never gonna happen

even you, yourself, are scarce.

Your very presence is scarce as well. You can only do one thing at a time.

what's the deal with this new impeach talk? I didn't keep up with much this week

they usually latch to an excuse to scream a bit louder.

There is a pattern where people forget the gravity of a problem as it goes away.
Vaccines, in this sense, are so effective people forget what it was too wake up to a quarantine sign on the neighbor's house because his kid fucking died of smallpox

You just need a clean generation

That cycle fits twice or thrice in anyone's lifetime

It's a real shame nothing short of a pandemic will shit those idiots up

Not gonna work.

Don't even bother

And stick to your principles, dammit XD

"more evolved" makes zero sense

It's newer or older.

That has zero bearing in what I said, UnfilteredGarbage.

just give out the article.

the agrarian shift changed majorly around the levant, iirc

where you get your first early civs

300 at hte least, python

that throws the earlier starting dates to around 400k

spread.

you get ethnic differences in just a couple centuries

they're too small to configure speciation, but they are notable

shorter lived creatures are good subjects to study that. One of the best known examples is a type of moth that lives near a series of old factories

the moths' wings were mostly brown-white and camouflaged well against the snowy tree bark.
Then came the smog, coating everything in soot. Camouflage turned into bullseyes, predators ate the fuck out of them.

in just a year the moths were mostly black. And then they cleaned up the air and the situation reversed.

It's a touchy subject, because it was used as a justification for racism in the past

too hard to talk about unless everyone is chill

we can pinpoint a few specific differences. Negroids suffer more glaucoma, Caucasians and Turkics suffer more skin cancer

Those studies are much harder to clean up, tho

Because there's a strong correlation between giving birth to a kid and raising it XD

I'm aware. The sampling is terrible and the study takes decades.
Thus, "much harder to clean up"

but yeah, human sciences would be much more convenient if everyone had a clone to use as a control group

See, those are studies far, FAR more likely to be bullshit than not

You can pinpoint strong, pervasive cultural traditions there, for example

Because strong, pervasive cultural traditions tend to stick for more than one generation.

Migrants don't assimilate into invisibility in that time

backwards or forward don't mean much for this purpose.

transferring from the Temple? Ok

Still on ethnic differences, there are factors that sometimes are obvious in hindsight but subtle that make a big difference.

Here in Brazil, for example. There are very large polish, ucranian, chinese, japanese, italian and german populations, especially in the south and southwest. These migrants are notably, obscenely richer, smarter and healthier than the africans.
Consider the first groups came here "to escape tyranny and work into the -american dream-", while the latters were brought in chains. Very, very different cultures, with very very different priorities. It takes a while for those things to mix up and normalize.

2019-09-25 01:53:30 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

Both were pretty much impoverished to shit at their arrival. Many of the freemen were even discriminated against (especially during WW2. The japanese in particular got fucked hard here), but it's still a major cultural and moral difference.

2019-09-25 01:54:19 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

Better, because being established businessmen discriminated against is a better starting point.

2019-09-25 01:55:04 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

It's hard to give very precise numbers, but the absolute majority of african migration was about slavery. Portugal kinda kickstarted that particular form of slavery in the world here.

2019-09-25 01:55:38 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

(and before this comes up in any form, no one but the actual slavers owe anyone anything for that, and those guys are dead for a century now, so let's not get tangled in that nonsense :p)

2019-09-25 01:57:11 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

always did, always will. the reasons may be dumber or smarter.

2019-09-25 01:58:05 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

here the post-abolitionist situation was a bit different. It was more an all around "bruh this is crap" scenario than institutional segregation.

2019-09-25 01:59:18 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

A far better measurement of how your ancestry influences your IQ is your family's wealth and for how long they actually had any

2019-09-25 02:00:13 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

The slum folk don't own their houses, because the government won't recognize them as rightful owners. That alone fucks up so, SO MUCH.
People of similar ancestry that managed to get a house, maybe a business are faring well, regardless of ethnicity.

2019-09-25 02:01:18 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

Those will gain more weight after a few more decades.

2019-09-25 02:02:08 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

isolating genetics is great, but there's still so many other factors :/

2019-09-25 02:03:33 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

one of the strongest factors is nutrition, which is directly linked to wealth.
IQ measures a specific subset of intelligence as well, which means you also have to control what those people are gunning for in academics.

2019-09-25 02:04:52 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

tomorrow night i'll be at a scorpions show. Otherwise sure.

2019-09-25 02:05:16 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

XD rest well

2019-09-25 02:06:57 UTC [Athens #palaestra_debates]  

kinda, yeah, but there are better ways to frame that.
As long as people get to do their thing in peace none of that matters beyond academic interest.

2019-12-21 22:42:21 UTC [Athens #other_politics]  

bitchute really doesn't work well in brazil >.>

2019-12-21 22:42:38 UTC [Athens #other_politics]  

fucking video keeps freezing every 5 minutes and doesn't work again till a refresh

2019-12-21 22:43:11 UTC [Athens #other_politics]  

it's not a vpn problem

2019-12-21 22:43:21 UTC [Athens #other_politics]  

it's just how they optimize their connection.

2019-12-21 22:43:45 UTC [Athens #other_politics]  

sargon did.

Please tell me they are accounting for little kids, accidents, disease and enemas.

@veehro happy birthday you crazy bastard :D
