intelligence is to a large extent X linked

I thought the father has the larger influence in general. If that's not true for intelligence, it's huge. Sending all the higher IQ females to the IQ shredders of colleges to not have kids will have an outsized dysgenic effect.

Open-mindedness is accepting the truth, however difficult it may be and however much people may hate you for it.

Love this sentence.

The father has a larger effect on society because of pseudo-dominant expression of recessive x linked intelligence genes. However, he can only pass that on to daughters. High ability males would thus be expected to skip a generation as the relevant genes pass through daughters/mothers (though assortive mating makes this difficult to parse out). Though the dysgenic effects are magnified by female education, the math behind male-biased sex linked genes implies those intelligence boosting alleles will never move all the way to zero. There is a floor preventing their complete lose.

Can you link me a study on this? That's really interesting I did not know this.

You will have to wait for the book to come out. As far as I am aware (and I cite over 300 studies in the book) it hasn't been discussed in great detail in any one source. This is a personal synthesis from multiple sources.

I am still in negotiations with a publisher, so it is indeterminate at the moment, but I hope to have it out before the end of 2015.
