You're really bad at history if you think that.

It really isn't ... 

It wasn't just some coincidence that east asians and caucasians ended up at the top hierarchy of intelligence and culture doesn't explain why IQs have high heritability ...

Where's your proof? I call bullshit on that.

And you think the racial and ethnical make up of the scientific community is a factor of those races and ethnicities and not, perhaps, the social construct that promotes said races and ethnicities over others?  Those very scientists would side with the latter rather than the former.

Those very scientists should probably stop being so romantic ... 

It's race that shapes culture and not the other way around, you simply don't get a choice in how you're hard wired ... 

Talal said:

Has much more to do with the living conditions and cultures rather than race. 

Like I said in my response to the previous poster above, it's race that shapes culture ... 

At this point we've confirmed you're either terribly ignorant or terribly racist, Race has never shaped culture for a start do you even know what causes different skin colour?

Culture is shaped by many generations of people from different areas crossing paths.

So, you're admitting that you're a white supremacist?

I care about FACTS! If that makes me a white supremacist or whatever then so be it ... 

People need to get used to the non-romantic parts of reality like how the constitution was originally founded on slavery (3/5th's compromise anyone ?) or how cheaters are the winners when passing down their genetics (selfish DNA anyone ?) so they stop being so weak minded ...

OK, then show me the facts. Give me proof.

most people don't have 1/8 the courage and brains Trump has. hes called out alot of evil things going on in the world

To be fair, that only applies to his voters. The majority of people in Europe are definitely not that stupid. Trump lacks functional literacy, which makes him stupider the vast majority of Europe.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

If he's not a liar then he should have no problem with releasing his tax returns (as every president of the last 30+ years has) 

Perhaps he isn't doing it because it tells the general population...absolutely nothing.

Everybody is crying for his tax returns, but will have no clue how to even remotely interpret anything in them. I'm an accountant, and I can guarantee you, the moment his returns are released, there will be tons of assumptions made, and people will come to conclusions that are completely false because they have 0 clue how taxes work.

Edit: A perfect instance is if he is indeed not paying any taxes currently, it is likely due to NOL carryovers, which can be utilized for 20 years. NOL carryforwards exist for a valid reason, yet the headlines and people will come out in waves saying "This needs to be prevented!".



Money can't buy happiness. Just video games, which make me happy.

The proof on what ? The high heritability of IQ ? It's right here in this research ... 

The proof about how east asians are on top ? That's easy, you can go look at many studies out there using google ...

Sadly for you I'm neither ... (at least that's what I think) 

Culture is ultimately shaped by race from the many years adapting to an isolated environment ... (You don't get to choose how to live out your life.)

Jewish people have the highest IQ followed by Asians ... whites are then what ... middle of the pack? 

In any case, traits are not exclusive to an entire race, it's like a black person saying "well Michael Jordan is good at basketball so I must be great at it" .... uh, not so fast buddy. Just because someone else is exceptional at something doesn't mean you individually are better at anything than anyone else. 

Genetic variance if it was so simple, you'd see things like brothers/sisters (can't get much more genetically closer than this) having equal intelligence, equal athletic ability, equal artistic ability but we know that they are huge variations among just siblings.

The link that you just showed me admits that it pretty much exclusively sampled Western industrialised countries. It is not a comparison of different races.

The part where culture is shaped by race is stretching it because correlation is not necessarily causation. Culture is shaped by environmental isolation whether it's geographical or intentional. Race is the incidental part.
