    Operational Interpretation::

    Iran represents an intermediate evolutionary compromise between European and South Asian neoteny levels — closer to the West in cognitive style but retaining Asiatic kin-cohesion.

    Pakistan represents a bridge population, carrying both steppe (higher neoteny) and AASI (lower neoteny) ancestry, expressed in its oscillation between tribal and institutional order.

    India represents the southern terminus of that gradient: lower mean neoteny, high intra-population variance, and hence a caste system that functionally segregated sub-populations by neotenic level and specialization.

    Thus, rather than one “Out-of-Iran” wave producing uniformity, what you have is:

    A continuous cline of neotenic evolution from the Iranian Plateau (high-moderate) through the Indus (moderate) to the Gangetic plains and southern peninsula (moderate-low), with corresponding gradients in IQ, impulsivity, and institutional capacity.

    Nonsense.
    (a) the way you make the equivalent of a nordic country requires a small ethnically and culturally homogenous polity surrounded by similar small ethnically and culturally homogenous polities, especially those bounded by seas instead of land, with a degree of high neotenic evolution, high average intelligence, high degree of institutional formation, and high degree of individual responsibility for both private and commons.

    And, in addition, how you get to norway is having oil fields and saving the proceeds from them before they run out.

    (b) Ergo, in the industry we say “How to get to Denmark”. The answer is simple: you fill it with danes.

    So you’d have be rather dim and ignorant to think that a continent wide population of diverse ethnicity and culture under diverse geographic and economic constraints, would act like a scandinavian country because under such conditinos your bias in favor of meritocracy is easy to satisfy, but your bias or need in favor of equality is simply funding people who want to effectively prey upon you.

    (Btw: Johann, if you grasp what you have just stated you will find it is the source of human variation in instinct and intuition. The rest of the variation is just group differences in neotenic evolution, and class differences in accumulated genetic load.)

    Yes it was. It began in the late 18th century – largely in response to the French and American civil wars – which caused nationalism to rise, and people to re-migrate back to their places of origin. It’s postwar unification of progressivism with the marxist sequence that created their movement.

    all of europe is subject to the christian moral fallacy and hangover. Neither country has been sufficient to full block outsiders after the nazis were defeated. So we are, as I’ve written lately, the victims of christian universalism, combined with postwar anti-nationalism.

    Again, enduring problem of the source of the bias that is demonstrated. In the case of germany the problem was their ancestral fragmentation (similar to the slavic problem remaining today – tho poland is trying to change that.) England had unified. Germany had not yet. This is another version of the difference between sea and land powers. So england didn’t need to solve the problem germans did. They had the opportunity (privilege) of unification and therefore could emphasize law instead of ‘religion or theo-philosophy’.
    So germans took the feminine bonding strategy, where anglos had already developed it systematically.

    Everything I see is within the indian community, and less so in the asian. My opinion given that my company did the original tech sector research in the 00’s is that it will hit india the hardest, but india is most capable of absorbing it. Hard to see the same with Chinese, just the bar raised a lot. Japanese and south koreans are considered extended family. But they don’t have the population.

    OMG. I know this is a joke. But just to counter it. The oldest remaining population group alive today are the SAN. They bear a very likely look of eve. And if you look at australian aboriginal women thats an even more likely morphology. The bantu majority in africa is a more recent development. You don’t have to go back that far in history to see asiatic (left photo direction) or coastal dispersal morphology (right photo direction).

    The Myth of Asian IQ Advantage (They work harder)

    1. Debunking the “Asian IQ Advantage”
    • James Flynn (of the Flynn Effect) recalculated inflated Japanese and Chinese-American IQ data:
      Japanese IQ drops from ~106 to ~99 when sample bias is corrected.
      Chinese-American IQ drops to 97 verbal / 100 nonverbal with updated tests.
    • This means Asian-American success has occurred despite slightly lower average IQ than whites, not because of higher IQ.
    2. Cultural Effort, Not IQ
    • East Asian students in the U.S. spend ~13 more hours per week on academics than white peers.
    • Academic advantage comes mainly from effort and cultural attitudes linking effort to achievement, not innate cognitive ability.
    • Immigration status contributes — many East Asians in the U.S. are from families self-selected for ambition, education, and risk-taking.
    3. Underrepresentation in Power
    • Despite educational success, Asians are underrepresented in corporate leadership, politics, and university presidencies.
    • Possible causes:
      DEI dynamics: Asians seen as “white-adjacent” in diversity politics.
      Specialization & verbal skills gap: Strength in math/spatial reasoning, weaker in verbal skills may hinder bureaucratic and political advancement.
      Cultural conformity (Confucianism): Emphasis on hierarchy and tradition may limit creativity and leadership competitiveness.
    4. Immigration & Bottleneck Effects
    • Many immigrant success patterns reflect recent selective migration, not general traits of the origin-country population.
    • Example: Cuban-Americans vs. Cubans in Cuba.
    • Example: Taiwan’s semiconductor dominance rooted in a selective migration of anti-communist elites and skilled workers.
    • Selection produces cultural and genetic clustering of ambition, risk tolerance, and competence.
    5. Class Over Ethnicity
    • Persistent class effects: Elites tend to re-emerge at the top even after forced class inversion (e.g., post-revolution China).
    • This suggests genetic and cultural inheritance of traits relevant to success, but these differences operate more strongly along class lines than ethnic lines.
    6. The “Offensive” Implication
    • If differences in group success aren’t explained by large IQ gaps or historical oppression, then:
      Culture (values, effort norms) matters far more.
      Selective immigration amplifies certain traits.
      Class advantages persist even through upheaval.
    • This undermines both racial-essentialist and simplistic systemic-oppression narratives.
