You are comparing Biafra war (where Igbo pop was about five times smaller that rest of Nigeria) with Ru-Ua war where Ru population is four (on dated census, now probably closer to 5) times greater?

Yeah, I think that there is a fundamental tricky problem of "who you care about."
Seconded. I've read many times postings for people who said they care more about animal welfare than certain people because people should be responsible about themselves. Insults that %X% are worse than animals are even more common.
... when I first filled screen screen with BIOS 10h paint pixel calls, I found it was very slow... I wondered why??? I had written it in assembly!...
don't you want to use VGA mode 13h, much simpler?

I kinda get your point, but it's orthogonal on how these bits are presented to CPU. You can use multiple chips without any of this color planes thing. Also, EGA also had 640x350x 4bits mode which would require >64 kb address space if not this trick. CGA which had less memory did not use color planes.

Yup, in 1850, average African American slave ate meat much more often than average citizen of Russian Empire.
the same argument suddenly becomes Nazi rubbish
Blacks didnt have a political organization comparable to USSR.

Slow population decline wouldn't be a problem at all if IQ grew.
What do you mean by "collapse"? IIRC only South Korea gets somewhat close to 1 child/woman.

Uh. Do we have animated userpics already? This makes me sad... I think animations do not suit this place.

nobody could publish results using the leaked data.
Your mean publications in scientific journals?... ... one can publish anonymously.

"phenotypic null hypothesis", according to Google Ngram, does not appear before 2002 and it's usage going after 2010. It's a neologism.
And disingenious one. For testing medications, null hypothesis "it doesn't work" is useful because we have voluminous history of ineffective medications. We don't have prior history of controlled experiments on population IQ differences. It's like theists requiring atheists to prove.
Jack and Jane both collected some stones on beach. Compute average size of stone each of them collected. Must they be same, exactly to 10-digit after comma, unless proved otherwise?
Rightist inclined people want to preserve racial inequality of outcomes
As been said, it is looking at rightists under leftists theory of universe. What about "rightists don't want certain kind of government-mandated redistribution which give a net harm to society" or "rightists don't want their bikes stolen"?
Now I am going to violate rules and say that intelligence is clearly biological. It's not controversial to say that fish are smarter than jellyfish, and crocodiles are smarter than fish, and rats are smarter than crocodiles. It's only when feelings are hurt it requires some "phenotypic null hypothesis". Yes, intelligence has long causal chain, but so are many biological phenomena.

No they claim that racial purity
HBD advocates claim that if you mix two populations of same size, IQ of mix would be very close to average of these ancestral populations. Don't they? What does this have to do with racial purity?

What Germany could do better for Russia? Germany sends tiny amounts of weapons to Ukraine. It's US weapons & intel which is a problem for Russia.

The Germany is influential enough so they can buy a lot of gas from Russia which could translate into supplies for the war

He claims it's worse: Employers are looking for conformity, which by definition can't be signaled by something new and innovative.
I remember I read "completed higher education means you can do boring, useless stuff for 5 years without questioning it".
... well, you can make PGS for conformity...

When USSR launched the first satellite under Chief Designer Korolev (Ukrainian), many Americans got scared. When Russia wishes to unite (in some way in another) with Ukraine to try making some another scary things this is seen as more menacing than Saudis killing Yemenis with reason rooted in faith differences.
Saudi Arabia currently is only starting to make its own firearms.
There is probably another axis on this. Russians are perceived to be whiter than Saudis and therefore higher standard is applied for them.

Dysgenics happening now doesn't occur is a stateless society. It's happens with governments which ban many things and implement income redistribution, and also governments cooperate on wide scale to prevent many things.

In practice, the one side's bad things is slopppy statements (esp. in Twitter where format encourages them) and the other's side bad things are both sloppy statements and coordinated attacks on non-sloppy researchers from other side. There is no symmetry in what you're suggesting.

Growing in two-parent household isn't an independent variable. Earlier, a parent might die to war or natural causes, or slave master moved them to another location. Now, in rich 1 st world countries, living with 1 parent is usually because one or both parents are bad at impulse control (assholes), which is correlated with intelligence and anything.
sorry I'm not English native. Does "west-sloberring" here mean same as "west-sycophant" or some kind of bias toward west?
