Yeah, and, What I'm asking is, why wouldn't Africans, let's say, from a particular country, have a genetic intelligence advantage hidden by these factors. After all, Western society has been quite dysgenic lately. But somehow I get the sense what your wording has revealed is that you have some expectation that will make you comfortable, like equality or it being relatively close, and then you've gone on to seek out explanations that satisfy you, and then stopped. It sounds like a bunch of feel good story-telling.
- partycoder 9y agoYou failed to refute the point by trying to start a frivolous discussion about the statistics, so now we are moving to ad-hominem. Well done. Let's do it. rubs hands What I have to say about is: that's just your opinion. The opinion of someone with a very vague, indirect, uncommitted language. Just say what you really mean, and why. I have an idea of what it might be, but it would better if you said it: - Elaborate a bit more on how Western society has been "dysgenic". Are you trying to push for eugenics here on HN? - Elaborate a bit more on what do you mean by "lately".
- SamReidHughes 9y agoWestern society is dysgenic because career women put off having children and have fewer of them. Lately.
- partycoder 9y agoBut fewer children does not necessarily mean fewer genetic diversity as population is now higher. So where is the "accumulation of disadvantageous genetic traits" (definition of dysgenics) here? I am sure that's not what you really meant. Try again.
- SamReidHughes 9y agoWhat. Stupid people outbreeding smart ones. That's where.
