> 3.5% genetic association with intelligence means that 96.5% is not genetic.

No. It does not mean that. As I literally just explained to you: a specific PGS variance != SNP heritability != heritability. (How could you possibly think that when I also just explained to you in my other comment that the current IQ SOTA is 11% and you replied acknowledging as much?) The best estimate of intelligence heritability in adulthood at the peak, using measurement-error-corrected estimates, is 70-80%. Very far from 3.5%. Or 11%, or 30%, or 50% for that matter.
