36 Responses to “52 Genes Linked To Human Intelligence”

    • Zero. After all, Vox is one of many “little Pravda’s” charged with spreading the Cathedral party line. That said I did find the article about Harris’ inteview with Murray interesting and am now going to actually listen to it even though I gave up wasting time on things like podcasts years ago. I realize that before I comment I should probably listen to the podcast but I’m going to go ahead and make the assumption that Murray is not a complete idiot and that thus there are a lot of strawmen in the Vox piece. The article is also valuable in elucidating some of the ways the Poz maintains its scientific orthodoxies in the face of a rising tide of hatefacts. So they start off with:

      Heritability is not unique to IQ; in fact, virtually all differences among individual human beings are somewhat heritable. Pairs of identical twins are more likely to be similar not only in height and weight and skin color compared with fraternal twins, but also in their marital status, their political views, and TV-watching habits.

      This point is even restated later…

      To say that intelligence is heritable means that, in general, people who are more similar genetically are also more similar in their IQ. Identical twins, who share all their DNA, have more similar IQs than fraternal twins or siblings, who only share half. Half-siblings’ IQs are even less similar than that; cousins, still less.

      They also place the following as a fact supported by current science though they put it at the bottom of their list of accepted knowledge:

      4) Discoveries about genetic ancestry have validated commonly used racial groupings.

      Of course now it’s time to invoke the fuzzy “social constructs” of folk race wisdom to blunt the impact of these things.

      Our lay concept of race is a social construct that has been laid on top of these vastly more complex biological realities. That is not to say that socially defined race is meaningless or useless. (Modern genomics can do a good job of determining where in Central Europe or Western Africa your ancestors resided.)

      Good, this is part of the strategy – admit that your opponent has a point and concede the parts of the truth that have become obvious so as to seem reasonable and open minded. Then, however, we unleash the strawman army:

      The new DNA-based science has also led to an ironic discovery: Virtually none of the complex human qualities that have been shown to be heritable are associated with a single determinative gene! There are no “genes for” IQ in any but the very weakest sense.

      Is this really what Murray believes? that we are looking for or have found some one “gene for IQ”? Again, I haven’t listened to the podcast but this is part of where I give Murray the benefit of the doubt that he is not an imbecile.

      It can also help to befuddle the reader about the very nature of science:

      Murray makes a rhetorical move that is commonly deployed by people supporting his point of view: They stake out the claim that at least some of the difference between racial groups is genetic, and challenge us to defend the claim that none, absolutely zero, of it is. They know that science is not designed for proving absolute negatives, but we will go this far: There is currently no reason at all to think that any significant portion of the IQ differences among socially defined racial groups is genetic in origin.

      Yeah, Science Bitches!

      Except that actually, science is about disproving the null hypothesis, which in this case is that there is NO genetic difference between “socially defined racial groups”. This last bit is also a little sleight of hand as we substitute the less reliable social races for the much better delineated ones you can define using gene groups. As I showed above the authors themselves even admit that:

      Modern genomics can do a good job of determining where in Central Europe or Western Africa your ancestors resided.

      and now a minstrel show with more strawmen:

      However, a willingness to speak casually about modern racial groupings as simplifications of the ancient and turbulent history of human ancestry should not deceive us into conjuring back into existence 19th-century notions of race — Caucasoid, Negroid, Mongoloid, and all that.

      So again, we’re asked to imagine Murray as one of those 19th century cartoonists drawing exaggerated pictures of Negroes with giant lips and Chinamen whose eyes are squinted closed. Really? I would agree that if this is what Murray believes then he’s not worth considering. The fact that the authors (academics) took the time to refute him though suggests that his real position is a bit different. How many articles in Physics Today are devoted to refuting flat earthers?

      There’s also some other liberal chicanery on display such as just carrying the discussion off on useless tangents. You see this in the discussion of the Flynn Effect and that poverty lowers IQ. Neither of these effects is surprising (both likely due to better nutrition, fewer brain damaging childhood diseases and just more practice taking IQ tests in the case of Flynn) and neither addresses evidence that controls for these things still showing a “racial” effect.

      The authors last section is actually entitled “A common fallacy: Murray is disliked by liberals (and especially college students); therefore he must be right on the facts”. I found this a bit curious and even funny – “a common fallacy”? Amongst whom? Certainly not media, college kids, or (dishonest mainstream) academics. It’s almost like the authors know in their hearts that liberals are so often wrong about more or less everything that it’s a good heuristic if you want to be correct (if not popular) to assume that the truth is pretty much the opposite of what they believe on any topic!

      The 52 genes that CH references are most assuredly not “social constructs” though and it will be interesting and probably, for devoted Pozmen and Pozwomen terrifying, to discover how this gene cluster relates to the ones that define ancestry (and are at the root of our folk wisdom about “races”)

    Reading the article about the older European ancestor, could the first white humans have simply evolved first? Our racial cousins are simply a few thousand or million years behind. Colonialism starts to make a lot more sense with guiding European benevolence lifting up those races trying to catch up.

    Also helps explain why Euro states are needed. The primitive hatred of the more evolved makes sense as a survival strategy. We must protect ourselves by separation at the national level.

    I always thought the chest-pounding of shitskins over the Out O’ Africa stuff was just so much folderol, especially the “we wuz first” false pride..

    Because when you really think about it, if’n they truly “wuz first”, that should have given them a leg-up on this whole evolution thing, amirite?

    Yet even a one-eyed man could tell that, as a race, they were a whole lot less developed in diverse beauty and intelligence.

    I think when looking objectively at the races of the world, it makes sense to imagine that the various evolution paths of each were diverse enough and long enough ago to make any question of who was first immaterial.

    I’m hoping Whites don’t now play into their frame and act like being first is some sort of significant bragging right.

    Hell, if there was no such thing as a blue-eyed blonde or green-eyed redhead until 10000 B.C., what does it mean? We’re here now, and are the Gold Standard of both beauty and brains.

        (((shakin’ mah haid)))

        We’ve been over this territory many times in the past… Man’s definition of what words like “perfect”, “omnipotent”, and “omniscient” SHOULD mean, in relation to God’s characteristics, are not even in the same realm as what the One True God actually entails, and the rules of the various microcosms He Himself set forth.

        Free will alone tells us these things, and what may start out as perfect can be corrupted by the perfect being himself. This is the power and majesty and danger and true cause of interest of such a creation as Free Will.

        But you, as a mere man, are going to say “Well, then this isn’t PERFECT, so there!” with a neener-neener?

        (((shakin’ mah haid)))

        The fellow who mentioned watching a drama unfold rather than merely staring at a static painting made a fine analogy… humans themselves would be bored by the latter, and God made creation for His enjoyment and interest.

        It’s statements like that of our jonesy that give true meaning to the Scripture:

        “As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

    I’ve been thinking about this for some time, and I’m no longer convinced that “Intelligence” is the marker that leads to progress, but rather a completely separate marker: “I want to see you succeed”.

    Most of mankind does not possess this marker. “I want to see you fail” is common, as is “I want to have what you have”. But selfless help-you-out-ism is unheard of throughout most of our species.

    Why do I think Intelligence is not the true marker of success? Because I’ve met too many very smart people who wouldn’t lift a finger to help another person. Anecdotal evidence, obviously, but I’ve known people who would rather fail themselves than accidentally allow someone else to succeed by their efforts. These people were not “badwhites”.

    There’s something special in working as a group to achieve success. Every voice may contain wisdom, provided every voice wishes to see ultimate success for the group. If the group is comprised of people who need to see their neighbors fail, that they may by comparison FEEL successful, then those voices can’t be trusted to be helpful.

    I’ve read numerous studies that state matter-of-factly that jews and asians are more intelligent than white people, yet I wouldn’t want to live in ANY of the nations dominated by them. Because their nations suck. They’re awful places full of awful people.

    I’m thinking altruism is the marker (I could be wrong), but really the marker should be “not-a-sociopath”.

    You don’t need the smartest people on earth to create a good society, you only need all members to want, at a genetic level, their own neighbors to succeed. Then they’ll help without the need for compulsion.

    True success will be that, plus guardedness against outsiders. I don’t know what to call that combination.

The other is to bring a gun to the race and shoot all the other runners in the foot. Now sporting events have judges and in this case, police to prevent that kind of thing. Evolution doesn’t know the difference and doesn’t give a fuck. All it sees is the winner. The (((Tribe))) combines slightly better than 100 average IQ (the white N. American norm) with a strong willingness to sabotage non-tribesmen. Owing to the fact that they have become specialized as parasites (with a large symbiotic role though) in many other societies this is, overall, devastatingly disruptive. Asians are less interested in sabotaging outsiders than in building walls to keep them out. The Chinese, after all built the first “Trumpenmauer” in history thousands of years ago. Owing to the fact that Asian societies even today, including the Big One I just mentioned, remain isolationist and xenophobic, I would say this is another factor in favor of China and its satellites becoming dominant and the West continuing its decay into a third-world-ized shithole.
