Do you really believe that we can all think and understand sciences ?
Regardless of IQ which is still proven inaccurate, concretely we know that some people can't into math or physics but I've always believed that these people are experiencing a "residual ignorance", because they hadn't been paying attention before or because they forgot basic principles to understand a theorem, as science (s) is based on simple theorems to greater ones. My idea was that they only needed to fill a gap of knowledge, or to pay attention during classes, etc.
But nowadays I beg to differ.
My question is : Are we as equal before knowledge ? Do we have the same power of thinking as another human being ? Are we all able of understanding logic ?
Do you think that ultimately, regardless of social classes, diet, education, discipline, teacher and the will to learn, we can all reason equally ?
I'm aware of neurosciences and I'm into neuropsychology, which has taught me a lot of what a damaged brain can make on someone's logic, but they only affect the cognitive functions, meaning the ability to receive information, not the ability to process it.
What are some sciences truth about, /sci/ ?

btw I know that there's already this one but I think it's similar and not the same question there.
Plus asking another question in a thread wouldn't get me any answer.
> regardless of IQ which is still proven inaccurate
It's one of the most tested, statistically reliable and valid concepts in the social sciences.
Come on.

That's not really much of an accomplishment considering the field as a whole.

Lmao

Social sciences are shit because they're politicized and there is no quantifiable measure of human irrationality. As such it's impossible to predict what will happen with the economy with its millions of variables. People in psychology are also blinded by their own irrational political bias.

>Do we have the same power of thinking as another human being ?
We do all think by the same rules, but not by in the same speed. That's what makes the biggest difference. Of course, if a field routinely requires complex thoughts, someone with a a "slow brain" just won't be able to keep up more often than not, and thus be branded "unsuited". But evidently, it's just a relative measure.
I think it's a matter of neural plasiticity primarily, and secondarily of neuron density. If you up these two factors, you can make anyone into von Neumann. Conversely, if you "slow down" the task, i.e. employ a different teaching methology, you can teach almost anything to anyone. I think as a society we have to work on both.
intelligence was a mistake
how do we cure it?

Yep. This is why all the "race scientists" like Jensen, Rushton, Nyborg, Lynn, and Stapel are all professors of psychology.. not genetics.

I think we do
afterall we are all more or less on similar tiers with small minorities at each end of the spectrum
obviously there are different ways in which we process information though so the key for reasoning with eachother is to find the best ways to convey logic
