With that out of the way I am familiar with what you are suggesting about IQ. You're suggesting
that Rushton's (and Lynn's) studies are biased while Wichert's is somehow unbiased because he
comes up with a higher IQ and thus its not "so" bad. Wichert's research is basically a bunch of
data manipulating rubbish where he specifically threw out low scores of Sudan because
supposedly its not Sub Saharan and also he also did biased removal of low scores of those who
had illness but not high scores of those who had any illness. Basically he managed to fudge the
numbers up to 82 while Lynn's study said 70, international tests said 74. So ok lets take the
average and say 72, still retarded. You honestly want to argue those 2 points that bad? Yeah ok
Rushton & Lynn maybe were off and "biased" by two IQ points, wow, amazing. In the scientific
community that doesn't discredit you, not even close, the research still stands with minor caveats.
Here's the simple argument : IQ is 80% heritable, if you're low IQ its because you're genetically
low IQ. The big difference in average IQ between two groups is genetic, just by heritability
alone.
Things are a lot less mysterious and difficult to understand when you look at it through the prism
of reality: dark skin, african origin and sickle cell anemia are highly correlated. As for hispanics,
even less mysterious: hispanics are a mixture of white, native and black. You'd have to be
seriously stupid to think that such a bizarre genetic abnormality as sickle cell anemia would
spontaneously happen anywhere there is malaria. Genetic abnormalities from different regions,
from different times and different genetic populations will always differ in their genetic markers
and their expression. If you see a very specific disease type it will always have the same source. I
mean just research this shit, the mutation Asians got for malarial resistance is called the
Hemoglobin-D Punjab and it is unique to people who are ancestrally from the Punjab region,
you'd never mistaken it for sickle cell anemia which is African in origin. Do I seriously have to
explain this shit like you're 5? You're just playing stupid to get a rise out of me, quit it.
"Regardless being a certain race doesn’t necessarily give me certain attributes. If I were Asian it
wouldn’t mean I was automatically smart. If I was black I wouldn’t automatically mean I’m an
athlete."
Nice straw man, who said anything about every individual following the trend of the average?
No one, you're arguing with yourself on that one.
" A person given the right materials and resources can accomplish almost anything in life, some
just are luckier than others."
This is typical goalpost shifting, because if you fail in life you always have an easy excuse to
push your failure off to: "Oh I just got unlucky!". This is a loser's way of seeing the world. No,
you can't accomplish anything you want because there's thousands of people trying to also
succeed and there are not enough spots under the sun. You can do your best and fail, only people
who are overly coddled wouldn't know that.
" The point is that there is no point in dividing people by race since we are defined by so many
things much more important than race. "
Sure you can think there is no point but the reality is that research shows that groups that act
ethnocentrically win in game theory because they are always able to optimize their cooperation
towards only people who they know will cooperate with them (their in-group) . You can be an
altruist but you are just painting a target on your back: groups that think in terms of group
politics will exploit you and beat you. You'll be resigned to fate while they will be crafting their
own fate.
1.Have you actually studied the Heritability of IQ? It's never estimated lower than 60 and its as
high as 86 in modern studies. I am actually giving you a pretty moderate estimate, this is well
known stuff.
2. Since I guess you don't know this stuff let me break it down: Identical twin studies. Same
genes, different environments. You can control for the adoptive environment by determining
categories like Family Functioning and Parent Depression, etc. Even with all of this controlled
for the Heritability is 80%. Incidentally, there is basically no correlation between socioeconomic
status and IQ in these studies, which liberals tend to claim is the most important factor in
academic progress. It isn't, the main factors are how sociable a child is and how much raw
intellect he has, the family situation really only affects them in dysfunctional families, which are
controlled out. So yeah, a good family can give you a 20% boost but 80% is just what you
inherited. This doesn't just mean genetics, it can be epigenetics, maternal factors like flora,
hormones and mtDNA, but that is still all functions of DNA its still all from the same source:
your parents, the stuff you inherit regardless of if its literally DNA or not.
3. The Black-White IQ gap widens with age, even if blacks start with some inherent
disadvantage then it would stay constant. The reason its genetic is because IQ Heritability grows
with age, you only get to 80% when you become an adult. That is the B-W gap is smaller at early
age before higher brain functions develop because in our early stages of development all races
are essentially the same. Its the fancy stuff in the frontal cortex that suddenly makes us totally
different people in terms of intellect, discipline , verbal proficiency and all that fancy stuff that
blacks underperform in.
4. IQ subtests are very varied, some of them are designed to test mental features that are heritable
while others test features that are less heritable. If, for example, IQ is 50% heritable you'd expect
to see the same racial gap between heritable subtests and ones that are lesser, because in that case
heritablity and environment have the same effect so the gap should not change based on subtest.
Guess what? It does, and when you calculate the implied heritability it is yet again... 80%.
Anyways, that should give you a little guide on why its 80%, simple stuff. Finally about the
environment: Humans create their own environment. You don't have crops or food or technology
without someone thinking about it and applying themselves. Thus the idea that environment is
somehow random or uncontrolled or not related to your genetics is a seriously questionable
assertion to make. If IQ is 80% Heritable and human intellect is the motor of innovation and
environmental craftsmanship that means that even the presence of the environment is 80%
genetic. But ok, you can have that 20% for now even if that's a seriously doubtful assertion.
By the way, there is nothing deterministic about the individual's fate when I say that high IQ is
mostly determined by your parents. If you are 2 standard deviations above the average then you
can be either a lawyer or a scientist, its your choice what you want to funnel your intellect and
passion into and this is just as true in Africa as it is in the USA. Individual fate is not
deterministic, the fate of a group of people is, underachieving groups underachieve because they
on average inherit less of an ability to achieve. Its sort of like quantum mechanics and
thermodynamics: the individual quantum features can be very varied, but when you average
them you seem to always get the same thing. So even if a bunch of molecules follow very
different paths their average temperature remains the same. You can't deconstruct me. It wont
work, I already know all your moves.
As for "not enough time for speciation", that's just a matter of opinion, there are finches which
barely differ from each other but are considered different species, meanwhile for humans:
https://imgur.com/a/nbiWV8N You can't compare humans to other animals, humans have had
extremely rapid brain growth in the past 1 million years, every thousand years is a lot of time.
You clearly have not researched human evolution so I will explain it in simple terms: humans are
a success story of a retroviral infection acting in synergy with a species evolution. Our massive
brain size to body ratio is due to a duplication of the retrovirus putting in copies of genes that
cause the brain to get larger into our genome. We went from 500 mL brains to 1400 mL brains in
less than 2 million years. Incidentally, the brain size difference between races is not insignificant
and IQ does correlate with brain size.
Humans cooperate with their in-group, they generally only cooperate with other groups when its
beneficial to their in group and exploit other human groups (or even kill them) when it benefits
their in-group. Have you read any history? Humans are all about subjugation of the weaker
group, not singing Kumbaya. Of course you're a globalist, lmfao, fuck that shit, that marxist
conspiracy is never happening no matter how many evil rats try to push it through.
" I’m gonna save you some time, you won’t find any evidence for this because it doesn’t exist. "
this is a statement of dogma, not fact. To be honest its shocking that someone like you can
believe this. I don't think you are stupid but at this point you are doing little but give lip service
to the dominant ideology of our day. You've been presented with evidence that the differences
are not skin deep but still deny it even in the face of overwhelming evidence.
Anyways, I know this wont convince anyone as blinded by dogma as you, but I will entertain
your "find the gene" query. From "Genome-wide association studies establish that human
intelligence is highly heritable and polygenic": "In summary, we report the first study to show
that a large proportion of the heritability estimate of intelligence in middle to older adulthood can
be traced to biological variation using SNP data. It is the first to show biologically and
unequivocally that human intelligence is highly polygenic and that purely genetic (SNP)
information can be used to predict intelligence. "
From "Childhood intelligence is heritable, highly polygenic and associated with FNBP1L":
"Although no individual single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were detected with genome-
wide significance, we show that the aggregate effects of common SNPs explain 22–46% of
phenotypic variation in childhood intelligence in the three largest cohorts (P = 3.9 10E-15, 0.014
and 0.028). FNBP1L, previously reported to be the most significantly associated gene for adult
intelligence, was also significantly associated with childhood intelligence (P = 0.003)" (P value
cut off is generally 0.05, as you can see the P values here are miniscule meaning that the genetic
basis of these effects is guaranteed)
From "The new genetics of intelligence" published this year: "It is possible to use multiple GPSs
to boost the power to predict intelligence by aggregating GPSs in a way analogous to
aggregating SNPs to produce GPSs (BOX 3). Including the EA2 GPS, IQ2 GPS and other GPSs
in this multivariate way can already predict up to 7% of the variance in intelligence36,37"
Its not limited to just intelligence, even anti-social behavior is genetically linked. MAO-A with
shorter VNTR numbers cause more aggression and anti-social behavior. Blacks have 10-52 times
(!!!) more of the 2R variant (most antisocial) than Whites.
The Flynn effect is nice, except it affects smarter races more strongly: the Black-White SAT gap
is only getting larger, because guess what? Higher IQ = Build a better environment, if IQ is 80-
20 then Whites get a buff to their 20 while blacks only get a buff to their 14, even environmental
effects favor those who are already higher in IQ. Who said anything about discrimination or free
society or how citizens should be treated? I said, quite simply, that its a false claim to say that
there are no biological differences between races. No one has come up with any argument
against that, just excuses and angry accusations of me being a nazi. Its not my problem that you
guys believe bullshit its your duty to educate yourself.

Europeans are a large part Neanderthal, its a well known fact, so talking about body types is
pointless. There's a reason why Caucasians are generally the strongest people and the best
swimmers but not generally good short distance runners. It's a large part due to our more
developed upper body physique from Neanderthal ancestry. Honestly, I am not that interested in
the OOA hypothesis, other than it does not prove that humans are closely related or have recent
ancestral divergence, ok we might have came from Africa 300k years ago, so what? We're
basically different species at this point. I am far more interested in you justifying your claim that
IQ differences are not genetic, which you have made no progress on.
You keep hitting the same wall over and over again, individuals being smart does not contradict
that the general population is retarded. Individual traits can vary a lot but the population remains
consistent, a smart black man doesn't contradict anything I said. You're still arguing at a high
school level against arguments that are college level, its ineffective, up your game. There's far
more white geniuses than black geniuses, I like Neil deGrasse Tyson a lot, but he is the
exception that proves the rule not vice versa.
Your article contradicts what you said, it gives an excessively low estimate of IQ heritability that
isn't supported by data but even 50% contradicts everything you said. You've been claiming
there's no difference in races but cite an article that says 50% of IQ is hereditary (the figure is
bullshit but you've been claiming 0%, so the article doesn't support what you claim). The modern
data says 60-86% is the right estimate for adult heritability.
By the way, you're again not citing primary research, I am getting annoyed at having to point this
out since you gave me a lot of shit about my sources. Check the primary source that your source
cites, this one: Plomin R, Deary IJ. Genetics and intelligence differences: five special findings.

heritability might increase to as much as 80% in later adulthood47 but then decline to about 60%

Quit being so lazy bro. I want you to do this, since its clear what I am writing to you isn't making
a difference: Type in "heritability of IQ" into google and go through the results. You will see that
once you stop looking for biased web sites that support your claims that the general consensus is
in fact that IQ is highly heritable, about 80% in adulthood.
TheNuklearAge 2 weeks ago @2chin4u Sorry, you can't have it both ways. I cited research that
supports what I said, I am very familiar with the Science community and 90% of said community
generally does not make any public statements or voice any opinions, the data speaks for itself.
Scientific consensus is meaningless on controversial issues, only the data matters. Your opinion
and your data can diverge a lot simply because scientists are dependent on public support and
thus easily intimidated into saying the right words to avoid consequences. I am saying what I say
openly because I am not in danger of any kind of consequences for a variety of reasons, that is,
my situation is not the norm and thus the reference frame I am speaking from is not the general
reference frame. The scientists don't have an agenda, they're just soft white collar people who are
intimidated by militant liberals.
