[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 65768, member: 544"] First, your 'unmapped genes' logic is a joke. You’re basically saying, 'I’m using a map of London to navigate Tokyo, and because the Tokyo map isn't finished yet, London must be the only city that exists.' Geneticists have already shown that the 'tags' you’re using for intelligence in Europeans don't work on African DNA because Africa has more genetic diversity than the rest of the planet combined. You aren't measuring 'unintelligent individuals'; you’re just using a broken ruler. Second, your 'Ghost Hominid' talk is just another way to avoid looking at the actual terrain. Everyone has admixture—Europeans have Neanderthal, Asians have Denisovan. If 'admixture' was a death sentence for civilization, we’d all still be living in caves. You’re looking for a biological 'boogeyman' because you’re too scared to admit that geography is the real driver of history. Look Konrad, let’s just play devil’s advocate and say your whole 'hierarchy' is 100% correct for a second. Even if you believe some groups have 'lower stats' on a chart, what is this hate actually doing for [I]you[/I]? You’re acting like a guy who hates a dog because it can’t do calculus. Do you kick a dog because it’s not a human? Of course not. A real leader—a real 'Master'—doesn't find glory in being cruel to those he thinks are 'lesser.' That’s 'slave morality' behavior; it’s the pettiness of a clerk who needs someone to look down on just to feel like he’s standing up. Even if you don't see the 'joint mental space' we all share, we are all still 'pink in the middle' and capable of suffering. Carrying all this bitterness just turns your own soul into a 'Stage 3' stress wreck. You're trying to build a civilization out of 'logistics' and 'alleles,' but you’re forgetting that the only thing worth building is a world where you can actually be proud of the man you are when no one is looking. Let the hate go, man. It’s a heavy bag to carry, and it’s not making you any 'smarter' or 'superior'—it’s just making you small. [/QUOTE]
