Jordan Peterson says a famous US program proved you cannot give kids a lasting IQ boost, even with early enrichment "there was a huge program in the United States started in the 1960s which was supported by conservatives and liberals alike called Head Start" "the kids who went to Head Start did do better than their age matched and socioeconomic matched peers who didn't go to Head Start, but the differences disappeared by grade five or grade six" "so there was no improvement in cognitive function" "that was really saddening... because it was a good hypothesis. Like the idea that you could get a leap ahead early seems so obvious that you'd think it was incontrovertible. It just happens not to be true" If you're new here, follow Toan Truong for the sharpest lessons from the world's best minds. — Jordan B Peterson ( Dr Jordan B Peterson ), clinical psychologist, on Jordan B Peterson's ( Dr Jordan B Peterson ) Answer the Call

Jordan Peterson says intelligence and being a good person have zero correlation "there's no correlation between morality and intelligence. Like literally none" "conscientious people can keep long-term contracts. They tend to abide by their word. The correlation between conscientiousness and IQ is zero. Zero, right? Which is quite remarkable" "there's also no correlation between agreeableness and intelligence. So character and intelligence are not the same thing" If you're new here, follow Toan Truong for the sharpest lessons from the world's best minds. — Jordan Peterson ( Dr Jordan B Peterson ), clinical psychologist, on Answer the Call

Pavel Durov says he was put in an experimental Soviet school that tried to overwhelm a teenage brain on purpose, and the results was mind boggling... "At the age of 11, I got the opportunity to enter an experimental school in St. Petersburg" "You would have four foreign languages at least including Latin, English, French, German. In addition, you can get ancient Greek. You would have classes like biochemistry or psychoanalysis or evolutionary psychology." "Since it was an experimental class, it wasn't possible to become a straight A student to be excellent in all the subject. It was like considered crazy to even try." "You're just pushing the limits of the human mind, four languages in parallel, math, evolutionary psychology, just overwhelming the mind and see what happens."
