Jon Miller: MikeH speaks the truth
Jon Miller: MikeH is a shockingly revolting dolt and a masturbatory urine-reeking sideshow freak whose word is as valuable as an aging cow paddy.

A farmer who needs to make sure he has enough seed for next year even if he is hungry? Or a hunger gatherer?
Who will live in larger and more complex societies on average? The farmer or the hunter?
Which will be part of a larger population? [more lottery tickets so to speak]
Anyway, this is just arguing about recent selection.
What about the notion that greater general intelligence is more useful in environments radically different from our ancestral environment?Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

And, as we all know, Africa is populated by a single monolithic race, none of whom have ever formed agrarian societies. Furthermore, Chinese people faced much higher challenges to survive than anybody in Africa during those centuries of colonial ****ting-on.

Some scientist predict a split into multiple species along these lines.
I don't like this future. I much prefer a future where humans aren't that unequal in ability.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Also, civilization as we know it emerged from stupid, bumbling hunter-gatherers, so your predictions of doom seem unlikely.

And when have I ever claimed that Africa is a monolithic group? I constantly emphasizes how they have the most genetic diversity. But like the article points out this is not due to recent selection. Its mostly junk DNA.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Very intelligent humans may reevolve. But they may not be able to build to the same level we have due to resource limitations.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Love to see the experimental protocol for that one.
If this is environmental its probably so complex we would need several % of GDP for several decades on end to figure out and implement a plan to uplift Blacks to White levels, Whites to Asian levels and eventually preferably everyone to Jewish levels.
Why would a nation like Japan or Finland want to pick up such a burden by allowing third world immigration?
If I'm right and its genetic we are just one retrovirus away from jumping two standard deviations up on global average IQ and consequently near utopian standards of living in a few decades.Last edited by Heraclitus; July 21, 2010, 11:46.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”

Whatever. I'm not bothering with this anymore. You guys have eyes but won't see. In 10 years time about 50% of you will agree with what I'm saying right now and in 50 years time those that are still alive and will still hold these beliefs will be about as relevant as creationists are today.Modern man calls walking more quickly in the same direction down the same road “change.”
