Just finished watching C0n’s video. He has once again completely astonished me in terms of how comprehensive he’s made such a complicated subject. His voice makes it very easy to listen to what he’s saying as well.

There are a few things I noticed. When he addressed the race-IQ relationship, he didn’t just stop at saying “correlation doesn’t equal causation”, which is what I did. He explained very succinctly how it applies, and why the correlation doesn’t prove anything. In this I especially enjoyed his explanation of how groups are imagined and arbitrary, and how dividing any group based on a certain characteristic will produce differences.

I’ll have to take notes on what he said in regards to racial medicine, because that’s something I’ve been looking for for such a long time, and I feel like he addressed it so well.

Most importantly, however, he took a genuine side that was entirely based in science. I and mostly anybody else would let emotion cloud reasoning, but it doesn’t seem to be the case with C0n. What’s even more significant is that while taking a completely objective view in science, he still proposed a “best resolution” to the issue of race differences.

Absolutely amazing.
