Race and IQ
-
@Hitler Yep it's pure cope to believe that Africans could jump 50-70 IQ points and get on the same intelligence level as mildly intelligent whites and asians. The end result is always feeling sorry for people in such a state living amongst the more sophisticated.
-
@Sugar Maybe in a couple of generations? Foreign aid to Africa in the form of progesterone? It's an incredible waste of resources having the african population of over a billion incapable of basic civil living. Peating in Africa is the new frontier...

If you want to know more about the links between race and IQ you should read my book
-
@NiggerBasher The two projects could go in parallel ways. Of course, a strong European presence in Africa is necessary for such a process to take place. Had only Peat and Ian Smith met..

@Sugar frequent race bait threads will be the consequence of the new forum containing a bunch of twitter users..
IQ is probably a bad measure of individual intelligence as Ray mentioned, although it may generally work on a population level. But it's not inconceivable how certain environments would prioritize and select for the limited energy & nutrients during pregnancy to be redirected towards certain features such as a robust immune system over brain size or intelligence. Probably certain inherent factors determine the extent to which something gets prioritized over something else so It's doubtful something as simple as increasing energy production in the immediate would have a drastic effect, but could see that working over one or multiple generations. Implying modern day endocrine disruptors, EMF, toxins and vaccines won't cull mankind in the coming decades I think a big part of the developing world w/ better nutrition andindoctrinationeducational facilities becoming more prevalent and accessible will have higher IQs closer to the mean, although whether that will come with an increase of actual intelligence (instead of the serotonergic number test concept of intelligence we have now) hard to say imo -
@FTMarinetti the solution is for the African population to not be so high....

"Racist geneticists to the contrary, there is no
evidence that either intelligence or brain size is genetically
inherited, since acquired changes are heritable, and since
only one protein peculiar to the brain is known, at present.
Other brain-specific proteins will probably be discovered,
but despite a large effort in that direction, there is no hint of
a molecular-genetic basis for "inherited intelligence."
Glucose, hormones, stimulation and other factors
significantly modify brain size and function."
'Mind and Tissue' Ray peatIQ tests are not widely used in the Soviet Union, since
the IQ is believed merely to reflect the level of social
opportunity (which can be determined in other ways), but
some very interesting studies have been done to determine
the effect of socio-economic status on intelligence. Children
in some asian-USSR towns were given IQ tests in 1929, and
averaged about 35 points below normal. Recently children
in these "retarded" areas were tested, and were found to be
approximately equal in general mental ability to children in
Moscow. In numerical and verbal ability they were slightly
behind the moscovites, but in visual memory and
interpretation of mirror images, they were superior. These
differences are attributed to the continuing differences in
their life situations.

@gugenmungus Scarcity mindset

@buckminster can't get everything right!
-
@FTMarinetti do you call your disposition towards your gut bacteria "scarcity mindset"?

@Dulkadir Aren't there African tribes who don't consume any seed oils, have zero EMF, and eat meat, milk, and honey? These should surely be 110+ IQ individuals from their high levels peating.

Ray's critique of genetics is a central thesis of his work. So much of his ideas are downstream of that conclusion. I'm not sure how folks who disagree can honestly read his work and not get a brain aneurism. The cognitive dissonance must gnaw from your insides.
-
@buckminster I just want to eat ice cream and drink coffee.
-
@buckminster The cognitive dissonance is RAMPANT because I claim that Bushmen and Aboriginals don't have the phenotypical mental capacity to allow for three-dimensional spacial reasoning and foresight into the future.
-
If you have such disparate views from Dr. Peat why pretend you like his work? He's an anti-nazi who made it his life work to expose genetics as a racist psuedo-science. Yall are literally in the polar opposite school of thought.
-
I believe there are distinct differences in current general intellect between races, both on a qualitative and quantitative level. However, it may be possible to raise intelligence to reduce the differential between races. Whether it's worth doing so on a wide scale is unclear yet.
