same with the chinese really. Poor work ethics, and poor overall efficiency, but a LOT of work hours makes up for it.

sorry Japanese*

yea im sure zimbabwe is a real ancap paradise my dude

Meritocracy is more than just capitalism

Meritocracy does not result in a higher average IQ, unless you can point me to a study which proves such a claim

did you just skip the chapter of history class where the ANC took ideoligcal contro lof southern africa with backing by the soviet union?

We're considering complex factors. Don't demand a study for such an abstract idea

you're trying to shift the burden of proof.

you came to us.

There are many perfectly reasonable explanations to IQ variations, that can be proved by looking at genetics and differing evolutionary pressures on populations living in different environments.

Then we need more race mixing

Lol why?

@franti To lower the IQ of whites and Asians? That's stupid

what is your alternative?

http://www.heritage.org/index/heatmap

heh, franti, there was an end blurb of a news report here about IQ ceilings being reached, that suggested we go out and find us an East Asian mate

don't come to us spouting shit about blacks being inferior and then act coy when it comes to policy.

Going back to Africans nations being captialist

To not forcefully mix races and let individuals choose for themselves who they want to reproduce with? @radeon

whos forcing races to mix?

He is dodgy

lmao

I didn't claim blacks were inferior, by that logic I claimed that whites were inferior to asians

What are the policies

no maam you *must* fuck this black man

This is pretty typical

Just because I point out differences doesn't mean I'm claiming one race to be''inferior'' to another

The policy implications are scary and racism so let's ignore genetics

Then we have no problem

Evolution

you did link the low IQ to negative societal effects

Let's ignore crime, economic development and culture so we won't be called racist for pointing out the obvious differences between racial groups

bring us to your conslusion, oh wokest one

They're getting sensitive

can we get a show of hands of everyone who actively denied that there are differences between races?

There is a correlation between the wealth of a nation and the average IQ of its citizens

So lowering the average IQ wouldn't be a good idea

If you are in favour of universal human right than the policy implications matter

Through mixing up the races

You tried to wave it away

you're implying race mixing lowers IQ, which again you have no proof for

Now who's being coy

you clearly don't understand hgow genetics work because you actually aren't a perfect half between your parents

@radeon If you mix a black person with an IQ of 70 with a White person with an IQ of 105 you are going to get a child that has an IQ lower than 105. That is pretty basic genetics

not really

@radeon Never claimed you are a ''perfect half'', but certainly lower

That is not necessarily true, although it appears likely

Very likely, in fact

by your same logic if a person with blue eyes has a child with a person with green eyes their eyes would be teal

that of course isnt the case

Who has the dominant gene?

how do you know the genes that promote higher IQ aren't dominant?

@Boris Todbringer You just showed that you really have no idea how genetics works

I am talking about averages here

The dominant Gene will take over even if the other gene is different

i love this, 4th grader tier genetics

That's not how genetics work

Except intelligence is not controlled by a single gene

genetics don't work with averages

let me explain it to you how this works

think of your genetic code as a wrestling team

Even if the white parent has the dominant gene, the IQ will likely not be higher than 105 regardless. Are you impliying that the other parent's genes have no influence on the child's genetic makeup? @meratrix

Btw we still dont know what the majority of our genes do

eaach gene is a wrestler, and the other set of genes from the other parent are a roughly equivieent team with some genes weaker but some stronger

If the other parents gene is recessive than it has no affect as long as the other gene is dominant

I meant DNA sorry

@Boris Todbringer

the child will be the winners if you pair up those two teams

the dominant gene

@Boris Todbringer You honestly know absolutley nothing about genetics

its not like you have literally every gene from both parents

Genes do not work like averages

If your dad is 6'1 and your mother is 4'11 you have a much lower chance of being more than 6'1 because of the influence your mother's height will have on your height. You clearly don't know anything about genetics either. It is true that the dad's genes may be dominant, but that doesn't render the genes of the other parent completely futile @meratrix

thats factually untrue

your height is largely random within a specific range

If you mix a pygmy with a Nordic, should we expect the child to be either 100% black or 100% white? No, the child would be somewhere in the middle

That is just stupid

for all we know 6'1 is short for the dads family and you inherit the dads gene and become 6'5

height is actually largely determined by genes interacting with the environment

not just the genes themselves

> genes interacting with the environment

are you trolling us?

me?

no

The environment that you grow up in has no effect on your genetic makeup, lmao

the environment does have an effect on the human body

how do genes interact with anything but other genes

It doesn't have an effect on your genes, stupid @meratrix

lol don't try to use this as a gotcha you're still wrong

stunted growth from disease for example,you may have been tall, but if growth is stunted that won't happen

but thats not genetic

yes, but it is part of height, which he brought up

trying to get a gotcha

Can you answer my question then? Shouldn't we expect the offpsring between a pygmy from the Congo basin and someone from Northern Europe to either be 100% white or 100% black? That makes no sense @radeon

If your gene theory were to be correct, that would be the result

no, because there are multiple genetic pairs that go into pigmentation

same with hair color

are you speaking in terms of melanin content?

and eye color

There are also multiple genetic pairs that go into your IQ and your height
