But I don't understand how this creates "spiteful mutants". That sounds outright "reefer madness" to me.

Oh that’s what we’re going to get hung up on

The west solved hunger for the most part, therefore IQ rose to unprecedented levels

@ETBrooD IQ may rise but IQ beneficial genes become less prominent.

"Mutants" pass their characteristics through group selection more than breeding

Malnutrition is the only environmental factor that can seriously change IQ

omg

IQ rise is hollow for g

IQ rise due to Flynn Effect that is

Which makes our studies a lot more difficult

Full belly = less malnutrition = more healthy = higher IQ = promotion of good genes

It isn't race, its skin colour
~~completely different, I know~~

It rises temporarily with national wealth and socialist policies. The dumb outbreed the rich, and when the welfare system collapses eventually, you have genetically low IQ populace, and you've lost the wealth that boosted IQ temporarily via food nutrients.

This is long-term going to wreak havoc.

If we encourage the poor to outbreed the rich.

The gains by Flynn Effect on IQ are mostly on the less heritable sub tests

Holy fuck

Are you preaching to the choir or something

No one said IQ isn't largely heritable

My argument is a 100 years ago people were a lot dumber than now

And it's not because of genetics

It's because of bad health

Malnutrition mostly

Are you preaching to the choir?

Yeah, they were. But I don't think IQ will continue to rise any further here in the west.

\> says low iq is based on malnutrition

No I'm not, because above the argument was (not from you) that people were smarter in 1914

Which is the opposite of the truth

low IQ is mostly about genes, but it's also about nutrition

And a few other things

The impact of nutrition is pretty huge

Also, better nutrition causes better genes

So we should keep Kim in charge otherwise the hyperintelligent north koreans will take over the world in by subversive means?

Perhaps <:Veemote:501103628883591188>

A better way to formulate Snake's argument would be that Mutational Load played a negative part in driving IQ scores, which might've been offset by the gains due to Flynn Effect

@ETBrooD They probably had genes that supported high IQ better in 1914, even if our superior nutrition makes us have superior IQ.

No, the genes didn't change at all

Imagine losing what we gained since 1914.
