Random Politics & Religion #28: The Last One

scientific rascism and eugenics beliefs of the 1880-1940’s manifesting in today’s society.

Scientific racism sounds like fun do I get to use a beaker and a test tube ?

Well if you get that ancestry DNA test. You can claim all sorts of races. So I don't know pick Other under race.

Probably.

The way he stated it wasn't exactly accurate, its not about absolute race but gene pool and selective pressure. Humans are not born genetically equal, intelligence and athletic ability are predominately based on genetics, as well as personality and a whole bunch of other attributes. Genetics makes up the basic framework us humans develop in and also limits our potential.

Two IQ 145 (IQ isn't a very good measure but it's what we got to work with) genius's have three children, the odds are very high though not absolute that those children will also be genius's. Two superb professional athletes also have three children, the odds are very high, though again not absolute, that those children will be athletically gifted. This concept is pretty easy to understand and can be seen in effect throughout the world since life discovered sex.

Now apply this same concept to historically separate gene pools that selected for different things. Watch as this serves to generate a different genetic framework for each of them. Wealthy aristocrats had children that were genetically predisposed to being more intelligent then children of mere peasants. This is also the reason so many cultures are fanatical about tracking lineage and blood lines.

Had China, with it's advanced culture, decided to colonize and globalize the world, we'd all be speaking Chinese, talking about "Chinese Privilege" and complaining about all those Chinese families with their undeserved wealth.

The science on genetics is sound, and it can't be refuted.

Now acting on and trying to craft social policy around that science is horrific and inhumane. Separate the knowledge and science from the social policy.

The only genetics I remember is from watching that movie Gattaca.

Here is a good idea on the average IQ on a per-country basis. This isn't sorted by race but by country.

The Asians pretty much own everyone followed by Europeans and then African continent at the bottom end. IQ's tend to go up over time, provided the environment is a stable resource rich one. The discrepancies can largely be explained by environmental factors, especially when we consider that at one point in time the African empires were some of the oldest and greatest in the world.

About the Flynn effect, that's largely about how the environment impacts the ability for a person to reach their potential. Take those children from the super athletes, their genetic potential is very high, yet if they are in an environment that's replete with malnutrition and resource poor, they will never reach their potential. Same with the children from the genius's, if their environment doesn't provide the appropriate resources they'll never hit their potential.

I'm going to the flea market:

First you would have to define intelligence.

We Ashkenazi Jews are top scorers on IQ tests, averaging 124 on the Wechsler-Bellevue. The Japanese come in second at 117. But what does it mean? The only thing it predicts is how well you are going to do on your next IQ test.

Last I heard science had defined over 30 different types of intelligence. No idea how many, if any, are tested for in IQ tests.

More medical studies about racial IQ differences and environmental vs genetic, the results is the disparity is largely genetic.

So yeah, don't be a racist *** and treat people as individuals.

As I said


It's workable for general learning ability. The numerous human talents and personalty traits, of which intelligence is merely one of, is hard to quantify. We use this method because it's the best one that's available and when applied to a large enough group it works. Intelligence being linked to genetics is irrefutable, just like height, hair color, and personality. The reasons for discrepancies are also pretty easy to suss out, provided there isn't an omnipresent entity demanding the "Politically Correct Right Answers".

Now what do we do about it? Not a damn thing, it's not the governments place to go around mucking with social policy based on genetics. Nothing good can come of that. In time it will all even out.

Took that IQ test from that link of Savael's.

Got a 131.2 on it.

Yeah, yeah, I know that online IQ tests aren't indicative to actual IQ, and IQ doesn't mean anything really, but still.

Ranked 92 Percentile. Not the best, but I'll take it.

life is *** weird. never heard that word in 34 years and now I've heard, or seen, more accurately, the bugger twice today. life is an odd ride.

That is just click bait, it's not where the data came from. The only reason I linked it is that it's got a nice list of averaged IQ by country with clear colored graphics.


That itself took it's data from several studies with a big one being in 2001.

That's why I provided second from a medical publisher itself full of references to actual studies. There is more but they are usually behind a paywall so I'm trying to only provide stuff that others can verify if they so choose.

It seems that telling easily disprovable lies a catchable disease.

Openers:

No one is burning flags so who *** cares?

Oh poo.

Are you ok with people burning gay pride flags while shouting anti-gay rhetoric and calling for the deaths of gay people?

and its not like they don't have options.

Yeah the middle area is quite misleading, they present the data from another source and then try to bait you into giving them ad revenue by providing a cheesy "IQ test".

lol

burning gay pride flags, yes. shouting anti-gay rhetoric, yes. Calling for the deaths of gay people, *** no.
Freedom of speech has limits.

Of course Zero cant resist the urge to cry “racist” either. Race has its predominant foundations in geographical location. If you take proto man and place him in dofferent location across the globe, there is no logical argument that you can make that would suggest all of those locations would evolve and prosper in the same manner. Some might be generally smarter than others and some might be generally more physically capable than others.

That doesnt mean any particular society would be objectively inferior to another, but they would all be different (not equal) from each other.
