Intelligence is roughly: 80% hereditary 0% from childhood environment 20% from unknown factors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTF_XVspfDM
Wikipedia is wrong (due to massive leftist egalatarian bias in Wikipedia and their media sources). The best research using twin and adoption studies puts IQ heredity at ~80%, with the other 20% from unknown factors.…
That's not "the patriarchy", it's just traditional gender norms. There is a very big difference.
You seem to have it backwards, predictions that have been made have consistently overestimated climate change. Typically the real temperature change is at or below the bottom of their ranges. This is the "global warming…
It was a fine article up until it repeated this Great Lie: "The amount of senseless shootings and beatings by the police towards other people of color is alarming." No, it isn't. Police shootings of blacks are right in…
You don't even need to look that hard. Poor eyesight has no adaptive benefit. Yet many, many people need glasses. I guess it's just 'difficult' for our genes to grow a sharp eye focusing system, so they often get it…
There are reasons. China has a long history of advanced (for the time) civilization and a high-IQ population (~105). They were backward for just a few centuries because of a series of bad ideologies - isolationism,…
The hypothesis I put forth (implicitly) is that homosexual genes are still around because of the massive social pressure to have children and to never admit being gay. Now that this pressure is gone, we could see a huge…
It's not in every culture, it's between cultures as well. Africa adds 30 millions people every year. Pretty much everywhere outside of Africa is below replacement fertility. In the 20th century, Africans were 10-15% of…
Not in 200 years. What we're seeing now is a partial die-off. Eventually, evolution will re-assert itself. The sub-populations who, for whatever reason, continue to grow in population will come to dominate the numbers,…
Families breed with other families similar to themselves.
My old hypothesis is that in a reasonably free society, families reach their "destination" socioeconomic status after 3 generations. Even if they immigrate as refugees on rusty boats, or lose everything in a holocaust…
Blacks aren't poor because of some external injustice. They're poor because, as a group, their culture and low average IQ leave them poorly equipped for modern economic life. That's not to say they don't deserve help,…
A Baphomet pentagram hidden under the arrow would've been a lot more amusing.
Those rates were basically fiction. All they led to (and the only reason they could be levied) was a huge system of fake on-paper money-losing schemes. People would arrange all sorts of business ventures and other…
Markets don't exist without states? Do you not believe that markets existed 1000, 2000, 5000 years ago, in areas that were tribal or feudal or in anarchy? Do you not believe that markets exist in Somalia and other…
She wrote, "Retrospection involved re-categorizing things that happened to me and re-evaluating past actions and decisions, which led me to feel ashamed, slighted, or self-pitying (I became a feminist during the time I…
"(generally)" ? But you're right, it's sad how many people insist on feeling smart by taking a general statement as a universal statement and nitpicking it. It's so tiring.
Hong Kong, perhaps? Or Chinese-American? I was really focusing on mainlanders; I've not noticed this from people born in the West. And less in Hong Kong (though still present).
By this logic, I can just murder anyone I like, and then demonstrate that I won't do it again. After that, no reason to keep me in prison any more right? It's not like the dead person or their family count for anything…
It's quite a stretch to know that one group has a higher average IQ (by ~10 points) and yet still insist that there is some other explanation for why they are economically successful in every society. I mean seriously.…
I don't necessarily disagree with your analysis. Or that of others here. My point is that it's irrelevant in terms of how history affects peoples' actions. You're engaging a detailed study of historical reality, but the…
What you said would also apply to, say, the British Empire, which was very Christian for its entire existence. Most people don't really care about the details of history that much - just whatever narrative they can spin…

Great! Hey lusen - you've got a guy here willing to pay a few pennies to the social justice virtue signaling fund! This guy really puts his money where is mouth is! Just find a billion more people at his level of…
