/sci/ - Science & Math

How do we overcome the progressive dogma?

>>12171450
>unarmed black men are moke likely to be struck by lightning than being killed by the police in the US
kek is this true, give source

>>12171450
The race thing is because people of certain races have less access to good education

>>12171450
>Is modern day science little more than the Church of Liberalism?
When is the last time you did science or spoke to scientists in real life?

what the fuck are you talking about? science is just words and figures on paper. 99% of science is just chemistry, physics and biology. there is nothing political about crystallography or thermodynamics or Fourier series. i am a chem major and i literally haven't learned about a single political or controversial thing in my two years as chem undergrad, probably will never.
journalists from all sides pick what they like with 0 background knowledge whatsoever, slap on the "scientific" label to increase credibility and politicize it to fit their narrative.

That cartoon would never happen. Invalidation man has darker hair that validation man. That makes his views more valid.

There are on average 270 lightning fatalities and injuries each year in the U.S. 35 of which would be black, assuming an equal proportion of 13% of lightning victims. Roughly 20 unarmed black men are killed by cops every year.

Seems to be fairly similar odds.

This.
The fact that /pol/niggers keep repeating this shit tells me they never leave their room and believe everything they read on /pol/.

Where do you think education come from? Protip: for people of certain race to be educated you need people to educate them. White people have educated each other. Asians have done the same.

>>12171577
Because Europe and Asia have been under the same sphere of influence (contact, trade, etc) for thousands of years, meanwhile SSA only a few hundred

>>12171547
>a chem major
this is why. OP is criticizing all science but what he is really criticizing is the social sciences

>>12171511
IQ, when properly measured is transcendent of education. Also if your theory was correct then we would simply need to control for education quality when test taking for IQ.

Your brain becomes smarter when you learn new things

>>12171511
Do you mean to imply you can eradicate hundreds of thousands of years of divergent evolution by simply providing copies of Shakespeare to African children? I thought /sci/ believed in Darwin's theory of natural selection, not the pauedoscientific Liberal myth of the "blank slate".

>>12171450
let me guess, you have no academic background?

>>12171641
Learning and reading about new things make your brain more powerful overall

Kids in ssa don't even have access to books or pencils, and the ones that do usually end up moving to the states

>>12171658

>>12171635
that is not how IQ tests work, Additionally
>if your theory was correct then we would simply need to control for education quality when test taking for IQ.
do you support new research with you premise?

>>12171671
Sure but you're operating on the assumption that human races would have equal performance, which is a faith based moral - for example: all humans are equal in the eyes of God.

>>12171674
I wasn't referring specifically to IQ tests, but when you do things like read it powers up the brain, because the brain is like a muscle. If you don't work that muscle you're gonna naturally score low on things like IQ tests.

>>12171678
I'm an atheist, and I think if all humans had access to unlimited free top education the scores would be even.

>>12171672
missing the point entirely, classic /pol/

>>12171679
>when you do things like read it powers up the brain, because the brain is like a muscle
it "strengths neural pathways". You should look into the Flynn effect too for more on IQ and education. It points out the, most likely phenotypical, increase in IQ scores of western democracies over the last 100 years. Education is one possible explanation
>>12171697
Do you think if all humans have the same nutritional intake they would all have the same height aswell, what about susceptibilities to different diseases, or facial features? Aptitude for athleticism? Or is it just IQ, as neo-liberal teaching coincidentally enforces in it's education.

>>12171672
So you confirm it?
