Topic: Iq Points

The show concludes with a critique of a "Meet the Press" segment on marijuana legalization. The hosts mock David Brooks and other pundits for their hypocrisy and the claim that regular teenage use results in the loss of "eight IQ points." Adam and John sign off, reminding listeners to support the show for the upcoming Sunday episode.

Malcolm Gladwell's new book, "Outliers," and its promotion of the "10,000-hour rule" for expertise are analyzed. The hosts challenge the idea that talent does not exist, citing examples of child prodigies and rapid skill acquisition. They suggest that the promotion of this theory is part of a "self-esteem movement" designed to downplay natural intelligence and high IQ.
