      This is a massive simplification, to the point of being wrong. All races are bell curves, and the bell curve of race A overlaps that of B (for all A and B). Further, a given member of race A can be raised in different cultures and take on those different cultures. https://t.co/h4DsX8qiqP

      True, but beliefs & values are heritable. Meaning they undergo regression to the mean, same as IQ. Meaning even if a 1st-gen. immigrant assimilates well (holds same cultural beliefs & values), chances are a 2nd gen. won't, unless they come from a culture already similar to the US

      "beliefs & values are heritable" yes "Meaning they undergo regression to the mean" this does not follow

      All genetically inherited traits regress to the familial mean m8

      you've now switched from "heritable" which means "correlated with parents" to "genetically inherited" There are many things that are heritable but not genetic. I inherited English from my parents; I did not revert to the mean of speaking Italian like my great-grand-parents

      Some aspects of political behaviour are *genetically* heritable: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genopolitics#Twin_studies_of_political_behavior …

      yep, I believe it! but that does not mean that just bc something is heritable it regresses to the mean, or that all beliefs and values are genetic

          Genetic aspects of political behaviour will regress to the mean due to recombination.

          http://www.unz.com/jman/regression-to-the-mean/ … Good write-up on regression to the mean if you or MorlockP are interested.

          Not all beliefs & values are genetic, but all beliefs & values have a genetic component. And that component regresses to the mean. Unless those genes show perfect additive heritability, in which case the offspring's trait will simply be a copy of the parents' & have no regress
