Sad

You

Sad

Wow this discord's roles are super fucking cringey holy fuck

You know what is sad, living in the 3rd world country that is the UK

How does it feel to be in the laughing stock of the West

>Not identifying with your nationality

Ok, here is an idea

Imagine the thought that what a nation-state is

Is larger than the government

Their are values and principles embodied in a nation's history

Give an example?

What values does Russia hold that you disagree with

Those aren't values, those are economic and political systems

I'll give an example

In France you have Equality Liberty, Fraternity

In the US you have Individual Exceptionalism, Freedom, and Law

In the UK

Pride, and Honor

Germany you have Efficiency and Hard work

There are values that are embodied by nations

To shrug off your countrymen, is atleast in my view, no different than to shrug off your family

You do everything in your power to change that

You say that, but they have persevered for hundreds of years

Perhaps that is evidence of a genetic link to culture

Well we are speaking right now, about a culture of hundreds of years being wiped away

And what is the variable

The destruction of the ethnic homogeneity of Europe is atleast something worth considering, we see what happened in Yugoslavia

Whether that is

As a result of the refusal to integrate within ethnic communities

Or actual genetics

Both are interesting

Why do you think ethnicity means nothing?

Out of curiosity

Considering intelligence is linked to genetics, why would it be hard to believe that some other social and psychological traits might be the same way

Which might evolve over time into distinct cultures

Is that a giant leap

I think you are assuming correlation is causation here

Maybe the environment in more agriculturally suitable areas creates a climate where natural selection picks more intelligent people

Where are areas with this less so, like sub-Saharan Africa, physical capabilities are more important for reproductive success

That is fair

Ok, so why do certain ethnic groups living in the West still have lower average IQs than other groups

If it is inbreeding then it is genetic kek

IQ is changed very little by the level of education

Here is a question, do you think someone like Einstein was genetically predisposed to being highly intelligent, or was it environmental factors

How much of his intelligence would be due to his genetics, and how much to his environment

But can we at the very least acknowledge that intelligence is highly effected by genetic factors

Not 100%

and not 0%

But it has a noticeable impact

To wrap back around to where we began

If we accept that

Is it really a stretch to say that there are other psychological traits that may be affected by genetics

So why do personality disorders have a higher risk of being hereditarily passed on

Psychopathy is specifically tied to genetics

Psychopathy is a psychological trait

Bam

So psychological traits can be genetically inherited

Why would it be that only disorders are inheritable

You realize there is a whole field of study called evolutionary psychology right

But whatever just ignore that

So animals dont inherit things like instincts genetically

In order to make my point we need to come to an agreement on this

That there is a tie

Between someone's social and psychological traits

And genetics

I mean, I could just

Post a bunch of studies and be an autist

Well what is culture

Kek

Thats not how you debate my dude

You need to set up all your arguments

I don't think you know much about the art of rhetoric

Sad

We arent going in circles

I'll explain what I view as culture

Culture is a series of values

Hard work

I dont understand how you arent following along

I'm not writing paragraphs here

I'm saying that in a debate, there is an art to making an argument

How am I bullshitting

I started this discussion with my opinion

You can scroll back up and find it

That it is atleast a possibility that culture is somewhat determined by genetics

This is really autistic

I dont understand what you are asking

Are you trying to catch me in a gotcha or something?

Sad

He can pardon himself from everything except impeachment
