really activates the almonds
Don't we live in a world with 23 and Me, polygenic analysis, and CRISPR?
Geneticists are finding SNPs that are linked to intelligence, aggression, time preference and other traits constantly.
And then establishing the origins and estimating the prevalences of those same SNPs in ancestral groups.
I mean what the fuck?
I'm actually embarrassed that this is even a discussion we are having. -

Originally posted by Lanny What I meant by my post is what I wrote in it, I don't see what's confusing here. Race is not a genetic concept in the same way beauty isn't. There is no beauty gene, it's a social standard. Your genetics affect your looks, no doubt, and we even have genetic predispositions to find some traits more beautiful than others. But many of our ideas about beauty change with time, they're socially constructed, and the same is true with race. What race-label we're assigned of course depends on what we look like, which is in turn decided by our genetics, but the assignment itself is generally arbitrary. As already pointed out, meaningful "natural" genetic groups exist and no one denies this, but they do not well align with our social notion of race.
You'd have an easier time understanding this if you could imagine that ideas like social construction of race might have merit other than as a jedi-plot carried out on a backwater internet forum by a whitey and paki.
So is there anything - outside of basic science and physical laws - that's not socially constructed, in your opinion?
Like is there anything in biology that's not socially constructed?
Even the statistical things, like race?
And even if something is socially constructed does that make it wrong/invalid?
Beauty is just a proxy for good health, and not something that is made up by the way. Same with basic observations about the world like "this group on this island looks different to the group on that island".
You guys really are just grasping at straws here, and seem to be looking for clever and weird rationalisations, semantic tricks and excuses to avoid confronting very simple, very basic realities about how the world works.
And if you think Mahmoud isn't 100% racist and on the side of his own race IRL you're in for a shock. -

Originally posted by Mahmoud If you're walking down the street and there's a black guy walking past you, and you're scared because he is black, and people with black skin are overrepresented in crime stats, then we can have a conversation about that abstraction.
What's black?
How dark do you have to be to be black?
What about albinos?
What's a street?
There is definition for the term street that accurately describes everything you would label with such a term.
What's a man?
Is a cat-boy a man?
Is a nenderthal a man?
What's a neanderthal?
What's what?
What?

Originally posted by Mahmoud My "thesis" is that genetics don't and will never validate categorization that remotely resembles anything like the concept of black, white, asian, jedi etc.
Complex systems require judgements. If you aren't prepared to make judgements, then genetics don't define anything - human, dog, cat, etc. You can't define a company, or a house, or a computer, etc.
It obviously matters deeply to you that people not judge you. -

Originally posted by Mahmoud Just don't try to extend it beyond that, because you will lose.
I genuinely want to understand this position.
So is your thesis that humans that evolve to live in different environments will wind up identical?
Mentally or physically or both?
Do you believe in evolution?
Do you believe that DNA encodes the brain?
Do you believe that the brain is the origin of the mind?
Do you believe two people can have different brain structures, but be the same mentally? -
