Fun fact actually: The studies done on the polygenic score in 2019, in Piffer's newest study of 1,267 SNPs associated with intelligence found something very very interesting: The study found a correlation of .89 in a sample of 23 nations between national IQ and a population's mean polygenic score.
What this means is that the polygenic score accounts for 79% of the variance in IQ between nations.
79%
I found it interesting that it matches up exactly with the twin studies' assumption of 80% heritability.
GWAS based qualitative genetics will always be off compared to quantitative until we literally “find the genes.” We can only explain like 30% of the variance of height right now using qualitative genetics but you would be called a fool to think that height is only .3 heritable. It’s more around .9 as shown by quantitative genetic studies. Using qualitative genetics when it is so relatively young is dangerous because some shitlib will keep saying “find the genes” forever and moving the goalposts. Top down measurement is more than enough when it comes to things like race and IQ.
I meant everything is partially genetically determined much more than westerners want to believe. Personality is genetic for instance. “Will power” is genetic. Westerners like to believe in le epic blank slate when in reality almost everything is determined by your genes.
And I agree, and was agreeing with you. Our neural nets wire up very strongly according to genetics... about 80%. The other 20% of how your brain is wired is due to how your mom ate, whether your immune system was hyperstimulated with an MMR vaccine that warmed up your brain a little, whether you took drugs, had some sort of acute traumatic event or a chronic abuse period. Yes. The West's schools have been dumbed, and Tabula Rossa is nice in an equality phase, but it completely denies very obvious, very foundational science. Our brain is subject to the exact same genetic forces as the rest of our body.
In China they test all men so they can get data from both X and Y and then see which genes correlate with higher iq, social credit score, agreeableness etc. I think they will start practicing soft genetics soon. Meanwhile in the west we play pretend in that men, women and all races are exactly the same and your environment determines everything. It’s pretty sad dude. The field of anthropology was more accurate on race 120 years ago than it is today thanks to people like Boas ruining it. The fact that our students in the west are taught straight up lies about race and what it entails is disgusting.
Psychotherapy has replaced christianity as the main religion and the means by which we attempt to understand and remedy “sinful” behavior. But it rewards bad behavior, elevates dysfuntional people. The dysfuctional “victim” is the ultimate hero in our society. That is how blacks fuck up the most, yet are constantly praised as being the most virtuous.
Healthy introspection combined with empathy can result in healthy behavior without religion. But it has a minimum IQ requirement way above that of religion and cant supplant the value in religion in taming the ignorant in their animalistic urges.

Its not just IQ, its also Antisocial Personality Disorder and the dark triad, the personality traits of narcissism, Machiavellianism, and psychopathy.

It’s everything. Everything is genetic. Westerners don’t like to believe this but it’s true.

twin studies suggest that roughly 80 % of who you are is genetic and the other 20 % is due to environment.

It is kind of hard there of course, because there are like a thousand genes associated with intelligence.
Yeah, I just thought it was interesting

We have too much empathy. Its a gift and a curse. Hence why we fall victim to the most charity fraud too, not just immigration and voter fraud.
