Intelligence is Not a Static Value
Some recent philosophers seem to have given their moral approval to these deplorable verdicts that affirm that the intelligence of an individual is a fixed quantity, a quantity that cannot be augmented. We must protest and react against this brutal pessimism; we will try to demonstrate that it is founded on nothing.
Notes:
We must fight this "brutal pessimism" and argue for the dynamic nature of IQ.
