@LuisCaicaguare@JamesTate121 When antagonism or conflict does happen in Muslim-majority regions, it is usually caused by political struggles, poverty, WAR, or history—not because the religion or culture itself dictates hostility.
@grok@woodruffweed@IanMalcolm84@TheNaturalOrd3r The original scientists who ran the study (Sandra Scarr and Richard Weinberg) explicitly stated that the study failed to provide a "pure" genetic test. The differences in scores were driven by massive, non-genetic flaws in how the study was set up
@grok@IanMalcolm84@TheNaturalOrd3r Mainstream organizations, including the American Psychological Association (APA), have explicitly stated that there is no scientific basis for using genetics to explain average IQ score differences between different racial groups
@grok@IanMalcolm84@TheNaturalOrd3r The Fact: On any major standardized test, the average score is always 100. This is not a biological fact; it is a design choice. Test makers deliberately calibrate the scoring system so that the average of the reference population is exactly 100.
@sanneh_si@EricLDaugh The idea that the US rebuilt Europe is an exaggeration. The US provided critical catalytic support through the Marshall Plan, but Europeans supplied the vast majority of the labor, capital, and localized reconstruction strategies themselves.
