Nazis and evolution…

Size irrelevant to intelligence. Its not how much, it is how well it is put together and how well it is used and educated.

Are you confirming the irrelevance of size? :icon-wink:

Any intelligent woman would , oh and so should any intelligent man :wink:

In addition to how well the brain is educated/put together, It’s actually brain to body size ratio that counts, but you’ll have to excuse me, I’m just an ignorant racist/nazi. Obviously negroid body size differs insubstantially from caucasians and mongoloids.

You obviously have a size complex.
Its the connections in the brain and education, not size.

Have you given this subject an ounce of research or thought?

No, you just toe the party line, like a good sheep.

Baaaah

Btw eyes, “cause” does actually have a “cause”… maybe for future reference.

You misinterpreted, I mean to say there’s no cause of causation, no cause of cause and effect themselves, or first cause ala Plato and Aristotle’s God, or the big bang, etc. I realize every cause is an effect of a cause, and every effect is a cause of an effect, in an endless chain.

The survival instinct isn’t latent, it just doesn’t operate at the level of the species. Though some may actively pursue eugenics and super race ideology, the survival instinct I think you are talking about is embedded deeper in an individual’s psyche and is geared more toward the singular organism, not the species. I could be wrong, but this is my thought about your post.

What about a scenario similar to GATTACA, where doctors apply advanced preimplantation genetic diagnosis? Then more people would be able to have children with superior, but still diverse, genetic material. There’s also adoption.

There I was thinking I made a simple point lol

I wasn’t thinking about race and IQ’s, I was more thinking about how plants use various methods to spread their seed ~ they could fertilize and reproduce themselves, indeed all life-forms could have both sexes or reproduce without the need for sex et al. yet that is NOT how evolution has worked, it spreads the seed because it gains greater strength in diversity e.g. one animal/plant could be resistant to a given strain of bacteria, whilst the others not so.

Point being is that it doesn’t matter about brain size and other differences, they are all in some way beneficial and we are all successful survivors! When Europeans went to Africa they were largely week to the disease there, Mesoamericans were week to European diseases.

Strength through diversity!

It is the no’s 1 teleology of evolution.

not to mention that there still hasn’t been any evidence showing “niggers” to be less intelligent

Indeed, its like saying women are less intelligent because they usually have smaller brains. We should perhaps think in terms of how smaller in microchip terms usually means more advanced/faster. Though I wouldn’t prejudice it either way regardless, for me there are just different kinds of brain, intelligences, and adaptabilities.

Hmm didn’t Neanderthals have bigger brains than homo-sapiens? Maybe they were less frontal cortex, of that I don’t have the knowledge.

50cc bigger. that’s significant. Oh, and they were shorter and stockier as well

Right, so bigger can be clumsier, certainly in computing terms it can be, and I’d assume something similar with neuronal connections [dendrites is it].
Hmm Neanderthals did have more of a sloping forehead, so maybe this is indicative of less frontal lobe?

not really. besides, we’re still not entirely sure what happened to them. From mitochondrial genetic information it appears at least plausible that they didn’t die out, but interbred with us until there wasn’t a distinct population of neanderthalensis. Or they died. But in either case they had decent toolmaking and all that. It’s hard to say they were any dumber.

Brain size does not “equal” IQ. Nature has much to do with it according to what I’ve read, but so does nurture. The size of the brain isn’t the only determining factor. You have to consider the brains ability to process information as well. There are examples in the animal kingdom of large, but relatively simple brain structures. Brain size can also be affected by environment and how, or for what, a person uses his brain. It’s probably more accurate to say IQ potential is largely genetic.

For what it’s worth, you’re acting like a fucking clown.

But evolution is not survival of the fittest, it is survival of the well-suited to the environment/niche. The Nazis were not well suited to the environment. Not were they the fittest, given what happened to them. Modern imitators seem to surivive in very restricted niches.

I distinguish between ‘fittest’ and ‘well suited to the environment’ because the first term tends to be seen as qualites not dependant on ongoing relationships, while the latter makes it clear that you have to get along with what it around you, in some broad sense of ‘getting along’. It’s a naive view of Darwinism.

Germany messed up and attacked on two many fronts and made other diplomatic, practical and war related tactical errors. These show weaknesses in the mentality, weaknesses that were punished by defeat. Germans, of course, came out, after a bit, rather well, but Naziism and HItlerism did not. And certainly part of the reason is that it functined so poorly for Germany. In fact it a very easy set of bad traits to track since it led to so much destruction in Germany so fast in historical terms. Hell, in everyday terms.
