My point being that we can help raise intelligence by choosing good partners, educating kids ourselves, getting tutors if we have money, and so forth. 70% single mother rates in the US is one reason why black IQ rates are in the mid 80's. You have to be raised to not have a Denilson sized chip on your shoulder, not hate men or follow the welfare example, listen to your teachers and try your best. That can no doubt be improved. At least in my opinion. Reject how your parents did it and do it your way. A better way. My youth was no different to a poor black person it was just that I found freedom in books and games.

If I can do reasonably well with no support and from a broken family, imagine what I could do with my own child and my reflective approach to home teaching and also an intelligent mother? Alas it will never happen, but I think that is how you raise intelligence. I would also be stealing the genes of my wife too. So kind of cheating.

I think in Beanz case it is partly genetic too. Unfortunately if your parents are dumb, separated, and you have a bad attitude then you will struggle and the cycle will continue. That's just reality. Teach your kids something! But many don't know or care about raising kids. Look at the West. We mostly leave it all to the schools. Noam Chomsky was not raised like that and it shows.
