The original paper and this post basically seem to agree on one point: in a scientific sense, the term heritability is hopelessly overloaded and as a result having a coherent discussion about the genetic and environment influences on phenot

Too many people are wrapped around the ego axle thinking (assuming) their ideas are both them and somehow unique and special. It usually takes dissolving that, often through difficult experiences, before they can see it as a machine, someth

That was a joke, because the idea that your conclusion spitballed by an amateur in an hour is more valid than one published by the WHO is a joke.

Right so this is where you can write to the WHO I guess and demand answers, or go search on google scholar and find out.

I am replying a second time to try to make things coherent with all the edits you are doing. Your data source does not seem to break out teenagers over 15. It does focus on children under five. It has some data just on children, which seems

I take your meaning but I don't agree it is only a value judgement. It is also an evolutionary and social force.

Your source is focused on children under five. If you data source includes children under 10, none of them will be capable of becoming pregnant. If it includes boys, none of them will be capable of becoming pregnant. The data don't sup

I’m trying to understand the distinction you are making. Pure altruism exists in animal communities. It is evolutionary. Are you contrasting belief systems with karma with Christianity?

Complication from pregnancy is the leading cause of death in 15-19 year old girls, and second in 10-14, only because many of them are not yet able to conceive. We have excellent data on this. Later marriage/first pregnancy is clearly a

Childhood pregnancy is the leading cause of death in teenage girls. We can say the factory is better.

This is not a one-off study. There is a long record of similar studies showing that the number of years of education a girl receives delays marriage, and while longer schooling delays marriage longer, it is not just because girls are busy.

My argument seemed pretty clear to me. Altruism, which is generally defined as helping others without expectation of benefit, is not at all specific to Christianity, despite that being your impression. I would be happy to discuss the topic

I understand, and as I said I would take the money for the cause, but I still don’t agree. This kind of passive acceptance of shallow behavior is disappointing to me. We should expect more from humanity.

It isn’t an insult to say you’re speaking about something you’re clearly not educated in when you clearly aren’t educated in it. A lot of people might take offense I guess, but an insult would be directed at you personally, not something yo

Your argument is that since it is common in a bubble to make circular deals, there is no conspiracy. But you seem to suggest that people committing tens of billions of dollars aren’t looking any further down the pipeline than the name on th

This is just a no-true-Scotsman defense of reasoning. We were talking about inferring intent. If someone recorded the inner monologue of human decision-making, would it look like a logician’s workbook? No, I don’t think it would. People lik

Altruism predates humans, but we are the best at it, and this behavior long predates Christianity. That you associate altruism distinctly with Christianity just discloses massive gaps in your experience and/or education.

Who cares whether the people who control the majority of the planet’s capital actually care about other people or just the preservation of their image? I do. I will accept the donation either way, but in terms of so much else, I fucking do.
