pretty much

But that's the beauty in it:

I am all for MERITOCRACY.

@Undead Mockingbird I agree with that

As a baseline. Have you lived in a non western culture for more than a few years?

@Undead Mockingbird You are relating environmental factors that develop over time and influence genetic makeup as some form of influencer on cultural attitudes. Those I would argue are very distinct from culture itself

most jews are VERY conservative when it's about Israel. But in the west they are very lefty. They are the ones that started with the identity politics. You can "blame" them for that

#NotAllJews

Let us say tomorrow some scientist told me that 99% of the people in my home town are retarded. If I was a collectivist, that would be terrible news, because that is all people might base their decisions about me on.

However, if I am an individualist, I do not have to worry how many people in my town are stupid. My IQ does not change.

Wow, many peoples dad were gassed for being Jewish

nice

Dont see how that isnt a reason to be upset

Hmm?

It's only a reason to be upset if I am a collectivist.

hahaha

Fucking autocorrect

If the society I live in is meritocratic, I just go and take an IQ test to show that I am not in the 99%.

@Undead Mockingbird no you have a reason to be upset.

I will be judged as an indvidual.

the majority of your family friends and coworkers are retarded

you have merit

Even if we found tomorrow that blacks had an IQ of 50, it doesn't change the IQ of Thomas Sowell.

So stop thinking like a collectivist. Stop being upset.

Mentally challenged please @DanteMenace

Lel

I was messing with @JohnOakman

You should watch what Thomas Sowell (or was it Larry Elder??) say about beeing in school.

it's a George Carlin joke @DanteMenace

Personally I am more open to the study of honor dignity and face culture as baseline models for understanding culture. Here race is irrelevant and environmental factors related to politics are the key motivator. None of that simplified collectivist vs individualist argumentation.

Both are leaining more towads the radical indoctrination with the material (not politics) in school. And treating them harshly.

Huh? Race can still be irrelevant.

@Cody This fight was won in the 30's and the 80's race based thinking has never lead to anything good and will never gain traction in the world again

You guys are not listening.

There is a reason why German culture has cheese and Africans hunt, but that doesn't mean that an African with an IQ of 100 does worse than a German with IQ of 100, if both are born in Germany.

Then why does it matter if blacks have less IQ than whites?

Actually, that was a seminal study precisely on that subject.

@Undead Mockingbird Race will become irrelevant for culture in a really short time. But until now, it was relevant
