Also what genetic theory do they even use wow, people with ancestoral background close to people we think are subhumans actually are all god kings

the genetic theory is idiotic, it's that jewish genetic diseases are IQ boosters if heterozygous

it does at least rise to the level of being a falsifable theory though. limited credit. i'd love to see it tested more extensively because heuristically it seems sort of clear that it won't hold up

The dumbest eugenics theory is “Europeans are more intelligent because cold weather kills off the less intelligent.” Okay so, do you think it being a little colder in Europe is harder than surviving the horrors common in Africa.

Theres a youtube video from economics explained (bad bad bad) about colder climates encouraging cooperation. Anyway you have to immediately ask yourself why it took so long for this cooperation to bear fruit vs literally everywhere else

the amount of cooperation cold encourages is exactly perfectly balanced out by the detriment of it being cold, so the detriment from shorter days being unmitigated creates conditions for worse overall outcomes

i mean it's one of a thousand theories that are fundamentally unfalsifiable. your classic just-so story. you have no way of knowing if that's true, and if it is, it would explain your observations, but so would many other things

the worst part is that's not even especially youtube. that's just "unsupervised graduate student who has not been explicitly forced to ensure their claims are falsifiable"

I love this because all the evidence we have of early people in europe is they were basically all the same, and were effectively all genocidal for small pockets of land that worked with their agriculture system

And Africa evolved with us! Whereas the faunae, especially the megafauane, in most of the rest of the globe didn't know what hit 'em. Hunting mammoths in Europe was, in many ways, playing on easy mode

i kind of believe the torsional dystonia thing because other dystonias have very distinctive and not always entirely negative neuropsychiatric side effects. it is not particularly common at all, though.

i mean my other strongest-version of this position is that the bad genes will tend to be on chromosomes or in regions that may have been under selection pressure to conserve, so the genes might themselves correlate with different traits even if the genes are worthless.

SE Gyges @segyges.bsky.social

ie, it would actually be the fact that the gene itself is very negative that makes it characteristic, because no germ line carrying that gene would have survived if it had not very strongly had to due to its linkage to other factors

bonus round: this corresponds with "being heterozygous for this allele is a probable outcome of just the maximum possible survivable mutation load on this area, so P(has this mutation|is alive and has a lot of mutations here)" is high

I’d never heard of this one, am excited to go down this rabbit hole. Is it meant to have any impact on carriers who don’t have symptoms?

the beastly fido @theophite.bsky.social

it's autosomal dominant with reduced penetrance, which means that not everyone with the gene is symptomatic, but everyone who has it has a break in the pipeline which makes dopamine, often around the tetrahydrobiopterin cofactor.

so, like, i "have" it but don't get symptomatic except after heavy exertion, in which case my calves lock up and it's really hard to pull myself out of tiptoe gait.
