Intelligence isn't genetic. Its determined by large set of environmental factors as well as societal ones

[-] boonhet@lemm.ee 20 points 1 week ago

It's genetic and environmental (I'd argue that societal is a subset of environment - the society you live in is part of your environment).

IQ is far from a perfect measure for intelligence, but it has a high degree of inheritability - up to 80%.

However

As soon as malnutrition comes into play, IQ is automatically severely diminished. Add in all the other environmental factors too, and - it turns out we do have a lot more we can do to increase peoples intelligence, before resorting to eugenics.

They can start in the Oval Office.

The irony. I bet most MAGA have sub-median IQ. But apart from that:

That stance of mass-sterilization is quite a hefty turnaround from "people should have more children", which we heard just a few months ago.

I don't want to be a doomer, but the economic prospects are bad. Lots of people already struggle to make end's meet, and if the mass layoffs of white collar workers due to AI are real, it will be even worse. Notice that it doesn't matter whether you think that AI can replace people, it only matters whether companies think that AI can replace people. Now, having children costs a lot of money, at least $100K, depending on where you live, and i understand people being reluctant about having children.

I also think that it's politician's job to improve the living conditions of the people, and GOP might actually for once be doing its job if it starts educating people about the socio-economic implications of having kids.

I also advocate for UBI (universal basic income), but the way i see it today, there's a high likelyhood that it will come, but will be too little to actually cover cost-of-living costs. I.e., it might be a "support", providing $400/month no-strings-attached and it would definitely improve the living conditions of many people, especially in low-income households. But it would still not solve all problems.

"You got a vasectomy because it was forced on you for having low IQ. I got a vasectomy because I refuse to subject another human to this batshit world. We are not the same."

Is this why they're getting a list of neurodivergent people together? Not that that has anything to do with IQ, but merely their perceived warped reality of it.

Seems they don't expect people to vote anymore.

FASCISM STATS +1

Let a nazi into a bar. He brings his friends. And it becomes a nazi bar.

That's free speech absolution In a nutshell. This is what it leads to.

The right to debate the merits for eugenics, genocide, ethnocide, and just straight up murder of those people I dont like, has turned into this, the rise of another Nazi Regime in all but name.

The sad thing is they aren't even the first. The argument can be made about a number of Regimes big and small, Russia and El Salvador for example. and they got to where they were long before Trump was back in the WH

That's going to cost them votes in the long run, if their base can't reproduce.

So, themselves?

[-] obbeel@lemmy.eco.br 9 points 1 week ago

I think the USA is taking a turn to the right more than americans care to admit. It's hard to believe some of these news.

Also, peace on Europe depends on those 1945 treaties. Things can't go wrong. Something needs to be thought up, and the destruction of universities don't help. Duke University and others work hard but guess what? A lot of them are on the United States.

This symbol of freedom won't go out without a bang. Who will support the world in these trying times? Which philosophers will bring the glue that holds us together? We need that.

Sounds like he needs to get sterilized by his own logic.
