Ashli Babbitt RIP

In many ways, Q (Qanon=fake news) was countering and pacifying the Alt Right’s white nationalism and “race supremacism” reaction to the Left’s POWER is in racism antics.

Now that people want to get off the hopium, they now choose the Amren (alt right) black pill. Q was and is a multi national, multi patriotic, world wide movement. That somehow converged with T Red’s conservative movement. Just like the ALt Right although from another direction.

Interesting.

TJ and Zaph, can anyone here help out Om from their mental and emotional breakdown? I am skipping past them to adhere to my own banishment execution, so I can’t do much about it now.

Context is a useful thing: “suburban white folks” started this contention. As it played out it seemed that one must not question whether “white” added value to the argument. The important thing is not to question the authority?

As to your comment at 3:51, that ground has been well plowed by many on this blog.

“And when I write ‘race doesn’t exist,’ I mean exists as a cultural, psychological, historical, societal reality. Race from a scientific/biological perspective is, of course, a bunch of bunk.”

I’ll defend the third part of my trichotomy. Namely, race matters to strongly genetically driven characteristics like genetic diseases, eg, Tay Sacks among Jews; Sickle Cell Anemia among black people.

And it matters with IQ and criminal behavior. The Twins Raised Apart study at the University of Minnesota is the source of science, that is the behavioural genetics, that got Charles Murray into trouble in the mid-1990s (and almost ever since).p, in “The Bell Curve.”

But my classmate’s father, David T. Lykken, founded and led this study to re-do earlier efforts only longer, deeper, with better assessment tools. And the longitudinal study goes on, studying twins raised apart over most of their lives. (Hence my interest is longstanding.)

The key finding is this. Human inborn traits correlate between 0.2 (low) and 0.8 (high). When the twins raised apart research reached 100 subjects, the IQ positive (criminality negative) correlation was 0.7 — which is unusually high.

That was what Murray’s “The Bell Curve” reported on two pages of one very long book. Those were their findings at around 1990.

When the study reached 400 subjects, the correlation had increased to 0.78.

Somehow, when co-investigator Nancy [last name] published a general study with Harvard University Press (2008 or 9, I think), the settled correlation reported was 0.75.

Another finding is that IQ varies among classically defined races, and that these results are stable through the decades measuring this trait. And that this cardinal ordering — Sephardic Jew, East Asian, White, black, native or aboriginal — as we’ve seen reported in the past remains with us today.

Finally, it is worth adding that EVERY human emotional trait also exhibits some (ie, more or less) genetic loading (or determination).

This, therefore, constitutes an omnipresent noise among humans wherever we hope to find reasonableness.

Thus for me, race matters sometimes and in some ways — but not others. Sweeping generalisations only muddy the truth.

Confusion is understandable. But conflation or dissimulation about the evidence ought not to be excused.

As of right now (10:11 PST) the Federal Reg. has not received any Biden EO’s

“Another executive order issued Wednesday night will extend existing federal nondiscrimination protections to LGBTQ people. ”

This story is conflating Executive Actions with Executive Orders. They are not the same.

Perhaps you meant to address another commenter?
