I was not saying that everyone would have the same level of intelligence, but merely that the baseline might be high enough that violence becomes less of an issue. That was the original subject.
I was not saying that everyone would have the same level of intelligence, but merely that the baseline might be high enough that violence [sic] becomes less of an issue.
I would argue that the higher the variance the more of an issue variance becomes.
What do you mean “sic”? “violence” was what I meant. The original comment was:
Given that intelligence, self-control, personality, and so on all feed into propensity for violent crime
Now, it may not be the case that if you raise everyone’s intelligence that violence decreases, but it’s plausible that this is the case (given the original argument).
I didn’t use the word variance and didn’t mean to. I respectfully ask for the downvote rescinded.

Similar to drethelin’s comment.

Edit: Ignore this, I misread macolmmcc’s comment.
