Liberal religion is the reason why biologists like @bretweinstein won't apply evolutionary theory to questions of human biodiversity. It destroys the blank slate and with it their schemes to socially engineer society into multi-culti utopia.
Not an argument Bret - is your position that the brain - our most resource-consuming organ - is completely immune to evolutionary forces? That countless other organs and attributes are affected by evolution but NOT the brain? How could that be possible? You accuse ME of fantasy?https://twitter.com/BretWeinstein/status/1070127960009564160 …

Ever think that maybe you're both wrong. N one was driven out by people forcefully. They left because they needed more resources. When the "scout" team found them. They stayed. Then over time micro evolution took place changing them, and separating...

What's most telling, is that we don't see the same type of intellectual exploration in other cultures across the last 500+ years as we do in Europe. While we can safely assume that East Asians had the capacity, something in their social order didn't encourage it at that time.
-
Interesting point. I'd be careful saying "had the capacity". Who knows what capacity is really. Maybe europeans had a cleverness + balls, and that shows in our non bowing, risk taking culture. They evolved to have the tall poppy gets cut. That doesn't get you steve jobs.

I think that's an important point. Was it European intelligence combined with a certain level of aggression inherited from Neanderthal intermixing? Did the Black Plague kill so many idiots that it tipped the scales in favor of more calculating and circumspect people to breed?
-
That’s interesting! A massive plague to trim the fat
-
The question for me is, what was the magnitude of influence of the Black Plague? Did you know that some Europeans are actually immune to AIDS as a result of it? It has to play a huge role in western societal trends, in my view.

1. Evolution happens across a much larger time frame than human migration 2. Genetic disparities between races is nearly nothing aside from a few superficial visual traits that have informed how we view and categorize race as a culturally constructed term

Yes but more than tens of thousands of years are needed to create any sort of noticeable change. Humans today are not different from humans that lived in Ancient Rome for example.

Yup. Now hit him with EO Wilson & the math of group selection. Lay some eusociality and division of labor and surplus food leading to specialization and thus... sexual selection based on IQ! This isn’t even THAT taboo. I have like 1,168 ideas more crazy than eusociality Bret. ;)

Meh pretty obvious straw man here. You just made up an argument for him claiming he denies the evolution of the brain then made your standard counterargument. Lame duck debate style right there.
-
Im just wondering why we are starting the race realism argument again, I thought that debate died over a year ago.
-
Who knows? I guess there will always be people who find the argument relevant because it makes blaming the problems of the world on a group of people easy and then allows the shifting of responsibility for solving problems.
