What is it, exactly, that you think I believe?
Hard to tell
You make ridiculous assertions including unreleased studies "sloppy".
And more to follow.
I am not sure what you are saying here. Are you saying that they are delaying release of the info for propaganda purposes?
I am saying this is politcially very senstitive info, and that they may be considering how best to release with the least possible negative impact on society.
Perhaps even delyaing it as it's news is powerful and perhaps devastating to some.
Really? A guy who made it to be a Supreme Court Justice isn't that bright? Not brighter than a bunch of Internet dwellers on a message board? Ok :doh
By all accounts, the intellectually weakest member of the court.
Again, do some research instead of faking it with with semantics, on which you couldn't outdo me Either even if I wasn't the one with facts here and you were.
OMFG. You are simply making my argument for me. This is EXACTLY what I was trying to convey. This is precisely the reason every individual deserves their chance to prove themselves. What did you think I meant?
I Was the first to and beyond that, it's Obvious.
One ie, Bell Curve!, could be well lower in peak and average than another, but one can always pick an individual from any spot on them.
Duh!
Yep. I think we all should have an emotional stake in the outcome.
I think we should try and discussd it rationally while you hurl insults because you don't like the infornation.
Hostile throughout.
If it turns out that it is a fact that one race TENDS to be less capable than another, it would still not justify discrimination based on race: Because any one individual within that race could be a whole lot smarter than, say 80% of the other 'smarter' race.
"If"? I thought you said you were "familiar".
Yet aren't Familiar, you Unwittingly inserted "2%" which shows you are NOT familiar with all the studies which are in the 10-15% range.
If you were, you sought to Dishonestly minimize it.
But, this isn't what would happen. Discrimination would happen based on race. Humans don't behave in an ideal fashion. There would be a pronounced wave of discrimination based on facts, but also based on faulty logic.
What "Faulty Logic".
AGAIN... Races have differing IQs. There CAN a genius in any, it's just less likely in some than others.
It of course also effects the average group/great majorty of that race and can be evidenced in life outcomes as well.
Might help explain a continent/s, or country/s, or city, etc.
You seem to think that I won't accept the facts (if they turn out as the OP hints), or that I believe in suppressing them. I don't. I am still sickened by the probable outcome in society that will result from the discovery of those facts. You should be too.
Lie.
You are sickened by what the truth.
First one must have the facts, THEN we deal with them.
We don't suppress the facts because some can't handle it.
I concur, it will be only a few who really understand the meaning of the genetics and will gain an enlightened, live and let live recognition ... and so forth. The rest, the majority, will choose a different path. This is what scares me. A majority will feel justified in their racism.
If their 'racism' is based on average IQ, they probably will feel justified. Why wouldn't they?
I know it seems impossible, but sometimes the revelation of facts CAN lead to poor outcomes. I still believe that we must maintain credibility by allowing the truth to see the full light of day, but that changes nothing about the nature of the outcome.
Make up your mind.
All that said, I do think we need a reminder that this information has not been presented, yet. Nor has it been debated by the larger scientific community. I have been speaking hypothetically and speculatively about what it is that they think they have.
And yet, it was already "sloppy" pre-release according to you!
and no doubt there will be detractors Including You, no matter what the evidence, just as those whose religion is creationism instead of Liberalism allows them to Deny reality.
