene that expresses 'intelligence' as a phenotype? If you cannot work out the flaws in that, then you need to study some basic biology.

You haven't even provided a definition for 'intelligence'. Awful topic as usual - I suppose your stupidity isn't confined to basketball.

I know it is basic biology. That is why I am asking for an elaborate response. We need argument for either or. Not both.

The argument is that it is both. It isn't one or the other.

Can someone just send this clown back to the NBA forum.

[MavsSuperFan]

Combo of both.

Although your potential for learning is genetic imo
How much knowledge you acquire is related to your circumstances.

Eg. If you are born in a tribe hidden in the middle of the amazon jungle and your tribe has been separated from the rest of humanity for thousands of years, you could have a 200+ IQ and it wouldnt amount to anything.

Who brings the cookies next time?

Which do we need to survive? We need argument for either water or solid food. Not both. One paragraph each.

Intelligence comes from hundreds of thousands of years of trial and error by our ancestors.

"Intelligence" is that deep, underlying sexual urge within every man that pushes us to give other men rim jobs. I'm by far the most intelligent poster here.
