Hi Banjo, I suspect the controversy around self-selective breeding of human populations is more political/religious than scientific.
I'm basing the timeframe for Jewish self-selection on my desultory readings of the Old Testament, which clearly shows that the tribes of Israel were strongly aware of their genealogy and keen to record it. It also shows a clear reverence for cleverness over strength in leaders, presumably reflecting a broader cultural model. The emphasis on genealogy continues with the Jewish Talmudic insistence on maternal lineage being the prime determinant of one's Jewish identity. If you don't have a Jewish Mum, you can become a Jew, but only by demonstrating a strong capacity to learn. Unlike Christianity, where professing a belief is sufficient to be accepted, a would-be Jewish convert has to go through an arduous process of teaching and examination before being presented to the community as a candidate. I'm only aware of this because a friend started the process but found it too demanding! Interestingly, the Quran is also full of references to "men who think", or "men who reason" as being worthy role models. It's not surprising that people from the region where animal husbandry seems to have been developed should also apply the principles to themselves. The concept of "improving the herd" isn't a difficult one, nor is it especially confronting. We are squeamish about it because of the direction it was taken by Fascists in the 30s, which is fair enough, but even in our modern age it exists informally. "Assortative mating" in which people of similar backgrounds get together (doctors marry doctors, labourers marry labourers in simple terms) is a well understood phenomenon.

Yes LEGO, you are obviously a representative of a master race. Everyone knows white blocks are better than black ones...

Now, let's see.
Rodney Crisp is a anti racist who writes politely, although his arguments are easily countered. But good on you Rodney. You are prepared to test your beliefs against an opponent without adopting the usual arrogant evangelical presentation so believed of social justice warriors. AJ is an anti racist who needs to adopt dirty tricks to stay in the race. He is using the old todge of taking no position himself, while only attacking my position. As an anti racist, his position must be that all races are equal. But he will never say that because he knows that this position is wrong. So the trick is, to attack my position that races are different, while never acknowledging that races therefore must be equal. This trick is known as "always imply, but when challenged, deny" ploy. It is exactly like playing poker with an opponent who says that he does not have to show his hand. namenickname is an anti racist who writes absolute drivel and he appears to be on crack. Thank you nick. I am glad you on AJ's side. I'll bet he winces every time you submit another load of drivel. One primary reason why some people are anti racists is because they believe that "intelligent" people think that way. I congratulate you on your sterling work of proving that premise wrong. Thomas O'Reilly is an anti racist who routinely makes insulting remarks to me while demanding that I do not direct posts at him. Nice logic, Tommy. And now Craig Minns shows how clever anti racists are by submitting an insulting sneery one liner post directed at me. Personally, I think it would be better for Craig to submit reasoned arguments, but when you are so sure that you are infallibly right, then you do not need any of those, do you Craig? This is why us racists are winning. We don't need to resort to tricks, mindless drivel, stonewalling, or base insults. We are prepared to argue an issue on it's merits, and let the truth be told "though the havens may fall." Posted by LEGO, Friday, 30 September 2016 10:19:27 AM

LEGO,
Thanks for a fine example of the problem with your reasoning. <<… AJ Phillips, has admitted that low IQ is a factor in criminal behaviour.>> There is a strong correlation there, yes. But correlation does not imply causation. Usually there’s a third factor driving the two. For example, ice cream sales go up and down with murder rates. This happens consistently every year and has done so since the invention of ice cream. But it is not the ice cream driving the murder rates, it’s the seasons driving both. <<… that the reason why aboriginal people make up 25% of the prison population in Australia, is because of low collective aboriginal intelligence.>> So you’re saying it’s the ice cream, not the seasons? How did you rule out disadvantage as the driving factor for both? <<In addition, it is easy to prove that genetics does make a role in criminal behaviour. Intelligence is heritable.>> So is disadvantage. <<And 95% of any nations prison population is male. Not just male, but usually young males.>> Biological sex is a chromosomal difference determined at conception, not a heritable trait. <<… when making sense of the world, I had to choose between two racist explanations. One was, to accept that my race as the most disgusting and oppressive race on planet earth, which was responsible for everything that ever went wrong. The other is, that much of human dysfunction is simply a product of low intelligence and genetic heritability.>> This a false dichotomy. <<AJ is an anti racist who needs to adopt dirty tricks to stay in the race.>> Such as? <<Thank you nick. I am glad you on AJ's side.>> This is the Association fallacy. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_fallacy) <<I'll bet he winces every time you submit another load of drivel.>> Why? What nicknamenick (or anyone else for that matter) says, or how he presents himself, says nothing for the credibility of my arguments. Hence the fallaciousness of the Association fallacy. Do you wince every time runner opens his trap? How about Constance, or our dear old MIA friend one under god? Posted by AJ Philips, Friday, 30 September 2016 11:08:14 AM

This discussion on the intelligence of aborigines has made me wonder
about their marriage customs. Similar to the Arabs they are tribal. Do they like the Arabs engage in cousin marriage as a matter of course. If so the best we could do for them would be to ban the practise. However, if like the Arabs it is a practise going back thousands of years it will take hundreds of years to repair the genome. Lego, I think it was tied the aboriginal criminal activity to intelligence so perhaps we can see the correlation of criminal behaviour between Aboriginals and moslems and their high imprisonment. All this is very political incorrect but if it is true then throwing all the money in the world at it will not fix it. For how long does Rodney Crisp propose paying out to aborigines for the sins of the past ? One thousands years ? Two thousand years ? Should it be divided up depending on the DNA proportions ? Otherwise some money would be going to the descendants of the British ! Horror ! It really is starting to get ridiculous. Posted by Bazz, Friday, 30 September 2016 3:51:47 PM

Throughout the western world, black people are very disproportionately represented in serious criminal behaviour. Leftist social workers have dreamed up every reason why black dysfunction is all caused by those horrible white people. Whites oppress and discriminate against black people. Such a premise I reject. Within white European societies, black people now have a privileged position. Any discrimination which blacks have from whites is usually because it is very well deserved. Black people are regarded as being lazy, violent, and untrustworthy, because so many of them are just that.
Even my most vehement critic, AJ Phillips, has admitted that low IQ is a factor in criminal behaviour. My premise is, that the reason why aboriginal people make up 25% of the prison population in Australia, is because of low collective aboriginal intelligence. In addition, it is easy to prove that genetics does make a role in criminal behaviour. Intelligence is heritable. And 95% of any nations prison population is male. Not just male, but usually young males.
As I have mentioned earlier, as a young trendy lefty, when making sense of the world, I had to choose between two racist explanations. One was, to accept that my race as the most disgusting and oppressive race on planet earth, which was responsible for everything that ever went wrong. The other is, that much of human dysfunction is simply a product of low intelligence and genetic heritability. On impartial reflection, I think that the second explanation is much more credible.
