Can you translate that into American English? After the comma?

I see you folks have slipped into the IQ debate. That is close to talking about genetics and eugenics here. I will abstain as it is a very large taboo in the USA.

By American English, I assume you mean you say it as it is? They are simply metaphors. Why restrict yourself to the default pallette of colours, when you can use your imagination to mix and match, thus creating a wonderful blend of intoxicating technicolour? It is your canvas.

I really did not understand what he said. I am picking up on real English in this thread, but he lost me on that one.

I also hear that if I travel to East London, good luck.

Im thinking IQ is inherited but then it can come from either parent ,like many aspects logically then IQ could be generally higher/lower in different areas Einstein's descendants did inherit his IQ, to an extent. First let's step back a little bit and talk about IQ heritability. IQ is highly heritable, and that heritability is largely driven by genes (from 50% to more than 70% according to most estimates, some going as high as 90%). However, there are a few things to take into account when you are talking about exceptionally intelligent people....

if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.

High IQ is mostly NURTURE not NATURE
Good luck with the master race ...

{quote} IQ is a controversial issue and in my book highly overrated... and genes may be there but it is the environment that decodes them... take Einstein children and raise them in an unfavorable environment and there is no way they develop the so called high intelligence... evaluate a classroom resorting to the WISC scale select the low IQ ones and tell the teacher they are the smartest...evaluate the same classroom 5 years later and check the results... Someone asked Binet what is intelligence and he said said "intelligence is what my test measures"...
Well Einstein as intelligent as he was, couldn't tie his own shoe laces. Having been an English teacher in Beijing for a couple of years has taught me a lot in terms how to test students in many things especially when teaching a foreign language. IMO, reading and writing are not barometers to use to measure a students aptitude for learning or IQ. When I was teaching I used a unique set of tools for excelling the learning process for learning a language. One such method was called the "Silent Way". This showed me how well students were able to adapt to learning on their own as well as using cognitive functions in the environment that they were forced to deal with. Language for the most part is learned from image association, and thus when learning it is more effective for the long term memory to be utilized in this manner. There are also influential aspects that can either impede or enhance ones own development, peers, media, literature, imagery, etc., in their cognitive functions, and even though reading and writing are forms of communication, they are also tools that contribute to the learning process in which can be considered enhancement to ones own IQ development, hence the term literacy. I find this subject matter subjective, and debatable as there are many ways to look at this.

Nigel Farage, Katy Hopkins, Tommy Robinson being blamed for radicalising the guy that drove into the people near Finsbury Park mosque. What a croc of shit. Why can't they just say it was a reprisal probably due to being pissed off with not seeing politicians act with any conviction. They very people they are looking at being right wing extremist have been warning this will likely happen if there is no action politically to sort out the whole immigration/islam pile of crap

We speak real English in England. However, I would have problems understanding the locals in East London nowadays; for it is not cockney that is spoken, but Arabic.

And a lot of people only read it if it confirms their bias

Do I only read to confirm my bias or am I biased bc of what I read
