"We found something similar across 1.1 million people"

no shit, try comparing how many people have eyeballs

2018-07-23 17:15:07 UTC  

It's like Aussie all over again

2018-07-23 17:17:28 UTC  

"Here we conducted a large-scale genetic association analysis of educational attainment in a sample of approximately 1.1 million individuals and identify 1,271 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs. For the SNPs taken together, we found evidence of heterogeneous effects across environments. The SNPs implicate genes involved in brain-development processes and neuron-to-neuron communication. In a separate analysis of the X chromosome, we identify 10 independent genome-wide-significant SNPs and estimate a SNP heritability of around 0.3% in both men and women, consistent with partial dosage compensation. A joint (multi-phenotype) analysis of educational attainment and three related cognitive phenotypes generates polygenic scores that explain 11–13% of the variance in educational attainment and 7–10% of the variance in cognitive performance. This prediction accuracy substantially increases the utility of polygenic scores as tools in research."

theres the abstract

2018-07-23 17:17:47 UTC  

gotta but or rent the study to see it to see it rip

2018-07-23 17:18:40 UTC  

ALSO SNP refers to single nucleotide polymorphisms

2018-07-23 17:19:21 UTC  

nucleotides are the monomers that form DNA

2018-07-23 17:20:15 UTC  

so basically they found a "smart" gene?

2018-07-23 17:21:37 UTC  

well

2018-07-23 17:21:46 UTC  

basicly from what ive gotten for the last 10 mins of reading

2018-07-23 17:22:34 UTC  

is that theyve found that there is a heritablitiy to the fact that enviroment affects educational attainment

2018-07-23 17:22:47 UTC  

in a n epigenetic sense

2018-07-23 17:22:58 UTC  

so they proved the Flynn Effect

2018-07-23 17:22:59 UTC  

if ur parents had a good environment for developing

2018-07-23 17:23:12 UTC  

not only does that raise your education attainment scores

2018-07-23 17:23:21 UTC  

but also if u grew up in a good environment

2018-07-23 17:23:32 UTC  

it gets better

2018-07-23 17:29:31 UTC  

so basically, if you have healthy educated parents, you are likely to grow up smart.

2018-07-23 17:31:38 UTC  

>the Flynn Effect

2018-07-23 23:27:49 UTC  

The Toronto shooter's identification is released: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-44933175 I'm not surprised.

2018-07-23 23:28:33 UTC  

LOL yeah

2018-07-23 23:29:10 UTC  

i mean his parents have said they're essentially horriied by their son

2018-07-23 23:29:23 UTC  

lol it looked almost as if he had coem out as gay

2018-07-23 23:29:36 UTC  

the statement they issued

2018-07-23 23:29:58 UTC  

very typical of followers of ((redacted)) with their mentality to apostates and sinners

2018-07-23 23:31:50 UTC  

I'd still like to wait for motive. It says he had a history of mental illness

2018-07-23 23:32:15 UTC  

yeah absolutely

2018-07-23 23:32:16 UTC  

If only some people on the street had some sort of weapon they could have protected themselves with

2018-07-23 23:32:34 UTC  

but yyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyeah as if the CBC will publicise the motive

2018-07-23 23:32:35 UTC  

i mean

2018-07-23 23:32:49 UTC  

in teh sense of if it had to do with religion

2018-07-23 23:32:52 UTC  

Alt-media will

2018-07-23 23:33:10 UTC  

you can easliy brush that off as a part of the psycosis without mentioning ((redacted))

2018-07-23 23:34:37 UTC  

People who take out terrorist attacks in the name of religion definitely have some sort of mental illness

2018-07-23 23:35:16 UTC  

yeah arguably

2018-07-23 23:35:31 UTC  

i mean depending on the logic u can say all those westerners deserved to die

2018-07-23 23:45:20 UTC  

So if he was mentally troubled, then where and how did he obtain the firearm that he used? I am waiting to hear that

2018-07-23 23:53:00 UTC  

yyeeeah most likely illegally #banallguns

2018-07-23 23:59:02 UTC  

That's a good question. It's a good thing Trudeau wants tighter gun legislation so that even less people can protect themselves from the crazies with illegal guns

2018-07-23 23:59:21 UTC  

It's almost as if criminals won't obey those gun laws or something
