What was said
"A lot of studies show that like it's more favorable when you're younger, but as you grow up, it's it's it's cemented a lot more to genetics, but it is it changes when you're younger. Um People go, 'The IQ tests are wrong or they don't actually measure.' Anyone is allowed to come up with an IQ test if they want."
The guest cited research claiming that 80 percent of adult IQ is genetically determined, arguing that IQ correlates with school and career success. He defended IQ testing against accusations of racial bias, stating that better IQ tests would naturally replace inferior ones through scientific validation. The discussion referenced Charles Murray's controversial book The Bell Curve and disputed claims that poverty causes lower IQ.
