The Super Rich Want "DESIGNER High IQ Babies" - Richard Dawkins

Richard Dawkins makes his final ever tour appearance - and has the indignity of doing so with interviewer Andrew Gold. His thoughts on Elon Musk, Douglas Murray and Jordan Peterson are fascinating and controversial, while he speaks brilliantly about Ayaan Hirsi Ali and the late Christopher Hitchens. He explains why Islam is so different to Judaism & Christianity - and defies cancel culture and trans lunacy. #iq #richarddawkins #designerbabies

There are many studies on race and IQ, and to no one's surprise, they all show the exact same results that the world shows. But it is of course more convinient to blame racism and colonialism for the way the world looks.

[@RenegadeContext]

There are caveats to such studies. Measuring IQ can be effected by the willingness of the participants to participate and culture can effect IQ testing. If the attitude in that culture towards academia was changed there maybe be a higher reading of IQ. The nature Vs nurture argument still stands

Dawkins's tie gives something away, when Peterson alluded to Dragons and their existence [IN THE IMAGINATION] Dawkins skilfully played him with a straight bat. But perhaps he really didn't connect with the relevance and power of symbols and dreams .... the reinforcement of the message of the tie is as stark as wearing a Sheffield United shirt in an interview like this. I reminds me of Dr Steve Jones, esteemed medic who on Desert Island Discs picked a load of daft songs about the body like "Your knee bone's connected to you Ankle Bone" etc. not really grasping the idea that there is a life and a world outside the purely practical which is the whole point of the radio programme.....

I can't see you?

west Africans dominate sprinting because they've more fast twitch fibers in average v other ethnicities, that's genetic 🧬 that's one of many differences between ethnic groups

[@theobull6630]

But you shouldn’t forget also that sprinting is a sport with a huge ease of access, unlike say swimming or skiing

[@brianbadonde8700]

@@theobull6630 yes it's equally available to everyone and west Africans completely dominate, why because they have genetic advantages for sprinting and bodybuilding because of the dominance of fast twitch muscle fibers, Europeans tend to be more 50/50 fast twitch and slow twitch on average

The question seems self explanatory. Most parents would want their children to have the face and body of Henry Cavil, Chris Hemsworth or young Brad Pitt with brains of Einstein.

Richard Dawkins is such an old bore - can’t bear to listen to him - so I didn’t!

[@RenegadeContext]

"...of Americans" oh Richard 😂😂😂

[@rayclam8079]

Talk about a loaded question.

[@outoforbit00]

Dawkins is never done hyper rationalising. He is so boring.

[@marktrain9498]

He's a professor, not a polemicist.

[@rjg728]

Would you prefer irrationality in a professor?

[@ali------8649]

He's not your jester. He is a scientist. Your IQ score isn't his problem.
