What do people think epigenetics is? I'm using it to refer to the idea that exposure to stress creates chemicals that negatively affect development via gene expression, and that the net effect of swimming around in stress chemicals is more significant than any inheritable genetic factors, likely to the point where inheritable intelligence isn't even worth seriously talking about by comparison. And people should be happy about that, because the solution is to just give people material aid and comfort and reduce the amount of poo poo they have to juggle, no eugenics required. Its biological affirmation that when you improve someone's material circumstances you improve their functioning as a person. People not raised in a toxic cesspit tend to get sick less often as adults, kids who aren't worried about their next meal tend to be brighter. The policy world still thinks this stuff is magic, but thats because theyre morons. Whats this thread's excuse?

Close but you forget its reversible and its inheritance is not guaranteed.

I think it would be better to think about how we can make skynet happen and to convince it to try to kill ronald reagan instead of one of the connors.

In the 70’s the US sent a carrier group to intimidate India and started a massive program to arm Pakistan. I don’t think that’s something open to them now.

You should hear my accent.
Isn't the yuan still pegged to the dollar?

Yeah, the US should watch out, but I think you guys might be overstating what's going on right now. China's playing a smart long game for sure (and I don't have tons of confidence in the US responding in an thoughtful way), but I think we're still in the baby steps phase.

Here's a bit more background on that Kenya clip too. Kenyans had been buying up a lot of dollars recently, but it doesn't look like it's about China.

it doesn’t need to be about china. yuan is not replacing the dollar as the worlds reserve currency. it’s about an increasing trend of de-dollarization, the specific currencies being used matter less than that and it can be any of them
