Seems like maybe the whole eugenics thing had a point. Genetics seem to matter. Perhaps some people used eugenics as an excuse to massacre people and the fact it was before we knew what DNA was should be a clue it was bullshit.

Intelligence is about being able to predict. If you do not take genetics into account or do not wish to see reality your predictions become off.

In a predictive function for say national success that doesn't take genetics into factor you might say things like:
- Brazil will be a super power
- Iraq will be a successful democracy
- Once Gaddafi is gone Libya will be better off
- China will collapse soon (repeat every year for 20 years of prediction)

If the goal is to model the world and your understanding of it to have better predictions to make better decisions, aka education spending. Which had billions and billions spent on pre-k thinking it was what gave rich people advantages only to find out after comprehensive study all pre-k changes went to 0 impact after a few years.

The point is the fear and dismissal over the reality of human genetics, a lysenkoist trait of institutions, has led to immense miscalculation and poor predictive functions existing inside the system. It's not which between Lysenko or Mendelian sounded better, it's what is true and what is reality

The fact is an avg 80 IQ population behaves tremendously different than a 100 IQ population. That the population of African Americans at 120 IQ have a very different trajectory in life and value economically than 90 IQ ones. Sadly, muh feels trumped science and after decades of bad decisions, miss allocation, and stupidity it's time to right the ship.

Also you can't expect everyone to realize it's all a lie. Over the past decades leaders, economists, etc all believed the bullshit PC mass media campaign that genetics don't matter, to mass mistakes.

I'm all in favor of eugenics, but I don't think its people who have "superior intellect" we should be trying to create.

I think we need to weed out the genes that make people into nasty little things

nasty little things only think about how superior they are to all others, and constantly plot ways to destroy anyone they regard as inferior - anyone not like themselves. This is what they use their "superior intellect" for 99.9% of the time. There is no level too low which they will not stoop to get what they want, and given the choice, they wouldn't sacrifice their bmw to save the entire whole world. nasty little things are a serious threat to humanity's long term survival.

I won't use a relatively inexpensive genetic method to cure it completely pre-birth because that's pure evil and hitler existed, read history.

Because of Hitler we can't cure genetic diseases in babies, it would be too evil. Using genetics to cure people is the same as gassing people in camps.

Also we will spend any amount of money on food, drugs, teachers, etc to improve intelligence, but spending a fraction for better returns is evil. We should never alter genetics for the benefit of humanity because Nazi Germany.

To low IQ people reading my posts. I'm pointing out a flaw in a low IQ society. The fix isn't changing that specific low IQ function and mechanism. The solution is changing the low IQ basis that society is constructed from.

It might be a chance to evaluate the decision to hide genetic determinism from society and the lack of GWAS in black populations. I'm not sure how inequality will be fixed if chinese or some other group are getting more intelligent while black populations still have stigma and everyone refuses to even do GWAS on their IQ. Is Inequality solved if some group has ways to improve IQ and not the most disadvantages ones? I would be skeptical of any attempt to ban it worldwide as well.

>IQ doesn't matter

You are using singular examples instead of real statistical results. Up IQ by 25% and you eliminate 99%+ of crime.

>> No.9676805

Take canada for instance, decrease avg IQ by 15. All the sudden you have a shortage of professionals, all the managers suck, the voters become even easier to manipulate, etc. The economic decline would be quick.

Do the opposite, +15 IQ avg, now the pool of engineers, scientists, etc goes up hugely and in quality. You have more innovation, the average voter is more informed, across all of society the pattern matching of people improves. So things like crime decrease etc.

A simple gist of it is that 10 IQ points is 6x effect on economy. So a 90 IQ vs 100 IQ economy with all else being equal is $5,000 per capita vs $30,000 per capita. With the way humanity is moving more towards intellectual requirements this disparity probably increases over time as well.

+15 IQ for instance would be enough to make Japan the world superpower even with their resources and population size.

The correlations of IQ with so many positive things is enough of a reason. If it's because of some magic reasoning not explained with causation then so be it.

If for whatever reason red haired people have longer life spans, better economic prospects, and low crime might as well give everyone red hair. If we are just blank slates then nothing changes anyway. The attempt to improve IQ doesn't work because it's all environment, what do you lose?

A better example

Wearing a black shirt on friday is correlated with 30% of the normal chance of being murdered.

Should you wear a black shirt on fridays?

First you evaluate any costs. Is there a downside to wearing a black shirt, maybe in the cost to purchase one?

At this point you don't know if it is statistical noise or not, but the point is when presented a statistical relation between two variables it makes sense to investigate further.

Sure, it could be stupidity, but without further evidence proving there is no causation it would be even worse to not take the chance on upside.

For instance in the arguments about genetics not mattering.
- Genetics don't matter at all, genetic engineering won't create better people, etc. In this case attempting engineering better people is just a futile effort and you lose the investment in $ billions towards it.

- In the case those 80% IQ is genetic, life outcome is based on IQ/genetics etc and you go with the hunch it's not. what do you lose? You lose huge multipliers to economic and intellectual output, you lose benefits to health and crime rate, etc.

In this equation of risk vs reward even the most skeptical of blank slate SJW must see the balance is heavily in favor of genomics. Not to mention the fact most actual data and statistical evidence overwhelming supports it whereas the arguments against are entirely opinion and "hunch" based or simply character attacks against anyone who looks at the data.

Crime has little to do with intelligence.

Except then you oversaturate the market with those professions and lower the bottom line across the board.

And just for the record, a "low" IQ (by /sci/ standards) doesn't necessarily mean a person is substantially more likely to become a criminal or freeloader. Manufacturing and manual labor jobs were, for all of modern history, occupied by people who /sci/ looks down upon (I know, I know, not one person, but I'm making a generalization because of the number of posters that do). In fact, the vast majority of "low IQ people" are decent and law abiding citizens.
