@petejas113222@cagecode13 No it didn’t. The study demonstrated clearly that the correlation collapsed to 0 once you controlled for factors related to family structure. Hence the actual effect of MONEY was negligible.
@petejas113222@cagecode13 Dude, can you seriously not comprehend the insinuation here??? In adulthood, roughly 80% of the variance in intelligence across a population is attributable to genetic differences.
@petejas113222@cagecode13 How can genetics be the effect when they are what decide almost everything about us? You might have a good argument if you were to cite epigenetic factors, but we know from Wilson effect alone that ~80% of intelligence is determined by genetics. Hence it must be causal in nature.
@petejas113222@cagecode13 Sure, but we have the data to control for this. It is very clear what the actual cause is. Throwing more money at poor families wont fix the issue. You need to address the root cause which is a broken family structure.
@petejas113222@cagecode13 Furthermore. We know that the correlation between fatherlessness and criminality is much higher than socioeconomic factors and income. It just so happens that most fatherless households are in the lower income bracket, hence why there is a slight correlation with criminality.
@petejas113222@cagecode13 I never once claimed that there isn’t a correlation between socioeconomic factors and criminality, but rather that the correlation is poor and likely not causal in nature.
@petejas113222@cagecode13 And since you are likely too lazy, I’ll do it for you: “Im not claiming that race is the cause. Im claiming that socioeconomic factors do not correlate heavily with criminality.”
@petejas113222@cagecode13 I never once claimed that socioeconomic factors don’t matter. Restate my claims or stfu, because you have consistently misrepresented my position the entire time.
