the word "single" is redundant in your last sentence.

You are right. I should omitted the word "but" from my post.

No. Physics is real and math is abstract. It often provides close approximations of physical reality but it is not reality itself except in the sense that it is neurons firing in brains.

And I originally referred to the scientific basis for IQ. You aren't ignorant you're just dumb, or evil i.e. a cultural Marxist.

"you need to perform a scientific study. Have you done so?"

No, but thousands of cognitive psychologists have. Their overwhelming conclusion? That IQ as a valid measure of mental acuity exists and on top of that, a majority of it is heritable.

I might add that mothers are far more conservative politically than single unmarried women.

"We have yet to define intelligence in any objective way"

Stop posting ignorant statements.

Truth.
