Then why isn't the average Physicists/Mathematician a polymath? Why do they take up specializations in their own fields of study? Think about the situation here logically instead of spouting off at the mouth like a smoothbrain.

>Asian americans are not living in fear. Why is that?

Because China and Japan own over 1.1 trillion dollars of the U.S. debt each. Has substantial footholds in the global economy and self reliant on technology. The second the U.S. starts treating Asian Americans like Blacks is moment they'll economically castrate you.

There's a good fucking reason even fucking Trump has to tip toe around China despite all their tomfoolery. So stop acting like a retard and thinking this is about muh civility.

>using this bullshit means you have no basis for your discussion and I see no reason to engage with you further

More like you have no way to properly substantiate Sowell's claims by providing the single parent rate of African blacks to American blacks at the time of said study. So instead you just meme videos and statements without showing the 40% rate being claimed was a natural occurrence prior.

Also just because said population would have been castrated if not for exported slavery does not mean exported slavery didn't increase the single parent rate to higher levels. Castration isn't even relevant in this conversation since you can't be implicated for abandoning a child/family thus contributing to single parent rates if you can't conceive one in the first place.

Not him but black americans have higher cancer rates/ underlying conditions because they literally have a history of being treated like shit.

>centuries of offspring utilizing the lowest caste africans and raped slaves
>centuries of the lowest tier diets and health care
>centuries of non-stop high stress
>centuries of bottom of the barrel working conditions

If anyone expected a different result than what we are seeing now than they are crazy. I remember having arguments with anons on here last year about how black Americans still suffer from malnutrition and they balked at the idea just because they live in a first world country. Now during the Covid-19 pandemic people are seeing Black Americans suffering from higher mortality rates. And only now are people slowly realizing from recent research that Black Americans have higher rates of vitamin D deficiency. Vitamin D is what helps your immune system in fighting infections which explains why Covid-19 is doing more damage to them.

Also concerning cancer rates that itself can still be attributed to malnutrition since double burden can cause obesity in adulthood. Obesity is linked to multiple types of cancers that affect Black Americans at higher rates.

Reminder this is just only looking at diet alone. High stress can also increase likelihood of cancer development.

Not him but most kids in general don't inherently care about school which is why parents, teachers and the government have to force them to go there. There's a reason Asian parents for example are viewed as hardasses concerning school.

Unless you actually think asian kids in china and south korea want to be in school for +14 hours a day.

>according to current science intelligence is 80% gene expression 20% unknown

No, gene expression for intelligence ranges between 40-60% depending on the circumstances. It has been proven that diet and basic literacy can affect intelligence.

>there is NO currently known environmental influence to permanently increase intelligence.

False

>The level of iodine nutrition plays a crucial role in the intellectual development of children. The intelligence damage of children exposed to severe ID was profound, demonstrated by 12.45 IQ points loss and they recovered 8.7 IQ points with iodine supplementation or IS before and during pregnancy.

>In a longitudinal analysis of cognitive development in monozygotic twins, assessed in five waves from ages 7 to 16, we found support for this hypothesis. Twins with better earlier reading ability compared to their identical cotwin tended not only to have better reading at subsequent measurements but also higher scores on general intelligence tests. No associations of reading exposure with intelligence were found beyond those of reading ability. We also found that the associations are not restricted to possible effects of reading on the verbal domain—mainly affecting vocabulary and general knowledge—but extend to associations of reading with nonverbal intelligence.

There is also evidence that specific trade-offs within intelligence can be done during adulthood. Particularly increasing spatial navigation but reducing visual memory.

>suggesting that genes or evolution stops at the neck just shows that you're either wasting away doing entrance level work or are simply echoing some political guidelines.

Not even him but there's a difference between suggesting evolution doesn't affect the head/brain and suggesting small head/brain size prevents genius level intelligence.

Protip: Inuit Eskimos, one of the ethnic populations with the biggest cranial sizes globally hasn't produced a single genius let alone a notable mathematician or scientist of note. Meanwhile sub-sahara Africans have (look up Alexander Animalu and Bennet Omalu) despite having cranial size averages much smaller than Inuit Eskimos. What does that tell about importance of head size here?

>b..but neither of them won a Nobel or Fields medal though...they can't be geniuses

You who also didn't win either of those? Von Neumann but no one denies his genius intellect.
