List Of Passages I Highlighted In My Copy Of “Hive Mind”

A Highlights-from-a-book companion to his 'Hive Mind' (Garrett Jones) review, on national IQ and its effects, with Scott's running commentary. Passages: the WWI tit-for-tat tacit truces (Axelrod); real IQ tests aren't paper-and-pencil 'test-taking' (Wechsler blocks, inspection-time correlations); IQ predicts job performance better than most hiring methods; social/emotional intelligence correlates with IQ; sub-Saharan IQ estimates (Wicherts 76-82, with Scott noting how sample selection moves the number); IQ predicts wages even in rural Pakistan; Flynn-effect puzzles (Taiwan/HK above the European mean by the 1960s); nutrition (the Dutch famine left IQ intact; a Guatemalan protein supplement helped); and the striking IQ-cooperation link (higher-IQ pairs cooperate ~5x more in repeated PD — an emergent group property). Ends flagging that he might end up partly wrong (the Mistakes-page caveat).

Quality 68 · Strong. 68 — Highlights-companion band (with Piketty/Basic-Jobs 69). Substantive, skeptical commentary on contentious national-IQ research, but more excerpt-and-react than the deepest companions, and Scott himself flags unresolved uncertainty.

Claude’s paradigm shift 42 · Moderate. 42 — Moderate. A reaction post; the substance is Jones's.

Real-world impact 2 · Minor. 2 — a companion to the review; within-discourse reach.
