Do you believe in a superior race?

I find it hard to believe that through evolution of humans the only thing that has changed is skin colour, and to a lesser extent, bone structures. Is it not plausible that the intellectual capacity of certain races has evolved beyond those of others, creating an intellectually superior race?

I'm saying that anyone with a basic grasp on evolution knows that the humans species has existed for a fragment of a second on the evolutionary scale. Biological differences are aesthetic, there is no such thing as race... only different combinations of physical characteristics.

Slight problem for you - global scientific advancement dominated by caucasians.

But don't let that get in the way of a good sterotype

Yes, with the conditional that the coming technological wave will render the degree of differences between human races insignificant compared to a human with extensive cybernetic enchancements. Also the singular for superior race is misinformed, two such races exist in East Asia and Europe respectively.

These differences exist and are very real. They're also soon to be irrelevant, on the basis of impending racial obsolescence we should take no action over the differences between races.

These cybernetic enchancements will probably be banned for, "ethical reasons" theoretically because electrical signals can travel faster through synthetic materials and they do neurones, people who can afford more of this augmentation could experience the world at a slower pace to other people

Why hasn't Europe always been ahead of the middle east if they're an intellectually superior race? and do you believe in any differences between Chinese, Japanese, Koreans and white caucasians?

There will always be a part of the world where you could pay to have the enchancements



Firstly I'd say the middle easterners are still (half) caucausian.

I don't think individuals are that much brighter, just if you take a group of 100 of each that racial differences become apparent. It's easy to see that with enough laws in place, a group of intelligent people in society of a less intelligent race can still form threshold groups. 10,000,000 peasants and 1,000 intellectuals all gathered in the central city still beats 5,000 intellectuals spread out in hamlets across Europe. Progress is often linked to population density, but what you do once you achieve that I'd say is weakly race linked. By weakly linked, I'd say the race is a smaller factor then culture and social structure.

Of course there's big differences between East Asians and Caucausians? Two different forks from the same point that have arrived at broadly similar places on the other side.

We shouldn't forget that 10/11ths of human racial diversity is found within sub-saharan africa. East Asians and Caucasians are less of a distinct race then many of the regions in Africa are from each other. In particular both groups are hybrids with other branches of humanity (neanderthals) - the background rate of such genes in Europe is 4% and they also exist in the East Asian population. Completely absent from sub-saharan Africans.

People who say racial differences don't exist are being idealogically dogmatic, we can see with our own eyes and experiences that differences are there.

I'm saying that anyone with a basic grasp on evolution knows that the humans species has existed for a fragment of a second on the evolutionary scale. Biological differences are aesthetic, there is no such thing as race... only different combinations of physical characteristics.

Ashkenazi Jews tend to be very intelligent. The Nepalese tend to be brilliant soldiers. Superior in what way? Although genetics might play a part in slight differences of races, such as bone structure and what not, I believe it is rather culture and environment that leads to 'differences' in races.

So are you saying that evolution has had no effect what so ever on the brain?

Being minted and having a cultural emphasis on academics probably helps the Ashkenazi Jews.
The entire Nepalese warrior myth is built pretty much solely from the exploits of the British Brigade of Gurkhas. It's insane selection, training and discliplinary standards is what makes them brilliant soldiers. That no more makes the average Nepali a brilliant soldier than the standards of the Royal Marines and Parachute Regiment makes obese Bob the plasterer from down the road a naturally brilliant soldier.
