How stimulating an environment is wouldn't select for different levels of intelligence.
Stimulation might impact whether the full level of development that is possible for a person is realized, but...

No one has made that claim. That is a strawman based upon your laughably wrong assumption that every single selection pressure that might possibly exist and might possibly have an effect an any...

Despite being more similar to each other in skin tone and most these other "racial characteristics" than they are to northern Europeans, black Africans are less genetically similar to each other than...

Possible? Sure. But it's a pretty bold claim that has been made repeatedly throughout history, always self serving and without actual evidence.[/QUOTE]
Nope. that's not bold claim at all. The bold...

No, we never started with anyone implying that genes are irrelevant or that people are born the same. We started with your scientifically illiterate claims that evolution makes it "IMPLAUSIBLE" that...

But if the differences in IQ that exist are tied to skin color, which is only partially and not reliably tied to genetic clustering of human subgroups, then the differences in IQ between people...

No, it is the scientific reality. What is "quite a claim" with zero scientific support is that the differences in group level averages are the result of genetics. All research linking intelligence to...

Is this what you would say to the family of the victims?[/QUOTE]

What one would say to a grieving loved one has zero relevance to what is factual, rational, or should be part of any reasoned...

But nothing indicates that there are differences between populations.[/QUOTE]

Except when you need an organ or bone marrow transplant. Or look at PISA scores.[/QUOTE]

Racists have been trying to prove it for some time but haven't found anything that actually shows it. Everything we see is cultural or medical (nutrition, disease), not genetic.[/QUOTE]

This is where the discussion gets blocked. We fully accept this for all other life but humans. Instead, we take a page from the Intelligent Design lobby and view humans as special; that evolution...

Yup. I have the same experience, and I'm pretty much the poster child for a millennial that has consumed way too much pornography from an early age. I've never had any desire to choke or hit someone...

If one even accepts that there are different races of humans.[/QUOTE]

Sure, let's not get derailed by semantics. Just replace the word "race" with something referring to geographically distinct...

You know you're dealing with a strawman when you see someone writing about what someone else thinks.



Who says that?[/QUOTE]

He aptly summarized the actual implication of your argument.

This is somewhat related to my reply to barbos above.

It is critical to keep in mind that the evidence of genetic influence is solely for explaining within group or individual level variability in...

It's IMPLAUSIBLE that there are no intellectual differences between genetically distinct groups of people which are separated by tens of thousands of years of evolution. [/quote]

Exercising is not simply about losing weight. I've seen that ad multiple times and it never occurred to me that losing weight was her or her husband's goal. Exercise can just be about feeling good,...

Actual scientists are 6 times more likely to be Democrats than Republicans, and 6 times more likely to label themselves as "liberal" than "conservatives. ...

I note that most believers don't give two shits about proving that God exists, especially outside of the context of being obliged to take a introductory philosophy class in college where it is always...

By definition, anyone justifying their complaint about inclusion of any instances of bigotry against whites b/c those instances are not as severe is defining severity based on race of the victim,...

There's no reason to suppose that "funny" must also mean "non-offensive".[/quote]

Finding something offensive means to actually experience emotional offense which is anti-thetical to the positive...

No he isn't. He isn't advocating for speech to be criminalized by the government and therefore is in no way against free speech. In fact, he is pro-liberty. He wants social media companies to use...

Hate speech is free speech.

If you are against hate speech you are against free speech.[/QUOTE]
