Is racial egalitarianism the brainlet's approach to anthropology?

well it's certainly the intellectually dishonest person's approach

>racial egalitarianism
You think it means that all races are genetically equal, that's not what it means. It's a doctrine that promotes that all races be treated equally, regardless of differences between races. Unless you want a dystopic society, racial equality should be pursued regardless of whether asians are superior to whites or not for example.

I know you think you appear sophisticated by using words like anthropology and racial egalitarianism, and it works on people that are too lazy or dumb to understand it, but you're on /sci/, you should make more of an effort.

>> No.8561132

>>8560933
Egalitarianism is the belief and process of facilitating equal treatment for all members of a society, without there being privileged or unprivileged groups. It is not the belief that everyone is innately equal; that is a ludicrous belief altogether.

I believe this poster >>8560969 sums it up very well. You might try rewording this and posting it to /pol/ if you're seeking attention.

I know I didn't use "egalitarianism" correctly but I didn't know another single word to describe this idea, and as you noticed people understand what idea this is referring to. Caring too much about names and labels is more a humanities thing, where the form matter more than the content, but good job on pointing it out. "Anthropology" isn't really that sophisticated a word, it wasn't necessary to mention it.

Science is also about hypothesizing when trying to answer questions that have never been answered before, like the question about the equality of races. In this process there are often conflicting opinions with separate groups of adherents. In this way it's very likely that such a concept would be proposed by one such group, and it's not like nobody is interested in this, so I'm not sure you are knowledgeable enough to give such an answer.

Ok, let's call it (((racial egalitarianism))), this term that describes the misguided notion that all races are identically skilled and otherwise indistinguishable apart from skin color. /sci/ is more than well-versed in /pol/itics.

Again, there is nothing in science that could be substituted for (((racial egalitarianism))). On the other hand, there is very little biological evidence that the races differ significantly in the intelligence department, but that's also a problem of measuring intelligence by itself and understanding how the brain works.

Scientists don't really conduct racial superiority research because it's profitless, not because of liberal jewish overlords that threaten to sack them if they do. Population genetics is often used to classify and compare organisms instead of morphological identification based on racial perceptions.

>> No.8561230

Then you already know that every step science has taken towards research into races shows all kinds of differences that we can observe, measure and rank.

You must've misread/misunderstood or jumped to a foregone conclusion. Read this part:

>Scientists don't really conduct racial superiority research because it's profitless
No part of this sentence refers to my views. It is a simple explanation of why the scientific community in general doesn't pay much mind to such research. My views are irrelevant to the discussion.

The reality is that a lot of scientific research on genetics and populations is funded by companies that want to sell pharmaceuticals or develop personalized medicine, hence such research depends on them for funding. Ironically enough, this is the result of capitalism, the system that white nationalists sing the praises of.

>so I guess you agree with the OP post?
Even if you supplant "racial egalitarianism" with (((racial egalitarianism))) in OP's post, that post was still referring to an approach to anthropology, a field that I believe in modern times does not accommodate the non-scientific view of (((racial egalitarianism))). If OP was talking about anthropology in general throughout history, then perhaps he would've been right (assuming the term switch).

This explanation is wrong, that's why I said "if you think". Research that makes profit gets more funding, but there is plenty of room for profitless research in a country's education budget.

Very few researchers I know pursue purely profitless research. Even researchers in population and conservation genetics yield somewhat useful results at the end of the day. I"m just saying that you might have an inflated view of how big pure research is.

Anyway, let's assume we have a budget for pure pure research. Why spend it on comparing races? It's not like we'll get any meaningful results. We don't know how the brain works (which is what matters to most race realists)! Not to mention we wouldn't know where to begin the comparison, who to choose, markers etc. It's a clusterfuck that would happen way ahead of its time for no reason. In the future, sequencing technologies will allow for cheaper and more efficient comparison, and a better understanding of the brain will make potential results interpretable. There's literally no reason to pursue such research now unless you're a researcher that has an explcit interest in getting noisy results that he can't make sense of. The time you get your race answers is bottlenecked by brain research, so don't even bother starting genome comparisons in the first place.

>This would agree with saying it's the brainlet's approach.
I assume OP meant an approach within academic anthropology. In academic terms, (((racial egalitarianism))) is not accommodated so it can't be adopted as an approach. If OP meant a layman's approach, then yes, it's the brainlet's approach.

Yes, philosophically speaking, affirmative action is anti-egalitarian in the strictest sense. It might have a motive of increasing equality, but the action in itself is discrimination. Also, I'm not sure it works so well since someone getting a job/position would further be discriminated against by being accused of obtaining said position based on gender or race rather than merit.

And no, some random feminist that claims she's egalitarian because she supports AA and "ultimate" equality doesn't make it so she represents egalitarianism.

Equality can be applied at different stages. For instance, ensuring the equality of results can be done at institutional or financial levels, corresponding to socialism and communism, respectively.

However, on a social level, "equality" generally refers to the equality of opportunities. It's not that groups of people, not grouped by intellect, aren't able to do a thing. It's that they didn't have the same opportunities as the people who did. If everyone had the same opportunities as everyone else, then there wouldn't be so many confounding variables, and we could actually draw conclusions instead of having to resort to anecdotes and mudslinging to get our points across.

Scientifically speaking, we don't have the data to draw conclusions about how different races would perform if they all truly had the same opportunities. Surely, they would perform differently, but in what ways, we don't know. Even then, the prevalence of racial mixing confounds the entire methodology of such an experiment. Most people in the Americas have some part Native American in them. Most Europeans are crossbred with Neanderthals. Hell, even the leader of the KKK was found to be part African after genetic testing. By this point, everybody outside of Eastern Asia has some mixture of different races, so perpetuating racial separation is ultimately just another part of the races' evolution toward unity.

You misunderstand. Saying it's "the way of the world" implies (at least to me) that it has to be this way even in our era and in the future, just because it was the way of the world in past human history. I disagree with that and I think the advances brought on by modern technology have greatly contributed to developed societies NOT encouraging war as remaining the way of the world.

Like it or not, sometimes those "bleeding heart" liberals or hippies make a difference when it comes to protesting against war. And unless you want to end up on the wrong end of the stick, you should do everything in your power to discourage war and to prove that it doesn't have to be the "way of the world", instead of spouting some pseudoscientific evolutionary psychology or philosotard bullshit about "human nature", a question that has been tackled by far greater minds than ours and has not been resolved to this day.

No that's not egalitarism, egalitarism is the belief that all races are equal, and if a race is more successfull at something than an other, measures are to be taken to handicap the successful race, and help the unsuccessfull one.
What you are describing is fascism : no special treatment for the weak.

Has anybody ever thought about the good sides of ethnic segregation?

It would be more interesting in the long run. Surely it would lead to further differentiations and specializations in the evolutionary path of the human species.

15% today, 50% in 50 years. That's nowhere near minuscule.
Recents polls show that 2 thirds of european muslims want sharia.( wich include death to homos, stoning women accused of adultery and other "non-moderate" things)

Modern technology cant prevent wars over resources or any type of manipulation to another country. Yes, technology can provide a satsifying life to an individual family unit, but it will not prevent a slightly less satisfying life. Knowing most nations and humans have a bias toward what they consider as part of themselves(their populstion), they will wage war to make sure that quality of life is maintained or advanced if they feel like it is beingg threatened by rising superpowers such as China such as briefly described by this anon here>>8562796.
Once again, I agree that technology promotes peacefulness, but only up to a certain extent. Otherwise this is more of a >>>/his/ type of discussion

Fascism introduced the first forms of welfare state in Italy. Some fascists institutions are still alive today.

I can't count the times I've read some doomsaying article about bioterrorism from dubious and non-dubious sources. Some of this shit is 2012 mayan apocalypse tier. Whether you like Americans or not, they always get this shit under control one way or another, I wouldn't hold my breath over that.

Is this the Muslims will outbreed whites argument? Their birth rates are higher now, they will likely drop after a few generations and if they show no sign of stopping people will elect a bunch of far right populists to do it for them. Meanwhile you should worry about how much these far right rulers will curb your civil liberties after they've stomped the Muslim problem.

You quoted the same person, me. Anyway, the Cold War was arguably much more heated than this new Cold War 2.0 with China and nothing big ever happened. The Soviet Union's dissolution is a prime example of a peaceful transition from a vastly different/hostile society to a West-like model. It was the first time in history something like that happened and a World War 3 was prevented. We haven't had any major wars as of yet, which is encouraging.

Only time will tell. Who knows, if for instance cheap VR machines were made and everyone spent their lives living in their fantasies maybe real world matters would matter much less than we think they will. My point is, there's too many possibilities we haven't factored in. And you're right about the >>>/his/ part, I'm stopping here.

Maybe, maybe not

Yeah, muh civil liberties. They are on paper only already, you fucktard.

Anyway for a board that's supposedly scientific, many people here really don't seem to get the connection between how shitty a country is and the % of muslims inside it.
