i agree IQ itself is BS
alright, I don't know how or why you come across these papers and I don't know how after reading these there's not an ounce of healthy skepticism that allows you to question the content and it's accuracy but here goes:
No scepticism? Even if I lean a certain way currently I doubt myself constantly and I understand I have a certain subjective reality tunnel that is affected by genetic predisposition as well as environment. I think the reason I come across material such as this has a lot to do with the push of identity politics in recent years. It is the so-called anti-racists who push this ideology and it has the opposite effect on people such as myself. This identity politics of "minorities" and purportedly "oppressed people" causes a rise in identity politics on the other side of the aisle, it's a natural consequence. Even horrible people such Hillary Clinton have said that Europe's open borders naturally causes a rise in right wing populist movements. It's no mystery. I reject the popular explanations for anti-semitism, racism and so on, so I've sought out alternative explanations and they make more sense to me currently.
Anti-semitism is said to be borne out of ignorance and envy and never has anything to do with negative behavior of this group towards the group doing the "hating". I don't think ignorance or envy explains everything.
"Black dysfunction" is said to only be due to oppression by whites. I don't think oppression and racism by whites explains everything.
The only reason why i'd ever engage on such a trivial or meaningless topic such as "racial questions" on a internet forum
But do you really see it as trivial? These issues are seen as anything but trivial in the media nowadays. White racism seems to be the foremost issue on all platforms. Diversity is seen as the most important goal by all, if you disagree you are un-personed, de-platformed, de-monetized, fired, jailed and preferably killed. Celebrities are calling for the assassination of Trump because he doesn't want wide open borders. White celebrities are apologizing because there aren't enough blacks or other minorities in their movies (Joaquin Phoenix was the latest I saw do this).
When people can comment anonymously, such as here, you see that a lot of people reject these popular narratives.
My view is that biology can explain a lot of human behavior and closing your eyes to this is doomed to fail.

And these methods are already being proposed. This type of thinking is fraught with dangers IMO. Who gets to decide how people are supposed to think?
