    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

    ooooo

    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?

    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.

    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.

    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

    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
