    IQ improvement via continuous stimulation (saturation) raises all of us proportionally. Ergo, we all get smarter. We can bring people lacking stimulation up to that level. But like a rising tide floats all boats, the difference between us remains constant.

    Generally speaking, IQ will increase with environmental exercise, which is provided by cities. This is true everywhere (I think) other than east asia. I don’t know how to account for this yet. (I don’t think anyone else does either). Although I suspect the writing plays a role.

    Well you know, a conservative has much higher disgust and loyalty response – that’s before we get to hierarchy.

    Men don’t gossip. They negotiate. When negotiating fails they command. When commanding fails, they act.

    It’s time to act.

  • Q: “Do Caucasians age faster?”

    THE CORRECT ANSWER: YES, OUR *SKIN* DOES AGE FASTER. Aging in humans in particular, because we are long lived animals, is due largely to accumulated cellular degeneration. Of the three Major Races Asian and Black skin is THICKER, more COMPACT, and Ages More Slowly than White Skin. Asian and black skin has thicker and more compact dermis than white skin, with the thickness being proportional to the degree of pigmentation. This likely contributes to the lower incidence of facial rhytides in Asians and blacks. In addition, darker skin types are thought to have more cornified cell layers and greater lipid content compared to white stratum corneum. The major cell type of the dermis is the fibroblast, which synthesizes the main structural elements of the dermis. Black skin has been found to have more numerous, larger, and more nucleated fibroblasts, smaller collagen fiber bundles, and more macrophages than white skin.29 Chronological aging reduces the life span of fibroblasts; their potential for division being lower in the elderly. Fibroblast functionality and reactivity likely contribute to both the aging phenomena and abnormal scarring. See Scientific Paper: Aging Differences in Ethnic Skin
