Are you serious? What a load of shit

You positively sprung at the chance to refute my claims citing research that has nothing to do with what i said. IQ certainly can be genetic, i have no problem with accepting that. How we quantify and measure intelligence i would certainly argue is up for debate. You strike me as a /new/sman just spoiling for a fight with some leftist snot who thinks race is a social constrict(it's not).

OP doesn't know IQ is a sham

inb4 someone accuses me of a low IQ.

I thought for a second there we got mixed up. Calm down, son.

Can anyone really claim to have a "scientific" point of view? I would think anyone who claims either sides of the isle must be tied dogmatically to the party line.

>>3493742

So basically anyone with a lower IQ than you is "stupid". Guess that online IQ test gave you a big head

Don't get buttmad that you can't explain how shit works.

This isn't fucking new. Many different scientists over the last 100 years have tried to answer this question.

Huxley(darwins bulldog) Vs Kropotkin(the founder of socialism)

Fisher, Haldane, Neumann, Clyde Allee, Manard Smith, and Hamilton

Price found an answer, dawkings wrote the selfish gene. All altruistic sacrifice is a play to spread our genes. How is this new in any way?

The worst part is fags like OP who call religious people Idiots.

An MS paint comic. Your point is so well represented.

Are you in awe that we didn't even have income taxes until woodrow Wilson? I mean, how did the country survive without people paying income taxes? Why where individuals immigrating from around the world in record numbers in that time period?

>Science used to fill the front page and there would be actual fucking discussions of shit that actually matter.

You must be new here.

I typically enjoy political talk

but i think the Israeli conflict is boring as fuck.

Anyone agree?

Shut your fucking mouth Eisenhower

It's called taking the high road. You'll lean about it when you're older.

Keep trying to convince yourself that

You must be so smart OP.

Read all those books, then talk to me about economics.

The most basic grounded book for starters is 'Economics in one Lesson' by Henry Hazlitt. 'Human Action' by Ludwig von Mises and 'Man, Economy and State' by Murray Rothbard (this might or might not include 'Power and Market', depending on the edition) are works on individual human methodology, and how that translates into economics. 'Socialism: an Economic and Sociological Analysis' by Ludwig von Mises is a refutation of socialism, Marxist and otherwise, in all its branches (the economic refutation I endorse, but the social and cultural refutations are not very perspicacious, and are outdated too, since the first version of the book is 90 years old). As far as pure hard economics go, the seminal works are 'Principles of Economics' by Carl Menger and the multivolume 'Capital and Interest' by Eugene von Böhm-Bawerk, which has very important ideas on the importance of time and time preference in economics (see interest rates).

Capitalism is where the means of production are privately owned. Things that make a society non-capitalistic

1. A fiat currency
2. A property tax making true ownership impossible
3. Barriers to entry into fields of private business (we could get into specifics here and at number 4, but it's really not necessary)
4. Barriers to entry in fields controlled exclusively by the government (which is different from 3 in that competition in these areas are only considered private if they were able to exist)
5. Government favoritism in business
6. intellectual property rights

So. please, don't go letting modern non-examples ruin your perspective on capitalism.

Unfortunately you have lived in a society that doesn't have a free market. The large corporations are protected under government laws. The very fact that you use such strong and perverse language suggests to me that you are young and feel strongly about this. Get educated before you spout insults

you know how many people post on /sci/?

it's not many
