Intelligence is 80% genetics

[BudAshes]

That verse isn't from any known translation of the Bible that I am aware of, not to mention it is completely out of context.

The NIV says:

"The most gentle and sensitive woman among you—so sensitive and gentle that she would not venture to touch the ground with the sole of her foot—will begrudge the husband she loves and her own son or daughter."

And King James says:

The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter

This is my favorite bible quote.

Moses: Gentlemen, we do not stop till nightfall.
Pinchas: What about breakfast?
Moses: You already had it.
Pinchas: We've had one, yes. What about second breakfast?
Meidad: I don't think he knows about second breakfast, Pin.
Pinchas: What about elevensies? Luncheon? Afternoon tea? Dinner? Supper? He knows about them, doesn't he?
Meidad: I wouldn't count on it.

The irony is the vast majority of statistics are made up.

There are three kinds of lies: lies, damned lies, and statistics.

Even if intelligence is 100% genetic, you can go far with average intelligence.

I'd say it's 95% heritable because that's about how heritable frontal lobe size is. Smarter women will breast feed so that's not the increase in IQ.

And fathers have very little weight on frontal lobe size and IQ.

My mother's mother was dumb like me, but my mom and her grandmother were at least bright normal. Unfortunately my mother (I'm guessing 117 to 122) isn't as smart as my dad (at least 128).

Interestingly though, I'm the only one in my mom's huge family (including her mother's brother and her sister's daughter) who has a mental illness. My brothers don't have mental illness either.
