Human races are no different than dog breeds. The biggest mistake is not systematically improving humanity through selective breeding, or programs that encourage desirable traits to proliferate. High scoring teens should be encouraged and funded to start families before going off to college. Free childcare, a stipend, free college.

It's fucking insane how we are literally watching our societies crumble under regressive forces and we do nothing about it.

Thanks for providing an example of how this was the biggest mistake in the history of science.

I didn't. What exactly are you reading into what I wrote? How else would you classify human races? We can obviously interbreed, yet we clearly have different group characteristics. "breeds" was already taken. I don't see any problem with inventing the term race to distinguish us from animals.

There are a lot of stupid things that have come from racism, intersectionality, and wokeness. But I don't think any of those things originate from, or are contingent on classification.

You see it's how we think about it. We can't escape this way of thinking of dividing people up.

When reading roman history you'll realize that they were a true melting pot. They had territories with whites, browns, Arabs and blacks. It didn't much matter though. It was citizen or not citizen (or slave). The German tribes on the northern borders refereed to them as mongrels - which I guess there were actually!

First of all finding patterns IS intelligence. The idea that finding a valid pattern is somehow a mistake is wrong. Just because you don't like the implications of this particular pattern doesn't mean you can just pretend that the pattern doesn't exist. That makes you ignorant. Others who are less ignorant will have an advantage over you.

If the woke ideology were anything but retarded it wouldn't have to be enforced with violence. People who hired using false assumptions would suffer for it, and those who didn't would out-compete them naturally. This competition can't be allowed to play out because in reality the all white, or even better the companies that hired based on IQ scores, would clearly win and prove that racial differences matter.

Literally anyone who has any doubt can spend a day going from neighborhood to neighborhood with different demographics. This works really well in Chicago where we have lots of natural segregation. There are lots of Mexican majority neighborhoods, they are all very similar to each other, and they are all different from the black majority neighborhoods and the black majority neighborhoods are all very similar to each other.

The differences correlate far far more to race than to income. There are other factors like income that make differences, but none of them are as powerful a force as race.

I'm not. I'm pointing out that as our civilizations progresses we will inevitably keep opening up these Pandora's boxes. There's no way around it. But at least it answers the Fermi Paradox.

but none of them are as powerful a force as race.

Nah, more powerful is racist Democrat policies implemented for decades. But I guess we beg to differ.

Explain why they don't work then.

They worked great keeping blacks in poverty and dependent on Democrats for their paycheques.
