If we had been allowed to talk about race and IQ, the invasion of Iraq would never have occurred, because no one would have been under the illusion that a Jeffersonian Republic was going to emerge from a population with an IQ in the 80s. Opposing science got >500k people killed.
Let's talk about it, if we accept your premise that we can conclusively draw conclusions about genetic potential according to these stats, as you did for Iraq, then logic dictates u must accept Argentinians are genetically smarter than Russians & Russians are smarter than Greeks.pic.twitter.com/hQ2RwB7q6j
Another problem with your premise about the "Iraqi Race" being intrinsically low IQ, is that there is no such thing as a distinct Iraqi race, an Iraqi ethnicity yes but a race no. Anthropologists dictate that there are only five distinct races of man and Iraqi isn't one of them.pic.twitter.com/LOF4bkdRkF
Another point you made is that" opposing science got people killed". Yet these IQ maps are not made by scientists. They are estimates made by psychologists and 'social scientists', neither of which are accepted as actual sciences.http://articles.latimes.com/2012/jul/13/news/la-ol-blowback-pscyhology-science-20120713 …
If u want to make conclusions about Genetics and IQ, you'd have to conduct actual scientific studies that remove all other factors, such a study would require genetic testing. Then we cld test wether Italians are genetically smarter than Norwegians as some conclude from this map.
As it is now any number of conclusions could be drawn from these maps. For example, you might say there is a correlation between high IQ and mass immigration. Here's a map of percentage immigrant population vs IQ map. Questions about correlations/causation must be considered.pic.twitter.com/LXez98VKnu
I'm not saying intellect isn't genetic, but that your IQ maps haven't proven that. Why did high IQ Japan ban the wheel for 300 years? Why did medievil west Europe fail to create sewage systems in their cities, even though the near east had plumbing thousands of years earlier?
If ancient civilisations of the near east & Mediterranean had concluded west Europeans were intellectually inferior because they were still hunter gatherers, wld it have proved correct? Yet the conclusion u draw from these maps is europeans are intellectually inferior to EastAsia
Another prob with these IQ maps is, results are "estimated from neighbouring countries". This extrapolation was done to 79 countries (syria included). Furthermore, for all nations diaspora aren't included in the stats. How can 1 draw conclusions about ethnicity vs environment?pic.twitter.com/NbxQCTduJs
I respect your anti-war position @StefanMolyneux however, consider that these IQ maps are 'estimates' performed by political scientists, not scientists. Also, consider that borders dont reflect ethnicity in a lot of places and mass immigration is causing a brain drain in the eastpic.twitter.com/6cSMw5IIjc
Consider that during the Iraq war, there were actual death squads targetting intellectuals, in particular, there was a list of microbiologists, physicists the Mossad thought could be a threat. Consider that Iraq's civilisation is many times older than that of western Europe.pic.twitter.com/hSTARSVQ44
Lol.. the mesopotamians were in no way genetically similar to the present-day population. Same goes for Egypt, where several Pharaohs had red hair.
Are u claiming that north west Europeans were also genetically different back then? If not why were they uncivilised while Iraq was civilised? Logic dictates if Iraqis were genetically European back then they wouldn’t have been civilised either. Even now some Iraqis have red hair
But as soon as they developed they outpaced the rest of the world. To keep a long story short, Turkey, North Africa, Iran and even some parts of India had significant (Indo) European populations back in the days.
"Indo-European" is a language group honey, and the near east never had it, historically our languages group has always been Semitic. Language is an indicator of migration. So your the idea that somehow European language/ppl were there then disappeared is ridiculous. Furthermore,
Studies of language indicate a common proto-indo-european origin for Sanskrit, Persian, Nepalese, ... Germanic, other European languages, and so on. Exactly where that would be geographically is disputed.https://everipedia.org/wiki/lang_en/Proto-Indo-European_language/ …
Excuse me, Sanskrit originates from phoenocian (i.e. Syria). As does Proto-indo-european. You're welcome.https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/sanskrit-was-first-spoken-in-syria-not-india-+-5-more-history-facts-that-will-shock-you-235071.html …
1. This assumes that the invasion of Iraq was actually about creating a democracy, something that was propaganda designed to fool no one but the most foolish. 2. It assumes western countries actually have working Jeffersonian republics, an illusion.https://twitter.com/StefanMolyneux/status/1082489068741513217 …
Molyneux has really sperged out on this stuff. Throughout most of our history, humans of all races have had relatively low IQ's as compared to today. Even the “100 average” IQ of whites isn't really anything to brag about as far as creating a stable society is concerned.
That doesn't really serve your point though. If we struggle creating stable societies with middling average intelligence, would we do better if we lowered it?
The problem is ur definition of intelligence is flawed. Let me ask u, The Mediterranean and near eastern people have sewage systems old than most north-west European cities. Does that mean north-west Europe do u accept that means by your definitions were genetically dumber then?
