I don't think golf and tennis increases IQ
He's saying that low-class culture does not include quality education or quality influencers. Note that I'm not using influencer in the traditional sense here; I'm referring to anyone - dads, friends, acquaintances - who influences the child.
What I'm saying is that IQ tests specifically contain questions on esoteric matters that either don't matter or can't be accessed below a certain income.
I don't think this is true. It's an anti-goal of "modern" IQ tests (with a generous definition of "modern").
Gluten reduces IQ (jk)
Lots of good reason to believe nutrition does.
