That is not even close to anything that resembles rational thought.
You didn’t even use your own. You just further mangled someone else’s already mangled thought.

Really, this whole topic is unsolvable. The nature vs. nurture arguments have been going on for centuries without closure and that’s what this is. There is no way to say a demographic will perform differently on a particular test based purely on their nature because there is no scenario where all else can possibly be equal.
These tests and measures are not predictive, they are representative the way things are today, nakedly. And if the tables were turned, historically, economically, educationally, etc. there is still no way to know if one group will perform better than another purely based on what one was born as.
There are literally millions of variables that go in to making what a person is. If one has truly solved this Rubic’s Cube, they deserve a Nobel Prize the size of Texas.

Basically, we’re all stupid for engaging Raj, IQ problem solved.

Why?
Scientists stretching back centuries agreed races weren’t the same in abilities. Even the resident scientist won’t dismiss the notion that differences in intelligence between races is highly genetic.
If you ever leave America you’ll quickly realize this information is completely openly accepted in Asian countries like Japan. For instance Japan’s population is in free fall but they haven’t opened their countries to 3rd world immigrants because they know it will not keep Japan alive.
Most of the people in this thread are psychologically entrapped in white guilt to some extent. They’ll happily applaud some idiot pushing racist reparations while ignoring information presented on race.
ED was the only one in this thread (that I saw) advocating reparations. Everyone I saw that commented on it didn’t agree with him.
Did those scientists define race? Because you sure can’t 
(inb4 useless dog analogy).

A bunch of idiots liked a post that applauded ED and said we need more of him
Liking a post (I genuinely don’t remember it?) is not akin to agreement. I’ve liked plenty of posts that I didn’t agree with, but were well thought out and stimulated thought in myself.
Edit: nvm I see you were just misquoting TB again.

“I dislike racists”
"I thoroughly enjoyed the discussion over your suggestion about implementing a highly racist policy "
Jesus, you really are retarded.

You can enjoy a discussion because of the quality of it without agreeing with the other side. Pretty simple concept.

So you think that we’re a bunch of idiots for appreciating a challenge (and a damn good challenger at that) but the process of challenging thought has been around and very well respected for centuries.
Very interesting.

You did see in the exact image you clipped where I said I didn’t see eye to eye with ED on reparations?
That you would mendaciously misrepresent what I said - especially in plain view of your own quoting that shows you to be fibbing - puts you in a special class of fiend here in PWI.
Not surprising, really - but what I said (and all those dummies that agreed with me believe) is that having smart, interesting people with smart, interesting points of view around here is a good thing, and @EyeDentist is precisely one of those people, whether we agree on a particular subject or not.
And you know that. Which is why you had to lie about what I said.

Why didn’t the renaissance and baroque periods occur in Africa as opposed to Italy and Louis XIV’s France? Everyone being equal and all. Just don’t get it.
Palace of Versailles and African architecture. Can anyone spot the difference?
Yeah. That French work is way over done. I mean seriously, how much shit can you fit in a five pound bag?

If you’re genuinely interested, the Thomas Sowell video I put up about Cultural Diversity: A World View (40 minutes) answers some of these questions about why we have advances in some groups of people. Throughout history, some of the groups on top have faded, and even flipped as they’ve been surpassed by other cultures.
Technical advances are the exception, not the rule. We all started out in poverty, and most of humanity continues to live in poverty. Poverty requires no explanation. The real question is not why are most people poor, it’s why did a few people in time innovate, or accumulate technical knowledge and affluence.

Haha!
Ah no. Wrong again. And there’s more than 1 scientist in this thread.
