    Government policies can't be based on averages, because all groups contain individuals with extreme IQ's, high and low. Race tells you nothing about an individual.

    Data supporting racism doesn't make it okay to be a racist.

    It isn't the job of public education to tell everyone that they have to be average for their demographic group, or that they should judge everyone by their demographic group averages. Fuck that.

    Why not acknowledge the facts regarding these matters so that we can make informed decisions? You literally just want to be willfully ignorant. So many people want to remain willfully ignorant.

    Is it a good thing that black people will feel oppressed until their incomes are equal to whites and asians? What good can come of this?

    Is it good that overqualified asians are turned away from good universities on the basis of affirmative action?

    Is it racist to ask these questions? I advocate equal opportunity at every. single. turn. but you will find what most people are advocating is equal results. Inequality is chalked up to white oppression on a regular basis. We are still dealing with it constantly. Nevermind Asians are economically superior to white people on average.

    In our quest to prevent hurt feelings, we continually suppress facts. This project is every bit as sustainable as our national debt.

    Now you are projecting things on me because I disagree with you.

    You don't need a nazi tattoo Nerd. You strut around and crow like a cock but it is not hens that will extend your progeny. In other words your words don't pick up chicks. You are a still born and not reproductively viable and will not advance on the intellectual stage of our species. You may reflect on that as it relates to your obvious reception on this board and in lieu of your further efforts.

    onset of puberty in women can be caused by starvation like pot that is forced to bloom due to lack of light

    the onset of puberty in boys is difficult to determine so no reliable statistics on that

    I've had some very attractive girls latch onto me like a sloth when it was pullout time. They wanted the D and they wanted the C. I'm not the least bit worried about picking up chicks bro.

    You didn't pick them up with this rap buddy. I am concerned about you maybe reproducing and bringing us all into peril on the intellectual empirical feedback loop.
    What is the D and the C?

    Can't be fixed. Not my problem, or yours. People will feel however they want to feel.

    Aside form the subject some people don't know what to feel or know they have a choice in how they feel. I hear much people not liking the way they feel so wanting in many instances may not be a definite factor. It is something however we do with feelers. So in this instance we could stand some education on how to use the senses or what they are for.

    I haven't the foggiest idea what my "IQ" is. Does IQ indicate reasonable intelligence?

    Until they embrace reason, but indeed how does one reason another into reasoning.

    The trouble is, many intelligent people with more than enough brain power to reason effectively have been swept up into this idea that if we just believe hard enough, for long enough, that we're all genetically capable to the same degree, it will come to fruition. If Asian guys just hold onto their dreams of being equally represented in the NBA it will come to pass. If black guys keep hoping and praying to be philosophers and physicists and engineers in large numbers (which... they don't), it will be a self fulfilling prophecy.

    This is alchemy vs. chemistry. There are solution oriented approaches to every problem. That's chemistry. Then there's change we can believe in, and HOPE, that's alchemy. You get a huge dopamine rush for as long as you can convince yourself that you're on the path to discovering free gold.

    'g' or general intelligence is essentially just the ability to solve complex problems. To follow certain trains of thought ALLLLLLL the way to their logical conclusions. To plan ahead and not be so vulnerable to one's moment to moment impulses.

    Intelligence, General, is the ability to learn or understand things or to deal with new or difficult situations. Has nothing to do with logical conclusions or controlling ones impulses.

    Another abstract ass hat posing. Your trouble is the result of your reasoning.

    I could teach you how to reason soundly.

    For example you loose reason when you extend your theories to prognostication, or what will happen. You may reasonably examine what does happen.

    So on your theory that the lowering of over all IQ scores is a detriment to our societal progression in unfounded when considering the fact that intelligence, not IQ numbers, is responsive to new or difficult situations. That is it is diversity that insures our survival.

    Does any quantifiable data back up that statement? By what measures have societies improved by mixing ethnic groups? Crime rates? More freedom of speech? Less welfare recipients? Better healthcare? Which standards of living improve with more diversity? Bring some evidence with your claim.
