@Sean__Last Right, and while the handicapper general thing is fantastical, it could also apply to some sort of medical malady. Say some people have a genetic predisposition to a particular vitamin deficiency. But today they know this, so they take that vitamin and end up being less deficient
@Sean__Last than the general pop. The heritability of that vitamin deficiency would look weird because at a certain threshold the vitamin deficiency is so severe that people end up doing something about it, and so even if the h2 for that deficiency is say, 0.3, and this deficiency negatively

@Sean__Last All variance being down to environment =/= no causal genetic variation. All genetic variation could be cancelled out by accurate but imprecise environmental cancelling effects. "Handicapper general" scenario.
@Sean__Last For example, making stronger people wear body weights to move slower. These things are directed to eliminate any causal impact of genetic variance - but they are imprecise.
If your "genetic strength" is at the 70th percentile, you'll be given a handicap that lowers you to the...

@nonblankslate@thomaschattwill Okay, but that's a very silly way to look at it. If you're talking specifically about racial gaps, it could be "over 100%" genes.
For example, blacks could be earning more than they would in a completely fair and meritocratic society.
@nonblankslate@thomaschattwill That argument wouldn't "deny environment".
But sometimes environmental variables don't actually matter. For example, existing "school quality" variance doesn't really matter. Doesn't mean schools can't improve generally, just that existing variation doesn't matter.
However, since "conservative" is, by it's nature, varying degrees of "human default" and not a product of conditioning or "education", but of evolution, it is inherently less "culty". For example, being anti-gay or...
@SheepdogNo1@ConHome@CharlotteCGill ...anti-foreigner is not something anyone has to be taught to be. It is something "baseline" or "based".
Whether you think this is good or bad is like, your opinion mahn.
Meaning that "conservatives" are going to be inherently less "culty" and less "socialized".
But you're right in the sense that I couldn't do it now. Like, there's no way I could muster the commitment or interest for something like that now. The person I am now could not do that.
Also I wouldn't recommend football.
@PedroShlong With wrestling you learn some skills that you keep forever (like riding a bike). But more importantly, even if you forget specific moves, you develop an understanding of body positioning that's really hard to describe or convey the value of to someone who doesn't have it.

Imma tell a story about wrestling. Don't worry it's not really about wrestling. I lived in Nebraska. I wrestled from before high school, but wasn't amazing. Got to high school, and while I was better than other freshmen, I got the snot beat out of me by the jrs and srs.
I was probably the best non-starter but always trying to be a starter and losing the challenge. For tournaments where you can put multiple guys in the same weight class, I'd wrestle in varsity tournaments and have a bad time.
The culty people aren't being quarantined into harmless formal "cults". This is why I think "the left" is becoming so fucking insane.
I see it. There's a certain number of culty people (genetic tendency). This cultiness can be suppressed or elevated. When elevated, it can be directed or directs itself.
While this genetic tendency has been in decline as long as fertility rates have been measurable...

@CisHeteroScum Maybe. I've put together two reasons for it.
The one I believe is they're easier to control - at least in the short term. They're inherently more subservient to authority. Just look at polls on vaccine-trust in India and China. You can think one way or another on vaccines...
@CisHeteroScum I'm just saying on a population-level, vaccine-trust is an indicator of trust in institutions and authorities. And it also gives evidence to the idea that India and China were ossified for so long because their populations had WAAAY too much trust in authorities.

Okay, imagine there's some horrible global cabal that's trying to control everyone.
They realized they could control white people with blood libels or endless dredging up of supposed - supposed - past misdeeds.
This doesn't work on other people.
For Arabs, this global cabal can just buy off leaders, or outright invade.
For Africans, indebting them and financial BS is super-easy.
Difficult to control? Slavic whites and East Asians and Iranians. Different methods of control for different genetic clusters.
Also by "Turks" I mean the ones who stormed into anatolia. All they did was rob from other civilizations. Everything great about the ottomans came from Greeks and balkan elites. The leaders knew this.
@hasulhavass@JebBush@turkish_project Living off the residue of Greek-Byzantine greatness and some geographic advantages, Turks had nowhere to go because Turks couldn't develop - only take.
"Turkey" is a fake country, the fakest in human existence. It would be like if the Yuan dynasty just calling itself "Mongolia".

@murfholf@SteveSchmidtSES I don't know what you're going on about. You know that genes have variants and subvariants, and the genetic differences between the races are on those variant frequencies?
I don't think you understood the article and/or lack a very basic idea of what genetic variation is.
@murfholf@SteveSchmidtSES By that standard Neanderthals wouldn't be a subspecies. But I'm not sure what standard you're referring to. Do you mean having an additional or one less of a gene? That would be getting into the realm of being a completely different species.
@xsadxdad@Yomans2012@LibertyHangout You keep repeating that line about some law in Russia. Again, it's systemically unlikely that something like that, in the way you're framing it, would pass in Russia, given that dictators are more sensitive to public opinion than democracies.
@xsadxdad@Yomans2012@LibertyHangout Also, you have to keep in mind the anti-russia hysteria. Remember the whole Russia election hacking hoax? Remember the "hookers pissing on Trump" hoax?
Anti-Russian hysteria goes back to the fucking Crimean war.

It's weird reading about the conflicts between Russia and "the hordes" - Mongol, Turkic, whatever. The land pirate empire people.
It's strange just how "modern" it seems. How the horde peoples basically forced the Russian states into a primitive form of mass mobilization...
... far earlier than other states. Things like the great abatis line, the ostrogs, 360 degree battle and managing conflicts over something that somewhat resembled the mass "front line" you'd only start to see in the late 1870s in Europe.
Yes, I understand what some people generally say is "racism", and what you think is "racism". I grew up in the 90s, I don't have some lack of knowledge.
@TFOBananas@ses101@jiemiev@thejcoop Words are a series of phonems / letters. The only substantive meaning in a word is HOW ITS USED, not some formal definition either in a dictionary, in your head, or even some general social consensus on what the "formal definition" is.
Basically, races have allele frequencies that are similar and some that are different. This is why, even if someone is 100% ancestrally Scandanavian, they may register as 0.1% Vietnamese.
@TheNotoriousJOB@vinuemunizzioni That's because they happen to have some allele frequencies that are more common among Vietnamese than Norwegians.
Like, on most of the genome, Africans and Europeans don't differ very much in allele frequency. Ancestry is a probabilistic estimate.

@vinuemunizzioni But that's from the black side. The white population is larger, and if, say, the white population is always about 5x the black population, you get the % of whites who bred with blacks. Which is like ~0.336% per generation.
It's going to be a little higher b/c admixture gets...
@vinuemunizzioni ...dampened as Euro admixture increases. Like, at 25% admixture, the effect of additional admixture is only 75%.
Plus, additional black slaves being imported up to 1807 means that the % of whites who bred with blacks was like, I dunno, 0.6% per generation.

@JustThi30117912@Peoples_Pundit@1tsakeeper You're looking at politics as sides being negatives of each other. You have a culty - conservative spectrum. People who seek and push "causes", and people who just want to grill. All the bad things come from all the causes. Medieval Inquisitors = Nazis = Bolsheviks = SJWs
@JustThi30117912@Peoples_Pundit@1tsakeeper I'm not just mouth-shitting here. What limited research on cults there are (and it's extremely shallow and has a criminally high words:data ratio) all points to shitlibs joining what are formally considered "cults".

@Tallocat It's directional though. Maybe it would be easier to think about other places and times first. What would be the range of debate in the USSR in 1950? Someone who thinks "stalin didn't go far enough" might face some censure. But do you see how irrelevant that is?
@Tallocat The big cult of that place and time is "communism" or whatever. And the spectrum of thought is limited because the spectrum of speech is limited. The fact that turbo cultists get censured is irrelevant to the problem. The problem is this giant cult and the majority of thought
Transgenerational epigenetic effects are going to be limited to a few sites that avoid demethylation. Histone rotation, as far as I can tell, is completely reset by meiosis itself. I can't conceive how that would be sustained through that.
@AnonCandle@mr_plrm@mythinkspot Now those sites do exist, and there's no shortage of shitlib academics who will copiously document every loci that avoids the germline reset, but perhaps this is why they never give their findings an estimated effect size on an operationalized trait.

I hear people who were saying "China has X or Y problem", and my thought is it doesn't matter because China has a sovereign acting national government, the US doesn't.
Meaning that if there's some problem, the Chinese government, being an oligarchy, can respond quickly to
problems. What seemed obvious to me is the purpose of the state is as "the sword and hammer of the nation". Where the disparate resources can be concentrated at focal points.
If the state makes an error, like, I dunno, building a giant city that nobody moved to, they can recover
