Do you think blacks are a bigger problem than hispanics in America? by 8thmonitor in debatealtright

What I notice is that Hispanics are more industrial/responsible and often are promoted to supervisors or allowed to run their own affairs in a business (in a blue collar capacity).

Hispanics litter and Hispanic areas are dirty, but I haven't felt unsafe around Hispanics. I literally cross the street to walk on the other sidewalk to avoid blacks. They're 10 times more homicidal than whites and have our media, judicial and legal institutions bending their knee to them.

How accurate are these 2023 IQ numbers for American ethnic groups? by 8thmonitor in debatealtright

It says that a white American mixing with a Asian American results in higher IQ than average white IQ and average Asian IQ. That makes zero sense.

This could be explained by whites and Asians who do inter-marry having higher IQ than their racial averages. In other words, maybe white guys marrying with Asians have higher IQ than the white male average?

Issue 2: How does Central & South American have an IQ of 94.7 when White Cuban have an IQ of 91.78? Don't Central & South Americans have less European genetics and more Amerindian genetics than White Cubans?

Maybe white Cubans on average aren't very bright and white Cubans in the US are less unrepresentative of white Cubans on average than south Americans in the US? In other words, South Americans in the US may be more selective than white Cubans, and white Cubans in Cuba probably have fairly low IQ.

Shouldn't Indian-Americans have the highest IQ? Their median household income is the highest compared to other ethnic groups. Higher IQ means higher income.

The correlation between income and IQ is only 0.15 or something. IQ is a better predictor of wealth (0.30) possibly because wealth requires generating income and reducing loss, and IQ correlates with income (0.15) and forward thinking.

Why Do Northeast Asians Win So Few Nobel Prizes?

Most scientific discoveries have originated from Europe, and Europeans have won 20 times more Nobel Prizes than have Northeast Asians. We argue that this is explained not by IQ, but by interracial personality differences, underpinned by differences in gene distribution. In particular, the variance in scientific achievement is explained by differences in inquisitiveness (DRD4 7-repeat), psychological stability (5HTTLPR long form), and individualism (mu-opioid receptor gene; OPRM1 G allele). Northeast Asians tend to be lower in these psychological traits, which we argue are necessary for exceptional scientific accomplishments. Since these traits comprise a positive matrix, we constructed a q index (measuring curiosity) from these gene frequencies among world populations. It is found that both IQ scores and q index contribute significantly to the number of per capita Nobel Prizes.

From ancient natural philosophy to modern physics, the history of science has been dominated by Europeans. It would not be controversial to state that the most distinguished scholars in the world post-1900 have been Nobel laureates and Fields medalists. Table 1 shows the number these prominent people by racial category, which is taken from Lynn (2007), and here extended to 2014. Table 1 shows that Europeans have won 0.6 Nobel Prizes and Fields Medals per million, whilst the Northeast Asians have won only 0.03 per million, which is about one twentieth of the Europeans' achievement.

He's now unfortunately inactive on reddit, but was a serious and prolific hbd poster. His ideology is closest to absolute neo-reaction/dark enlightenment. Just to be clear - and to get this in front of anyone thinking this would be some rebuttal against the person - he says he's of the Tribe which he also mentions in one of his Medium articles. I'm unaware of any blog and in fact he has said outside medium he didn't have one. I'm happy to reveal his reddit handle in pm to some users but won't reveal publicly.

Closest twitter accounts on par with cremieux would be humanvarieties but they aren't active on twitter. Seems they are now weekly posting over at their site, however.

Thanks for the info. I'm glad you've created a sub here; this is probably the best of the alt-reddits.
