"Race, IQ & Sowell" with Nathan Cofnas, Part 1
The Genius of Thomas Sowell
The Firstborn Phenomenon and Intelligence
This chapter explores the controversial theory by Thomas Sowell regarding IQ differences between firstborn and later-born children, questioning the supposed advantages of being firstborn. It discusses how family size and parental attention may influence intelligence metrics, while also considering the broader implications of China's one-child policy on population dynamics and social outcomes. The speakers engage in a thought-provoking debate on the roles of heredity and environment in shaping intelligence, challenging genetic determinism and addressing sociocultural factors at play.
