schooling is great only if the parents are well educated. That's probably true although I think that's changing. My understanding is that the homeschool market is now robust enough that you can find videos of good teachers. You know, I think people coordinate to have maybe the smartest parent teach a few of them or something. I think they're finding workarounds. But you're true. But it's true if the parents aren't starting with a good basis of knowledge it's going to be harder. Charter schools. Yeah, I'm in favor of all of those alternative schooling things.

All right, that's all I got for you today. Stevie, we'll talk about how the bell curve is for suckers. Actually I'll do it right now. Anytime I have this kind of conversation somebody says bell curve or bell curve and you know what that means. The idea is that the racially let's say provocative members of the white community think that that's the whole explanation.

Here's why I disagree. Most people are average. That's my whole argument. I'm only talking about average people. If it's true that there are more white people who are genius scientists, how does that affect you and me? Suppose it's true. Suppose there's a bunch of freaks who are white that are so smart, you know they're the quantum physicists and stuff. Suppose that's true. What does that have to do with the guy who walks in for the job in your company? Nothing. Nothing. It doesn't tell you anything about an individual. The fact that there might be some freakishly smart people in one group doesn't excuse the average. It isn't there now.

All right. So my point is you're talking about the exceptions now. How about Black America? Do they have an unusual number of people who because of poverty and even low nutritional stuff — is there anything that's skewing that average? Probably, right? But if the average person, you know the people in let's say the 80 percent bulk of both the white and the Black population, if anybody in that middle 80 percent of white or Black comes into your office for an interview and they have roughly similar credentials, you can't tell them apart. You have no idea who's going to be good on the job. Nobody can do that. It's just not a thing, right? There it's because the middle is just the middle. The geniuses that may have been skewing it and the people who don't have any job and never will were skewing it in another group. They're not the people we're talking about, right? They're just not the people.

So when you tried to deal with — if you're using an average to decide how to deal with an individual, that's just nonsense. There may be some use for that information but I think it's overused. So I reject it as useful, right? I'm not rejecting it as I don't know if the science is measuring the right thing or not. I don't know how much IQ is really telling you about success. I mean it's highly correlated but there may be other things that are correlated that are sort of obscuring the real thing going on. So those are all interesting topics. But when you're talking about personal success it's about the person standing in front of you. It's not about anybody's average. It's the person standing in front of you.

All right, that's all for now. YouTube, I'm going to talk to Locals people a little bit more. Best live stream you've seen today. Join me tomorrow.
