Listen I know there's no evidence that Santa isn't real, but what if he was real though, kinda unscientific to make unsubstantiated claims about his non-existence
yeah but Santa would be a stretch given what we know about the world. physics limits the ability of someone to travel that fast, not everyone has chimneys, parents all know they buy their kids their own presents, etc
not from what I've read
I've read they do play a role
and why wouldn't they play a role? genes determine every single thing about us
What have you read?
Drop some sources
I TOOK EM BOTH
I was just putting it in proper historical context. Zionists often treat the Holocaust like an ahistorical event.
Why did you feel the need to give historical context for something completely different.
i don't think it requires that much brainpower to recognize that both statements can be true
It kinda does. There’s no other ethnicity that is a religion as well.
Why did you feel the need to give historical context for something completely different.
Because the racialist explanations of history are shallow and should be expanded upon
And if those are the most that can arise from 10,000 years of evolution than the idea that brain shape or whatever is gonna be affected is a wild notion that is only being sought out for confirmation bias if racists
who says those are the most that can arise from 10,000 years?
it's not brain shape that would be changing. it could be as simple as increased neuronal density, more of a certain chemical, more energy devoted to brain development during childhood
nah you have it backwards. you are denying it's possible because you're terrified that it might implicate something you're very uncomfortable with. that's confirmation bias
Also there are two fatal flaws with any study on IQ and race being used to prove that intelligence is influenced by "race", which is that IQ does not even accurately measure intelligence and that "race" is not even based on genetic differences.
Give me just one study that shows this and I'll explain to you in detail why you're wrong
Just one tho bc i dont have all the time
Because the racialist explanations of history are shallow and should be expanded upon
But it didn't tho lol what you said didn't bring any value to his question
I didn’t check yet but know for a fact Bestowed probably in here whooping y’all asses up & down the thread. Holla if you see me playa.
Ngl you should check it, there’s some interesting answers here and I’m learning some new s*** from a lot of posters ITT
The only reasonable explain ive heard is that whiteness is a concept, its not as literal the color of ones skin
Many different types of people werent considered “white” throughout history. The italians, irish, etc. Even though they are white
Whiteness is just the dominant hegemony and those considered “in the club” get to pick and choose whos in it
Well yes, in our time and society both Germans and European Jews are seen as part of the same category of “white”, but the point is that in 1940s Germany, many people believed that Germans and European Jews were two distinct racial groups. Similarly, in today’s America all Europeans are more or less “white”, yet ~150 years ago there would’ve been a big distinction drawn even just between those of English descent and all other Europeans.
Or perhaps another way, what was the motivation behind the Nazi views on Slavs, if not race of some sort, despite both Germans and Poles being white in our contemporary context?
if bro keeps playing dumb after this its not worth engaging anymore god damn

Okay so first of all this is about the factors on specifically "high intelligence", not any other variations in intelligence. So it does not look at the factors that influence differences between low and average intelligence.
Second of all it does not investagate differences based on "race". Yes, it does provide evidence that "high intelligence is "familial, heritable, and caused by the same genetic and environmental factors responsible for the normal distribution of intelligence". But you are making the baseless assumption that these genetics are different between "races".
Lastly, heritability =\= genetic. H=.7 does not mean that 70% of somebody's trait is determined by genes. It would mean that 70% of the variability in the trait in a population is due to genetic differences among people. And that population lives in an environment, the heritablity can change when the population's environment changes.
Tldr; you have no idea what you're talking about and should probably just stop talking

The Flynn effect alone is enough evidence that these guys theories are bullshit

you asked me to provide a source that shows genes influence intelligence
The Flynn effect alone is enough evidence that these guys theories are bullshit
no it doesn't. that just shows that a rising tide has been lifting all boats
some boats will still be built taller and shorter than others
you asked me to provide a source that shows genes influence intelligence
Backtracking
You claimed itt that race plays a part
no it doesn't. that just shows that a rising tide has been lifting all boats
some boats will still be built taller and shorter than others
No because the rising tide has not been the same for all groups dummy
Backtracking
You claimed itt that race plays a part
actually you're the one backtracking. you said you'd prove me wrong but you didn't
God I hate these race realism mfs so much
Not just because they're racist but their smug attitude that it's "just science" when they don't know s*** about it
actually you're the one backtracking. you said you'd prove me wrong but you didn't
And I did, race doesn't influence intelligence as measured by IQ
No because the rising tide has not been the same for all groups dummy
that doesn't prove what you're saying it proves. just because there are other factors like environmental that distort the ability to measure intelligence fairly, doesn't mean that genes don't also play a role
