For decades hereditarians have argued that as humans dispersed from Africa and were forced to adapt to novel and more challenging environments, selection pressures caused genetic changes affecting the brain (and therefore intelligence).

Blank slatists responded by claiming, "Oh no, that would be racist! 50,000 years is not enough time for changes in the brain to occur. Sure, some human organs may have undergone a little evolutionary adaptation, but not the brain!"

It was always a dumb and ideologically-motivated rebuttal and now hereditarians have strong direct scientific evidence to counter it. Two studies over just the past eight months — one of ancient European DNA conducted in David Reich's lab and another of ancient Asian DNA — found that humans underwent genetic changes associated with higher intelligence in the not-too-distant past.

Non-linear Ethnic Niches

"Chaldeans control 90% of the grocery stores in Detroit. 40% of the truck drivers in California are Sikh, and about a third of US Sikhs are truck drivers. About 95% of the Dunkin’ Donuts stores in Chicago and the Midwest are owned by Indians, mostly Gujarati Patels. In New England and New York, 60% of Dunkin’ Donuts stores are operated by Portuguese immigrants. 90% of the liquor stores in Baltimore are owned by Koreans. "

New article on AI, Leftism and Reddit:

"The AI does not follow the formal argument structure, at all. It commits many logical fallacies, leverages misinformation and channels left-wing ideology and moral foundations.

If these arguments were to be presented in a philosophy class, because they are full of fallacies, lack a proper structure and are very personal the AI would receive a low grade, yet in the real world it is winning the market place of ideas. Why?”

Researchers in a panic because AI can determine race from heart scans without any instruction or info on race.

"Race is not a biological category" so AI must be "reproducing biases." Computers are fooled by "social constructs."
