were they the only people in America, the ostracized criminals would have to live in a makeshift criminal colony far away from Amish areas.
if population density was allowing it, but if not, they would pretty soon get the need to have a prison system.

Is it THAT different from much more popular "any Russian killed is a Russian who will not invade western countries"?

effect on the populations over which it applies (lower base rate of mental illness, less tolerant of selfishness).
Mental illness is weeded out, but it has average heritability, and high IQ is weeded out, and it has high heritability so decreasing IQ will dominate.

I'm not saying it woudln't. Yours publishing ELOs is like leaking answers to exam before giving it to students. I am wondering about identifying people who have unbiased estimate of their own SMV. If they can read it from app, they can copy-paste it and pretend they have correct estimate of themselves.

The point is getting ones who correctly estimate their rating, just publishing it serves no reason.

and you don't think there's any risk of those wars spilling over into the first world or using nukes
If 1st world nations somehow agree to legalizing conquest in Africa, they can work out so they don't get nukes as well.

are you going to say that that poor backward Russia conquers rich Ukraine due to number superiority?
A part of answer might be that USSR early gave equal rights to high IQ Jews which partially offset the inefficiency of planned economy, then after creation of Israel most Jews eventually left and economy became less free in 1960th-s. In some things, it wasn't (unironically) real communism:
abortion banned by Stalin
education in schools after 7th year was paid
...I could even speculate that if Stalin had better health and lived longer, he'd change mind on genetics too...

Thanks! Maybe you'll mind answering two questions: About using local models, can it be tweaked so it doesn't forget context so easily? Maybe using learning runs on previous conversations? How does chatGPT retains context? I understand it does multiple processings for each prompt, and does lossy compression of previous chat history. How to simulate in in API?

I use the scare quotes and distinguish "African"
Thanks for clarification.
I don't quite understand what QuickMatch means.
"black" men rated "black" women about the same as other women
You can say that, or you can say that for every single year between 2009 and 2014 black men rated black women below both Asian and Latina women and that Black men are the only group of men who didn't not rate their women positively.
If you scroll down page to DateHookup data, it is worse for Black women: here Black men prefer White women over Black.
I guess reply rates, female sender is closer to actual rather than stated preference, black males respond only to 37% messages from black females, and 46..57% to other categories, it's not even close.

The old OKCupid data showed a huge effect of non-African men finding African women less attractive, but it didn't apply to African men.
Look at the numbers again, it did apply.

I don't like this fact, and think it would be amazing if earth was less dense and had only 2 m/s^2
Earth would have had no air, then.

Clarence Thomas? He is noticeably more light-skinned than average US black. So the result would be whitening, too.

then it would boost the AADOS IQ.
Yes. However, for some cases it will increase AADOS IQ but decrease USA IQ.
Regression to the mean doesn’t happen that quickly.
All (or most) regression happens in 1st generation.

That's a violation of common sense and shows that something's obviously wrong with the HBD idea.
Why? Beyonce owns a sweatshop in Bangladesh that makes clothes and shoes. There are lots of modern industrial productions, including state of art modern electronics, in poor South East Asian countries. AFAIK there are none in sub-Saharan Africa. It's all minerals and crops. When intl megabrand grows something in Kenya, they don't really need local workforce, they need soil and climate. My common sense says that "mentally retarded" is accurate if they can't even sew shoes.
As for immigration, I'd say "regardless of any arguments about regression to the mean, nobody in the West is giving race-based preferential immigration to Asians.
The 5 IQ point advantage for East Asians is much smaller than 20 point IQ genotypic gap with most Africans. It makes entire sense to ignore 5 points gap while consideing 20 points gap. Also, East Asians countries strangely underperform in scientific output compared to their IQ. The 5 IQ gap is about Chinese, Japanese and Koreans. Malaysia, Philipines and Indonesia are much lower.

The only reason we fetishize IQ is because it predicts academic performance and we use academia as the filtering mechanism for our elites.
how did you get from this to this??
But virtually none of the smartest people in the world are in charge of much of anything.

As for black people they are useful for the system. A black lesbian woman with a rainbow flag is ideologically loyal. There is no risk that she will turn against the system or be disloyal, she truly believes in the liberal project.
Sounds pretty much like dictatorship allocating chief positions for loyalty over competency.
Blacks are not neccessarily loyal to liberal project. Blacks have highest transphobia amongst US race groups, in opposite what you could think if you just voted on them voting R vs D. There are more of such issues.

because they don't think about people like you or me much at all.
it makes sense that they do not think about people they do not consider significant.
curious. what they are thinking about?
Reducing birth rates even in Islamic countries show it is not immune.
Birth rates are reduced in Islamic countries, but birth rates of Muslims in countries where they are not a majority are high.
We've won so hard a tiny Westernised nation can essentially hold off the whole of the Middle East on its own.
If the nation put this as a goal, maybe.

Even trans issue, as controversial as they've been, are only the thin end of the wedge for transhumanism.
could you please be more specific? You say that transsexuality is associated with transhumanism?

and the Soviets tried to look for the differences between the bourgeois and the working class in genetics
sorry, what? Stalin threw many geneticists to jail.
Stalin even tried to enhance the human genes by mixing them with apes' (you don't want to know how),
that happened was before Stalin consolidated power, and Stalin certainly did not try that, eventually the biologist pushing that idea was sentenced to 5 years in exile

We need economies of scale.
Most incentives for fertility produce more of the last two groups
Well, many of the incentives are fixed or available to poor only, so it's by design. u RandomRanger did not offer any of such incentives.
