Frankly, if migration is not reduced in Europe soon, Europeans will begin moving en mass elsewhere and abandon the shit tip that it's becoming.

I feel like you already did that. My entire country is Europeans who threw up their hands and said "Fuck this shit tip, I'm going west." ...well, them and the descendents of their slaves.

Right now my country is in a panic because so many of the descendents of the English and Germans don't want to live in the same neighborhoods as the descendents of the Spanish. A hundred twenty years ago it was "Fuck the Polish and the Irish right to death; they are the worst people the world has ever seen. They are stupid, they smell terrible, and they breed like rats."

But it's always been the same thing, really. Poor Europeans coming over to do shit jobs for rich Europeans and getting spit on for having the audacity to do that. See, we don't really have any native inhabitants here to argue over, because, you know, y'all slaughtered them.

Europeans and NE Asians are superior to all others, in terms of being genetically intelligent and law abiding. Hispanics are a notch down except for Argentinians (lot of Italian ancestors). Black people are generally like the untouchables in India. We therefore need some sort of caste/varna system based on IQ, where the most intelligent from each caste can move up, with NE Asians and Whites being like the Brahmins. If a Hispanic person is smart enough to move up, they can become Brahmin. Blacks will mostly be Shudras or Dalits (untouchable). Has worked in India for 3000 years.

Here’s 5 years of ACT Data, showing on page 10 for race. https://www.act.org/content/dam/act/unsecured/documents/2022/2022-National-ACT-Profile-Report.pdf

Intelligence isn't quantifiable, and we've known the IQ system is little better than pseudoscience for about 75 years.

I most certainly prefer equality of opportunity to a caste system.

Intelligence is quantifiable. Besides the IQ system many other alternatives exist. Read a couple of PhD theses on the subject and we can talk.

Intelligence is not quantifiable. Creating a statistic called "intelligence" and trying to apply it to someone's ability to solve any specific problem is like creating a statistic called "athleticism" and trying to apply it to someone's ability to shine on the pommel horse.

Read this and next time listen to me the first time: https://www.vetta.org/documents/Machine_Super_Intelligence.pdf.

I'm not going to sit down and read 184 pages because you insisted I do so; and also, I'd bet money you haven't read this either.

The concept of machine learning does not validate that idea that every human being has a statistic called INT and that INT can predict how well they'll perform at any given task.

I have read it twice and I read it when it came out as well as the subsequent research in the field. I find it annoying that I need to explain that you are a complete idiot in this field. In biotech you might not be ignorant, great. Here, you are.

"I read all 184 pages twice," said binaryblob, aggressively lying to me.

Humans are very similar to computers: hardware is your genetic code, software is your environment. If your ‘hardware’ is Japanese, Korean, Chinese, or Northern European (esp northernmost Italy), then you are set. If your hardware is from sub Saharan Africa originally, you’ve got a POS from 1991 and dial up.
