It seems surprising that IQ would not be heritable. Literally everything else is heritable.

Height, skin colour, sporting ability, body weight, eye colour, cancer risk, most disease risk, beauty.

Why would IQ be mostly random when other things are very heritable?

Occums razor says pick the simplest hypothesis that explains the data. The onus is on the blank slate crew to find some good data to demonstrate that IQ is not mostly heritable.
