Let me say this about that.Intelligence properly defined is the ability to adapt to "existing "environments. Hence drug addicts and other criminals are just as intelligent as the PhD and the brain surgeon.It is the ability to deal with the challenges of a situation and to influence the outcome are all that matters.The basketball player is just as intelligent as the summa cum laude. Reading,writing and other related skills are required for specific environments.If some individuals or a group of individuals are having managing issues in those academic environments they should not be perceived as genetically deficient but academically unprepared for those tasks which should not be concluded as having deficiencies in other tasks. As I said before,white folks tend to delight in cognitive speculations and this is part of the Eurocentric legacy brought about by years of domestication which has boostered learning activities(which I consider to be unnatural). Eurocentric cognitive imperialism has been the root cause of divisions and inequality among the human community. One thing that bothers me is that-if IQ remains stable despite environmental variability,it stands to reason that IQ has functionally adaptive issues and fails to roll with the punches.
