I'm convinced everyone from h*xbear is a bot. (censored b/c I don't want any of those fuckers noticing).

Desire alone cannot cure ignorance; information is required for that, and not everyone has the know-how to find it.

This exactly. Intelligence being heritable does not imply that any one particular population is more intelligent on average than another.

“intelligence” is a pretty nebulous term to begin with

This is also accurate, but I'm glossing over that because it's late and that fact is only tangentially relevant to the question.

Thank you very much!

Intelligence has a genetic component. Every single test we have that attempts to measure intelligence that we've checked for heritability shows that intelligence likely has a generic component. Furthermore, we know that some species are more intelligent than others. Given the demonstrable existence of Darwinian evolution, this implies that some populations of a species are more or less intelligent than another because that's a requirement for a speciation event that results in a species that's more intelligent than its cousin species.

Anyone who says otherwise is likely allowing their ideology to cloud their judgement.

No. I have gotten 2 offers to work for the NSA and turned them down hard. If I could stomach it, I could have a job working as an actuarial scientist for an insurance company.

This is the most succinct yet thorough confession I've ever read in my entire life.
