From "Burn This Book"
Yes, it most certainly does, as do the dozens of studies that it explicitly references in doing so.
And, for kicks, the Introduction to Neuroscience textbook that I linked above explicitly refutes the core arguments that you made at the beginning of this thread.
Here's what you said - MasterDefibrillator:
> "The neurosciences, the closest field to an expert opinion on human intelligence, generally look at the IQ test as a specific measure of your ability to do specific problems well. They go out of their way to point out that IQ can not be linked to any general measure of intelligence."
Here's what they say about that (You can read the introduction on Amazon if you log in):
Haier, R. (2016) The Neuroscience of Intelligence, NY: Cambridge University Press.
> "Among the many myths about intelligence, perhaps the most pernicious is that intelligence is a concept too amorphous and ill-defined for scientific study. In fact, the definition and measures used for research are sufficiently developed for empirical investigations and have been so for over 100 years."
> "There are many tests of specific mental abilities. We have over 100 years of research about how such tests relate to each other. Here's what we know: Different mental abilities are not independent. They are all related to each other and the correlations among mental tests are always positive. That means if you do well on one kind of mental ability test, you tend to do well on other tests."
> "IQ scores are good estimates of g [general factor of intelligence] because most IQ tests are based on a battery of tests that sample many mental factors, an important aspect of g."
> "...the attack on tests is, to a very considerable and very frightening degree, an attack on truth itself by those who deal with unpleasant and unflattering truths by denying them and by attacking and trying to destroy the evidence for them."
Cheers.
This is a very nice quote actually. I've recently written a book about being alone an I might just use this quote as an opener in the next version of it.
I'm posting the link to my book here. Not sure if it's considered spam or promotion. It's free on amazon anyways. I hope you enjoy reading it. Maybe it helps you get started on your journey of not giving a fuck what others want you to do. Here it is: Alone Time
I first read the quote in a book I have called The Way of the Sufi by Idries Shah where it was quoted as "You only truly posses whatever cannot be lost at sea." Online, the quote was written as I posted it, so I went with that.
It's a great book... full of great Classical Sufi writings and quotes.
I could not find an online source of this to cite this, but I want to add the full quote, namely the beginning lines that continues to be omitted each time this quote is posted:
>Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. Today is a king in disguise.
>He is rich who owns the day, and no one owns the day who allows it to be invaded with worry, fret, and anxiety. Finish every day and be done with it. You have done what you could. Some blunders and absurdities no doubt crept in; forget them as soon as you can.
>Tomorrow is a new day; begin it well and serenely and with too high a spirit to be cumbered with your old nonsense. This day is all that is good and fair. It is too dear, with its hopes and invitations to waste a moment on the yesterday.
For more pure gold like this, read the pleasure of finding things out, Surely you're joking Mr. Feynman and What do you care what other people think
Cool - so did I. Been along time but I recently watched a documentary on Ram Dass called Fierce Grace. Really good, shows Ram Dass dealing with recovery from his stroke and recaps his life's journey so far. Made me pick up Be Here Now again. You may find it a good view - I think you can watch a sample here.
You would love the version by Birk and Sanders. It is very faithful to the original while being completely modernized. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0811842134
I would argue that market socialism is not outside the spectrum of what you are arguing for. You can have a complete free market where each and every company is a worker cooperative and pay and worker benefits are determined democratically within the workplace, but the consumption of goods and services are still determined in a free market system.
Here's Richard Wolff's book on the idea
The quote is from the book Goodbye, Mr. Nothing (written by yours truly). It can be found here on Amazon Kindle if you're interested. Hope that helps!

Highly recommend this book - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Risk-The-Science-Politics-Fear/dp/0753515539 - one of those rare books that really, truly changed my outlook on the world.
The book of his letters is amazing. Amazon link so you can read the synopsis etc.

It's available for free online as well
One of my favorites by him. I forget if it contains this lecture, but I would highly recommend The Meaning of It All: Thoughts of a Citizen-Scientist for anyone with an open mind and a critical outlook.
Then again, I would probably recommend all of his books to almost anyone :P
Yeah, “The Fifth Science” is a really good book. Here it is:
The Fifth Science https://www.amazon.com/dp/1796356301?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
There is neither Good nor evil. There simply, “is”.
We use words to describe something’s “is-ness”. However what it “is” depends almost entirely on the context in which it appears and/or how it is perceived by the observer. The difference between narcissism (bad) and confidence (Good) is how the phenomenon manifest.
Many of these ideas are better articulated by experts such as
Edmund Husserl and his theory of phenomenology
https://plato.stanford.edu/entries/phenomenology/
Also discussed by Mark Twain in “Mere Christianity”
https://www.amazon.com/Mere-Christianity-C-S-Lewis/dp/0060652926
Robert Anton in “Prometheus Rising”
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prometheus_Rising
I just finished reading this biography of him. I definitely recommend it. Biographies have a way of humanizing people more than quotes ever could.
Can I offer you a nice book recommendation in this trying time?
