Ghettos are not fenced in breeding grounds. Those who live there have every opportunity to fornicate outside thier social group. So it is not where you live that creates that selective pressure, but personal standards. Smart people prefer to pair up with other smart people. It is a class issue.

As for racial disparities, those clearly predate civilization. Logically small brains and low IQ are the starting point and the question is what caused whites and Asians to develop higher IQs.

The most convincing theories I have heard are: selective pressure from harsher climate and selective pressure from conflict.

Yea. Or were a zoo. And none of us were meant to develop together.

There is something missing in our story. Something they are not telling us.

How are we a zoo?

And none of us were meant to develop together.

This implies everything was meant to be a different way, that this intention belongs to an entity somehow creating or controlling the world, and that some force has thrown that intention out of whack.

None of that seems reasonable to me.

I don't see any "supposed to" in any of it. It simply is the way it is because that is how history has unfolded.

Women have 28 day cycles. The moon has a 28 day cycle.

The moon lines up perfectly with the sun. So when we observe them together, they are perfectly the same size.

There is some rule of 365 or like 370 or some hundred number. It applies to our circumference. It applies to the moons circumference. It applies to the suns circumference.

It applies to our distance to the middle of the earth. It applies to all of our pyramids. It applies to the distance between our pyramids. And it applies to the stars in the Sky, and how they appear to us.

Our universe expands at a speed faster than light. So if we started to travel to another planetary destination, we would never reach it, because it’s moving at the speed of light, away from us.

I was discussing this with some one else. Recently on Saidit

But from all observations, it appears we are in a simulation. That is the proper conclusion. And aliens are simply people hopping in the program they created.

I’m talking about a larger picture.

A simpler explanation is that we are some kind of refuge gone wrong.

Either way, we are in a situation together, where we have to work together.

Things are better if we don’t murder all of us.

No, wrong. In the Baghavad gita, it is expressly stated that a war is just when relations have grown completely skewed, which is the case here.
