I guess you're referring to the part I edited out where I said that there doesn't seem to be any evidence that life is supposed to be easy. I don't think that contradicts humans trying to make life easy.
But it seems to me that a lot of meaning is derived from being at the limit of what is impossible or at least difficult, and staying at the level of easy makes people depressed and unhappy.
Yeah exactly. Sieges don't work except when they do.
Well, you claimed that children of parents with higher IQ have more successful children.
That wasn't my first claim. My first claim was that IQ predicts success.
I pointed out that this is largely due to social factors, to which you replied a non sequitur about how intelligence has a genetic component.
Then I went here because you brought up parents. So not a non-sequitur but a specific reply to your comment.
From that, a reasonable person would assume that you believe that genetics is a major component of IQ, and not just a small contributing factor.
When I specifically said it's not clear how big of a factor it is. So no, I don't think a reasonable person would assume that.
He probably gets more than the fine is from his donations due to this.
