Searching for justice - The discovery of IQ gains over time

Humane-egalitarian ideals, whose aims are group justice and reducing environmental inequality and privilege, must be rested against reality: as revealed by psychology and other social sciences. Four issues are addressed: the equation between IQ and intelligence, whether group potential is determined by a group's mean Ie, whether the Black-White re gap is genetic, and the meritocratic thesis that genes for Ie,will become highly correlated with class. Massive Ie gains ol er time test the IQ-intelligence equation, reveal groups who achieve far beyond their mean les, and falsify prominent arguments for a genetic racial le gap. Class re trends suggest America is not evolving toward a meritocracy, brit ct core refutation of that thesis is needed and supplied. Finally, the viability of humane ideals is assessed against a worst-case scenario.
