Our conversation explores the topic of the heritability of IQ and personality, as well as the relationship between intelligence and fertility. It also touches on the differences between men and women in terms of intelligence and achievement.

We also discuss various topics related to gender norms, masculinity, Jewish overrepresentation, and the relationship between cognitive ability and political views. We also touch on the influence of democracy and values on political beliefs.
