Legitimately retarded contingent of the internet that doesn't understand how statistics work and substitutes length for substance, strikes again.
The problem with interracial intelligence studies conducted thusfar has been methodological, and rightards simply do not want to admit this, because if someone points out that these results cannot be used to draw the conclusions they want to draw, they tard out and yell FEELS FACTS?
Go and actually read The Bell Curve or listen to any interview with Charles Murray to actually hear what the strongest researcher on the subject of race IQ differences himself says about it.
In subsequent interviews, he has also admitted to the selection problems of current racial studies: for example, the East Asian population in the US can be sampled as fairly as possible to represent the EAsians in the US, but the population itself is a poor sample to represent EAsians: the majority of families who are even capable of making the migration from East Asia had to have the resources available to them to make the move and thus were likely middle to upper class, better educated families of higher social stature and familial backgrounds of success, and there were large waves of East Asian migrations after the largest scale systematic racism had been eliminated. Meanwhile for blacks, the studies are literally sampling the descendents of people who were impacted by Jim Crow less than 50 years ago, or going to sub Saharan Africa and asking a villager to take an IW test, like they're really going to even have the same proficiency at the test as the comparison groups.
Literally directly addressed by Pinker.

No I insist, this way I can slap your ass on the way through, watch my cum dribble out of your holes.
i'll respond to this properly when i sober up after christmas but lol you are dunning-kruger as fuck if you actually think charles murray is the foremost researcher in the area of race and intelligence, he co-wrote one book 25 years ago and has been mostly irrelevant since, meanwhile arthur jensen studied it for 40 years and has covered most of the things you think are contentions decades ago but i doubt you've read a single paper. no wonder you have such a dumb and misinformed opinion on this, you haven't done anything more than basic bitch cursory research but still think you can say something authoritative
and no, pinker's cherry picking doesn't minimally diminish his point, it totally blows his better angels thesis out of the water because it renders him unable to even establish the basic axiom, which is that violence has declined in the long term -

Originally posted by Loing He literally didn't argue that though. He says that the progress should be an optimistic indication, even though improved media and communication technologies make it seem worse than ever, because you're not isolated any more, so it's easy to lose sight of the fact that things are getting better and efforts are effective.
it's basically a summary of his arguments in enlightenment now. he uses the standard neoliberal our world in data approach with lots of graphs and charts to paint a picture of a world getting better at a surface level while being flippant about major issues we've created like climate change
as for better angels his treatment of historical data is a pretty egregious example of cherry picking and largely undermines his central thesis
https://www.researchgate.net/publication/273371719_Pinker's_List_Exaggerating_Prehistoric_War_MortalitySo let us look back over Pinker’s list. Of the original 21, Gobero, Niger is out because it has no war deaths. Three cases, the burial ground across the Nile from Site 117, Sarai Nahar Rai, lndia, and Calumnata, Algeria are all eliminated because they only have one instance of violent death. One site each was dropped because of duplication in Brittany, southern Scandinavia, and California. That leaves two-thirds of the original List. 14 examples, which purportedly represent average war mortality among 'prehistoric people.' Jebel Sahaba, the two cases from the Dnieper gorge, and Indian Knoll are all highly unusual in their very early dates and number of casualties, when compared to other contemporary locations, including 117's neighbor’s cemetery (see Ferguson, chapter 11). Three European sites are from the Mesolithic, which has gained a reputation for violence compared with earlier and later cultures, and two of those are from the Ertebolle tradition, which has an established reputation of being especially violent even within the Mesolithic. Four cases (compiled from many more individual sites) are from the Pacific coast. British Columbia, and Southern-Central California, all of which have higher levels of violence than any other long-term North American sequence, and which still show great variations by time and place. The final three are from Illinois and South Dakota or thereabouts, which, even during the most violent centuries in the entire sequence of prehistoric North America, stand out at the extreme points of warfare killings.
Is this sample representative of war deaths among prehistoric populations? Hardly. It is a selective compilation of highly unusual cases, grossly distorting war's antiquity and lethality. The elaborate castle of evolutionary and other theorizing that rises on this sample is built upon sand.
pinker may be a genius in psycholinguistics but his popsci ventures far outside his actual area of expertiseact like nothing is working.
because nothing is working fast enough, the negative trends overwhelm the positiveFor example on the issue of race relations: no, things haven't gotten worse
they haven't gotten worse but we're running up against HBD limits, once people realize that the hereditarians are right, there are major biological differences between races and IQ gaps can't be narrowed significantly, i foresee a major cultural shift toward anti multiethnicismEverything is getting better
no it's not, even human intelligence is in declineand we can make it better
we could but we're not on track to do soKill yourself

Originally posted by Loing I recommend Steven Pinker's book, The Better Angels of Our Nature.
'in the past 30 years the average third world wage has doubled from $1/day to $2/day, just look at that progress. we have by strict technical definition lifted so many people out of poverty by supplanting their lives of sustenance farming with sweatshop labor, and created so much wealth for a handful of oligarchs that it's hard to argue things aren't getting better. doesn't matter that the world is tearing itself apart geopolitically and on the verge of ecological disaster, because smart people will somehow figure out how to solve these issues, probably'

Think about it logically.
Anything else is Joker killing his own henchmen to scare batman, and won't make any difference.
the rich own the means of production so the only way we can stop carbon extraction is to round them up in an enclosed space and deploy the zyklon -
