I have yet to see any adequate evidence supporting your (biased) speculation<br /><br />You seem to rely on genetic essentialist, androcentric and eurocentric biases that are increasingly being challenged nowadays, esp. by marginalized groups who are gaining power. <br /><br />You mention that lack of welfare programs are a factor in the retention of immigrants but these poor, uneducated people's labor was needed at the time as well. These generational poor (whose poverty is no fault of their own, see: the disparity in college admissions and opportunities between the classes) who have occupied some of the lower divisions of labor are now losing their jobs to automation and outsourcing to hyper-exploited foreign workers. We're not living in a meritocracy, Frost. We're under the tyranny of the likes of you: egocentric, psychopathic males who would rather society crumble than abandon their notion of a natural supremacy. <br /><br />Look at the people who follow your blog, why are so many of your fanboys white supremashits <br />Frost? Do you find this incidental?

(2017) study strongly suggests that the genetic capacity for intelligence is declining in the Western world independently of ethnic change. One explanation is that deleterious mutations are no longer being weeded out. Another is differences in fertility between social classes, or simply between fast-life-history and slow-life-history individuals, although Iceland is not as class-stratified as other Western countries. <br /><br />Kong, A., M.L.

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 114(5): E727-E732.<br /><br />Sean,<br /><br />I understand your argument, but I'm not sure that immigrants were necessarily better in the past because of the relatatively higher cost of transport. A stronger factor was probably the lack of social welfare programs. I read somewhere that a quarter of Italian immigrants to the U.S. had to go home because they couldn't make a go of things in their new country.<br /><br />Don,<br /><br />To the best of my knowledge, my last article at The Unz Review appeared on April 4, 2016 "Farewell to Henry". He asked me to come back a few months ago, but the issue of comment moderation seems to be insurmountable.

As a Third World country gets wealthier, more of their population can afford to immigrate, and as Diaspora communities in the West increase there will be relatives already in the Western destination to assist the newly arriving immigrants, thus requiring less and less of an investment to migrate. In the aforementioned way, immigration into the West has an inherent tendency to progressively poorer and lower IQ immigrants. There is also negative assimilation, whereby the second generation of immigrants do worse than their IQ would predict, due to being brought up in a more progressive cultural environment than they are genetically co-evolved with.Seannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-17301419606080071552019-03-22T11:53:19.062-04:002019-03-22T11:53:19.062-04:00Pardon me for putting an unrelated question in thi...Pardon me for putting an unrelated question in this comments section. I haven't seen a general contact for you, so this seemed as good as anything. <br /><br />Recently I have been trying to determine the validity of the idea that increasing mutational load is a factor (or the primary factor) in lowing Western IQ and raising rates of psychological illness, among other dysgenic affects. I suspect you are familiar with the thesis, but allow me to repeat it so we are on the same footing. Previous to the industrial revolution child mortality was at greater than 40%. This mortality was a strong filter for pernicious mutations. Post industrial revolution this filter has been lost and mutations are accumulating generation to generation. Proponents of the theory are Bruce G. Charlton, Edward Dutton and Michael A. Woodley. See this post by Charlton for more complete summary than I have provided: https://charltonteaching.blogspot.com/2014/06/dysgenics-is-mostly-due-to-reduced.html<br /><br />My essential concern, other than a simple pursuit of whatever might be true, is that the mutational load theory is monumentally more pessimistic in terms of what it views as necessary to maintain a high functioning population, or even to avoid progressively dysgenic effects. I would be very interested if you have any thoughts on this subject or might suggest any sources you view as definitive. Thank you for your time.

A major reason is that a growing proportion of "blacks" in Britain are biracial children who prefer to self-identify as "black." Similarly, a growing proportion of "biracials" are children who are only 1/4 of African descent. <br /><br />I've also seen British studies that show high IQ and high academic performance among Igbo children. I'm not surprised.<br /><br />Perhaps it's also time to question the assumption that the term "white" covers a fixed, unvarying reality. A genetic marker for empathy has a higher incidence in “Canadian Caucasians” (50%) than in "American Caucasians” (31-37%). This may reflect differences in participant recruitment or in ethnic mix between the two countries.<br />http://evoandproud.blogspot.com/2015/08/a-genetic-marker-for-empathy.htmlPeter Frosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04303172060029254340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-40151437578056120662019-03-18T12:14:06.040-04:002019-03-18T12:14:06.040-04:00Interestingly, IQ results are very different for b...Interestingly, IQ results are very different for black and half-black Brits and black Bermudians (Robert Lindsay talks about this on greater detail). Studies also show that when Canadians (all races) are tested at American norms rather than Canadian ones, they perform much higher and score higher than American youth. It is perhaps time to consider that there is something unique about American living and culture that depresses IQs below the norms in other first-world economies.Anonymissnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3734925856292601239.post-8687425640900682362019-03-15T08:10:01.120-04:002019-03-15T08:10:01.120-04:00''It's interesting that vast majority ...''It's interesting that vast majority of inventions/discoveries were done by those from Cro-Magnon lineage(Europeans/Euro-Americans}.So Cro-Magnons were gifted with a mutation(s) that could be considered as intelligence genes''<br /><br />A tiny minority, majority of whitey is not quite bright...
