nostr:npub10lnelsae3zhv6y3kz8jla2fkwjxrpws0j8vehrv54zg7tfsd3p2s4s080l which “religious belief” are you referring to? The “religious belief” that scientists should provide a methodology? No methodology has ever been provided for selecting samples into the dataset. The “religious belief” that you can’t calculate the IQ of a national population from a sample size of 19 individuals. Angola’s IQ is calculated from 19 people. The “national IQ” dataset is scientifically indefensible so if you believe in it, that belief is not scientific…

Yes, I'm aware that the IQ data for a large number of developing nations is essentially useless, but that wasn't what you were talking about.

The religious belief is in the implication of your post. The implication is that comparisons of human abilities are either:

futile because there is nothing to be found (you can't know that without doing them)

or

that description of the differences is immoral

Either of these implications is based on the belief that humans are blank slates, which is a religious belief.
