🧵 Nerds
Anonymous at Sat, 27 Apr 2024 18:20:17 UTC No. 16148724
Are "nerds" not actually high IQ but rather just people who spend a high amount of time gaining knowledge in an attempt to compensate for their genetic inferiority? And then when they create technology it isn't usually for the betterment of mankind but a reflection of their bitter damaged egos? Is intelligence just an illusion and ultimately useless? Aren't all those people in Africa more evolutionarily advanced because they are able to reproduce more?

No, look up r-selective vs K-selective genetics.
>the rest of your questions
Yes.

Yeah yeah I've heard that r whatever shit before man but how do you know that overall they're going to have less offspring that survive? The popalulation growth in Africa is vastly outrunning Europe so I don't think it matters which reproductive strategy they're using

Also this is about differences between species anon. Different races aren't different species. Pretty sure applying r and k selection to humans is retarded

That's not the inference. A smaller percentage of their offspring survive but that doesn't mean the number who survive would be smaller. When their population growth reaches a threshold, they die off quickly, especially if not subsidized by foreign aid. Their societies are not self sufficient enough to maintain a stable number naturally.
>Pretty sure applying r and k selection to humans is retarded
Why? The corollaries are pretty obvious.

Do you have any actual data that shows this having happened?

I would agree with the knowledge and low IQ, as I am anything but a genius. I was always terrible at math, but somehow here I am as a computer security researcher as a college dropout. I only got this way by reading a ton of books and book smarts are not the same as IQ.

When Zimbabwe was Rhodesia, they required no foreign aid. The US alone has sent Zimbabwe over 3 billion dollars since 1980, meanwhile the life expectancy of the average black therein has decreased substantially since 1980. A similar situation happened in South Africa with the poverty rate of the average black increasing since apartheid ended.

Ok so that shows they had less (((money))) when the west stopped giving it to them but it doesn't show that they all started dying off.

It's almost as though you need food to survive and you need money to buy food, that is, if you can't into farming.

Yeah but did they start dying off with less money?

How would they not? They literally can't feed themselves without relying on foreign aid.

I don't think there is such a thing. There are species better or worse at not dying, and they breed accordingly. Also it's unfair to compare domestic bunnies with wolves, as they underwent possibly the most extreme change in behavior from the wild species.

As far as I know, the only recorded time their population crashed was when they failed to outbreed the things that were killing them.

Now I noticed the foreign aid... I mean rabbits, of course.

Intelligence is commonly the focus of grandiose delusions because intelligence is intangible.
Its a lot easier to imagine that you're smart when you're low IQ than it is to imagine that you're tall when you're short

It's only a little bit harder to tinker with IQ tests until they give high score to smart people like yourself.

it's not about different species, retard, it's about two different approaches to reproductive strategy. It can be more readily illustrated with two species that entirely devote their biology to one strategy vs the other, but most species have varying manifestations of both with different consequences.
Human societies differ based on their r-selectivity vs k-selectivity. That's why you can have a population with diverging groups within it, where one segment of the population has high investment into few children, while the other side of town is baby mamas as far as the eye can see
