We'll see what happens.

Equating brain size to intelligence can be misleading. There iz sum vague, unreliable, general correlation

If you mean everyone with normal brain function has the potential to be intelligent, then yes, our entire species has evolved with a general preselection for intelligence and that is genetic. Anything else I call out as the same kind of stuff that JO753 was on about. Which I recall arguing about with people here before.

Maybe I think ranking people on the basis of intelligence is an inherently questionable practice? That it has been proven unscientific many times over? But no, *I'M* wrong on this. Sure. He calls his opinion taboo and politically incorrect to say, and you all don't see it as a blatantly obvious dodge, or consider his statements on the basis that they fly in the face of a veritable land slide of contradicting information that determined the old studies about group intelligence and population dynamics that these ideas are based on were biased and flawed and discriminatory. You think I'm being HARD on the guy for pointing this out, as well as pointing out the unfortunate history these ideas have had.

And ultimately it's because you agree with him. Have a nice day.

Originally posted by JO753:And yes, dum people can produce smart children, but its less likely. Just az speciez hav their limits, groups within a speciez are also variable. Its very unlikely, for example, that a baby chimp will grow up to be a nuclear scientist and even less likely that a kitten will.

Because it was obvious where JO753 was coming from! Do you think that post about the blacks and asians was a surprise to me? I knew that's what they were getting at! Because these ideas about genetic intellectual superiority all came about from this!

This is what I'm trying to warn you all about. Ignore me if you will, but on these stances I absolutely MUST be uncivil, because to allow these ideas to go uncontested is to allow past mistakes to happen again. On this I will not budge.
