Race Differences in Intelligence

This lecture is about as startling as hearing the boy shout, “The Emperor has no clothes.” Everyone looks at everyone else thinking, “I thought I was the only one who noticed.” 
 
It is unfortunate that most people can endanger their careers by agreeing publicly with Jared Taylor.  Nevertheless, Jared Taylor may overestimate the length of time since the split between Negroes and whites. He estimated at least 100,000 years. Gregory Cochran and Henry Harpending, whom Jared Taylor mentioned, estimate at least 50,000 years.  

Also, although the black Nubians learned civilization from the white Egyptians, they had cities, and writing before the time of Christ.  The Bantu never developed writing and mathematics on their own. Nevertheless, they developed iron age technology, and domesticated crops and animals before their contact with the Europeans.

Excellent video presentation Mr. Taylor.  Truly excellent.

Nice to see England second from top in the IQ/cranial capacity chart, even though our cranial capacity is, apparently, slightly behind the French and Scandanavians.
Personally, I have a MENSA tested IQ of 117; average white guy=100, minimum Mensa requirement=132 (if I remember correctly, open to correction).
I quite like that – I’m a working class half-genius!
I found the graphs presented to be quite fascinating, but really they just confirmed what I have observed of Blacks in this country and abroad. I don’t need to be “half-genius” to believe the evidence of my own eyes! (last years London riots were but the latest confirmation of Blacks general propensity towards violence, indicating a lower IQ, for example). 

The Norwegian journalist Harald Eia, whose 38-minute video on race was posted on Amren two weeks ago, cannot match the condensed power of Jared Taylor’s 16-minute presentation above.  Nonethless, Eia’s format —he interviews four “environmentalists” and four hereditarians [including such notables as Charles Murray, Richard Lynn and Greg Cochran] and uses his Ipod to get them to view and respond to each other’s arguments— makes for compellilng viewing. 

If you missed it, google “Harald Eia” and “Race”.  Eia has produced several other worthy 38-minute productions, most especially “The Inequality Paradox” about gender differences.  Once again Eia interviews ardent environmentalists and also convinced hereditarians and lets his viewers weigh the arguments and evidence.

So, does anyone know an elite mercenary team we can pay to take over a TV studio and broadcast this nationally?

Though East Asians on average score higher on IQ examinations they have not historically achieved real-world accomplishments in applied science comparable to Caucasians. They are good test takers to be sure.

Mr. Dihes, please send an email to [email protected] and I will forward you the transcript.

IQ is, as I’ve said earlier, overrated. Or misinterpreted. Most people automatically equate it with creativity, intelligence in old, informal manner.  Slightly more than average IQ people (Henri Poincare, Richard Feynman) have been creative geniuses. So- what’s IQ ? Perhaps what’s originally considered: ability to adapt to unexpected circumstances.
High IQ people- aside from psychos- tend to do well in their lives & are good in maintaining functioning modern societies. They’re not trailbrazers, heroes of intellect, fountains of creativity. They are, generally, interesting and good low maintenance citizens.
 

Last year, Zhao Bowen was part of a team that cracked the genetic code of the cucumber. These days, he’s probing the genetic basis for human IQ.
Zhao is 17…

 Zhao came to BGI on a summer internship last year to work on cucumbers. Now a full-time employee while continuing his studies, Zhao is turning his attention to a topic Western researchers have shied away from because of ethical worries: Zhao plans to study the genes of 1,000 of his best-performing classmates at a top high school in Beijing and compare them, he said, “with 1,000 normal kids.”…
  
In 2007, Chinese geneticists discovered vast differences in the genetic makeup of Africans, Asians and Caucasians.

As has been previously pointed out:
http://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/does-one-have-to-be-a-genius-to-do-maths/

Whites tend to be more adventurous and entrepreneurial than East Asians.  East Asians place more value on conformity. In English we have the expression “the squeaky wheel gets the grease.”  In Japanese they have an express “the nail that sticks up gets hammered down.”  

“No genes for human intelligence have been found. Not even close.”

1) The evidence shows a genetic basis for intelligence. It is not necessary to identify a specific gene or cluster of genes in order to support the theory that there is a genetic basis for differences in intelligence. For example, Gregor Mendel published his laws of inheritance in 1865. That was 88 years before Watson and Crick discovered DNA. 

2) You appear to be wholly unfamiliar with the work of Bruce Lahn (cited in the video) or of Davies et al. (2011), “Genome-wide association studies establish that human intelligence is highly heritable and polygenic,” Journal of Molecular Psychiatry.  Review and absorb the science on the question and you can avoid making such embarrassing statements that scientists are “not even close” to identifying a genetic basis for human intelligence.

“Jared Taylor should have made a video about this instead.”

Why don’t YOU go make that video? All I see from you is anonymous sniping from behind your keyboard.  Every time that AmRen publishes something or holds a conference, a bunch of anonymous cowards along the side lines moan and complain about how Jared Taylor supposedly isn’t doing it right.  And whenever I suggest to them that they hold their own conferences the response is……….

So far I spammed this video to over 100 IM people

Many people messaged me back saying they enjoyed the video

I had four successful arguments out of it too

One was a funny Ted Talks watching regular. This guy believed that humans had the biology like a plant would, and epigenetic phenotypes were the primary cause of intelligence. It doesn’t make sense to have the same development as a plant because we are mammals, and mammals leave their environment for better places to adapt rather than attach to a stationary land mass like a plant would. The whole thing was ridiculously funny and all I really had to do was push out some NIH links. He said the evidence for epigenetic intelligence will be revealed “someday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

funny stuff

This other Australian called Jared Taylor a biased racist crackpot and every word in the book and refused to watch the video. He gave me some old NIH studies and I gave him a couple that were newer. He eventually grew silent and I just told him to watch the video with an “open mind ”

I had an argument with an Asian friend of mine also, and he eventually agreed and became a race-realist. He’s fine with being a a different race and being a realist because he appreciates genuine values. 

Im afraid this Irishman I know is too into Marxism to listen to anything I say. He just spams causation =/= correlation over and over. 

Thanks again to Amren for making this video. I am not a scientist, I am more of a painter, but I try my best where I can. 

There was a panel discussion on BBC yesterday fronted by Gavin Essler and his usual posse of sickeningly self-righteous suspects.   Someone brought up the issue of the “fantastic” Olympics opening ceremonly and proceeded to attack the odious Tory MP who called it “multi-cultural crap” (and then grovelled and back-tracked of course).  Well you should have seen these hypocrites competing amongst themselves to froth about the wonders of multi-culturalism, ad nauseum. 

This morning a BBC News front-woman was interviewing (via video link) someone in Singapore what they thought about the opening ceremony and he indicated that Singaporeans were less than enthusiastic (“confused” was the word he used) about the message it conveyed about Britain.  When the BBC woman asked him to elaborate he started to mention “NHS nurses jumping on beds” – she immediately cut him off saying they were “out of time”.  She had asked him the question and he barely got out one sentence..!!      

I know plenty of people who SHOULD listen to this – the problem is that those people dont WANT to listen to racial logic – it makes them feel uncomfortable, dirty, evil, and RACIST..!    If I were to send them this I very much doubt they would watch the entire video and even if they did they would only do so whilst uttering the stupefying mantra “I am not a racist like this man, I am not a racist…..” as a defence mechanism in order to avoid the awkward truth.    As a society we have really painted ourself into a tight racial equalitarian corner and there seems no way to get out of it without a very bloody and destructive civil and racial war with a majority of our side batting for the opposition..!!     

Ultimately (but sadly) Jared Taylor “speaks the truth not to convince those who do not know it, but to defend those that do..!”   (William Blake) 

Jupiter you are just completely wrong on this issue.  Almost everyone agrees with you that race replacement is the number one issue facing white people all over the world.  The problem is it is nearly impossible to make the case for white self-preservation without reference to iq. 

I also would prefer to avoid the issue altogether, and I think JT also would prefer to  avoid it.  The problem is that we cannot even articulate a collective identity without people saying, “who’s white?”  One response to this is that other groups have identities, but they say that is cultural or religious and not racial.  They claim that race is not real.  Genetics and psychometrics are a crucial part of the response that lie.  The 1965 Act itself was explicitly based on the assumption that the races do not differ in intelligence.  Destroying that premise will be crucial to restoring a sensible immigration policy. 

At the very least, race realism could very well discourage race mixing.  Do you think that young women in their twenties would ape what they see on MTV if they knew that racial egalitarianism is a lie.  I don’t think so.  I think that if they knew that whites are unique, they would choose other whites for mates much more reliably than they do now.

I am NOT saying that whites should not appeal to the naked economic self-interest of other whites in opposing immigration.  I’m just saying that we should use ALL tools at our disposal, not just some and not others.

Now please stop repeating the same objections over and over again on this site.  It is really getting old.  Can’t we just agree to disagree?

Good work Jared, I am really appreciating what you are doing with this video series so far.

Well reasoned, well presented, well articulated and concise pieces (like those which have been done so far) help reduce repetition, help sell a bigger picture and help reinforce those arguments which we all have at the back of our minds but often struggle remembering all the details. 

I was going to say they will also be timeless….but seeing as time is not particularly on our side, I hope they will not be ‘timeless’ in that regard!

Race and IQ is a tricky subject to bring up with ordinary people. I admit I do not ordinarily find it practical or a good avenue to take a discussion (I tend to stick to ethno-nationalism, anti-globalism, societal policies and self-preservation etc) – but there are always those occasions where it does come up, and those occasions where you need to explain to people why you have concerns about what is likely to happen in a society (or a nation) when the ethnic composition is dramatically altered.

For those kind of arguments or point propositions, I am sure this kind of video will be helpful.

I also liked the little rationale at the end – that it would be better for all involved to admit to all our differences, so that we can really mutually improve our situations.

This helps shift the onus onto the opposition that they are the wrong-doers for denying this difference and enforcing their ways on us all, whether black or white. I strongly believe that trying to gain the moral high ground and putting shame onto the current established order has an important potential for changing that established order. It is much better than people having an off-putting rant or rave about these kinds of issues.

Thanks,
