It comes down to a very basic question regarding whether or not their should be limits in man's quest for knowledge. It is a question of biblical proportions.

Truth may not always sync with our sense of what is or is not ideal..

look you fucking troglodyte, actual scientists don't have a working, agreed-upon definition of what intelligence even is, much less how it varies across populations. what i can tell you for certain is that intelligence is not a fucking iq score, which is about as reliable and accurate as goddamned phrenology -- and used to further the same bankrupt philosophy too.

another thing i can tell you for certain is that whatever intelligence is, it's doubtless an incredibly complex phenomena that expresses itself in a broad variety of ways and is determined by a huge interplay of genetic, environmental, and cultural factors. there is no "intelligence" gene, in the same way there isn't any "taste in movies" gene or "favorite mountain" gene or "likelihood of sporting a porn mustache" gene. saying as much is at best a ridiculous oversimplification and at worst complete fucking nonsense.

the final thing to point out is that race itself is a complete fiction. there is more genetic diversity amongst the different peoples of africa than there are between any two groups of humans outside africa. yet our definition of "black people" encompasses not only all these impossibly divergent populations in africa, but totally unconnected populations of people in australia, new zealand, melanesia, the carribbean, and other places (not to mention the populations who have lived in Europe and America for tens of generations), all of them removed from africa as much by genetics as they are by time and space.

the same goes for our coneption of "asian" (which in popular usage suggests far-east asians, instead of say, indians, iraqis, or most russians). this ill-defined group includes the japanese, chinese, korean, and tawainese amongst others, as well as phillipinos, hawaiians, and other polynesians, depending on who you ask.

besides flagging someone as non-european (and even then not reliably) the fact remains that our conception of race is completely useless in describing large populations of humans. at best it's a way of differentiating the various shades of skin color humans come in, but then you get idiots arguing over what constitutes a TRUE "black" or "white" or "asian" person, as if race exists outside of whatever arbitrary boundaries we set for it.

and then of course come idiots like you, who believe skin color is in some way indelibly tied to intelligence, a proposition as laughably simplistic and fucking wrong as saying that intelligence is tied to height, eye color, or stomach capacity. there is not only no reason to believe the two are connected, but merely suggesting as much shows you as a complete fucking dullard with no conception of the actual science behind human genetics. you should feel deep shame in even asking this fucking question, not just because it's plainly motivated by a latent racism that you've proudly displayed dozens of times in the past, but also because it's goddamned stupid even outside of that. you fucking simpleton.

Now Sultan, please tell us how you really feel...



Anyway, the post was a far bit more degrading than I would write and I would argue it hurts your position by making it even harder for opposed people to accept your views given that now to do so they would have to imply that they themselves are "goddamned stupid" (whether or not the label is deserved is another issue entirely).

Point is though, take out the insults and you have one fine goddamn post.

People with high IQs can be absolute jerks, lazy, and lack morals. People with low IQs can be outstanding citizens and contributors to society. That is what I consider "worth", even in human terms, not pure abstract IQ ratings.

Absolutely I think that all humans have the same "value" or "worth". That's different from thinking that all people have the same abilities and are able to contribute to society in the same way. There is a difference between judging a single person based on race (racism) and judging an entire race based on race (as long as it is backed up by facts).

PLAYER57832 wrote:All people vary. In many given tested populations, whites outstrip blacks, in numbers by a good measure. The conditions under which whites, blacks and Asians all exist differ (blacks are far more likely to be poor and uneducated in the US, for example). Those factors are KNOWN to influence IQ. They influence the higher IQ ranges, in particular at least as much and, in many cases, far more than genetics. The whole issue of lead exposure in children, for example, is still not fully understood. (we know its bad, but keep finding out its even worse than thought before) The effects of diet and excercise are also huge. Education and the perception a child is given of their ability to succeed influence IQ. A child may be tested with a high IQ at age 4, but if constantly told they are dumb, may well wind up significantly below average by high school. (in fact, in regards to blacks that last is very, very huge -- too many kids are plain and simply "taught" that they "cannot" learn, so of course they don't!)

Even if you take all of those factors into account, IQ is pretty much meaningless. It really and truly only measures a particular kind of narrow thinking. It has little or nothing to do with ability to succeed, create or contribute in measurable ways to society.

I can't believe I finally found something I agree with you on! I guess it was just a matter of time.

Ta!

So we shouldn't elect a black person, because it will create racial tension?

nope, my point was simply they all had it wrong,and this post of course only applies to obama voters WHO THOUGHT electing a half white president would end racial tension, and I'm calling that completely naive. And as for your question that doesnt really relate, racial tension is childs play in America, I think we can handle it either way and have been making TREMENDOUS leaps and bounds into improving racial relations.

I'm not a racist and you don't even know what race I am.

I believe that most people never reach their potential in any given discipline. Most people would be excellent at most disciplines if they were to approach their potential in any one.

While the extent of a person's potential may be influenced by genetics and genetics follow the lines of race, there are individuals whose potential exceeds that of most people of their race.

Where my opinion differs from the Politically Correct perspective, is that I do not believe that all groups have the same general attributes as one another. This does not mean that one race is better at all things than another, but rather that most individuals of a given race may be more inclined to a particular discipline than most members of another. While a group may generally have lower potential than another in a given thing, they may be better at something else.
This is not completely relevant because individuals can defy the trends of their race and by the fact that bi-racial people exist.

Racial trends exist and there is a science devoted to the study of them:
Anthropology
More specifically Biological Anthropology

Anyhow, I will continue.

The siole reason for the domination, advanced thinking, hard working in built mentality of the north european peoples, was due to the hardships that were faced during their expansion into the north of europe.#

It is laughable that you have this idea that the cold, biting tundra of northern europe somehow had "more animals to domesticate"...as opposed to the warmer climates of africa, for instance.

What you fail to comprehend, is that there were no native crops in northern europe....corn ( wheat) was originally an unpalatable crop from the asian peninsula...this had been nurtured by the northern europeans into being an edible crop, to which we built a tolerance for, as with cows milk, too.

See, the reason why the white race has a higher level of industrious thought, is that the long baron winters, and lack of native wildlife readily available, caused said peoples to have to develop a strong sense of community, and also overcome far greater challenges, than, say africans, who had walking meals on their doorsteps, for whenever they could be assed to throw a spear.

This is one of the reasons why there is wide-famine issues within africa, as they just ate, and ate without any foresight for future production. They have not got the in-built tools to cope with forward thinking, or overcoming challenges...It's pretty simple.. white people had challenges = bigger brains.

"Give a black man a fish,. he eats for a day...give him a fishing rod, he tries to attack someone with it, and steal their fish"
