The Good News Is That One Side Has Definitively Won The Missing Heritability Debate A simply great summary of the recent controversy on heritability over at ACX.
…the bad news is that they can’t agree which one
The hereditarians declared victory (Cremieux on X, Emil Kirkegaard on Substack)
But the nurturists declared victory (Sasha Gusev on Substack)
I have leaned toward the former view for years, but want to get this right. Cremieux and Emil Kirkegaard claim that their opponents are wrong because of initial bias and not wanting to look at the data. Sasha Gusev claims that his opponents are wrong because they are pig-headed fools a generally stupid. Longtime readers know where I am going to put my trust on that one.
But still, I want to get it right, and Scott Alexander explains it to me in terms I can understand. I commented there.
