Do Ireland’s recent economic performance and high PISA scores do anything to suggest the average is now closer to 100? By the 50s and 60s Ireland’s population was at the end of a century-long period of emigration and brain drain, and something feels off about the disparity between it and the UK.
It would be nice if an e-book version (not PDF) of his autobiography were available. My aging eyes make reading PDFs difficult; Kindle books whose font size you can adjust are much better. Is there a conversion app, or is the layout too complex for that?
"It would be historically amusing if Lynn will be chiefly remembered for correctly identifying an environmental effect on intelligence scores."
How do heriditarians account for the Flynn effect? Seems like it proves major environmental influences are possible. Couldn't group differences just be the result of having experienced stronger/longer Flynn effects?

Is it possible to buy a print copy of Lynn’s autobiography? But I prefer reading long books in print rather than on screen.

I had heard that the philosophy departments in Denmark were mainly Analytic Philosophy. I guess I was wrong.
Copenhagen perhaps.
not enough modal logic.
Well done.
Thanks for your Remembrance.
