icantfindaname posted:Not the NYT but close enough This is so absurdly bad I love it: "When their cohort went to see "Hamilton," the others professed surprise that Harden and Tucker-Drob had enjoyed it, as if their work could be done only by people uncomfortable with an inclusion vision of American History." Yes, history of rich white racists but with a diverse cast is an "inclusive vision" gently caress off.

icantfindaname posted:Not the NYT but close enough the 'hereditary left' jesus loving christ lol. theres a supernice quote in that article as well quote:Her rhetoric is grand, though the practical implications, insofar as she discusses them, are not far removed from the mid-century social-democratic consensus—the priorities of, say, Hubert Humphrey. If genes play a significant role in educational attainment, then perhaps we ought to design our society such that you don’t need a college degree to secure health care. and all it took was alienating everybody on the left who was saying the exact same poo poo about how society should be, but didn't say it ~scientifically~ enough no, its not enough to track educational attainment to parent income/social class and see that it correlates like 1:1. nooo we have to drag polygenic scores into this so some racist jackasses can base their theories of social caste onto it, because social scientists must be idiots who havent thought of doing ~real science~ it is so loving stupid on every level lmao

Thing is, our understanding of whether and how this actually works in practice is effectively nonexistent. At the most charitable, this is pure theory, and only used to justify the most horrific abuse and atrocities when put into practice.

At the most charitable, this is pure theory, and only used to justify the most horrific abuse and atrocities when put into practice. I don't think that's true since sequencing the genome. There's been a lot of work done on intelligence since, anyway that doesn't rely on kinship studies. From my limited understanding, the trick always used by race science weirdos is that intelligence scores between individuals is then extrapolated onto aggregated scores between arbitrarily assigned phenotypes which never hold up scientifically. Ancestry kits have helped feed this idea that you can divide our DNA into five common ancestry races, which is also dumb as hell. Dreylad has issued a correction as of 14:12 on Sep 8, 2021 |

We honestly don't understand how genes impact traits like intelligence. We don't even understand the structure and workings of the brain well enough to explain why one person is smarter than another. It's also overly deterministic to say that genes explain accomplishment and behavior and smacks of an obsession with genetic hierarchy that's problematic at best.

My neuroscience friend told me that in neural cell gene sequences there's a similar thing to the hypervariable gene sequences of the grabby regions of antibodies. Which is basically an RNG component where your body generates as many conformations as it can so it's got a tool for any infection. I don't know if that's true but if so it'd explain why people get up to whatever wild thoughts they get up to. But like everything to a large extent your genes determine your rough potential and the environment and your response to it determines the actual outcome. In my case I'm a 400 IQ pimp who took a wrong turning somewhere, probably Sonic the Hedgehog

We don't even have a way to measure objective intelligence at all beyond IQ tests, which were invented by european social darwinists in the 19th century to justify genociding the entire southern hemisphere and are also unreliable and useless

The Stanford-Binet test was created to identify students who were falling behind and needed help - a far cry from its subsequent use. Gould (pbuh) on measuring "intelligence" as a single data point: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wcSSLo9TIs
