    If your not open minded on the issues of race and IQ, don't bother watching this video.
    Is the test for being "open minded" agreeing with you and Taylor?

    That would be pushing it.

    I admit that I am somewhat closed-minded towards this kind of stuff. I used to care and I used to drive the racists up the wall by arguing with them wherever I found them. Not anymore.

    My snobbishness has gotten to the point that I just don't pay attention to unfamiliar opinions that are primarily available in video format, because YouTube proselytizing universally caters to the lowest common denominator. If it's a written article without too many spelling mistakes I usually bother to skim through it no matter how idiotic the premise.

    The more you complain, the less I care about your problems.

    I find the iq thing, without watching the video, is based more on culture and where you live than on race.

    !! Going to my destruction !!

    A video with a guy pushing a discredited theory. What do I need to be open minded about?

    Society may be formed so as to exist without crime, without poverty, […] no obstacle whatsoever intervenes at this moment except ignorance to prevent such a state of society.

    Where was the theory debunked? I have been looking for it, but I only have access to google really and not much other information. From what I can find there was a debate over whether inequality between the races was cultural or genetic. can you provide a paper that conclusively shows the difference in IQ is cultural and not genetic? (I ask as you have better access to such materials)

    IQ is dependent on genes--not entirely, but to a large extent.

    The incorrect part of the theory is that this means that there are racial differences in IQ. I've shown darklord the relevant information from the wikipedia page, but he was unable to understand it. The 'races' are not subspecies. Period.

    Of course, when the original settlers in Australia first arrived they had to depend on the aborigines since they had no idea how to survive in the wilderness which to me illustrates that IQ tests are not necessarily "useful."

    So, he's a journalist and went to school for political science. Hm, I wonder if his intentions in making the video are political rather than scientific.

    For a void without a question is just perverse.

    Of course it is political, it is attempted to justify their own bigotry. Nothing else.

    There is no evidence debunking it. Senior has a muddled understanding of race, were he thinks races do not exist, which anybody who has been outside for 10 minutes knows it not true.

    There cannot be evidence debunking it. For example. Its a long established facts of brain size differences among races. East Asians have the largest brains, followed by whites, followed by blacks. And brain size correlates with intelligence. Facts like these are very difficult to explain away.
    Another glaring fact, is that in 16,000 school districts in America, there is not ONE district, where blacks score higher then whites. There is not one society, where blacks score higher then whites. Its a absolute universal observable fact, that east-Asians and whites always outperform blacks on tests of intelligence.
    If anything what this video is advocating is a "war" between smart people and dumb people based on the results of IQ tests. Jared Taylor's bias towards blacks is coloring his conclusions.
    Have you watched the video? Where did you get the idea he was suggesting war?
    Of course it is political, it is attempted to justify their own bigotry. Nothing else.
    Such a pedestrian response. Somebody who disagrees with you? Oh, must be a bigot, thats an easy explanation right?
    Jared Taylor has only ever advocated two government policies, allowing free association (not forcing racial diversity) and stopping immigration. And he has been doing so in a rational, polite and humane fashion for like the last 30 years, in countless debates, media appearances and has in his own studies and website. He has been a tireless champion for the truth and he deserves better then the glib dismissal of people who know fuck all about him.

    I would just like to say that brain size is not the same as intelligence. This sounds like eugenics.
