-Removed-I have no idea if you are worthy of having a conversation with about this topic.
Do you accept IQ tests as valid? Will you confront an argument that is based on current scientific understanding?
Until we know if you believe in like... appraising truth via scientific testing and data, until we know that you want to have a conversation about what any of this might mean...
Why would I agree to talk about this at all?
You just want me to dance around within the realm of yoru witch hunting questions and the likes.
Not interested in that style of conversation where I make statements and you're like "ZOMG racist ZOMG how terrible. Muh current year."
How about you write something at length and if it look slike you want to talk about it I'll talk about it.
But for a discussion to be rational both parties need to look like they want to have it.
You don't seem like a guy who wants to discuss anything but just wants to sit on the outside, take potshots and be selctively outraged.
Alright,m then let it be known that we aren't moving on.
I answered the question, and then I clarified that I don't know when you trid to emphasize some other aspect.
And I clarified I do not want to play some immature word game where I HAVE TO ansewr LOADED questions and you get to dictate the entire pace of the discussion.
That's not a discussion. I'd be an idiot to agree to do that.
But part of me almost wants to play because I'd like to see what you would do.

Originally posted by @philokaliaIt's a question very much on the same level of discourse that you seem to be motivated to operate on. Your "race". "IQ". You being "white". Simpletons. People with PhDs in your church.
Plus, stupid question.
Originally posted by @philokaliaIn Indonesia, we have over 300 ethnic groups. There are four major ones here on the island I live on. How many "white" ethnic groups do you think there are?
LOL, why did you put white in quotation marks? Do you not believe that white people exist?
Originally posted by @fmfOh no, not at all. I am not concerned with these things unless there is a context for discussion, my friend.

It is also very noteworthy that IQ can fluctuate dramatically based on circumstance. I certainly believe that.
What do you believe about IQ?
I can't get Dive to answer and you're like his dad and mentor. How about you take point on this one, FMF. Hold his hand through the process for him.
