Genetics is on a very long time scale

2018-12-14 03:33:27 UTC  

Well yes and no

2018-12-14 03:33:33 UTC  

?

2018-12-14 03:33:35 UTC  

microevolution is a thing

2018-12-14 03:33:37 UTC  

Decades at minimum

2018-12-14 03:33:39 UTC  

it is?

Yes, we can actually see it in action with elephants

2018-12-14 03:33:52 UTC  

@Innaswamp they’re also taller and such

2018-12-14 03:34:00 UTC  

Elephants have evolved to stop growing tusks

2018-12-14 03:34:03 UTC  

Better legs than YT too

In the span of maybe a few centuries

2018-12-14 03:34:27 UTC  

Like spics are good at baseball from playing so much

2018-12-14 03:34:29 UTC  

If you want a summary of The Bell Curve in video form, this interview sums it up pretty well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y1lEPQYQk8s

2018-12-14 03:34:36 UTC  

A major physiological change as a response to environmental pressures on a, genetically speaking, incredibly small timescale

2018-12-14 03:34:44 UTC  

Yes. A few centuries. That’s the time scale of genetics.

>posting murray unironically

2018-12-14 03:34:54 UTC  

Disprove it

2018-12-14 03:35:13 UTC  

tbf I think ivory poaching really only started in the 1800's

2018-12-14 03:35:15 UTC  

There is no refutation of The Bell Curve that is intellectually honest

2018-12-14 03:35:25 UTC  

Ivory poaching is kind of new

2018-12-14 03:35:44 UTC  

And it got REALLY bad in the 1900's, before reaching a peak in the early 2000's

2018-12-14 03:35:59 UTC  

Now elephants are being born without tusks as a survival mechanism

2018-12-14 03:36:11 UTC  

The chinese still buy it in droves

2018-12-14 03:36:24 UTC  

But pretty much everyone has outlawed ivory sales

2018-12-14 03:36:39 UTC  

China is a giant market

2018-12-14 03:36:42 UTC  

TFW you’ll never outlaw chinks

2018-12-14 03:36:52 UTC  

Still, the question is, based on things like genetic predisposition and environmental pressures, by all accounts it should be a triangle.

2018-12-14 03:36:54 UTC  

@Benis btw everyone is now ignoring you, FYI

2018-12-14 03:36:55 UTC  

Most of the market is asian

2018-12-14 03:37:02 UTC  

Pretty much yeah

2018-12-14 03:37:08 UTC  

you’ve proven to be not worth listening to

2018-12-14 03:37:13 UTC  

How?

2018-12-14 03:37:29 UTC  

tbf the people doing all the major environmental damage are either asians or people catering to asian markets.

2018-12-14 03:37:29 UTC  

If rofl and runes agree on something that speaks loudly

2018-12-14 03:37:35 UTC  

right?

2018-12-14 03:37:42 UTC  

I could agree with that

2018-12-14 03:37:50 UTC  

Americans kicked the ivory fetish

2018-12-14 03:38:02 UTC  

Western nations have kicked a LOT of bad shit
