Why do stormniggers flock to the most simplistic "explanation" when asked about any historical incident?

They're very stupid. They can only grasp simple ideas, and usually only one of those at a time.

>>3204731
That's not exclusive to stormniggers. An easy explanation makes it easier to tell yourself you're an expert on the subject. And defending an easy yet shitty explanations gives you a a bigger ego boost compared to the amount of work you have to put in than what a proper explanation would do.

>>3204731
Because Occam's razor.

And because its true. Why else can't you prove them wrong.

>detroit was ruined because niggers

Pretty much undeniable. Genes are the best explanation.

Please, please try your hardest to explain why muh based blacks aren't the main cause of Detroit. Every single living organisms is influenced by genes, except for humans because we're special.

>third world countries are poor because they're shitskin

Also undeniable. Genetic explanation are 100x more effective then any retarded /his/ explanation that can easily be proven wrong by other examples. Wow, who knew the genes of a population can affect a country. Moreover, genetic explanations are not what I would call simple.

Why are historians such gene deniers.

Of course they are.

Socioeconomic and politics are nothing more genes masked as environmental effect. We know that a person's politics and socioeconomic position are heavily influenced by genes. Humans are biological creatures, and like every biological creatures, we are all genetic construct. Why do you think even bacteria show behavioral differences?

You can't understand socioeconomics and politics if you don't understand genetics, but hey, you're social scientist, you are 20 years behind the current understanding of genetics!

Well of course we won't acknowledge it, because its false. Furthermore, only leftists believe that white people are superior,which is why they shame whites to undermine this perceived "superiority". Only we understand that white people are better, but not superior.

>Before the ghetto riot of 1967, Detroit's black population had the highest rate of home-ownership of any black urban population in the country, and their unemployment rate was just 3.4 percent. It was not despair that fueled the riot. It was the riot which marked the beginning of the decline of Detroit to its current state of despair. Detroit's population today is only half of what it once was, and its most productive people have been the ones who fled.[21] [Note: In Origins of the Urban Crisis, Thomas Sugrue states that over 20% of Detroit's adult black population in the 1950s and 1960s was out of work, along with 30% of black youth between eighteen and twenty-four] [25]

>1.The population of the city has fallen from a high of 1,850,000 in 1950 to 677,116 in 2015

Gee why did it fall? Oh that's right muh based black man, its cause of blacks. Blacks behave more criminality which lead to white flight. Genetic preference for kin also contributed to racial segregation, resulting in race riots that led to white fleeing. IQ predicts income. Whites have a higher IQ. Whites earn higher salary. They leave. Detroits loses its income base. Low IQ blacks start occupying the city. Low IQ blacks start voting for black politician who are not cognitive able to create first world countries. Black politicians start doing what they do in Africa. Detroit sees spike in criminality, corruption, and further population loses. Wow, look at all those things that wouldn't have happened without blacks.

>2.The automobile industry left, and with it left lots of jobs.

And yet, there is a white city right next to Detroit that's doing just fine. There's numerous white cities that also loss their jobs but didn't experience the complete failure of Detroit. Interestingly, Detroit has more in common with Camden, East St Louis, New Orleans, then it does with closer rust belt cities. Why oh why. They have nothing in common with each other as except for its racial demographics. What a mystery. The problem is blacks.

>3.Riots of 1943, this was the tipping point that drove everyone piss poor.

Caused by blacks.

>4.finished off by the 1973 recession

And the entire US isn't detroit, which also got hit by that.

ISo, judging from your post. Blacks are the problem, and if blacks were never part of the picture, what happened in Detroit would have never happened.

Psychological domains traditionally focused on individual differences are those that have been studied most frequently with genetically sensitive designs, primarily
the twin method in which resemblance is compared in pairs of identical and fraternal twins: cognitive abilities and disabilities, psychopathology, personality, substance
use and abuse, and health psychology. Traits in these domains have consistently shown significant genetic influence in adequately powered studies

Although ubiquitous genetic influence is now widely accepted, this finding should not be taken for granted because it was a battleground in psychology as recently as a few decades ago
(Pinker, 2002) and remains controversial in some areas such as education

As an example, a review of the world’s literature on intelligence that included 10,000 pairs of twins showed identical twins to be significantly more similar than fraternal twins (twin correlations of about .85 and .60, respec-
tively), with corroborating results from family and adoption studies, implying significant genetic influence. We are not aware of a single adequately powered study reporting nonsignificant heritability.

Traits such as political beliefs, religiosity,
altruism, and food preferences also have shown significant genetic influence (Plomin et al., 2013). A recent meta-analysis of data drawn from 3,000 publications on nearly 18,000 traits of 15 million twin pairs showed that this finding is not limited to psychological traits

Significant and substantial genetic influence on individual differences in psychological traits is so widespread that we are unable to name an exception. The challenge now is to find any reliably measured behavioral trait for
which genetic influence is not significantly different from zero in more than one adequately powered study.
>>
>>3205043
tl;dr Since all psychological traits show significant genetic influence, it is very likely, that such traits carry over into population differences. Psychological traits among different ethnicity may simple be the result of different genes these populations carry.

>>3205042
Yes, because when people want comforting explanation, they embrace genetic ones. The ones that almost say "you can't help it". Not the environmental one where you can pretend racial equality and you can just magical make up an explanation, oh no, that's too distressing. Genetic explanations are so simple for simple people.

No traits are 100% heritable

>Again, we are unable to find any excep-
tion in which the heritability of a behavioral trait is near 100%. However, this is not a limitation of the methods, because some traits, such as individual differences in
height, yield heritability as high as 90%. It should be noted that behavioral traits are less reliably measured than physical traits such as height, and error of measurement contrib-
utes to nonheritable variance.

>Although this finding might seem obvious and unsurprising, it is crucial because it provides the strongest available evidence for the importance of environmental influence after controlling for genetic influence.

>Because genetic influence is significant and substantial, one must control for genetic influence when investigating environmental influence. Environmental research using genetically sensitive designs has led to three of the most important discoveries about the way the environment
affects behavioral development

tl;dr no shit no trait is 100% heritable. But what most environmentalist don't appreciate is that many "environmental effect" are heavily influenced by genetics, because genes dominate although all factors are intertwined. Which is what I have been talking about. You can't understand history without taking genes into consideration.

Heritability is caused by many genes of small effect

https://www.gwern.net/docs/genetics/2016-plomin.pdf

Powerful but overlooked evidence that many genes affect complex traits including behavior comes from selection studies in nonhuman animal research. If only a few genes were responsible for the heritability of a trait,
selected lines would separate after a few generations and would not diverge any further in later generations. In contrast, selection studies of complex traits show a linear
response to selection even after dozens of generations of selection, as seen, for example (Fig. 1), in one of the largest and longest selection studies of behavior that included
replicate selected and control lines

Although GWA studies have limited power to detect such minuscule effects even with samples in the tens or hundreds of thou-
sands, these studies have tremendous power to detect larger effects (M. R. Robinson, Wray, & Visscher, 2014).
For example, a GWA study of 20,000 individuals has 99.9% power to detect an association with an effect size
that accounts for 1% of the variance (i.e., a correlation of .10). This suggests that no such associations exist with effect sizes larger than 1% in the population. Some
extremely rare mutations have large effects on individuals, but because they are rare, their effect on the population is small. If the largest effects are so small, the smallest effects are likely to be infinitesimal, which implies that
heritability is caused by many genes of small effect

tl;dr complex traits tend to be influenced by many many genes.

Phenotypic correlations between psychological traits show significant and substantial genetic
mediation

Few of the thousands of reported correlations between traits such as these have been studied with genetically sensitive designs. However, when genetically informed designs are used, research consistently points to a finding with far-reaching implications: Phenotypic covariance between traits is significantly and substantially caused by genetic covariance, not just environmentally driven covariance (!!!)

Cognitive abilities have been studied most systematically from a multivariate genetic perspective. This research consistently shows that the phenotypic correlations among cognitive abilities are mediated significantly
and substantially by genetic factors called
generalist genes(Plomin & Kovas, 2005). For example, a multivariate genetic analysis of intelligence, reading, mathematics, and language in over 5,000 pairs of 12-year-old twins showed that genetic factors consistently accounted for more than half of the phenotypic correlations, ranging from 53% to 65%, with a mean of 61% and a mean 95% confidence interval of between
53% and 67% (O. S. P. Davis, Haworth, & Plomin, 2009).

These findings have received support from multivariate GCTA (Trzaskowski et al., 2013). One implication of this finding is that the phenotypic structure of domains is similar to their genetic structure, as has been shown, for
example, for cognitive abilities (Petrill, 1997) and personality (Turkheimer et al., 2014).

tl;dr IQ tests really are measuring what they are supposed to measure.

>>3205091
The heritability of
intelligence increases throughout
development

Although the effects of experiences could be reasonably expected to accumulate as
time goes by (as some developmental theorists propose, , the heritability of
intelligence has been shown consistently to increase linearly throughout the life course in more than three decades of research. An analysis of cross-sectional data for
11,000 pairs of twins—larger than all previous twin studies combined—showed that the heritability of intelligence increases significantly from 41% in childhood (age
9) to 55% in adolescence (age 12) and to 66% in young adulthood (age 17; Haworth et al., 2010). The nonoverlapping standard errors in Figure 3 suggest that the increases in heritability across the three ages are significant, and model fitting confirmed that the increases are significant. A meta-analysis of results from longitudinal twin and adoption studies also showed increases in heritability from infancy through adolescence (Briley &
Tucker-Drob, 2013). Some evidence suggests that heritability might increase to as much as 80% in later adulthood independent of dementia (Panizzon et al., 2014); other
results suggest a decline to about 60% after age 80

Why does heritability of intelligence increase throughout development? Increasing heritability could be due to new genetic influences coming online, a process called innovation, which would seem reasonable given the changes in brain structure and function that occur during
development. However, the next finding, about age-to-age genetic stability, suggests a less obvious reason for the developmental increase in heritability.

Number 6

Age-to-age stability is mainly due to genetics
Longitudinal genetic studies consistently show that phenotypic correlations from age to age are largely due to genetic stability. In other words, genetic effects contribute to continuity (the same genes affect the trait across
age), whereas age-to-age change is primarily the provenance of environmental factors

For intelligence, similar results have been found, for example, in a meta-analysis of 15 longitudinal studies (Tucker-Drob & Briley, 2014). This finding creates an
apparent paradox: How can the heritability of intelligence increase so substantially throughout development if genetic effects are stable? That is, how can the same genes largely affect intelligence across the life course and yet account for more variance as time goes by? Increasing heritability despite genetic stability implies some contribution from what has been called genetic amplification
(Plomin & DeFries, 1985). In other words, genetic nudges early in development are magnified as time goes by, increasing heritability, but the same genetic propensities
continue to affect behavior throughout the life course.

This amplification model has recently been supported in a meta-analysis of 11,500 twin and sibling pairs with longitudinal data on intelligence, which showed that a genetic amplification model fit the data better than a model in which new genetic influences arise across time (Briley & Tucker-Drob, 2013). Genotype-environment correlation seems the most likely explanation in which
small genetic differences are amplified as children select, modify, and create environments correlated with their genetic propensities

NUMBER 7

Most measures of the
“environment” show significant
genetic influence (!!!)

Although it might seem a peculiar thing to do, measures of the environment widely used in psychological science—such as parenting, social support, and life events—can be treated as dependent measures in genetic analyses.
If they are truly measures of the environment, they should not show genetic influence. To the contrary, in 1991, Plomin and Bergeman conducted a review of the first 18 studies in which environmental measures were used as
dependent measures in genetically sensitive designs and found evidence for genetic influence for these measures of the environment. Significant genetic influence was found for objective measures such as videotaped observations of parenting

The reason appears to be that such measures do not assess the environment independent of the person. As noted earlier, humans select, modify, and create environments correlated with their genetic behavioral propensities such as personality and psychopathology.
>>
>>3205130
For example, in studies of twin children, parenting has been found to reflect genetic differences in children’s characteristics such as personality and psychopathology.
Since 1991, more than 150 articles have been pub-lished in which environmental measures were used in genetically sensitive designs; they have shown consistently that there is significant genetic influence on environmental measures, extending the findings from family environments to neighborhood, school, and work environments. Kendler and Baker (2007) conducted a review of 55 independent genetic studies and found an average heritability of 0.27 across 35 diverse environmental measures. Meta-analyses
of parenting, the most frequently studied domain, have shown genetic influence that is driven by child character. Some exceptions have emerged. Researchers can use GCTA to assess genetic influence on family environments such as SES that differ between families, not within families. GCTA has been used to show genetic influence on family SES (Trzaskowski et al., 2014) and an index of
social deprivation.

tl;dr Oh look at that, SES (a objective means of measuring socioeconomics) is heavily influenced by genetics, but the idea that socioeconomic is not influenced by genetics is somehow wrong here. Hm.
>>
>>3205135
NUMBER 8

Most associations between environmental measures and psychological traits are significantly mediated genetically

If genetic factors affect environmental measures as well as behavioral measures, it is reasonable to ask the extent to which associations between environmental measures and behavioral measures are mediated genetically. For
example, rather than assuming that correlations between parenting and children’s behavior are caused by the environmental effect of parenting on children’s behavior, one should consider the possibility that the correlation is in part due to genetic factors that influence both parenting
and children’s behavior. Individual differences in parenting might reflect genetically driven differences in children’s behavior or differences in parenting might be due to genetically driven propensities of parents that are inherited directly by their children.

Disentangling genetic and environmental influences on correlations between environmental and behavioral measures is important for three reasons. First, if these
correlations are mediated genetically, interpretations that assume environmental causation are wrong, which has
important implications for intervention. Second, genetically sensitive designs can be used to identify causal effects of the environment free of genetic confound
(Marceau et al., 2015). Third, genetic mediation of the association between environmental measures and behavioral traits is not just a nuisance that needs to be controlled. It suggests a general way of thinking about how genotypes develop into phenotypes, from a passive model of imposed environments to an active model of
shaped experiences in which humans select, modify, and create experiences in part based on their genetic propensities

tl;dr genes are not passive. They cannot be ignored.

>>3205144

NUMBER 9

Most environmental effects are not shared by children growing up in the same family

It is reasonable to think that growing up in the same family makes brothers and sisters similar psychologically, which is what developmental theorists from Freud
onwards have assumed. However, for most behavioral dimensions and disorders, it is genetics that accounts for similarity among siblings. Although environmental effects
have a major impact (see Finding 2), the salient environmental influences do not make siblings
growing up in the same family similar. The message is not that family experiences are unimportant but rather that the relevant expe-
riences are specific to each child in the family. This finding was ignored when it was first noted (Loehlin & Nichols, 1976) and controversial when it was first highlighted (Plomin & Daniels, 1987a, 1987b), but it is now
widely accepted because it has consistently replicated

It seems likely that nonshared environmental effects are due to many experiences of small effect, analogous to Finding 3 (“Heritability is caused by many genes of small
effect”). That is, rather than asking whether a monolithic factor like parental control is primarily responsible for nonshared effects, it might be necessary to consider many seemingly inconsequential experiences that are tipping points in children’s lives.

However, the basic finding that most environmental effects are not shared by chil-
dren growing up in the same family remains one of the most far-reaching findings from behavioral genetics. It is important to reiterate that the message is not that family experiences are unimportant but rather that the salient
experiences that affect children’s development are specific to each child in the family, not general to all children in the family.

>>
>>3205189
But it's not wrong. The only reason you have a personality is because of genes. Every thing that makes up your personality is the interaction between your genes and environment.
>>
>>3205166
And genes, which has the strongest influence over personality, way more then environment and experience which these people never seem to define.

For example, many book worms CHOOSE to read books. Their genes influenced their behavior which influences their environment, because their personality is what makes them choose what they like, what friends they want, who they interact, in turn, the personality chooses environmental factors that in turn, influences him (person gets better at reading, has better vocabulary, starts doing better at school).

If a person is smart, but hates reading, then he will make different decisions due to his personality, which is influenced by his genes. That means, his genes influence his environment, which in turn influence him. It's why many programs aimed at inner city tends to fail. They can force them to read, but the moment the program drops, they revert back to their natural behavior, because that's who they are.

I posted an article showing you why race is of taxonomical importance. You're not gonna read it, because you're a resentful piece of leftists who is not here to engage logically.

Human traits are SIGNIFICANTLY influenced by genetics. Not a little. Not irrelevant. At least 30-50% at minimum, but many traits go as high as 85%, like IQ. Now, given that we know races differ in IQ, then we can probably guess that they differ in many other traits. These average differences in trait among population can go a long way into explaining why certain countries ended up the way they did. I don't care if you disagree. In the end, saying race doesn't exist is meaningless because population exists, and they will differ. Also, why are you saying nigger so much? You trying to fit in? Are you that same faggot on /sci/?

Oh okay, because you somehow understand "statistically significant", you think that its wrong to say that genes heavily influence personality because "statistically significant doesn't mean that!" except, if you paid attention, you would see that the high heritablity of some of these findings and their implications are why people can say "genes are heavily influenced by personality". Are you now going to say "just because a trait is 85% heritable doesn't mean that the gene is 85% responsible for it, because heritablity just means variance, lol I got you now!"

There is no genetic indicator for being terrified of men in gorilla suits, seeing as how we evolved without gorilla suits. However, when I throughly beat this kid I was babysitting whilst in a gorilla suit, he grew up to be terrified of gorillas, and their grunts and screams (I worked hard to replicate them as I beat the kid).

Now, his personality is risk-avoidant, introverted and he's never been to the zoo. If genes were some magical determinist thing, he'd have sharpened a wooden spear and hunted me with his friends.

No, whites do superficially similarly bad things as blacks. Blacks are orders of magnitude worse. Isn't it funny how you have all these Africans wanting to immigrate to western countries, but almost zero of the reverse?
It's because African countries ARE worse.

My take on it is that stormtards are right that whites are intellectually superior on average to most other races, and that this explains a great deal of whites' success. However, they are wrong in thinking that there is some unified Jewish scheme to control the world, and they are also wrong in thinking that fascism/national socialism are good systems of government (in reality they are shit).

Occam's razor doesn't mean the first random explanation that pops into your mind and seems right to you is the simplest, and anything that strikes you as less likely is more complex.

Occam's razor only works, was only ever intended to work, if you know every single possible answer to a question, which is why it doesn't work in contexts like this, because situations involving the real world have too many variables, factors and influences, both known and unknown. You're not even realising that to actually tackle this question with Occam's razor you'd need to dig through and whittle down a near infinity of possibilities and combinations of various factors in different proportions, most of which you won't even think of.

It's also retarded how people, after trying to reduce this kind of issue as a binary, actually convince themselves that they've justified their sociological opinion as 'simpler' and that's that. Someone with even moderate intelligence can usually phrase the opposite of what they're saying as simpler.
>>
>>3209883
Continued because you're that dense that it takes this long to work through the nonsense of your arguement

Take what you're doing. Your basic logic is its either nature(genes) or nurture(environment) which, again, is already retarded because they're not mutually exclusive potential factors.

But here's the thing. 'Genes' relies on evidence of innate racial differences in IQ, which is something that has never been proven, is not well supported by science and which there is way less evidence for than the alternative.

That alternative is that environment varies wildly across the globe and provides different opportunities and challenges, resulting in different outcomes. It is an absolute fact that the world is vastly different across it, and that some situations are more amenable to the formation of certain societies.

So option (B) is a potential explanation based on things provably true. Option (A) has some data that is congruous with it(although most of that data can also fit other, contradictory models just as easily, if not more easily) but fundamentally no actual proof

An explanation based on factors that are overwhelmingly proven to be real is by all logic more simple than one based on unproven factors, meaning Occam's razor, in so far as it can be applied to this problem, would work against you when considered outside the context of 'my gut says genes.'

Then there’s the fact that to properly tackle this question based on actual genes and not sociological groups, you need to divide black people into hundreds of distinct groups because of African genetic diversity

No.

When a nigger gets some money they want to move to an area with no black people.They know niggers will just eat away at their wealth,even if they try to put it back into the community,until it is gone.

So when these niggers move to these nice neighborhoods there is still the tendancy to nig even if it skips a generation or two(ie.rich black kids want to tap into their black side,not so much the african heritage but the niggerisms they think are so cute).They bring this nigger attitude and other niggers who just want to be in a civil environment subconciously but dont understand that their actions when multiplied by a whole community arent conducive to such a civil nature so they are constantly searching for virgin pastures to nigger up.....Oh no wait,they let the whiteman build in the frontier and then come in and revert it back to chaos.

This is what white flight is and it wont end until they start knocking at the gates of Jewish manors:"Looks pretty nice in there,say man why dont you let me in im OK im not like these other cats JACK!"

Once it comes down to that this inclusion facade will end and the Jews will cleanse the earth.

The sample sizes used to determine the numbers were insufficient. Moreover, I can understand IQ ranges in Africa being in the range of 80-100, but the average of 70 indicates mental retardation, you simply cannot have massive societies run by mental retards: especially countries like Ethiopia (a currently industrializing economy). The same retards that the West deems incapable in protecting their own self-interests.

Additionally, it places Indians in the 80-85 range, whilst the Indians within the United States currently project the most successful numbers in terms of financial well-being: certainly nowhere near that average.

I also refuse to believe the projection's number of 75 for Qatar, the wealthiest country on the planet in terms of GDP per capita. Albeit, they are an oil economy, they were able to intelligently exploit their resources; this contradicts their apparent near retardation.

Further more, they can't ever accept that blacks are simply less intelligent. 1 it would never be politically expedient to do so. Leftist parties rely heavily on non white votes. Essentially saying blacks are dumber would be a no go.

2. They are blinded by their delusional egalitarian fantasies. Anyone with a brain can see that where ever there is an African diaspora or a population of blacks, there are certain trends that repeat themselves over and over no matter how much gibsmedat they receive.

I don't see anyone here claiming that blacks have equivalent IQ's under an egalitarian ideology.

>Anyone with a brain can see that where ever there is an African diaspora or a population of blacks, there are certain trends that repeat themselves over and over no matter how much gibsmedat they receive

The map shows no data on the sample size of populations tested, not does it show which testing method was used or during what period of time or specific year the testing/data collection was done.

I didn't post the map, but if I wasn't on my phone I could provide sources that for the most part corroborate the implications the map does a poor job of portraying.

It's a taboo these days in the academia worlds of anthropology, genetics, and social sciences to discuss the morphological, environmental, and cultural tendencies that have a great impact on a given population's IQ or cultural development of civilized society, but they are very real and quite distinct, but not in the asinine way of lumping all sub-Saharan Africans, mestizos, europids or mongoloid peoples together into a single grouping for blanket IQ scores.

Just look at the practical applications of forensic criminology or forensic anthropology and you'll see that whether it's PC or not, these distinctions do exist and do involve the realm of critical thinking skills, analytical skils, the skills involved in recognition of spacial/time patterns, and of seemingly utmost importance, the predilection a people have for great ability to think in the abstract. These skills are interestingly influenced by how language develops in a large part through the culture and the moral/ethical code that different societies and populations develop over thousands of years of adaptation to a particular environment, and remember that once culture is created as an adaptation to a specific environment, culture itself becomes an environmental factor that a society will adapt to further.

There's a fantastic article out there about a linguist creating the first English to Zulu dictionary, (at least I think it was Zulu, I'll search for the article and post it if I can find it) and the linguist was fascinated to find out that a lot of words that have to do with abstract thought or thinking in third person (cont)

Welfare creates a culture of dependency. It isn't white people's fault, it is the blacks that voted for the Democrats, thus, deriving revenue, and in some cases fatherhood, from the government.

Why aren't super liberal cities like Seattle or Portland shit holes like Detroit? Asians and Jews are overwhelmingly democrat, why aren't they gibsmedat?

Welfare only exacerbates the problem. It isn't the root.

Asians and Jews weren't 2nd class citizens.

They weren't white ( with all the consequences that brings ) but they weren't niggers either.

Firstly, I am not concocting the argument that being a Democrat translates into yearning welfare. The logistics of which are entirely regional.

Secondly, it is quite fallacious to compare immigrants to niggers. Immigrants overwhelming outperform the natives when it comes to the realm of income. Interestingly, it isn't only Asians or Jews: Nigerians, Ghanaians, Lebanese, etc all fall under this category. Now compare this to American blacks, the very people that lost in Africa leading to their slavery in America, and then subsequently lost in America, created their own distorted culture in which the very brands that make people successful are shunned in the name of anti-assimilation.

I wouldn't compare the two groups. It is especially insulting to African immigrants that do make a living worth respect whilst having to deal with the absurdity of black Americans.

Cont.

The linguist was fascinated to find out that there was no word or translation in the native dialect for abstraction or to think abstractly or in a third person perspective. Words or ideas portaying abstractions like to imagine, have empathy, or self-reflection were not concepts that were prominent enough enough in culture for the native oral dialects to have a specific word for. The linguistic professor also found that time when used in an abstract or imaginative scenario was near impossible to convey in the native oral dialect. This might be a linguistic phenomena thats primarily characteristic in oral languages with no writing. When you think about it, without a written language, how can you orally pass down a word that is representative of a concept that is abstract by nature? How can represent a concept like the time it takes for a lion to count his paws? How do you teach a phrase like "put yourself in someone else's shoes" when this requires an abstract form of thinking that separates a person from their own perspectives and has them imagine the perspective of another person or idea?

The linguist goes on to cite anecdotes from his decades of living and teaching in africa, and how at times it was very difficult to relay an idea or a message that involved an abstract use of time, space, or circumstance. He wrote about a time his car was blocked in his driveway by a group of men parked on the street, and although he politely asked them to move their car so he wouldn't be late to work and they politely agreed to move their car, they didn't seem to understand the abstraction that he needed it moved NOW. They spoke English, but their limited understanding of the language based on their preconceptions derived from their own oral language didn't allow them to understand that he needed the car not only to be moved, but to be moved right away because they didn't understand or recognize the abstract perspective that he needed to go somewhere by a (cont)

You do realize that African immigrants are the cream of the crop compared to the retardation of their native stock right? They are NOT representative of the average African. When you actually stop cherry picking between immigrants and American blacks and look at the big picture, you find their inadequacies are consistent throughout both African and American black populations. Blacks suck. Period.

You seem like the kind of guy that was bullied at an all black school.

The "cream of the crop" argument can be made for all immigrant groups. However, its actually rather impressive to have African immigrants considering the fact that most African countries have appalling literacy rates/educational facilities. Asian countries on the other hand have benefited greatly from Western manufacturing industries setting up facilities within their respective nations.

Nope. But that does happen a lot. Which why integration will never work.

>The "cream of the crop" argument can be made for all immigrant groups.
It's especially notable in this instance considering the majority of Africans are literally retarded by 1st world standards. The immigrants that come here are EXTREME outliers. Asians and Europeans, having starting off from a higher average intelligence already, the deviation isn't that large.
>>
>>3210616
Yes, more or less that is what I'm trying to convey.
Not just the vernacular or semantics involved, but the whole concept of thinking in a perspective that is not one's own or imagining an abstract scenario like a thought experiment can be vastly difficult for someone to understand if the entirety of their vocabulary comes from an orally taught language that has placed no emphasis on the abstract or concise, and entirely new words need to be created or introduced to this oral language in order for the speaker to broaden their understanding of these concepts.

They spoke English, but their limited understanding of the language based on their preconceptions derived from their own oral language didn't allow them to understand that he needed the car not only to be moved, but to be moved right away because they didn't understand or recognize the abstract perspective that he needed to go somewhere by a precise deadline or else his entire schedule would suffer consequences. After explaining to them further that he didn't mean he needed them to move their car in general, but right now, they seemed confused and a little hurt as if he wanted them to go away because he did not like them. He explained that he needed to use his car RIGHT NOW and this was no reflection on these men or their being bad people or bad company, but that he needed to be somewhere by a specific time and if he wasn't, he could not get to the school in time to teach the class. They moved their car at this point and as he was pulling out from his dwelling, they asked why couldn't the class just wait while he joined them in the street for a coffee, and feeling that he was spinning in circles at this point, just told the men that there are many classes that all need to be taught today and everyday at specific times, and there is only so much time in one day for this to be done, and with a polite wave he drove to work.

Obviously, there are Africans across the continent that have lived and adapted to the use of European/arabic languages and time tables generation by generation, so this problem is not as common as it was when the linguist wrote of his time there in the 1980s I believe, but to this day, if you've visited Africa, you will come to be familiar with the term "Africa Time" when asking why people seem to do things in a slow and diligent manner when performing a task rather than adhering to the set time limit they tell you they'll stick with or they are told to adhere to.

I'll try to find the article now so I can stop paraphrasing. I apologize if it's on a stormfag site as supposed evidence of African stupidity, when its a legitimate article about how linguistic characteristics can affect a society's ability to understand foreign concepts

You literally just displayed your ignorance of historical factors whilst ignoring the entirety of my argument.

1) You mention that integration will never work without explaining the substance behind your statement. Please explain to me how the US hasn't fallen apart to the hands of the refractory negro.

2} You mention that Africans are "literally retarded by 1st world standards." By this statement, I assume you're generalizing the average IQ of the continent to be 70, the point of mental retardation. This is quite fallacious due to the fact that such a number is highly illogical, and the means that derived this number were erroneous.

3) Asians and Europeans were not at the same level of development during the 20th century. With the exception of Japan: China, SK, Vietnam, etc were all poor, low-IQ shitholes. Through the advent of capital flight from the US, East Asia was able to industrialise. One can make the argument that Africa is in the position today most of East Asia was in 40 years ago. As wages rise in China, the capital will begin its flight once more.

Of course, much of the article is anecdotal and about his time teaching across Africa and not just his theory as a linguist about how orally taught languages limit a person's ability to develop their abstract, critical, and analytical thinking skills unless they put a huge effort into studying not only foreign language, but the contexts and concepts that come with them. As far as people speaking Semitic languages for centuries, they likely wouldn't have this problem as they've been thinking and writing within the highly developed confines of these expansive languages, as opposed to their entire vocabulary and conceptualization of life wasn't taught to them by a small village of 20-80 people with no writing or formal education besides perhaps a tribal historian or story teller that passes down the oral history of their peoples

Also, I don't think Africans are dumb. People in general are dumb. I just think that Africans have been the last group of humans to be exposed to the world at large due to their extremely hostile homeland, and are being artificially and rapidly forced to go through a growing process that all other humans went through over a course of thousands of years.

So yes, take a dirty, naked, self-mutilated, African tribesman with no education besides his orally taught language and very limited control over his base animal impulses, drop him off in Manhattan, and he will be exceedingly stupid and potentially dangerous.

Take a wealthy, yuppie, ivory-tower, gender studies professor snob from Berkeley and plop him into the bush with a bunch of naked, crazy, hooting tribesmen and see how well he conforms when it comes to hunting, tracking, making medicinal tinctures from foliage, creating bone/stone tools and weaving ropes or baskets out of sinews or plant materials. Chances are, he'll be deemed useless, executed, and eaten before the savage chucking javelins at cars in Manhattan gets shot by the cops.

Intelligence can be relative.

This is not the article I was making references to and paraphrasing this whole time, couldn't find it. But here is a BBC article about a tribe in the Amazon forest that has no concept of the abstractions of time or space, apparently. Didn't read the entire thing, but this should give some insight into how language can affect a society's ability to understand complex concepts and therefore appear to be dumb or limited.

Your problem is that you don't actually understand what personality is. From a psychometric perspective, it simply 5 basic traits: Extroversion, Agreeableness, Conscientiousness, Openness, and Neuroticism. These traits are easily measured and heavily, yes - heavily, genetically influenced. It's not your philosophical outlook on life or the whole story of your character, but just like IQ it is easily measurable and heavily genetically influenced. And what I consider to be the leading psychologist of the world, Jordan Peterson, is working to split up each trait into 2 sub-traits, as well as create a new personality test that will measure your traits as accurately as it has ever been done before.

It's a measured personality trait, and the disparity between genders across cultures proves it is heavily biologically influenced. It doesn't invalidate the claim, it only proves it.

According to their own depictions of themselves they appear to be "snowniggers" but thats beside the point they were beat because they relied on mercenaries and were incapable of strategic flexibility at least compared to the romans who for elaboration invented a fucking swiveling bording bridge for a single naval battle against the fleet of carthage and the war was only fought once the romans were confident they had the ressources to contest carthagos sphere.
They won because they picked their battle and their foe was full of themselves.

Because they define your potential in society which in turn dictates your political beliefs i.e. a genetic loser will endorse socialism bevause it reduces the burden on that individual and a lottery winner will of course opt for the status quo where more is to be gained for the ambitious.

Here you just redefined what a word meant for your own benefit. No, it only 'implies' it does most of the work from your perspective. Heavy influence means heavy influence, which unspecifically means a lot of influence. 'Most of the work' would specifically be referred to as the main influence. Then you went on to post Wikipedia article on statistical significance to prove your claim, which has nothing to do with the semantics of "heavy" or "strong" influence and what you define them as. You were arguing using semantics, here, and you were wrong anyway.

On average thats the difference a first world country and a thrid world utopia so it is a valid concearn even if (you) are in the lower echelon because your social kickback is reduced.
Also white is just a term niggers use to describe caucasians. There is a multitude of people in europe allwith their genetic quirks and none are equal.
Eastern europe is a shithole because it lies between dominating powers in europe and is subsequently prone to sabotage in order to prepare invasions.
That said they do have not been able to compete with the more industrious western powers and the more numerous eastern so there you have your answer you google for facts consulting summer child.
