Random thought: Since you are possibly the world's highest IQ person, I would like to do a Bloggingheads.TV with you. It is a valuable new medium that will allow you to reach many people with your ideas. You can choose the topics.
The chance that this post leads to to an actual dialogue is small, but it is not zero.
This is so adorkable.
You do know her husband invented the artificial heart
While she has a high IQ, she’s not an expert on IQ testing or its correlation with socio-economic data. This is only natural, because she would obviously appear self-serving by stating IQ was very important or non-malleable, and has wisely avoided that minefield. So, if you think her agreeing to your theories on intelligence as giving them more credibility, I agree she will agree with your positions, but if you really want to debate ideas on this, and articulate key differences about assumptions, and really understand the Flynn effect, a diavlogue with Steve Sailer would be more informative.
This blog is in clear decline…
“You should try this approach to lure Naomi Klein” -ao
I would pay $5 to see a bloggingheads.tv episode with Naomi Klein and Tyler Cowen.
It’s a good thing Tyler isn’t single. This could get cringeworthy real fast.
I’d like to know what else she’s doing besides writing advice columns, cause if I was gifted a Ferrari you’d bet your ass that I’d be driving the hell out of it.
JB, you dipshit, you know he doesn’t read these, right?
Oh, and “No Code” was easily the stupidest non-African-anti-imperialist thing I had to read in college.
Tyler,
I realize this is a follow-up to your recent poorly-received post on race and IQ, as, having been rather badly shown up by many of your commenters, you are trying to make IQ look laughable by picking on a professional celebrity.
Well, I have a lower IQ than you do, but I’ve thought a lot longer and harder about IQ than you have, so why don’t you challenge me to a BloggingHeads discussion on the topic?
ALLRIGHT! Sailer – you go, boy! Get ‘im!
C’mon Tyler! I’ll cheer ya both on!
PWN!

“”I would pay $5 to see a bloggingheads.tv episode with Naomi Klein and Tyler Cowen.”"
I would pay $10 not to.
It’s interesting to see how people are reacting to this whole issue. Personally though I would pass on seeing a debate with Marilyn vos Savant.
ugh, broken tags annoy me. Let’s see if this comment fixes it
Vos Savant’s score is based on a ratio and has never been duplicated by her for a deviation method test. Of course, there is no valid test that can measure at that level in the first place.
What happens at the high end, is that narrow and broad abilities become increasingly important (Spearman’s Law of Diminishing Returns) and g accounts for less of the total differentiation.

“Ricardo — did you notice how Gottfredson pwned Flynn completely and utterly in that debate?”
Here was Gottfredson’s response:
Gottfredson, L. S. (2007). Shattering logic to explain the Flynn Effect. Cato Unbound, November 8.

Remember, MvS simply has the highest RECORDED IQ — recorded when she was 10 years old. Although I don’t wish to insult her intellect, to say she “has” the highest IQ is nearly certainly wrong — we simply don’t know who does, and she achieved the highest (scaled) score that we know of.
Statistically, there ought to be approximately 300 people in the USA alone with roughly comparable IQs (by the Mega Society’s criterion). What’s the probability that, of those 300, MvS would “score” the highest today, on any given IQ test? I would guess certainly less than 5%; perhaps even less than 1%.

My question is simple.
Why would some one blessed with such a gift use it to play mind teasing mathematical games in Parade Magazine instead of taking on the position that Miller Greenberg Bernake have held and perhaps have done better or foresaw earlier the situation we are in today?
