Europe spend hundreds of years executing anyone who had any tendency towards violence or breaking the social norms, but that has nothing to do with why whites are generally less violent!
I'ts just *environment*
I have a theory to pitch to you. I believe that one of the reasons that Jewish people and Asians, particularly japanese people succeed more often due to literature being a more prominent thing in their lives. Jews literally learn a second language just to come of "age" which must be beneficial developmentally
Your theory doesn't matter because G already explains it
once again
Twin studies already disprove what you're saying
yes IQ is just one factor, and work ethic and other things are involved
you don't think these things being tradition through generations is beneficial?
but without high enough IQ and correlate G then you're not even getting off the ground
I think you don't understand how what you're saying is just more arugments for it being genetic
even if you say this has been their cultural norm for generations, then to succeed in their community you needed a certain IQ, if not you failed to come of age
therefore you fail to reproduce and have a family
therefore it selects for people who are predisposed towards higher IQ
either way your "thought experiment" doesn't disprove that it's not genetic
if anything it just adds another social factor that selects for intelligence
I'll concede that there is a genetic disposition in that regard but I think tradition and values reinforce it. If you put someone who was born with those "genetic values" they would corrupt completely
"genetic values" 🤤
whoops, if you put someone who was born with those "genetic values" somewhere bad, they would corrupt completely
It doesn't matter what you try to call it, it's very well substantiated that your IQ will be close to your parents.
What you're saying is just not true
Them being in a shitty society assuming they're not eating lead
will not make them have a lower G
environmental factors can influence gene expression
that's just not how it works
there's plenty of smart criminals. They have a capacity for violence and they have a high IQ
A lot of the epigenetics stuff is bullshit
but in anycase
thats generally the part that ppl talk about when they say its a mix of nurture/nature
ofc it's both
but to pretend like genetics has no part is stupid
No one would bat an eye that you can't increase some Downy's IQ
strawman bro, no one here has said that
we all know genes play a role
yet somehow people wanna argue with it
just because they dont think 100%, doesnt mean they think 0%
Nobody thinks 100%
But across populations if you act like this isn't factually true you're just being dishonest.
act like what isnt factually true?
