I created a list of the 100 most influential people on the planet. Time magazine already has a similar list, but theirs is not ranked, and is so absurdly politically correct, incoherent and celebrity focused that it’s not credible. Forbes publishes a much better list of the most powerful people in the World, but as Condi Rice once said, power means nothing unless you can turn it into influence.
So I made a list of people with real impact; people without whom the World would be a very different place. It could be a good impact or a bad impact, and while some on the list have been a force for good, many are far too evil.
Measuring influence is more art than science, but I tried to be objective. I polled my readers on who the most influential people are but most of the folks they picked were just those with forms of power (political, financial, cultural, religious), and not actual historical impact.
I realized people are much better at knowing what has influenced them, then who has influenced them, so I found a Pew poll asking Americans what events of their lifetime had most influenced the country. The results were as follows:

Because the poll was taken the summer before Trump was elected, it was a bit outdated, so I decided to assign Trump’s election the same importance as the Pew poll had assigned Obama’s (a score of 40%), since Trump’s kind of the anti-Obama. Of course a poll of Americans about events affecting America is U.S.-centric, however America’s been the World’s most important country for as long as anyone can remember, so any truly important event in recent World history should affect America.
The next step was to decide who had most influenced these events. I used a scale of one to four, so if one was extremely important to the event, they got a 4 for that event, and if they were only slightly important, they got a 1. If not important at all, they got a 0. These numbers were then multiplied by the importance of the event as measured by the poll and summed across events to determine each person’s impact score.
So for example, if someone got a 4 for the Vietnam war (which has an importance of 20% according to the Pew poll) but only a 1 for the moon landing (which has an importance of 17%), and 0 for all other important events, their impact score would be 97, because 4*20+1*17=97.
In cases where a person’s influence on an event was a matter of conspiracy theory (i.e. JFK assassination) I tried to strike a balance between the conspiracy theory (if it was plausible) and the skeptics.
My list was inspired by the great Jewish author Michael Hart’s book The 100, except his was the most influential people of all time. This list is The Living 100: The 100 most influential LIVING people of all time.

[Based on feedback from readers, this list was revised on Feb 4 – 5, 2018]
here are two [N word redacted by pp, feb 4, 2018] who agree with me.
cue the video to 22:37. Trumpland: Kill All Normies (2018)
I wonder if Bill Gates should be a bit higher in the list. But since only 4 per event in your list- it is understandable
Gates is a great example of the difference between power and influence. He has incredible financial power because he’s been the richest person to ever live, however he doesn’t use that power to do anything except save African lives and sadly, Africa is not considered that important by the World’s most important country.
Of the 12 most important lifetime events (including Trump’s election), Gates only influenced the tech revolution, where he had maximal impact (4 out of 4 on my scale), but the tech revolution was only considered important by 22% of Americans, and so Gates’s impact score is only 88 (22% multiplied by 4)
If Gates decides to use his money for political causes that matter to the most important country, he could move way up on future editions of the list, but his IQ is so high that what matters to normal Americans doesn’t matter to him
Or he is a fuckin retard and spends his money increasing barbarian reproduction rates?
after a [N word redacted by pp, feb 4, 2018] gave me ebola and filariasis i thought of this song.
Oprah is number 4 and Vladmir Putin isn’t even on the list? PP evidently doesn’t follow politics often.
Putin narrowly missed the list. If the Russian collusion thing is ever proven, he will qualify for next year’s edition
Vladmir Putin is number one in the Forbes list, he should at the very least be in the top 100 if you’re trying to rank the most influential people.
Maybe, but the Forbes list measures power, not influence per se. Depends how strong the correlation between them is. To use a concrete analogy, you could physically be extremely powerful (able to punch through any wall), but if you never punch a wall, your physical power had no influence (impact).
Putin has changed the entire course of history, you should give him a spot on your list instead of sticking to your guns now that you’ve published it.
I’m willing to make changes to the list but you should read how i actually calculated the impact scores before jumping to the conclusion putin belongs
Then given you’re using the Pew Poll, perhaps you should change the title of the list from “The 100 most influential people on the planet” to “The 100 most influential people upon America”, given ‘upon’ does not mean ‘in’.
America’s the most important country in the world by far so if you haven’t influenced America you generally haven’t had an important influence on the world
Of course liberals argue putin played an important role electing trump but I’m not convinced
I disagree and believe figures like Putin have had a large influence upon the world, especially in recent years, though I doubt I’ll change your mind.
Realistically putin does belong on the list but i like to follow a standard formula to make it more objective, even if the formula is flawed.
Who would you remove from the list to make room for putin?
I’m Algerian so I know very little about most of the pop culture figures you’ve listed here. Given Russia’s influence in the Syrian civil war, I’d presume he’d at least be in the same realm as Assad in terms of influence given he’s the one that kept Assad in power, even if you don’t believe he had any influence in Trump’s election. He is the number 1 on Forbe’s list.
Valid points. Using the same logic Assad was included, Putin has been added.
oprah much higher than google? this list is a joke
Google guys have more power than Oprah, but that doesn’t mean they have more influence. You have to use your power to change history (as Oprah did when she swung an election in favour of Obama) to have influence. Some accused google of altering search engine results to help Hillary get elected, but even if that’s true, it didn’t work, so they need to try harder.
The Pb with the world influential is that you don’t know how much it is about the past, the present or the future. Choosing the average American ranking makes your ranking an « having had influence » with those Vietnamese …
Do you have Asian (Viêt Nam Laos or Thai, or Chinese diaspora) origins Pumpkin ?
Not sure I understand your comment about American ranking. Ideally I’d like a poll that surveyed the whole world, but I couldn’t find one of those so I figured a poll of Americans would suffice since they’re the most important people and influence is about having an important effect on history. The perfect measure of influence would be if people could visit many parallel universes that were exactly the same as our own, except in each one, a single person had never been born. If the parallel world where George W. Bush was never born was judged to be the most different from our own by the people visiting, then GWB is indeed the most influential.
Btw I like your method . It’s clever .
Btw I like your method . It’s clever .
Thank you! Coming from a man of your intelligence, that means a lot!
it was diagnosed when i was in ZA. it was a white female doctor who pulled out all the skinny black worms she could. they had spread from my left hand to my tongue. not from my putting my hand in my mouth but through my blood.
now i’ll have to take medication for at least 7 years to make sure all the worms are dead.
i wonder if a high potassium diet would have the same effect. maybe rr knows.
it’s super gross knowing that your body is full of worms. full of virus or bacteria isn’t as gross.
the ZA doctor was very pretty. i thought she was australian, but australians don’t move to ZA. odd.
Mugabe, where does that story come from???
I question the validity of this math, how the hell is tina fey more influential than Bill gates? He created the very same device you’re using to make this claim, talk about ironic.
If Gates never came along steve Jobs would have monopolized the personal computer market so no big difference.
But if Tina fey hadn’t turned sarah Palin into a joke, john McCain would have been elected and the U.S, would have went to war with Iran & history would have been very different
There’d also be no president trump since trump’s rise was largely a backlash against a black president
Either way, whoever invented the PC is more influential the nearly anyone on that list.
Sarah palin being sarah palin is what cost her the election, Tina fey had nothing to do with it. im not sure where you got that retarded Idea. Even then, MCain was destined to lose. People were far too excited to have a black guy as president for that to happen. If you don’t recall an actor just got elected, so the average voter obviously isn’t objective in their selection.
Trump won because of the internet, as did Obama. They were the 2 first presidents to effectively use social media to their advantage. Obama simply used it to look cool and reach to younger audiences, while trump’s henchman allowed the Right to finally learn how to troll and act smug like liberals, which gave their proponents a false sense of intellectualism.
It’s kind of disgusting how the minority can affect the livelihood of the majority to such a disproportionate extent.
Sarah palin being sarah palin is what cost her the election, Tina fey had nothing to do with it.
So you don’t think clips of Palin being mocked by Tina fey being played on the
news everyday and going viral on youtube had anything to do with it?
As Roseanne Barr once said, the pen might be mightier than the sword, but comedy’s mightier than both
“So you don’t think clips of Palin being mocked by Tina fey being played on the
news everyday and going viral on youtube had anything to do with it?”
It definitely wasn’t the major cause. Have you ever actually heard Sarah Palin speak?
When she gives a prepared speech she’s great but when goes off script she sounds like a moron & Tina Fey made sure americans never forgot the latter.
Using a scale of 0 to 4, how important do you think Tina Fey was to electing Obama?
0 = not at all important
1 = slightly important
2 = important
3 = very important
4 = extremely important
“Using a scale of 0 to 4, how important do you think Tina Fey was to electing Obama?”
.5
Another thing is that most comedians are liberal, and they were definitely putting trump’s dumbass on blast every day. SNL, ERB, Southpark, Simpsons, and many stand up artists did the same, yet he’s currently sitting in Office as we speak.
Good points. I still think you’re underestimating her impact (most people think Palin said “I can see Russia from my house” because that was part of Fey’s act) but I probably overestimated so I’ve downgraded her on the list.
Have you ever actually heard Sarah Palin speak?
Oh My God – I can see Russia from my house.
Larry The Cable Guy Spoken betters Anglish than Palin.
Pumpkin is right. Tina Fey is more popular than Bill Gates. Its obvious. Once again, Melo’s misogynistic sexist views are clouding his judgement. Are you saying Tina Fey isn’t as funny as Bill Gates just because she is a woman? In my opinion female comedians are just as funny, if not MORE FUNNY, than male, bi, and transexual comedians.
There are many great female comedians in the world, just as funny as males, but they are not allowed to rise to the level of Tina Fey, because they aren’t Zionists 😉
This list is retarded. A joke. And doesn’t pass the common sense test. Robert Rubin tells george bush what to do, but hes not even on the list. Hahahah. What a joke.
No Cheney told Bush what to do and the neocons told Cheney what to think.
Who is Bill Clinton and George Bushes boss?
You’ve been watching too many movies. The President of the United States doesn’t have a boss, unless you think Trump has a boss? What the President does have is various constituencies he must serve such as his donors, the media, and his base. But the biggest influence on Bush and Cheney were the neocons, who were employees, not bosses, but who used their high verbal and social IQs to manipulate Bush and Cheney.
You think they convinced them that Israel deserved middle east supremacy or they told them that Israel deserved middle east surpremacy?
No they’re not that stupid. They probably just told them that Iraq was a threat to the U.S. and that Bush could be a hero by bringing democracy to the Middle East and Cheney being an oil man probably figured Halliburton could profit so he was talked into it too.
Very naive.
What part?
But philosopher is right that rubin belongs on the list, but not for telling bush what to do, but for causing the financial crisis.
Unfortunately americans didn’t name the financial crisis as an important event so I’d have to break my own rules to put rubin on the list & that would be unscientific
Okay I found a way to add Rubin while still being true to my methods.
Oprah is no.4?! Hahahaha. Talk about fan worship.
[Disclaimer : RuralRuski might think he is an honest seeker for the Truth and objectiveness, but subconsciously he is just promoting his genetic interests 🙂 ]
Poor Gorbachev – banned and hated by most in Russia, forgotten in the West. That’s sad…I am serious
Gorbachev was actually number 101 on my list. He missed the cutoff by one person.
Interesting to know that, PP, thanks
I decided the list was incomplete without Gorbachev so I added him.
So long as I breathe he will never be forgotten.
today sailer makes the same point i did a few days ago.
maybe mlb is anti-black, but the nfl and nba are anti-white. so there’s a moneyball arbitrage. belichick has exploited this. interesting that belichick is almost a preppy.
He enrolled at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, for a postgraduate year, with the intention of improving his grades and test scores to be admitted into a quality college.[10]
but belichick’s dad came from struthers ohio, the bad part of ohio, hence the slavic name. so niggers can accuse belichick of racism.
eastern ohio, eastern kentucky, west virginia…these are white and poor.
“racist” and “deplorable” is corporate democrat talk for “poor white”.
Fenoopy’s reaction is interesting. Black people want to believe that all homo sapiens are the same at the brain level but have no problem saying erectus was dumber than sapiens.
A lot of North Africans use the same argument. They will say all Caucasoids are the same in abililties but have no problem saying Negroids are a different kind with a more primitive brain.
The same could be say of the fat clumsy guy in the winning soccer team who will not hesitate calling members of the other team loosers.
Even within a single family there are vast differences in abilities among the members. But the failure of the family will be proud to claim he is the brother of some celebrity and enjoying all the benefits while the successful one will most likely want to hide his failed brother.
Everybody want to be in the winning team, that’s human nature.
I think it’s you who has a bias, given you’ll accept the SSA average is 85 in America, but 65 in SSA, but not that the Berbers in the village towns Lynn measured could have a genetic IQ higher than the real average IQ of 84 they were measured at. Given your anecdotes, it’s obvious you’ve had plenty of negative experiences with North Africans in France which is understandable.
Fenoopy if you believe in HBD you should believe MENA are perhaps both smarter than blacks but not as smart as whites.
MENA are an older race than whites with less exposure to the ice age & more inbreeding. They’re smarter than Lynn implies but likely still below whites
Berbers Lynn’s measured were Moroccans who live in Belgium (average IQ 85) and Egyptian students (average IQ 81).
I believe these figures don’t represent the full potential of Berbers but as PP says there is no reason to think they would match Europeans.
Qatar’s average IQ is 78 though they are Arabs mixed with some Horn Africans, not Berbers.
“Fenoopy if you believe in HBD you should believe MENA are perhaps both smarter than blacks but not as smart as whites.”
MENA is an unscientific term at best, given the MENA region composed from so many different ethnic groups who’s only relation to each other is that they were once part of the Ummayad Caliphate.
“MENA are an older race than whites with less exposure to the ice age & more inbreeding. They’re smarter than Lynn implies but likely still below whites”
MENA isn’t a race and the subject of my interest is North Africa specifically, excluding Egypt, given Egyptians are a race of their own.
“I believe these figures don’t represent the full potential of Berbers but as PP says there is no reason to think they would match Europeans. ”
You haven’t given me reason enough not to think otherwise.
The genetic distance between Berbers and Spanish people is just too low for their to be any significant gap in genetic IQ between the two populations.
I don’t see any difference in appearance between Algerian and Spanish people either.
Without a study on 2nd generation immigrants, you can’t make the claim that Berbers are less intelligent than other Europeans given the genetic studies. There is almost no difference between them and other Mediterraneans.
I am not referring to Mozabites and Sahawari who are very genetically distant and live isolated in the desert, but coastal Berbers like Kabyle and Rif.
MENA isn’t a race and the subject of my interest is North Africa specifically, excluding Egypt, given Egyptians are a race of their own.
Even ignoring the concept of race, there’s a worldwide negative correlation between IQ and skin darkness, so you’d expect MENA to average IQs a bit lower than whites for that reason alone, especially when you factor in the higher rates of inbreeding.
While there might be enormous variation between different MENA groups, collectively we’d expect them to average between blacks and whites, because they’re between blacks and whites phenotypically, geographically, chronologically, economically and culturally
“The genetic distance between Berbers and Spanish people is just too low for their to be any significant gap in genetic IQ between the two populations.”
Using this logic, more variation within than between races should mean there would be no differences in ‘IQ genes’ (whatever that is). (This is a specific argument from Michael Hardimon.)
Results are given for three studies of samples tested with the Standard Progressive Matrices (SPM) in Morocco. The first consisted of 85 children (boys, girls; M age = 8.5 yr.) in the town of Kenitra and obtained a British IQ of 74. The second consisted of 202 adults (92 men, 110 women; M age = 26 yr.) in four cities and obtained a British IQ of 81. The third consisted of 1,177 secondary school children (723 boys, 454 girls; ages 12–17 yr.) in a rural area and obtained a British IQ of 73.3. It is proposed that the best estimate of the Moroccan IQ can be obtained as the average of the three results, giving an IQ of 76.
Actually it seems that Berbers in rural areas score in the 70s. It’s the ones in Holland and Belgium who score in the 80s.
“The genetic distance between Berbers and Spanish people is just too low for their to be any significant gap in genetic IQ between the two populations.”
2 brothers can be vastly different in IQ. You have an IQ of 110, a chinese guy have an IQ of 110. Does it make the chinese guy genetically closer to you than your brother who have an IQ of 90 ?
RR, please clarify what you mean?
“2 brothers can be vastly different in IQ. You have an IQ of 110, a chinese guy have an IQ of 110. Does it make the chinese guy genetically closer to you than your brother who have an IQ of 90 ?”
Your logic is bad. The genetic average IQ of a racial group is the way it is precisely because of the similarity of their genetics.
“Actually it seems that Berbers in rural areas score in the 70s. It’s the ones in Holland and Belgium who score in the 80s.”
You believe all the people featured in that video have a genetic average IQ of 76? This is almost clinically retarded.
“Similarly in France, regional differences in intelligence in the mid-1950s obtained from 257, 000 18 year old male conscripts into the armed forces were highest in those from the Paris region and the lowest in rural Corsica. by Montmollin (1958). Thus, the sample in the present study from the rural region in Morocco is likely to be an underestimate of the Moroccan IQ.”
You’re twisting the study to fit your argument. The study itself professes to be an underestimate.
“They found an IQ of 88 for the second generation, who spoke Dutch and had been educated in the Dutch school system. They published their results in the 2004 European Journal of Personality.”
The best estimate for Moroccan tribes like Souss and Rif is approximately 90 IQ points in the western world. About as smart as an Irish and probably with similar;y violent, belligerent behavior. Moroccans do have a reputation for this and their homicide rate is double Algeria’s.
As for Algeria’s IQ, I don’t know. No studies in all of history, it seems. Libya seems to be even worse than Morocco, though if this is due to the civil war i don’t know, given the country was one of the safest in Africa under Ghaddafi’s rule.
I forgot that 90 IQ estimate I mentioned is only valid for Tcharmil. The south of Morocco has 25% SSA admixture. Algeria has much less by far.
Algerians have a reputation for being much more aggressive and hot-blooded than Moroccans and they proudly claim it.
Some say that’s primarly Algerians who give north african immigrants a bad reputation.
I don’t even understand it because I don’t speak French.
Meanwhile on my dad’s TV.
Your opinion is overwhelmingly influenced by your negative experience with French-Algerians so I’ll end it here and we can agree to disagree.
Honestly, it’s sad how they’re behaving.
A remark on Genetic distance.
“Africa north of the Sahara, from a zoological point of view, is now, and has been since early Tertiary times, a part of Europe. This is true both of animals and of the races of man.The Berbers of north Africa to-day are racially identical with the Spaniards and south Italians.” Madison Grant, The Passing of the Great Race, Scribner’s sons, 1916, p. 137
“Berbers are undoubtedly the descendants of the races known to the Greeks and Romans under the generic name of Libyans. The Kabyles of the hills between Algiers and Bougie, and the Shawia of the Aures Mountains are very similar to one another and may be taken as typical Berbers.” Alfred Cort Haddon, The Races of Man and Their Distribution (1924), University Press, 1924, p. 36
“Part of my time had been passed of what is called “La Grande Kabylie”, that portion of the province of Algiers which is inhabited by he Kabyles, the most direct descendants of the Ancient Libyans. They are strange people these Kabyles, both in customs and physical aspects.” Daniel Garrison Brinton, The Ethnologic affinities of the Ancient Etruscans, Proceedings, American Philosophical Society, vol. 26, 1889, p. 504
“Of the Berbers there is much good to be said. Among them the virtues of honesty, hospitality, and good-nature are conspicuous. It is not their misfortune alone that the lowlands know them no more ; not their misfortune only that Mohammedanism has debarred them from entering as they would otherwise have entered on the path of European progress and liberality : it is the misfortune of the whole civilised world. Descendants of a mighty race whose culture once spread from the Atlantic to the Red Sea and the Hauran, from Crete to Timbuctoo and the Soudan, there are still to be found among them the vestiges of the arts and sciences, of the spirit of conquest, of the capacity for self-government which, if developed, would make them again a great nation.” Melville William Hilton-Simpson, Among the Hill Folk of Algeria (1921), Read Books, 2007, p. 4
Can the Arab-Negroid mixes of Morocco be considered full Berber? They are not, not by any circumstance, given the country has up to 25% Negroid admixture, not counting the Arab.
North Africans appear to be the dysgenic brothers of Southern Europeans. Substantially lower IQ and very high inbreeding. Cousin’s marriage is up to 50% in Algeria I think.
Though I can mostly differentiate between the average Spaniard and the average Algerian. European-looking Algerians are not the rule.
Why is in-breeding used as an argument given Jews are arguably the most in-bred people on earth?
The theory is that Jews have practiced a form of unconscious eugeunics for intelligence but in return they have some specific genetic diseases.
I don’t think Jews are the most inbred population on Earth, do you have any source for this claim ?
“North Africans appear to be the dysgenic brothers of Southern Europeans. Substantially lower IQ”
You are actually right in a practical sense.
Moroccans for example are only 73% Berber. Any populations mixing with Africans has a dysgenic effect. North Africans today are mixed depending on location. Pure-blooded Berbers are still very much the brothers of Southern Europeans, though only a few Berber tribes are unmixed today.
So yes, you may be right that the immigrants and majority of North Africans today are less intelligent, the cause of this being the mixed nature of their genetics. Those North Africans who are still fully Berber genetically are likely to be identical in intelligence to Southern Europeans however.
Keep in mind there’s a big difference between the terms ‘North African’ and ‘Berber’. North Africans are overall less intelligent than Europeans. As for unmixed Berbers, that’s an entirely new discussion.
“we’d expect them to average between blacks and whites, because they’re between blacks and whites phenotypically, geographically, chronologically, economically and culturally”
It turns out most MENA are actually mixed Caucasoid and Negroid. They may originally have been entirely Caucasoid at one point, so it seems they are indeed between blacks and whites. As their admixture is still low (on average 15-25%) they are likely to have a genetic IQ of around 95, aka higher than mixed-race people in the USA, unless there’s another factor I haven’t considered.
North Africans overall have something like 15% of negroid admixture. If North Africans were simply regular white european persons who happen to have a bit of negro admixture they would have a “genetic IQ” of 97.
3 reason why I think it’s lower than that :
1) very high inbreeding
2) bad environment and culture
3) an unmixed berber is actually NOT a regular white european person, they probably have undergone different selection pressures, they have diverge genetically to some degree. They are in the same group as Arabs and Horn Africans, not Europeans. They are an older, more primitive form of the caucasian race.
I don’t think a bit of negro admixture is the main cause of failure or low IQ. You can’t always blame black people when something goes wrong. A lot of quadroons look almost perfectly white and act white.
Moroccans have more black admixture than Algerians but they have an higher IQ.
What’s the known genetic differences between these 2 populations except some negro admixture ? Inbreeding. Algerians are much more inbred than Moroccans.
Black admixture explain a bit but it can’t be the main cause as you saw it yourself doing the math.
This guy is probably the smartest Berber I have came across on the Internet. Clearly not your typical “white berber” . It wouldn’t surprised me if his IQ is +140. He have a pretty large head.
He have very good argument against islam. He is a pro-west zionist and I don’t think he ever mentioned genetic differences.
But he make a great job debunking islam.
“an unmixed berber is actually NOT a regular white european person, they probably have undergone different selection pressures, they have diverge genetically to some degree. They are in the same group as Arabs and Horn Africans, not Europeans. They are an older, more primitive form of the caucasian race.”
I disagree entirely, I’m completely indistinguishable from any other Mediterranean person and so is my entire family. My family members are 100% pure Berber without a single drop of Arab or Negro blood. All my female cousins are blonde and blue or green eyed.
That man looks very brown and Arab looking. These kind of Chaoui even consider themselves Arab.
Quite frankly, if they don’t look like this, they’re probably mixed.
“They are in the same group as Arabs and Horn Africans, not Europeans.”
Come on man, I even showed you the genetic evidence. They’re the genetic brothers of Sicilians and Iberians people. Why’re you claiming they’re in the same group as Semitics? Those brown Arab looking ones are always mixed. They get browner the further east you go, and blacker the further west you go. Algeria is probably the only place to find some unmixed Berbers and in the isolated mountains of Morocco where Negros and Arabs do not go.
“Moroccans have more black admixture than Algerians but they have an higher IQ.”
There has never been a study on unmixed Berbers, or Algerians for that matter, so your bias is showing through now. You’re no longer giving any scientific evidence for your claims so I’ve got nothing more to add for now.
You can find it on the Internet yourself. Morocco’s average IQ is 85 and Algeria is 83. I don’t see the point of flooding my comment with links when you could simply google it.
One thing you are saying is not true. North Africans have very little arab blood, even less than subsaharan blood. Something like 2%.
As for Iberians you are right. But the important thing you fail to mention is that their berber admixture came later, from invasions. Indigenous Iberians are by no means Berbers. I guess it’s the same thing with Sicilians.
Europeans are a different group from North Africans. Different haplogroups (R1b and E1b1b). There was a lot of genetic exchanges between both group I don’t deny that. The direct ancestors from Berbers are from the Horn of Africa while the direct ancestors of Europeans are from Central Asia.
In my opinion the somewhat similar appearance and genetic of some berber tribes and some southern european groups boil down to 2 things :
1) gene flow
2) convergent evolution
The but the 2 original populations are different.
People say Horn Africans are mix between Negros and Caucasians. This is not true, the Niger-Congo genetic component is lower in Horn Africans than in Maghrebis for that matter. This a proof that a group could look like an intermediate between 2 groups without being a mix of both.
You love to bring up the 93 IQ of Ireland. Irish are indistinguishable from English in appearance.
People from the north of France are blue eyed and blond haired indistinguishable for Germans but they are mocked as inbred retards while ethnic Germans have the highest IQ in Europe.
Why these groups are so differents in abilities and personality despite a clear similarity in look ? Culture and environment play a role, of course.
But above all they underwent different selecting pressures and inbreeding rate.
“You can find it on the Internet yourself. Morocco’s average IQ is 85 and Algeria is 83. I don’t see the point of flooding my comment with links when you could simply google it.”
Links? I want papers.
“You love to bring up the 93 IQ of Ireland. Irish are indistinguishable from English in appearance. ”
Irish-Americans test at 105 IQ.
“Culture and environment play a role, of course.”
Culture and environment mean everything, that and physiological factors. Race means very little at all.
Culture and environment play the biggest role at the individual level but at the group level you start to see the effect of genetic differences.
“Irish-Americans test at 105 IQ.”
Could be that only the smartest were able to leave the country during the famine. Anyway, 2 similar looking population, vastly different IQs.
“Culture and environment play the biggest role at the individual level but at the group level you start to see the effect of genetic differences.”
No, you start to see the average genetic differences. My race may be short, but if I am tall, I am still genetically taller than you are.
(and these genetic differences are usually physiological, brain size, height, etc)
Average all individuals of one group and the individual life experiences of each one will tend to cancel out each other.
Also see regression to the mean.
Only if that person breeds with someone shorter will his offspring regress to the mean. It has nothing to do with ‘latent’ genetics.
I don’t think you understand regression to the mean. You should read JayMan’s article on it.
It’s garbage. The ‘regression’ is just the loss of knowledge/experience, the genetic IQ remains the same. IQ isn’t a good measure of genetic intelligence, only current intelligence. Genetic IQ does not ‘regress’.
Nobody said regression to the mean was about genetic intelligence. It’s about whatever in the environment was causing the IQ of the individual being higher or lower than expected from his genetic background.
That’s precisely why I said you start to see genetic differences when averaging a lot of individuals as the effect of each of their own personal environment cancel out each other.
What does regression to the mean mean, biologically and physiologically speaking? I asked JayMan, on Twitter, and, of course, no reply…
Regression to the mean just means two variables are imperfectly correlated. The more imperfectly correlated, the more regression to the mean you expect when predicting x from y or y from x. It needn’t imply anything biological or physiological. When x and y are both nomally distributed and both expressed as Z scores, the degree to regression is equal to the correlation. So for example if you’re +2 SD in height and height correlates 0.45 with weight and both are normally distributed, you’re expected weight is +2 SD(0.45) = +0.9 SD.
The reverse is also true.
Great explanation. Thanks. Though that wouldn’t imply anything about biology? Say, any ‘IQ genes’.
I lost a bit of respect for rushton & Jensen when they used the fact that children of high IQ blacks regress to the black mean as evidence that black IQ is genetically low. This is nonsense because even if the low black IQ were 100% environmental, the kids of high IQ blacks would still regress to the black mean because that’s just the centre of their distribution so by definition that’s where most values tend to fall.
People wrongly assume regression to the mean is a uniquely genetic phenomenon because it was popularized by galton’s studies of herritability of height, but it tells you nothing about whether a trait is genetic or not. HBDers just give it a genetic interpretation but it’s just as compatible with environmentalism.

I forget, it was referenced in a paper about the difference in IQ of east and west Germans.

As I said last thread, liberals tend to be uglier than conservatives. Aesthetics don’t lie.
OT, but is it just me or does the average punter in most pubs and other communal areas in the UK and USA on tv look socially retarded. There is a lack of glimmer in the eyes. A disney dumbfoundedness.
I notice this when I’m walking down the street in London, but not my home nation. People are more ‘pozzed’ aesthetically in the UK/USA, probably due to the mind control rays they imbibe from their (((domestic))) media.

Social intelligence
Its a plain-ness. A neoteny. Its subtle. But its the same stuff I movie casting agents can tell intuitively as well.
Even more off topic. But the intellectual scene in the West is the worst its ever been. The Brits had a very good scene around the Bloomsbury group and the more antagonist Ezra Pound mid century. Hitchens is a recent example from this tradition. Where the intellectual was not a spastic nerd but a man of letters. There is a bit of eloquence a la Enoch Powell.
These people used to be the people that wrote the opinion columns and such for the major newspapers when they were gentile controlled.
I keep saying it. But if you read high VIQ gentiles and high VIQ jews, the verbal expression is completely different. Jews don’t become ‘men of letters’ or seek knowledge of the classics and that.
Its a subtle difference that shows that just because you increase someones IQ, doesn’t mean you get the same type of person.

More evidence that personality is different from IQ, though IQ can influence personality.

Pumpkin, whats your favourite junk food? Mine is KFC. Honestly, I think the colonel rocks. I remember in Singapore I used to mainly eat at the KFC down the street rather than eat at the hawker stands.
Man I hope blacks win enough oscars this year.
How come Tina Turner isn’t on this list? Is it because she is black?
The most influential person in the world directly is probably the Pope pumpkin. Its pretty obvious. I don’t know why you used a convoluted methodology. In my opinion Pope Francis is rather handsome as well. I like the way he smiles at me sometimes.
Actually Pumpkin would have been better off writing a list of who controls the US millitary – Sheldon Adelson, Paul Singer, Robert Rubin, Maurice Greenberg etc
Pumpkin also has ricki lake ahead of George Soros
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
When Ricki Lake comes out ahead of George Soros, most people would question their methodology.
“method” not “methodology”.
Ricki Lake’s show influenced sexual norms in a way Soros never did.
Soros influenced sexual norms. I can guarantee that.
Actually you’re right, Soros is WAY more influential than Ricki Lake. The problem was not with my method, but with my failure to apply it correctly to all the historical events he had influence on. Not only did he help elect Obama, but the backlash against his open borders agenda helped give us Trump, and he also played a role in gay issues through the causes he funds. I have moved him to the top 5.
I remember watching the episode Passage on the Lady Anne in the Twilight Zone and in the production notes in the Twilight Zone companion book they mention the producers and background people were chuffed they managed to get the old British gentry theatre actors from the early 20th century to do the episode. Its a very touching episode I think and quite sad because the story is a metaphor for how the old British empire and that intellectual scene was being replaced by the more brash and crude american scene, not just in movies and tv but generally.
When I was growing up there was a lot of the old Empire influence still in some of the learning materials and books you would read. I think Niall Ferguson made a good argument that the British empire really did civilise the world and was a positive force culturally despite the economic predation. I think British people today don’t realise how epic the British empire was in its heyday.
Of course, maybe Im being an Uncle Tom about it. Its more than likely those same people would ‘look down’ on me.
I always found the position of the scottish very odd in light of the British empire. To me its always been obvious celtic people are kind of like the blacks of Europe – more primitive and r selected than germanics and meds.
To this day some parts of Scotland have the same living standards as some third world countries.
Scotland has a reputation for being more ‘racist’ than the south. This is because they are less autistic than germanics.
I read somewhere that Ireland has the highest incidence of schizophrenia in Western Europe as well.
I also would note that if you look at the old Empire’s media depictions of Irish people, they actually portray them as blacks. Not joking.
These old pictures are very interesting, I’m very much the Algerian on the left as opposed to the Berber on the right, though my nose isn’t hooked like that, even though plenty of my family and people have that same hook nose, including my brother. Strange, given the majority of Kabyle are Muslim now, though they used to be majority Jewish and Christian back in the day.
Mongoloids, very accurate. Can’t tell the difference between them, all look the same.
I recognized the profile of the berber, that one is a inland tunisian, as opposed to a Labyle.
Quite a robust Med type, as opposed to a more Gracilized/orthoganthic classic med which I guess you might fall under.

Out of curiousity, what’s you hair color?

It’s even said to be the origin of the difference in mentality between the South and the North of the US.
“The South has a culture of honor, which means that if you are threatened or insulted, you respond to that with violence or the threat of violence to maintain a stance as someone tough enough to take care of yourself,” said Nisbett, who is also a professor of psychology at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.
Nisbett said the honor culture originally arose after Irish and Scottish settlers came to the southern and western United States.
“The South was settled by people who kept herds for a living. Their livelihood depended on the herd, and that herd could be stolen in an instant, so they had to do whatever they needed to do to protect it,” he explained. Northern states, on the other hand, were originally settled by farmers who didn’t face the same threats.
So the herder way of life could explain why Irish and Scottish are so “clannish” and more savage-like unlike their western and northern european neighbors.
It’s jet-black, though my beard is part ginger and I have many ginger hairs on my head. All my female cousins are blonde without exception, men tend to be brown, ginger or black haired. My sisters are light brown haired instead of blonde like our cousins. What’s your ethnicity? I presume Nordic of some kind?
“It’s jet-black, though my beard is part ginger and I have many ginger hairs on my head. All my female cousins are blonde without exception, men tend to be brown, ginger or black haired. My sisters are light brown haired instead of blonde like our cousins.”
Sounds about right from what I’ve heard pf Kabyles bein on the lighter end of North Africans.
In Meds it is common for men to have light hair on their beards, and usually in the case of North Africa their Blondeness reflects ancestry from Cromaons based on what I’ve read on metrics concerning light features in Berbers and Canary islanders.
Not surpising, as light eyes and hair have the same oriins in europeans”
“What’s your ethnicity? I presume Nordic of some kind?”
Nergoid, 82% to be precise.
Specialized Sudanid type actually. Lanky legged, but somewhat short armed and Mesocephalic, likely influence from Palaenegrid or specialization to American climate.
The rest of my ancestry, aside from some trace regions of native american, would be 9% Med with the rest being North eurasian and Huntergather, basically Scot-Irish or Gaelic.
So other phenotypes of my European ancestry may include a Med/Nordic mix like Keltic Nordid or Atlantid.
Wow, that’s really surprising. Further ruins a lot of my stereotypes. Can you tell me the reason why you aren’t stupid, or the reason why you think Negroids have low IQ on average? Are you an exception? I’m aware that most Berber tribes have low IQ but I’m always debating the causes with people.
Sorry for the late reply, didn’t notice.
It’s hard to say since alot of the mechanisms of intelligence isn’t understood, but either acquired or innate, it’s adaptability to the elements of 1st world society.
Both my mother and father’s family history seemed to adapted to it better.
Theres a pretty deep philosophical question whether my racism should be ‘over-ridden’ because its part of my primitive brain or whether it is a correct response to reality.
Its a very complicated issue. I sometimes let on with a touch of bravado that ‘instinct overrides reason, where possible’, but I hesitate when I get these Rawlsian arguments of whether if the shoe was on the other foot would you liked to get kicked as much.
Ultimately one must be forced to reconcile ones qualms with the creator first and foremost. It was he who made us different. In some respects some of us are not ‘equal’ to others. We accept this in terms of beauty, iq, athleticism. Why not race?
If you say to me a papua new guinean woman is just as attractive as a swedish women, the objective reality is the objective reality.
Sometimes sentiment is not logical. You have to watch for it.
It should be overridden, the age of natural selection of DNA is over, now it’s about the natural selection of ideas. Computers will soon replace us before the millennia is over. Communism is in a way, right. Racists are stupid people, Communism will always win at the end of the day.
Hitler’s paternal line is E1b1b, he’s not German. I’m not asserting any theory, just stating a fact.
People don’t understand how Y-DNA haplogroups work. They only represent a tiny fraction of the genome which is only passed father to son during hundredth of generations.
You could imagine an Englishman (haplogroup R1b) going to Japan and marrying a japanese woman. His son will be R1b as the son of his son and so one. One of his male descendant could be R1b despite having absolutely no perceptible western european admixture except this small fraction of DNA he inherited from his father going back to this english traveler.
This video will explain it better than I do :
To make a long story short, Hitler is german, or at least austrian.
Maybe this might sound stupid, but maybe its decent too.
So my view on morality is something akin to pragmatism. Theres no reason to outline an ideal as you cant manipulate the complexity of the world too much to really acomplish most ideals that involve society. So the best way to make the world an “better place” is to be honest in your intentions of work towards an goal, as honesty will lead to the results you most desire. How you work is entirely due to planning depending on the real world, which as stated earlier limits the goals one can reach. Honesty comes from knowing how your feelings interact with the world and plan correctly the best feeling world thereof.
What im getting at is that no individual is powerfull enough to change the world and that expressing oneself along with others is the best thing one can do. Though you seem to belive in an “big man view of history”, so that means that some exceptional people are an variable to consider, but for most it should just be that one should follow the feels over universals.
My view on Rawls is that its an lie created from opulence. Namely, that people who dont worry about scarcity on some subjects give “rights” that sustain from an lack of scracity in that field. But when scarcity comes, an lack of universialism is apparent, for example the prisoners dilema or prefering ones children. The standard of “you wouldnt want to be in that other persons shoes” can get changed in almost (if not all) all areas of discrimination, thus we get more and more rights as society advances thanks to the areas of competition changing. The reason for that is that having people deviod of rights would mean utter abandonment and resentment, but giving people more rights keep them content. So its not about morality but about societal stability. This is why non-whites get pokemon cards, and why they started communist guerillas during the cold war. It also describes the civil rights er a little.
I think one should be congenial however. I don’t think one should rub someones face in it. But its pretty obvious to me that the most advanced human societies have human beings in them that are aesthetically reflective of what created those socieites – logic, rationality, humanism and a helping of empathy.
It goes back to what Nixon was saying in those tapes – everyone knows blacks test lower than whites…but should you keep saying it? Would it help anyone?
Its a bit like papua new guinean woman and the swedish woman. I don’t think you need to keep saying it to the papuan. Or to legislate around it. But its there. You have to accept reality eventually.
We should accept the reality of things but merit should matter primarily. The Nigerian heart-surgeon contributes more to society than the Germanic single mother, for example. Although on average his people test less, which is a reality that should be accepted, his worth as an individual should not be judged by a standard distribution.
I am Berber. Although Berber countries do on average test lower than Germanic countries in uncontrolled studies, I am still smarter than 99.8% of the Germanic distribution. My merit as an individual should not be judged based upon the average in my country of origin.
That and most old-world countries are not at all homogeneous groups like Germanics and Han Chinese are. Igbo are smarter than Somalians, Kabyle smarter than Chaoui and Zenati, Levantines like Steve Jobs smarter than Yemenites and so on and so forth. Old-world peoples can be divided into many smaller ethnic groups.
According to the United Census Bureau, 4 percent of Nigerians hold the Ph.D. degree compared to 1% of the general US population. 17% of Nigerians hold the Master degree and a whopping 37% have the Bachelor’s degree. Although categorized as ‘black’, they’re almost an entirely difference race/ethnicity to the African-Americans. While it can be generally accepted that the African-American IQ is low, there are ‘black’ ethnic groups with much higher IQs.
Igbo are smarter than Somalians
I doubt it. We just see the smart ones in the West while Somalians in the West are refugees. In theory Somaliana should be smarter since they’re largely Caucasoid, though their Caucasoid admixture is MENA not European
I probably got the ethnic group wrong, I know there’s a specific ethnic group in Nigeria that’s smarter than the rest of them, it may not be Igbo.
No you have the ethnic group right, i just haven’t seem strong evidence they’re smarter than other blacks
Another example is India, which was once many countries of their own right. Brahmins as an ethnic group are smarter than other Indian ethnic groups, the homogeneous nature of the Germanic and Chinese peoples doesn’t seem to exist elsewhere, where tribal and caste based breeding systems mean ethnic groups are still very different from each other.
Immigrants to America are largely smarter than those we get in Europe as it’s much more difficult to got into the US for someone from Asia or Africa. This kind of explain the 110 average IQ of Indian Americans.
The saddest aspect of reality is that god didn’t make us equal. Or is that a sad thing?
I personally was never jealous of jocks or the most popular or the best looking etc etc. I was a pretty ugly guy for most of my teen years and I accepted it.
Later in life I became the most handsome guy and can reflect on what it was like to be an ugly duckling.
Im not saying this is a good allusion to what it might be to be black or papue new guinean, but I have had the shoe on the other foot in my life and I was never enraged by it.
I never had that sense of ‘injustice’ that Heartiste and Sailer imply is the driving force for the left. The idea that you are angry that you are not popular or handsome and you need to drag people down. Truth be told I don’t think all liberals are motivated like that.
Thats what they imply – that the people that weren’t popular in school are conspiring to tear down the school. I think its somewhat but not totally accurate.
Nowedays people don’t accept this reality anymore. Everyone is supposed to have a hidden talent. This false idea of equality create great resentment toward those who succeed. That’s true at the individual as well as at the racial level. This also create mediocrity as the successful need to lower himself at the level of the looser.
I like the idea there are people smarter than me. The world would be a terrible place to live if all humans were really created equals (i.e the same). Diversity is necessarily synonymous of inequality.
To take the analogy further, I genuinely think the social construct of ‘the school’ loses all meaning if you really do turn the tables upside down. Maybe this is the conservative part of me and something Edmund Burke would say about the peasents and the nobility too, but if you made the Oscars completely representative of the population – they wouldn’t be oscars in the same manner anymore.
I would suspect if the jews really did find some way to completely eradicate ‘rac-ism’, it would give them vertigo. It would be a bit like that Twilight Zone episode where the guy got his wish to be ‘left alone’ and wakes up to be the only person alive and lives to regret it.
Well Im open to the idea that my racism should be ‘over-riden’. For example in the context that people deserve a fair trial or that the system should be more meritocratic instead of clannish.
The problem is the second order effects of ‘meritocracy’. You basically give a platform for others e.g. jews to act clannish in the long run anyway.
The initial instinct is correct – to be a dick. Because you can’t trust that those that come later will reciprocate. My contention is that if you make the system race blind, it won’t stay race blind for long. This is the truth of human affairs. That there can be no race blindness as long as race exists.
I bash jews a lot, but Rod Serling wrote the best tv I’ve ever seen. The twilight zone is a spectacular cornucopia of ideas and theories about how the world works and should work. I don’t disagree with his themes and ideas but I don’t think Rod accepts that if you change the hierarchy and order of affairs, the stories no longer make any sense. Thats the biggest problem with liberalism in my opinion.
13,285,731 refugies in 2016.

what about The 100 most influential LIVING people of 2,000 years in the future?
what about The 100 most influential LIVING DEAD people of the pleistocene that have no record?
mmm southern fried jelly babies.
Good lord you’re thick as a plank.
I added “of all time” to differentiate it from Time magazine’s list which is about influencing the world right now. Mine is a list of people who most influenced any time in history as long as they’re alive NOW.
This distinction is way too subtle for your dry drunk mind.
Blame the booze, not the Jews!
good lord?
but you’re an atheist peepee.
and anyone who calls oprah or diana ross more influential than gorbachev is thicker than solid osmium.
or a black hole.
Osmium is the densest naturally occurring element.
peepee just needs to be gang raped.
I agree Gorbachev is more influential than Ross & even Oprah but the public rated the fall of the Berlin Wall to be much less important than Obama’s election, so objectively i had to rate Diana Ross higher because she helped mainstream blacks, paving the way for obama.
And of course Gorbachev must share the credit with Reagan, Bush I and Pope John Paul II.
As for the title of the article, think of it as the most influential people of all time with all the dead ones deleted.
and lech walesa and others all 1 million times more important than any negress.
PEEPEE IS ASHAMED OF BEING MIXED RACE.
I’m open to revising the list but please read how i calculated the impact scores. Lech walesa would need to have influenced the major events on the poll to qualify.
million times more important than any negress.
Actually American blacks have more influence than expected from their IQs. Their wealth is less than expected for IQ, but their influence is greater. Charles Murray showed that holding IQ constant blacks are more likely to be in influential occupations & my list shows the same trend at the highest levels.
major events in peepee’s lifetime:
1. AIDS
2. dissolution of the soviet union and the iron curtain.
3. the economic development of chiner.
all other events are small in comparison.
the only person on this mentally retarded list who isn’t just a placeholder is gorbachev.
100 years from now no one will know who [redacted by pp, feb 5, 2018]
If the public feels other events matter more, then by definition they do. Importance perceived is importance acheived.
but they will know who princip and oswald are.
Gorbachev is dead.
why would dead people be on a list of the most influential people alive today in America? Oprah is not dead and has had a huge influence, that means she can change things more than the people below her on the list. Dead people don’t have any influence because its impossible for them to decide to change things. Only a stupid person would think they can change things from the grave. When someone dies they cannot change anything anymore.
Recently Henery Ford has not changed diddly squat about the car industry. He is dead.
Gorbachev is still alive and it’s a list of most influential in the world not America only, although impact on America was used to measure influence since America’s the most important country
