Summary

An email thread from July 2016 between cognitive scientist Joscha Bach and Jeffrey Epstein (using the email jeevacation@gmail.com). They discuss theoretical topics including intelligence distribution (Bell curves), gender differences in IQ variance, the nature of cells and organisms, and the relationship between mathematics, censorship, and political correctness. Epstein's writing in the thread is characterized by numerous typos and disjointed philosophical musings.

Subject: Re: Mechanisms for learning
Importance: High
Average humans are probably not fully able to learn how to program etc. Fraction of people that reshape the
world are at the right end of the Bell curves, so difference in variation means fewer women. We tend to be more
interested in the outliers. Have people explicitly evolved to be not to be too smart on average, or is general
intelligence so hard to get from human brains?

Cells seem to be mostly indistinguishable (except for XX), I thought?
Size is different on average, but males with small brains are still male.
Variation of all traits is higher for males, so there are more high IQ men (wider bell-curve). Given average
brain size difference, the small difference in average IQ is surprising, I think

I think that mathematics based thinking does not allow for censorship. money people concepts if they are
all math , then poliiical correctness and their structures are only subsets of a larger group of thoughts. its
not emotinal for me.
most people have censorship built in at a deep level, social reasoning gets to different results than equivalent
abstract reasoning
