aaaaaaaand the bitch is gone
well, he did give us all a chance to try to hone our debating skills.
It's race denialism bullshit. Among other things, it relies on the conception that cognitive effects of evolution must have happened before migration rather than after, for which there is no evidence at all other than some supposition made by the author. Furthermore, it denies the differences existing between groups of people that find themselves in different conditions (i.e. perhaps cooperation is good in a winter if you live on average 1 km away from anyone, but not at the equator if you live with 40 people around you all the time who may have increased violent tendencies). It then commits the error of thinking that genetic diversity as measured on a per-letter-of-DNA basis is a good quantification to affirm or deny the presence of distinct evolutionary pressures applying to different groups. It doesn't. We could have less variation than chimpanzees in number of letters, yet stronger natural selection pressures could be at play in shaping the different frequencies between groups. Finally, it strawmans the race realist position by stating that races are "genetically homogeneous groups," which is not the position and which should always raise a red flag in the reader, since setting such an impossible standard is clearly evidence that the author wanted to reach the conclusion that races don't exist.
everything was strawmen and projection
imagine reading all that shit

this was the biggest takeaway from me
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4888873/ @JFGariepy we've been discussing with that guy whether or not this study means that we have to throw out twin studies as a basis for high heritability of intelligence
jf is fooking based
i have to donate
"do you have the genes"
"yes *posts the genes*"
"do you have all the knowledge about how these genes work"
nope
LOL

weebs OUT 😡
then I explain it's frequency of those genes, which are correlated to higher intelligence when they occur
silence after that
just not smart to post a webm or meme with enwurd in the name when the bossman is around
can Cenk say it
just kept doing this without changing views
OF COURSE
cenk is a vile bigot and should be sent to reeducation camp for life
explained how genetic bottlenecks and isolation proves that groups "must" be different in intelligence
silence after that
just repeat of this
Lol the Gorka stream is hilarious
you already know this is a dishonest person
there's now a woman who claims she was emotionally triggered by Nick
are you a nicker now
