Those of us in the HBD blogosphere can sometimes get trapped in our little bubble, and lose touch with what mainstream science thinks about genes and intelligence.
When I was in high school (I’m now in my thirties) I asked a biology teacher if he thought intelligence was genetic and I will never ever forget his response.
“Is this loaded question?” he said with a laugh.
“No,” I replied.
“I believe certain intellectual abilities are genetic, like being good or bad at math, being able to grasp concepts, or having a good or bad memory.”
Teachers know intelligence is a hardwired physical property of the human head because they can see it. I remember in my grade nine math, I overheard our teacher gushing that a South Asian girl had solved a certain geometry problem.
“Very impressive,” he said in his Quebec accent. “There are only two people in this class who can answer that question. You and Veemo” he said, pointing to the South Asian boy in the class.
“You either have the brain to do it or you don’t,” he said.
Although dark caucasoids tend to have IQs below the white mean, Canada got a loft of the best and brightest Third World immigrants (at least in those days) and it’s rumoured in HBD circles that some Indian castes have high IQs.
Meanwhile there was this pale skinned red head in the class who struggled so much to grasp the math. Everyday most of the teacher’s time was monopolized personally tutoring her on the most basic of concepts and she always had this look of complete bewilderment. It was like there was some physical biological genetic block, preventing the concepts from being grasped.
I’m reminded of this brilliant metaphor for intelligence by scholar Douglas Detterman:
a traffic jam. All the modules of the brain have to go through a central hub, and the poorer the connection the lower the intelligence.
At the deepest level of analysis, mental abilities are PHYSICAL abilities.
Genetic abilities.
Several years later we would discover that the red-headed girl was pregnant and the father was black. When she announced this a black classmate went hysterical, screaming:
“Noooooooo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”
A bunch of classmates held him back, racistly assuming he was depraved enough to attack her unborn baby.
He couldn’t stand the thought of her stupidity being passed down to another generation and because her child would be half black, people would blame its low IQ on black genes, not knowing it came from the pale Nordic white mother.
Pumpkin Person 
Nords are da master race hurrr. Dun make fun a dee Nordic Aryan woman.
Most mainstream scientists know the heritability of IQ. They just don’t say anything I know of a good paper on this, will link Ina bit
PP speaking of intelligence, do you know of any studies where IQ was measured and the brain weight was taken after death?
I think there’s only been one study where directly measured IQ was correlated with postmortem brain weight, but there have been studies correlating IQ proxies like occupational status with brain weight
It’s also possible to measure in vivo brain weight
“Peepee” is lying!
Nordics *invented* Geometry!
just like they “invented” antibiotics and “invented” electricity 😉
I kid you not this was an alt-reich talking point!
Not too well versed on this. Iirc Arabs invented geometry but I don’t know of the other 2 you say.
William,

Iirc Arabs invented geometry
No, Greeks did.
yeah, Greeks were Geometry and Trig, Arabs were Algebra, and Newton was Calculus, from what I understand.
Their is a debate over whether “invented” or “discovered” is the correct terminology.
*there*
Whoops thanks for the correction.

Scroll to comments. These people have no idea what they’re talking about. I much prefer commenting here. Smarter people here IMO.
just like they “invented” antibiotics and “invented” electricity
In 1831 electricity became viable for use in technology when Michael Faraday created the electric dynamo
http://www.universetoday.com/82402/who-discovered-electricity/
But it was not until 1928 that penicillin, the first true antibiotic, was discovered by Alexander Fleming
https://www.acs.org/content/acs/en/education/whatischemistry/landmarks/flemingpenicillin.html
Michael Faraday & Alexander Fleming were both Northern Europeans.
You don’t get me, L;
nobody “invented” electricity…
nobody “invented” oxygen
nobody “invented” antibiotics….
nobody “invented” combustion.
Electricity and anti-bodies occur naturally.
This people humamize electricity and anti bodies in the useful wqy. Please don’t take the credit of them just because they were genetically superior…and northern Europeans. 😢
And I agree about “invention”. Great observation, at least for me, I liked.
God invented
HE is Jewish,, omniscient (big brother watching you) and sociopath. And he love you.
of course God is Jewish….
duh!

Of you course I get this, but I didn’t get this was the main point of your comments and I simply assumed that you used quotation marks because you knew the word “invented” wasn’t really appropriate but didn’t knew what to use instead.
Actually I thought your first comment was ironic since Nordics aren’t known for having “invented” geometry or should I say for being “the firsts to use a deductive reasoning to geometry”. And I thought your second comment was following the same logic since you use “just like they” to introduce it.
The title tell to us what mainstream science have to say about genetics & intelligence. The test is showing slight different thing. And what hbb crowd is boring to know is “what mainstream media have to say about intelligence & genes or environment”.
…and a Jewish guru quote..
Text and not test
Here is what Mainstream Science says on intelligence:
Click to access 1997mainstream.pdf
PP- with all due respect, based on that quote, that’s not what your teacher was saying at all.
It sounds like he doesn’t even believe in IQ.
The point is a lot of people observe differences in learning abilities & they believe these to be genetic, even if they don’t believe a single number can capture all of intelligence.
right. I realized that after I read it again.
I do agree that 99% of people believe that.
the comment has absolutely nothing to say about the title fucktard.
still waiting.
What do mainstream science types think about intelligence & genes?
no answer from the 12 year old nigger-ess.
Dude!?!
you still don’t understand that 98% of race-realists are just seeking ways to further heap praise upon the Great White race!?!?!
that they (often times irrationally) hate everyone else, and even some Whites for not being ‘pure enough’
you don’t understand that the few Black or Jewish HBD leaders are “tokens”……..
come on, guy..
Right on the money.
i got 1 child on the way and and I’ll be immediately reproducing again after. R is better than K guys. K is an alternative strategy when R cannot be accomplished.
Also now that I’m reproducing I feel like I owe you guys something it’s because of you all that I made it this far. Specifically pumpkin. Thanks man idk how I can repay you but thanks keep it up.
“R is better than K guys. K is an alternative strategy when R cannot be accomplished.”
3rd world countries say otherwise.
their population is skyrocketing, though, because of the fact that over generations, the effects are compounded, r-selectivity typically means bigger populations regardless of life expectancy differences.
RR- the effects are compounded generation after generation. So regardless of life expectancy changes, r-selected populations would typically be higher.
Of course. Though, r-selection occurs due to having a lower life expectancy as well as numerous other factors.
I suppose the idea is that their will be a disease that comes along, and corrects it, too.
We say this with a Pneumonic Plague outbreak in India in the 1990s, and Ebola in NW Africa in 2014.
Scary!
(AIDs, also?)
Race realist third world countries have the highest fertility their overall life length is shorter but the total amount of genes they reproduce into the next generation is higher than K. Don’t Bias your beliefs just because you were raised by K type parents and are prohibit a k type yourself. Genetically I’m a mixture of R and K but I consciously put an effort to be as R as possible.
Right. Which is why third world countries “win” the game of life due to passing more of their genes on to the next generation.
Damn my spelling
It might be a retarded idea to label your mating patterns. if you’re intelligent find someone that is also intelligent and have lots of babies. I think birth rate has more to do with intellect than actual genetic fertility.
Honestly there has got to be a way to deincentivise population growth in lower IQ individuals without the need for violence.
”Intellect” no have any long term value without rationality…
This text is like PP in Wonderland. Where is the white rabbit??
Need for Cognition is related to higher general intelligence, fluid intelligence, and crystallized intelligence, but not working memory.

My general intelligence is 130 yet WM is 95. I do have a bottleneck when trying to achieve my intellectual goals. In high school, I was in a gifted program for Computers. But I did not understand that Object Oriented Programming (OOP) was a hierarchy structure of operations. Even now my WM makes it feel too much to learn the hierarchy of Java because I have nothing I want to do that fits a hierarchy. Actually I do want to make an avatar but that would take me years. I would have to reinvent all the tools made in the 80’s and by the time I did virtual reality and artificial intelligence would be solved. I know how a wire mesh works and polygons but I would experience to much stress making those tools. Stress is why I don’t do many intellectual things. Frustration and sadness. I can’t keep all the steps in my head. The problem of A.I. is the poverty of the virtual environments they live in. We have almost all the understanding of the brain but education is not taken into consideration. The human body is plastic and fluid. Virtual reality has more potential to be that way. A.I. needs a world where it can be self-sustaining / self-regulating. Optimal feedback in a rich virtual environment where it can learn the consequences of its actions.

I have good long term mentalistic memory. So called socially inconvenient memory because you remember things people said in the past, in other words, you cam see their contradictions.
Do you have better mentalistic or mechanicistic long term memory??
“mentalistic memory”
I have Aphantasia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aphantasia
“mechanicistic long term memory”
Kenithetic Intelligence?
I would say it is average.
When I solve I problem I remember how I did so.
My Perceptual reasoning is 121

My best memory ability would be Semantic Memory
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semantic_memory
Based on mentalism mechanicism imprinted brain theory
Mentalist memory : Memorize stuff related to the people, very similar to autobiographical memory, if it’s not the same.
Mentalistoc memory would more or less crystallized knowledge.
You no have imagination**
I’m also good at semantic memory but very specialized, i mean, i remember correct but very restrictly about internalized/accepted facts…
i don’t know how comparative good i’m in semantic memory.
i have factoid-o-phasia.
