That's a very wide range of cultural environments. They also predict IQ in sub-Saharan Africans, just to a lesser extent.<br /><br />Santocool,<br /><br />Neoliberalism is "right-wing" only for people who exclusively watch "right-wing" media owned by wealthy neoliberals.

That is hardly a deterministic conclusion. I think the grounds for the outrage was the choice of the subject rather than the conclusion reached about it.<br /><br />I don't know about a fake Left the fellow who got Pesta sacked seems to think nation states are irrational entities and cause conflict judging by his research interests. He likely thinks of the concept of race in a similar way. He trumpets his own conference presentation at the International Herbert Marcuse Society. There is a non-state social media empowered Left that genuinely believes in what it is saying, as far as I can see.

To find causal variants, I suspect you need to look for variants that predict high IQ in very different environments like the United State and Nigeria.Pumpkin Personhttp://pumpkinperson.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-87853512476741125952022-10-28T14:26:28.459-04:002022-10-28T14:26:28.459-04:00Yeong,

That country plays a pivotal role in the world and, consciously or not, it exports its culture and fetishes to almost all other countries. Conversely, other countries look up to the U.S. as a leader and imitate whatever it does. Here, in Canada, African Canadians are greatly outnumbered by other "visible minorities," yet you wouldn't know when you look at advertising on TV or in shopping centers.

There isn't as much protest from (or on behalf of) Australian Aboriginals, Romani, Native Americans, certain Hispanic and Asian subgroups who also do poorly on tests. <br />Africans enjoy a status denied to other subgroups (who have arguably suffered worse): overrepresentation in media (black Anne Boleyn, but no Armenian Anne Boleyn), affirmative action. The hyperfocus on black suffering seems a deliberate attempt to overcompensate while ignoring far worse abuses that go on today (the displacement of Indigenous people in the Amazon, the Uighers).yeongnoreply@blogger.com
