I hope you were laughing as you wrote this, because l certainly did as l read it.
Most of these threads devolve into na-na, na-na boo boo in under 10 posts.
The cold winters of Eurasia presented novel adaptive problems for our ancestors to solve, such as obtaining food by hunting large animals and keeping warm by building cloth- ing, shelter and fire, and they functioned as strong selection pressures for higher intelligence. Empirical analyses support both Lynn’s cold winters theory and my evolutionary novelty theory of the evolution of general intelligence. Mean annual temperature and the degree of evolutionary novelty in the environ- ment independently predict the average intelligence of the population. Both theories can also account for the observed race difference in intelligence. [/quote]
Why would I be laughing? Have you been reading the content @ActivitiesGuy, @EyeDentist, @anon71262119, @Aragorn, @anon50325502, and others have been providing in response to the non-science barfed up on this thread? At this point, they should submit an invoice for tuition to @therajraj, and his dad should pay it (like he does with his other bills).
If addressed that, and my personal experience informs my view on it.
But you didn’t answer my question - the burden still lies with you to prove your basic claim, so are you going attempt to satisfy it? If not, say so, and that will save everyone a lot of time and effort.
That movement was really rolling by the 1850s. By that point…they were 4-6 generations removed from their African roots. They don’t know anything of the land their ancestors were plucked from. Why would they want to go back?
I applaud Marcus Garvey for pushing that sort of self-determinism. Great concept…difficult to execute.
You mean feeling bad for treating anyone that wasn’t White (and even Irish and Jewish folks up until a point) as second class citizens? What a terrible thing to feel bad about.
I imagine dehumanizing other humans enough to hang them from trees and treat it as a family gathering is a totally normal process.
Why yes something like that. NW Europeans comes from something called “guilt cultures.”
Now take a look around the world at how other groups treat minorities in their country or how they view past conquests of other groups. Not only do they not give two fucks, but they also often celebrate them.
Check out how Asians are currently treating Africans in West Papua.
One cannot “repatriate” to a country that is not one’s country of origin. (Like @anon50325502 said–they’re Americans.) That you would even use this term speaks volumes about you.
Ah. That explains all those Inuit (Eskimo) Nobel Prize winners. Also this:
I am at a cafe. I laughed so hard I just spit coffee all over my counter space. Besides the waste of good coffee, the waitress is looking at me like I am a barbarian.
Yep your Cold Climate Theory sounds legit. It fits your narrative so you roll with it. I didn’t realize living in deserts or jungles involved such little intelligence.
All of these authors are proponents of “race realism”, the belief that differences between ethnic groups in intelligence and other factors have a genetic and evolutionary basis. This is like citing the opinions of a group of one’s friends as representing accepted mainstream thinking. In spite of Lynn’s claims, the cold winters theory is a speculative one that seems to be based mainly on cherry-picking of evidence to support race realist ideas and ignoring everything else that does not fit the theory.
