Homosexuality has a low heritability (22% as per one twin registry study). There is low twin concordance when one twin is gay (<25% of the time). It's unlikely to be primarily genetic in origin. The most likely explanation for (male) homosexuality remains a pathogen.
Homosexuality is unlikely to be genetic in origin. It obviously reduces the reproductive success of the individual, and the kin selection arguments require implausible assumptions. It’s unlikely any kind of protective gay uncle effect would outweigh the reproductive benefit of having another kid who reproduces. If you have 3 kids who survive to adulthood, for it to be advantageous for one to be gay they’d have to boost the number of surviving children of their siblings by over 50%. It’s more likely that homosexuality is the result of hormonal abnormalities in the womb than that it is a genetic adaption.

Actually no Aella, Northwestern Europeans (and likely East Asians) went through centuries of Clarkian selection, where the wealthiest farmers had the most surviving offspring. The “bad boys” killed each other off or were killed by the state. Female preference is complex
your daughters and mothers have this sexual selection hammered into their bones because our female ancestors who went for the nice guys instead of bad boys ended up dying or having children that died. You're asking women to reject a survival instinct

Look WEIRDs, if you’re going to import low IQ, clannish, and violent immigrants, and then suppress all info on the increased burden of crime, welfare, and housing costs, they bring, where do *you* think this leads? God bless Denmark for giving us what little data we do have.
Yes. Denmark is among at most a few places conducting the basic yet crucial analyses of the impact of immigrants in Europe. It doesn’t make any sense to me to let in millions of African and Muslim immigrants without even trying to examine their effects. What we find is that each Muslim or African immigrant is very costly: about $20,000 per person per year on average in net fiscal cost. Still, many politicians across Europe claim that we need these immigrants to support the increasing burden of pensioners. This obviously makes no sense. How could one financial burden help pay for another? This analyzis has now been replicated in Finland and in the Netherlands, with very similar results. Denmark has also conducted a study showing that nearly all (88%) of the increase in housing prices this century is caused by immigration. We have also carried out research showing that Muslim and African immigrants perform worse in school and remain at this same lower level in subsequent generations. We followed a group of Palestinian immigrants and observed their outcomes decades later. About one in four had been sentenced to prison for a serious crime, and about four in five were on welfare, counting only those still of working age. Next, I am working on obtaining other data that no other European country has been able to publish, but that Denmark may be able to: violent assault rapes committed against strangers. Our statistics show that Muslim and African immigrants are extremely overrepresented in rape cases, by a factor of 6-7x. However, this number includes various types of rape and may significantly underestimate the share of violent assault rapes committed by Muslim or African immigrants. The risk of stranger assault rape is one of the main reasons for women being less safe when walking in the streets across Europe. Women deserve to know how much our immigration policies are affecting their safety. But like the very other basic analyses, no one is doing them.

Not quite. Large swaths of the world are low trust and low crime (e.g., Southern Europe, China). WEIRD high trust is something else beyond simply low criminality
“High trust” is just a euphemism for low crime. It implies we all have to trust and love one another. Making that happen is beyond the reach of government. But it can clamp down on crime, and then we can have nice things. And anyway the idea that it has to precede abundance is wrong. YIMBY is good to do anyway.

“Character traits are HIGHLY heritable. A weak woman will give you weak children, and no, her weak character won't only be passed down to her daughters while somehow magically bypassing her sons” Absolutely correct.
Really surprised by the replies to this post. Apparently, lots of folks have an outright HOSTILE reaction to the idea of a non-hierarchical marriage. I don't think all those guys fantasizing about highly unequal marriages — with some even saying the husband should be the wife's boss (yes, boss) — have thought things through. Character traits are HIGHLY heritable. A weak woman will give you weak children, and no, her weak character won't only be passed down to her daughters while somehow magically bypassing her sons — that's not how genetics work (and it certainly doesn't sound like a desirable outcome anyway). If you want to raise servants, marry a servant. If, on the other hand, you want to build a strong dynasty that will give birth to a whole new culture, you need a strong barbarian queen at your side. Over six years in, and every day, I still become more and more certain of the fact that I've made the perfect choice.

A woman’s orgasmicity (“orgasmicness”?) is heritable. Some women simply have an easier time orgasming than others. Some of you should already know this.
I’m sorry but men can’t be “bad” at sex they just have to hit the spot enough times. So yeah size matters a little depending on the height of the woman & her torso length. Other than that there is no skill required. The reason women don’t orgasm is because they are too in their head and never surrender themselves to nature or become one with their body.

The Laws of Behavioral Genetics: a primer, and thread 🧵 The five laws of behavioral genetics are: 1. All human behavioral traits are heritable 2. The effect of being raised in the same family is smaller than the effect of the genes. 3. A substantial portion of the variation in complex human behavioral traits is not accounted for by the effects of genes or families. 4. A typical human behavioral trait is associated with very many genetic variants, each of which accounts for a very small percentage of the behavioral variability. 5. All phenotypic relationships are to some degree genetically mediated or confounded. What do these mean? Let’s find out…
When fatherlessness happens via a death of the father, child outcomes are pretty similar to two-parent families. This indicates the issue is not "fatherlessness" itself.

*STATUS.* This man gets it, and you should too. Nothing about the world makes sense until you understand STATUS. People don’t care about their absolute wealth. People care about their *status.* As status is relative, it is necessarily zero-sum. For me to have higher status, someone(s) else must have lower status out of necessity. Increasing total wealth of a society can’t increase everyone’s status, obviously. Men crave status because it attracts women and makes life better for their children. Women crave status because it makes life better for their children. There are many different kinds of status. Status is multidimensional. You can be a king in one realm and a lowly man in another. But we all aware (even subconsciously) of our overall status and everyone else’s. Hell, Judith Rich Harris (yes the anti-nurture one) even proposed the existence of a mental module dedicated entirely to purpose of monitoring our status, which she called the “status system”.
The most important sociopolitical lesson I've learned — though it took me the longest to grasp — is this: 1) Satisfaction is substantially derived from relative status. 2) Politics is primarily about self-interested attempts to redistribute status. 3) Status is roughly zero-sum. Material wealth and technological progress don't make people happy. Subjective well-being isn't rooted in having a longer life expectancy or a god-like computing device in your pocket. Such progress may feel meaningful to those who experience a transition, but once people are born into it, it becomes their baseline. Fish don’t know they’re wet. As a result, politics devolves into a game of redistributing status while disguising these efforts as being "better for everyone." But pay attention and you'll notice: nearly no one holds political beliefs that would lower their own status or the status of their coalition relative to others. This realization led me to consider what actually "grows the status pie", or otherwise allow humans to escape zero-sum competition: 1) Lower-status Americans can feel higher status by comparing themselves to worse-off foreigners. 2) People reduce their focus on relative status when faced with existential threats. The most successful world religions and cultures promote practices that discourage zero-sum status competition. "Do not covet" and "love thy neighbor" are both examples of this. Additionally, America experienced its greatest eras while facing or fearing foreign adversaries. Groups that manage to escape zero-sum status games tend to outcompete those that don’t. But humans will always retreat to status redistribution games, because relative social status is the primary driver of the mating market.

Height is correlated with latitude, as is brain size
GAM plots of latitude and height across the hunter-gatherer societies in Binford's dataset. Individuals are taller near the poles, which seems consistent with Bergmann's rule about larger body size in colder climates (though height isn't a perfect proxy for total body size).

Karl Marx was the prototypical Wordcel. He couldn’t do fairly basic math so he wrote endlessly complaining about the problem with math. Do things make more sense now?
Marx wasn't skilled at math. He didn't contribute anything meaningful and struggled to understand what a limit is. He wrote 100s of pages going in circles. This isn't exactly controversial.

Yes. Assimilation is a myth, and the Roma really highlight that fact.
Once again, as I and others have said here before, *assimilation is myth*—an illusion at best, brought on by selective migration/retention, superficial cultural changes (e.g., language, dress), and immigrants changing the receiving culture.

Dan Freedman was an anthropologist. For his PhD dissertation he found that puppies of different dog breeds were noticeably different from near the beginning. He then sought to see if the same was true of humans, and lo and behold, it was.

WEIRD whites are actually some of the *least* racist people on the planet. As the WEIRD world gets less WEIRD, it’s going to get a hell of a lot more racist. As I mentioned in my podcast, a lot of the discourse you see here you’d like to attribute to white right-wingers actually comes from non-WEIRD world. Ironically enough, racism is diversifying.
A race war has now erupted between *checks notes* Indian and black Twitter

Two day old white would be aversive to being placed in certain positions. Chinese babies of the same age were fine and just adapted when placed in these positions. White and black babies both would fight when a cloth was placed over their noses. E. Asian babies simply breathed through their mouths without a fuss.

Sounds like a you problem then. Evidence shows that children raised by gay parents turn out the same as those raised by straight parents. (Because parenting doesn’t really do much long term in general.)

I don’t think that’s the reason people say these upon their deathbeds It’s more like it’s easy to say these things after the fact at the end of the rat race. You feel differently in the thick of the race.

Innovation in the modern era—the Industrial and Scientific Revolutions—were products of a small region of geographic space. To this day, patent production remains concentrated in the same places in Europe. The NW European offshoots, particularly the United States, continued this tradition.

This isn’t really true. What actually happens most of the time is that women sleep with their “short-term” option hoping something long-term comes of it. Of course, if often doesn’t. See @datepsych

Worth seeing again: racial differences in behavior are visible from shortly after birth. See Dan Freedman’s babies.
Did you know that racial differences in human behavior are evident from shortly after birth? And that we knew this from the 1960s? White, Black, E. Asian, Native American, Australian Aborigine babies have distinct responses to certain stimuli. The story of Dan Freedman's babies

There is more to success than IQ. Personality traits, such as conscientiousness, also matter a great deal. But these can also be screened relatively easily and reliably with a simple test. We could replace most higher ed with just two tests.
Modern college exists because it’s basically illegal to screen for job candidate intelligence using simple IQ tests. So kids have to waste 4+ years and go into crazy debt to pay for their own indoctrination because Boomers hate IQ.

Two day old white babies would try to walk when placed upright on their feet. Navajo babies exhibited no such leg movement. And Aboriginal babies exhibited more leg movement and stepping than any other group. Abo's exhibited the best head movement when placed on their bellies, doing as well as one month old Euro babies.

Is the decline of rock music related to the decline of the white share of California's population? Well there is this. Heavy metal specifically is a very, very WEIRD thing.
