The Neuroscience of Intelligence: Dr. Richard Haier

6:31 Jordan: "disgust sensitivity is higher if you've got a lower iq" Me: *eats shit in display of raw genius".

I am pretty sure if I took an IQ test I'd be disappointed with the results

Jordan… please let your guests finish their sentences… we love you and by now know what you think of things… we’d also love to hear these high quality guests’ views.

7 years later. Still amazed that these conversations are FREE to listen too

7:43: Let Dr. Richard Haier continue to talk about the G-factor/IQ/Intelligence. He is clearly engaged.

When you are interviewing someone or you are interviewed with someone, like on the last Joe Rogan podcast, please give them space to say what they have to say. You said it best: "If dominant rat doesn't lose at least 1/3 of plays, subordinate rat will not play with him again."

Welp, my insecurity about IQ just went through the roof

Jordan Peterson, thanks for the content but let the guests finish their thoughts.

"What ended up happening with the Head Start Research basically was the conclusion that it produced no cognitive improvements whatsoever, although more kids who went through Head Start graduated from high school, fewer of them were delinquent and fewer of them became pregnant in the teenage years and more of them went to colleges but that seems to be because they were better socialized, not because they were in any way had been made smarter." If you ask me, that's reason enough to keep Head Start.

My friend is a teacher and he pretty much puts all the trouble makers into one group all the super smart into another and then teaches the rest of the class. The smart ones can be given just about any task and get it done. The trouble makers cause nothing but problems no matter how easy a task they are given.

I'm not even 30 minutes into this but I feel the need to comment. I wish Peterson wouldn't interrupt his guests so much. Sometimes he does it to relay stuff his audience (I include myself in that) have heard him say multiple times over the past year.

Thank you Dr. Haier for all your work in neuroscience and cognitive research. It’s greatly appreciated and I hope there will be even more insights into neurological and intelligence research that will open the window to how human consciousness functions.

By far my favourite discussion so far. I listened to it twice. I could have easily listened to the discussion on this subject for another few hours. There is just so much on this to discuss, and it's one of my personal interests. My professor covered the genetic components of intelligence in my human evolution class. Unfortunately he was fired and the class was changed to flora & fauna evolution, due to "Racism and sexism" Even though as a woman I found nothing remotely opinion based or sexist about his lectures. However, it lit a fire in me for the subject. Even though my degree is in genetics, I was unable to find work and ended up in computer engineering instead, but I still like to keep up to date with the research. it's nice to listen to discussions like this rather than the one dimensional written dialogue of research papers. Thank you again for having Dr. Hier on, please do ask him to come on again.

That fancy intro though

Very interesting. I got curious about intelligence after I was diagnosed with adhd a few years ago. Always thought I was somewhat intelligent, but not much above average. Barely graduated high school and struggled with education afterwards. Then I got the diagnosis and received therapy and medication. I couldn't believe the effect that had! It's been a wild couple of years for me, and I'm now almost done with my master's degree in IT-law! :D

This is truly excellent content Mr Peterson. I am a geologist by education and trade, though this field of research interests me greatly, the implications of the things discussed here affect everybody. I have a very good memory, which has benefited me throughout life , giving me an advantage in most academic situations. I feel that part of consciousness and personality come from how we learn to use our brains in early life. When I need to remember something, I have noticed that I tend to strip things down in a way that other people I know do not, I seem to be able to get to the root of the thing I am trying to remember, which makes the task of remembering it that much simpler. Most people seem to remember lots of noise that surrounds an issue, perhaps they are more socially aware than I am, so they are paying attention to things that I am simply not concerned with.

I identify as a genius.

Dr. Pederson has really helped me out the past few months. I've gotten myself out of the deli department at Vons and into a personal trainers job at 24 Hour Fitness. Thank you for you mind and intellect sir.

This channel is one of the most valuable sources of information. Keep up the great work! A huge thank you from Germany.

I remember reading some papers years ago that demonstrated a considerable effect of speaking multiple languages on resisting the functional deficits of Alzheimer's disease, despite no apparent diminution of the physical disease processes. I've had some similar personal experience with compensating for cognitive impairments by remapping the impaired functions through different schemes of symbolism. The most striking example followed from my almost total loss of the use of numbers following a fever in 1999. After a few years living with the impairment, it came upon me to consider other numerical systems, and I found impairments to be much less severe in other systems, and I was able to use numbers again, provided I used alphabetical, additive numbers system rather than a purely numerical, positional system. With practice in additive, alphabetical systems, I found the impairments in usage of modern non-alphabetical, positional numbers systems were attenuated considerably. There was an initial burst of improvement, but in the years since then impairment has continued to attenuate at a lesser but still demonstrable rate.
