—-”Which is a bigger problem in the US classism or racism?”—
Neither is a problem. Both are uncircumventable evolutionary, reproductive, social, economic, and political realities and necessities. Humans organize that is our principal ability, and our intelligence evolved only for the purpose of increasing the complexity of our cooperation – even across gender, family, clan, classes, tribes, nations(in the genetic sense), subraces, and races.
The classes demonstrate different genetic, social, economic, and political abilities. Unfortunately everyone at the bottom quartile is six times as costly as everyone at the top two quartiles can compensate for.( the third quartile appears to be neutral or at least a tolerable loss.
Those tribes, nations, subraces, and races unable to limit the reproduction of their underclasses (as have europeans and east asians through manorialism or extraordinary prosecution), or have expelled their underclasses (Ashkenazis) or have been able to concentrate sufficient capital to drag people out of permanent malthusian (population) and dysgenic(distribution) poverty.
Those tribes, nations, subraces, and races unable to limit the reproduction of their underclasses, and who have not engaged in martial, juridical, or economic (manorialism), have ended up as the levant, india, southeast asia, and now south america, with underclasses so large that they cannot be organized into a voluntary organization of production capable of producing marketable goods.
Worse, in the current era, as the low hanging fruit of petrochemical energy, mechanical technology, and now computational utility has been captured, likewise, labor has evaporated as a market good, mechanical capital has dramatically depreciated as market good, and at present calculation labor (what we call clerical and white collar work) is depreciating as a market good. And without markets to provide information to us, we cannot cooperate at scale. And there are few if any multipliers on service provision.
All technology can be implemented quickly and easily and the marginal competitive advantage between groups eliminated.
So as the world continues to adopt the inventions of western civilization – not the least of which is Aristotelian (scientific) reasoning, and the Anglo (Germanic) natural law of torts, and the Italian(Templar) method of banking, the relative standard of living of peoples will decline, because the only competitive advantage a population has, is genetic.
The primary competitive advantage that does not produce regression into Malthusian and dysgenic poverty is genes. And the difference in one standard deviation is so profound it is the HIGHEST POSSIBLE RETURN for any group – as well as for all mankind.
The data is in. The 20th century experiment with social economic and political pseudoscience is over. We misspent that capital on reversing at least 1300 years of improving human genetic, cultural, and institutional capital.
There are three known magic bullets. A battery with the energy density of gasoline. The reduction of the size of the underclass through one child policies for the underclasses, and the development of artificial general intelligence that means he with the most capital and the lowest population wins.
The individual human is quickly approaching not only malthusian and genetic equilibrium but political, economic, social, damage. We outran the productivity of nature and resorted to farming. We outran the productivity of farming and turned to industry. We out ran the productivity of industry and turned to information. There is nowhere to go beyond information, and as such the only gains are to be obtained from the reduction of negative human capital.
Via-negativa in all things at scale. Once you maximize returns on any set of operations, the only improvement possible is to remove costs and defects.
More is not better. Fewer people with more, is better than more people with less.
That’s unavoidable.

—-”If white people came from Neanderthals, why do they have such nice features?”——
White features, like East Asian features, are due to paedomorphic selection (read about it). Largely by decreasing testosterone, it appears. Which is also how we domesticate and produce paedomorphic traits in domesticated animals. The difference is that east asians evolved from an earlier branch out of africa, and progressed even farther (hence reduced sexual development) and migrated from the south while whites evolved (apparently) either from a later group, a different group, or as the product of groups interacting between africa, the levant, and europe, causing greater competition than was available in east asia.
White people do not come from Neanderthals. A very small number of West Eurasians PRIOR TO BEING WHITE reproduced with Neanderthals – and most likely in the Levant.
White skin developed around 20K years ago, and Neanderthals were extinct long before that. White people in their current condition developed sometime before the indo european expansion (the inventors of Horse, Chariot, and Bronze) around 4000BC, and likely in the european plain between poland and european russia (the urals) in that borderland that is now Ukraine.
1 – West Asian europeans with darker skin were exterminated in europe.
2 – White people with black hair were almost exterminated in europe.
3 – White people with brown eyes were partly exterminated in northern europe.
In other words, (the data from last year confirms) the Yamna expansion appears to have not been one of continuous integration, but outright replacement.
Whites – at least northern european whites (North Sea) – are super-predators, even among humans. Which is why everyone fears them. (See Hansen). Probably because of our relatively high detachment compared to other genetic groups. (Which accounts for certain psychological benefits and defects common in Europeans: psychopathy and neuroticism in the extremes.) The only people close to europeans in evolutionary progress are east asians and they have lower verbal acuity in exchange for higher non verbal acuity. (We tend to think of the japanese as at least equals – and that is ‘rare’.)

I was raised not to do so. I do not. However, I also know that most of use make friendships, businesses, and mate, within three degrees of our relations. And that this only changes when disparate peoples meet under periods of economic change.
In the end, races are justifiably treated differently because of the medians of their distributions – that’s just empirical behavior. It is far cheaper to work with people you understand than invest heavily in those who are different and whom you cannot estimate.
People are not special. At best there are far, far, too many of us.

—-”Why is Facebook racist and why does it make life more difficult?”—-
1 – Mark is a left wing outsider from NY.
2 – Media people treat gossip as a skill and virtue and good, and are draw to media occupations. They are outsiders in productive industries.
3 – FB hires mostly young inexperienced people and in particular benefits from immigration of people who are outsiders.
4 – FB is a bit of a cult (as are Google, Amazon, certainly wikipedia and the academy.)
5 – Once you consume the upper classes (he originally did) you can only expand the scope of people in your company by creating increasingly safer information environments for lower and lower (more easily offended) people from information that they disagree with.
6 – In other words, it’s personal, cultural, and economic incentives.
BUT WHY?
Facebook, Google, Amazon, Wikipedia, Quora, and the Academy, the School System, the government bureaucracies, and in particular leftist politicians, all have greater incentives to serve inoffensive, bias-confirming, Dunning-Kruger-satisfying, mythology to their customers.
People rarely want the truth. They want an excuse to feel their status is higher than it demonstrably is given market conditions. The human accounting system of self work is status. Self perceived, and other perceived. In fact, much of television and advertising exists to appeal to this vulnerability. Marxism Postmodernism as well as the Abrahamic REligions, all appeal to this weakness of desiring to be more genetically, reproductively, socially, economically, and politically ‘higher’ than they are. This is why hyperconsumption works. We do not teach people piety in the abrahamic sense, or mindfulness in the ‘woo’ sense, or stoicism in the scientific sense.
When Marxism (The myth of the equality of the classes) was no longer intellectually possible by the 1950’s or 1960’s – despite the pseudosciences of Marx, Freud, Boaz, and the Frankfurt school, the Postmodernists (largely the French under Derrida and Americans like Rorty) changed the propaganda (“Institutional Narrative”) from Classism as the means by which the underclasses could not change their status due to (nonexistent) oppression, to Identity and Racism as the means by which the underclasses could not change their status due to (nonexistent) oppression.
Remember that Marx, Boaz,Freud, and Frankfurt School – and even Cantor, are Pseudoscientific movements that fed the classes of previous farm labor and domestic service, newly-risen to consumers by the industrial (capitalist) revolution, a vast set of lies, in order to drown out the rather obvious work of Maxwell, Darwin, Weber, Pareto, Durkheim, Spencer, Nietzsche. And they used the same techniques as did the Abrahamic religions (Islam was a heresy of Christianity, and Christianity a Heresy of Judaism, and Judaism a reaction to the invention of reason) to form an counter-revolution against the aristocratic, legal, and scientific revolution provided by the Romans, Greeks, and Persians. So the first dark age was created by Magical Religion, and the second dark age will either be created by reemergent Magical Religion or by Magical Knowledge we call “Pseudoscience”.
Instead, we are —quite empirically — more or less desirable as mates, friends, coworkers, members of a polity, and citizens in a state, because we are more or less sociable (costly/rewarding), we are more or less reproductively desirable, more or less useful to one another in daily life, we are more or less useful to each other in production, more or less useful in organizing people to produce commons, and place more or less costs upon each other in social, economic, and political organization.
In particular, in humans, the more symmetric, pedomorphic, aquiline, features are more desirable regardless of race, subrace, and for very good evolutionary reasons: easier detection of superior biology, easy detection of longer life, easy detection of more amenable termperaments, because of longer time for mental and social development, by the delay of sexual development, and lower depth of sexual development. In other words, greater pedomorphism and lower impulsivity and higher trust, and longer development cycles, create greater opportunity for cooperation, and the outsized returns of cooperation versus even the most capable individual.
And among the Races, Subraces, Tribes, Clans, Families, we some have been more successful at eliminating the underclasses and thereby ‘domesticating’ themselves as we have domesticated animals. And some have been less successful at eliminating the underclasses, and have not domesticated themselves as we have domesticated many animals. As such the size of the underclass is much larger, and the median much lower, and therefore the institutions, traditions, morals, ethics, norms, habits, and manners are those that are suitbile to the majority.
And this manifests itself largely in the ability to learn (which decreases rapidly at every seven to ten points of IQ, and in the ability of people to cooperate on increasingly complex divisions of labor while forgoing opportunities for self reward.
And you can’t find evidence anywhere in the human world to contradict this that isn’t merely economic necessity among the most destitute and lonely.
This is reality.
So basically all companies, states, and religions that are not regulated by laws against the spread of falsehood, will harm a population by spreading falsehoods and feelgoods in interest of attracting revenues (companies), votes and taxes(states), and bodies(religion).
( Thankfully it is possible, at least in the near future to limit falsehoods and truths about mankind. Just as we limit what can be said about products and services. )
End the lies.

That is a great question, but I don’t know … hmm.. Certainly Africans have the physique that evolved in harshest conditions requiring the greatest durability, and in all tests in the real world they are certainly the most durable. Certainly some native south americans have extraordinary cardiovascular capability. And as far as I know they are the strongest per cm of height. Certainly southeast asians appear to be the smallest and finest other than the Pygmies. I’ve seen massive strength from every gene pool. The greatest weight lifting isn’t a good measure because it appears to be a matter of training. And the training requires a certain kind of mind, and those minds are produced by cultures. So I would expect that definition of strength to come from ethnic anatolians-persians or ethnic germans-scandinavians-slavs. Arabs have been breeding with africans since they diverged from indo-iranians. But given their extreme poverty and lack of military tradition we haven’t seen them in the ranks of competitors.

Don’t be daft. It’s because we have signlaning power over our kin group, but we do NOT have signaling power over outgroups. Signals create norms. No signals. No norms. No norms, devolution of social capital.
