Thanks. It seems I have been censored, however. My new posts no longer show up when I'm logged out. No reason given. I also can't create another account. My guess is it's because I said IQ was hereditary? Hard to tell…
Yeah, it was disappointing to read the cringe-y kowtowing apology edited onto the end of the article. This stuff is just everywhere nowadays.
I've actually found it works a lot better if both people just allow the contentious statements. Just let each person say, "Oh that's ridiculous because..." and the other replies with "You're totally missing this…
Intelligence is roughly: 80% hereditary 0% from childhood environment 20% from unknown factors https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hTF_XVspfDM
A surplus just means "more than you need". Other poster isn't necessarily making any statement that Americans are dumb overall. But there is a surplus of low-IQ people. In the modern (and definitely future) economy,…
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.…
There's a rule that works very well: If a headline is a question, the answer is "No." It works 99% of the time, including this time. Saved you a click!
That's not "the patriarchy", it's just traditional gender norms. There is a very big difference.
It's pretty trivial to apply these signals to nearly any collectivist social movement. 1. Action for action's sake - Black Lives Matter protests to block highways. 2. Exploit the fear of difference - Those horrible…
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…
You think the mainstream news avoids people making dire predictions? Dire events and predictions are their entire business model (along with identity politics squabbles and celebrity sex gossip).
Wait wait. So: 1. White people commit racism and violence against blacks causes 2. White people flee to the suburbs causes 3. Urban centers to deteriorate. Let's examine: 1->2 So white people were fleeing... their own…
>If women are disadvantaged Except they're not. In fact, in tech, they're advantaged. Female names on resumes get more callback than male names. This has been studied. The reason there are fewer of them is because fewer…
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,…
Everything you described is simply ways that rich people avoid living around poor people. Yes, it generally excludes blacks, but that's incidental and only because blacks tend to be poor. On the flipside, these policies…
A Baphomet pentagram hidden under the arrow would've been a lot more amusing.
