Lol fuck Greg Cochran i trolled his blog so hard he decided to stop blogging lmao
I respect the man but I think he’s been a terrible influence on HBD. He’s convinced people that civilization created man when I prefer to believe man created civilization.
Its both. While the stuff 10,000 years ago may not be as major as older changes, it wasn’t nothing either. Lots of selection for alleles took place (IDK if that would be accounted for by emergence of SNPs). Among the various selections included things like mood, personality, temperament, blood sugar levels, odds of getting cardiovascular diseases while at a higher BMI .etc.
For example, European Neolithic people had variants for higher neuroticism, guilt, lower BMI, and somehow a higher likelihood of cardiovascular diseases at a higher BMI in comparison to European Mesolithic people. I guess the last two of those listed changes allowed them to eat more regularly with smaller breaks between meals, but they couldn’t eat as much at once.
True..flamin.
It is both.
I poured some chemicals dont the sink and its started to burn everything in there. Definitely got my money’s worth.

interesting claim from wikipedia:
A study in 2015 found that Yamnaya had the highest ever calculated genetic selection for height of any of the ancient populations tested.
…
The heir of the Neolithic Dnieper–Donets and Sredniy Stog cultures was the Pit-grave culture. Its population possessed distinct Europoid features, was tall, with massive skulls. The second component were the descendants of those buried in the Eneolithic cemetery of Khvalynsk. They are less robust.
so maybe “we wuz aryan supermen n sheeeit” is true.

what if alt history
i have 25% ancient Yamnaya ancestry although the rest is mainly Anatolian farmer but i am very short clocking in at 5’4 and a half inches.
my sister is about 5’7-5’8. i have been told i have a very Yamnaya look to me. i descend directly from the steppe hordes that took over India many many years ago.
exactly. LOADED is the greatest commenter on this blog.
mugabe: what if you were an alien who looked exactly like a human (except slightly larger penis) and had an alien level IQ, what would you do?
peepee: i’d become a day time talk show host or ev manufacturer or whatever…i’d become a billionaire.
mugabe: and then what?

Cringe LOADED admirer vs. Based random other blog reposter enjoyer
Lurker youre cringe. i enjoy other blogs as well youre just a weirdo who has trouble getting along with others.
you should take your right wing views and shove em up your ass!
In Europe, more than half women would be taller than you. I wonder how it would feel.
When I was 16/17, I was a bit ashamed about my height because their is a fetishism number when your height becomes freeky in metrics (200) whereas (6 feet 71/2 inches is regular). I guess in imperial the freeky height starts at 7. I suppose some NBA players say they’re just a bit lower than that …
So many times, when people are standing and I can seat, like in a crowded corridor, I like to sit, and see things at 4 feet 11 … But I also like the impression when I suddenly stands. It’s really childish of me …
That wasn’t an invitation to speak to me
Bruno must be tough 😦 lucky for me like Pumpkin has noted my height fits my personality very well and i am a very youthful person!
and Lurker…fuck you im not speaking to you i am merely taunting your stupidity.
“That wasn’t an invitation to speak to me“
I was speaking about you, not to you. Btw those who can’t learn how to read should rather stay or go back lurkering.
25% is likely an overestimate LOADED. Do you have a global25 coordinate of your DNA? If so, post it here. I’ll check if it is 25% and post the model here.
this came from genomelink they were just calculating ancient ancestry so it was only compared to ancient relatives and not ones outside the spectrum they had.
anyways 25% isnt an overestimate i am very much Yamnaya. I registered for a global25 account but dont want to purchase anything yet so i will hold off on letting you know.
i am a fair share Yamnaya with a mainly Anatolian farmer background as my paternal haplogroup is G.
hope this helps Flamin. once i purchase stuff off of global25 i will let you know and share my results with you! 🙂
Loaded has said he is every ancestry in the book. I’m surprised he hasn’t claimed eskimo ancestry. Hes an idiot. Totally doesnt know what hes talking about.
@LOADED
Genomelink is probably overestimating. 25% translates to 36% Sintashta which is more than the amount found in Pashtun average. Unless you are a Pashtun or Kalash from Pakistan, 36% Sintashta equivalent is suspect.
wdym Flamin I am Pashtun from Pakistan and Afghanistan i have more than 25% ancestry from West Asia (Pakistan and Afghanistan).
i am most closely related to Burusho people who are similar to the Kalash people in a lot of way. Pathan and Pashtun ancestry are significant in me.
and Pill youre a moron youre an Irish Traveller or an Indian living in Ireland which makes you a trollish cuckold.
i dont have a single drop of African blood in me though i have ancestry from all over the world just none from Africa. small bits and pieces from all the over the world though.
to repeat myself i have to say i am Pashtun so it makes sense that i have that much Yamnaya ancestry.
@LOADED
Pathan have less steppe than Pashtun and Burusho have less steppe than Kalash.

11.25% to 13.5% Yamnaya.
The Yamnaya genetic height thing is fine when compared to modern populations, but older populations probably have variants that aren’t calculated by modern models. In those cases, comparing physiological height is the better method.
Physiologically, Gravettians were much taller than Yamnaya. Yamnaya are reported to be 5’9″, Gravettians are reported to be 6’0″. You could add some inches to pre-modern populations for a modern conversion, that could get Yamnaya closer to 6’0″, but it would also push Gravettians way over 6’0″.
Flamin i also have like 20% Caucasus ancestry according to these admixture results from various testers. that must play a factor in my ancient ancestry as well do you not agree?
actually according to the DNAGenics website i am 10% Steppe Pastoralist. i am 40% Neolithic Farmer 35% ancient Asian 10% ancient hunter-gatherer and 2% ancient Oceanian!
Those calculators aren’t worth it. IDK if you paid for them, but they are a waste mostly. One will say 10% steppe pastoralist and another will say 25% Yamnaya.
wdym theyre totally worth it they just use different metrics to calculate thats why.
theyre actually very accurate and use very good standards of measurement i dunno what your problem is!
What they call “steppe pastoralist” is an arbitrary breakup and mishmash of things that are real. Changing it arbitrarily makes the labels useless and the components not real. You are looking at models that are telling you that you are made of those imaginary components.
The whole utility of these things supposed to be a representation of real components. If a calculator says 25% Yamnaya and another says 10% steppe pastoralist for the same person, its worthless. You could do all of that without a calculator made by someone else.
no you really cant. there are just different ways of measuring and i think the 10% steppe pastoralist seems about right.
These different ways measure different things. Think of it like this: you have 4 different grand parents. But if I sliced up their contribution to you, and mixed it up to make imaginary individuals who aren’t your grandparents, then I am not giving you an assessment of your actual ancestry.
Now complicate this by stretching it far enough to the point where distant individual contributions don’t matter as much as group proxies for them. I can take actual ancestral contributions, mutilate and chop them and then mix them together to make components that never actually existed, and give them to you as your ancestral components. Such a report would be meaningless.
As for 10% steppe pastoralist- depends on what they mean by steppe pastoralist. If it is Yamnaya, then 10% Yamnaya is too low for you if you have plenty of Pashtun ancestry (unless you are like half Pashtun and half south Indian tribal or something). If it is Sintashta, then 10% Sintashta is way too low. Even a 50% Pashtun and 50% south Indian tribal would have more than 10% Sintashta. For all I know, what they call this “steppe pastoralist” component never actually existed, and they confused different things and came up with a non-existent component.
ill believe what i want you believe what i want. fair enough?
10% steppe pastoralist might be low but they mix it with ancient Asian DNA as well so that is why it came out so low!
Whats happening is if the 10% is referring to Yamnaya, then the remaining Yamnaya is being put elsewhere (overfitting) or if the 10% isn’t Yamnaya then its either a non-Yamnaya real component being mislabeled as “steppe pastoralist” (or possibly an artificial proxy for a non-Yamnaya real component) or its an imaginary component that never existed and doesn’t serve as a proxy to something real either. Either way, shitty calculation.
How does that prove aryan supermen is true and sheet?
how massive?
interesting how more time and more people means both more mixing and more differentiation.
i wonder to what extent contemporary peoples are more “mish-mash” than ancient peoples if they are.
the story is WHGs were very dark skinned but they are where blue eyes originated.
so the theory that “de-melanization” of the iris accompanies the same for the skin is apparently false.
but then northern dogs are also distinctive in that they have blue eyes.
so maybe blue eyes is an adaptation having to do with low light intensity but not vitamin d.
in support of this theory are the de-melanized eyes of cats.
there’s something called “night blindness” that is associated with eye color.
cats are nocturnal so their eyes have adapted to see very well under moonlight only. their pupils are slits. and…
and they have de-melanized ires?
this may be pleiotropy. that is the demelanization per se is not an adaptation but a spandrel or free-rider.
tyger tyger burning bright, in the forests of the night…
african and siberian tigers have the same very light brown ires apparently…a color very uncommon in humans.

Yes and chihuahuas are just like Irish Wolfhounds which are just like Poodles which are just like Rottweilers.
Mugabe thinks HBDer’s supposed to be surprised when they see a black person capable of feeding and clothing themselves.
Mug is much more intelligent than you will ever be Lurker. some people are meant to be second class citizens like you you worthless coward.
lurker is actually just rr arguing with himself.
Unban the comment puppy. It is literally a statement of fact.
Too politically incorrect
“lurker is actually just rr arguing with himself.”
It’s called trying to argue with someone on their own level (empathy) so that something is actually accomplished rather than farting in the wind like you. Do you want to be a schizoposting drunk forever?
Lurker from reading your comments i can tell you have no awareness because your empathy is so low you can barely relate to any other individual in this world.
stop trying.
bats are the “lascaux caves” of nocturnal mammals.
what is their eye color?
apparently dark brown (epic fail!)
or…
the same “light amber/green” of tigers. idk. check it out yourself.
BUT RECALL!

bats depend on “echolocation”
NOT
“seeing in the dark”.
but amber is a rare eye color.
maybe the rarest…
in humans.

yes.

“talking shit to someone as great as us!”
LMAO.
“stress has little or no association with cvd”
WRONG.
I think theyre called Irish just because of their red colour. They probably originate elsewhere.
1.* the “ascendancy” bred dogs to look like the natives…just to be JERKS!
2. the native dog had developed red hair…all the breeds are from one OG red haired dog….except the world’s largest dog (the irish wolfhound) obviously.

I have a dog that looks like this:
She is smart, she understands how to jump the fence so 5 minutes after I put her outside I let her in the front door.
Tonight she brought me a can of spaghettios.
I opened it and gave it to her.

So Elon fired 75% of Twitter’s staff…I have no idea what that does to a company’s valuation but recently he offered share options valuing the company at half the price he paid for it. What an idiot.

Anyways, maybe hes on to something and theres a lot of fat in these tech companies. You assume since most of these tech companies are basically websites you wouldn’t need much staff. Maybe the thesis is correct.
Richest man in the world makes his money by making crap in China and putting fancy branding on it.
In the top 20 ‘official’ Forbes List only Buffet made his money in finance and frankly, calling Buffett finance is a stretch. He’s more like some hobbyist with freak cognitive abilities than a finance guy.
When Bill Gates father introduced Gates to Buffet, Gates almost didn’t show up because he assumed Buffet just moved money around and that didn’t seem to Gates like value added. To Gates’s surprise Buffet turned out to be a very intelligent man.
I wonder if Gates would agree to meet George Soros or if we regard Soros as too cognitively inferior to meet, kind of like Obama refused to meet Soros.
LOL Soros is probably smarter than Buffet truth be told.
Yes my guess is Buffet 140, Soros 150.
If Soros hadn’t retired in his 60s and didnt give all his money to political causes I’d guess hed be in the top 20 today.
I didn’t mean IQ score. I meant that Buffet has autism and Soros doesn’t.
Autism is baked into the IQ score, just like every other major cognitive difference.
United States/Population
331.9 million (2021)

Finance is an interesting case where the workers get a massive share of the economic surplus being made. Probably more so than any other industry.
It’s not finance. Many hedge fund and Private equity firms keep the money for a small group of founders.
It’s professional services where you need many rain makers or very qualified operators to keep or execute the business deals :
– all investment bank (M&A, quant trading, IPO, coverage and bit less maybe wealth management)
– most law firms and even more on the higher end of productivity where more than 20% of lawyers are equity Partners
– most consulting firm with the same caveat. For example, in big auditors, the pure audit being very low added value and with a few number of firms, it’s extremelly hard to become Partner and the salary compared to the revenue handled is low.
So you get the money when the corporation can’t afford not to give you the money …
For the industry sector, when you have built the brand and the product, the value the most qualified employees retain is not that high, however difficult and qualified may be their jobs.
However, the amount of profit shared would be much greater though if high tech firms couldn’t go find their employees outside their native population.
I guess good computer scientists in SF would make 1,5M instead of 150k if the border had been closed during the last 30 years. Even in Switzerland or Luxembourg, salaries are twice higher as in the rest of Europe despite huge immigration employment.
As for Computerization, it doesn’t bring that much productivity in itself. But it allows to transfer human capital into real capital at the hands of owners and C-management. For example, pharmaceutical sales force in France have seen their number and average revenue shrinks with CRM systems once they had introduced the expected data in the system.
Economist magazine says people in Mississippi are richer than in France on a PPP basis. WTF. That can’t be true. Fake news. Its obvious from all the other indicators we have that there are more poor people in America than in France.
