FMF, you do believe that all realities are located in the physical, right?
Yes, even the abstract things that humans are capable of are made possible by it.

Alright, FMF,

your turn.

What is the seat of intelligence? Is it the physical brain? Are physical brains different than one another, and is it possible that some people have cognitive features that are superior to others, and capacities that are greater?

Would it make sense that these are heritable and not purely environmental?

Basically, ...[text shortened]... answers for a change, FMF.

This could be a great opportunity to debut your new posting style.
Feel free to say whatever you want about race and IQ. And feel free to ignore any of my observations or questions.

Judging by the posts of mine you have ignored, I think it's pretty clear you are missing the point with regard to what my interest is exactly in the race-IQ prism through which you choose to view your fellow human beings. Present whatever theories you want and go on about it as much as you want.

If I post something in a style or with content that you don't like just ignore.

If you take a dislike to me addressing some things you say and not doing your bidding on other things, keep making suggestions as much you want about my posting style, and if that doesn't achieve what you want, just ignore me if you want.

I don't really have one and I'm not really interested in the nuts and bolts of what you are going on about, as I said earlier on this thread. Thinking about things like the number of neurons people have in their brain from this country or that country is not relevant to my life.

What I am interested in - somewhat [I wouldn't want to overstate it] - is the effect your fixation on race and IQ has on your outlook and behaviour. I note that virtually every single practical question about the application of your race-IQ stuff has brought on a flood of stuff about environment and education and innumerable mitigating factors etc.

I am more interested in how your race-IQ thing fits into your jaundiced wordlview which does not value individuality, which does not believe in rights and freedoms, which sneers at social justice using silly slogans and banter and a kind of prissy far right version of virtue-signalling, which thinks in terms of "simpletons" and "geniuses", which involves kissing bishops' hands and swooning over the PhDs who go to the same church as you, which likes to paint races, peoples, and - I note - opponents, with a broad stereotyping brush, which sets them up like cardboard cutouts in your online lonely ex-pat psychodrama and then knocks them all down flat to your satisfaction, and which all seems to take a rather pretentious glee in oozing its litre-of-vodka-in-a-day misanthropy.

As for your race-IQ prism, feel free to chunter on about it as much as you see fit. And feel free to simply ignore or misconstrue the extent to which I am interested in it.

There is no "new posting style".

I kind of get what you are saying, bro, but I have to say... You can't just come here to attack people and rarely contribute any of your own substance or ideas on it.

Surely, you have ideas here, but it is like you only want to interrogate people and attack them. No substance.

THat's not good for you or for others.
