Largest salamander in the US. My views do not necessarily reflect those of my habitat or the government agencies that aid in my conservation. Pronouns it/it

@Steve_Sailer @whstancil In the original chart, the gap is around 28 (77 to 105), and in your chart it is 17 (83 to 100). That’s a pretty significant narrowing!

@feelsdesperate Amazing that one group stoked a bullshit moral panic about nonexistent “hundreds of unmarked graves,” and the other group imprecisely used the term “mass graves” to refer to “hundreds of unmarked graves,” and the conclusion is that the *latter* group spread misinformation

@Aegis404 @cafreiman I barely know who this guy is and from what I know I don’t really like him. I just don’t think it’s inconsistent to advocate for higher taxes on the wealthy while also buying expensive stuff

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett 1. Introducing a new clause about IQ does in fact change the hypothesis
2. I have expressed no opinion on IQ in this thread at all so I have no idea where you’re getting that from.

I’m starting to think that you are as dumb as you *think* black people are

[Hellbender @HappyHellbender]

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett This is a different hypothesis than you stated before.

[Hellbender @HappyHellbender]

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett If we accept that premise, then your hypothesis is tautological.

[Hellbender @HappyHellbender]

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett Because your initial hypothesis was “Nigerians get paid more because they have higher ability” and now you’re using a circular argument to say that ability can be measured by pay

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett Yes, I’m sure slavery had no impact on black American culture.

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett - Cultural differences
- Different interests (i.e. two people with equal talent for music but one of them is more interested in, say, finance)
- Class differences caused by *historical* racism

I reject your trichotomy

[Hellbender @HappyHellbender]

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett (Also, I reject the false trichotomy that differences in outcome are caused by genetics, racism, or nepotism)

[Hellbender @HappyHellbender]

@PsyopPartaker @besttrousers @st_louis_stan @wanyeburkett This discussion is about whether Sailer’s specific causal claims are backed up by data or not.

@nsarwark @brian_callaci I guess the ways in which cooperatives are disfavored by regulations

@dhfrc27qpk @JohnWittle @ZyMazza @ESYudkowsky @theo_seeds As far as we know, it would take an infinite amount of energy to accelerate something with mass to the speed of light, and time dilation gets very weird as one were to approach the speed of light. Folk physics + logic won’t get you far when reasoning about actual physics
