What About Intelligence?

We recently had a big discussion on intelligence in “San Francisco and Schooling” and (to a lesser extent) “Hypergamy and Male Variability.” But, perhaps you want a quick-and-easy rundown on intelligence that doesn’t require an advanced degree. Here is a short video that does just that: Here is a quick …
