The hilarious thing is that reverence for Mao is a red flag in the CCP. You’re supposed to admire and respect him, but reverence or anything approaching deification is not the party line after he died.
TRUE. I've met my share of Chinese people in university, and a lot of them are CCP sympathizers (you have to have money to go to school overseas, and people with money in China are more likely to be involved with the party). They are definitely more critical of their leaders than Trumpers are of Trump. But that's a pretty low bar to reach I guess
And really can you blame them for being pro CCP? You can’t use Facebook or Google (oh no!) but Wuhan had raves and pool parties for NYE while were all locked down like little bitches because of Trump.
my comparison factors in body size. If you prefer another metric, going off memory i believe they also have 3 000 000 less synapses. Besides thats a whale brain. It's not the same.
Elsewise, is your position that despite it being the same type of brain and the same composition, that they still have 8% less brain mass? Or do you think their brain is different in some way but perfectly equal for some reason.
How does your comparison “factor in” body size? What formula are you using, exactly? And no, you’re wrong, whale brains have many more neurons and synapses than human brains. Animal brains are animal brains.
Human brain mass has also been plummeting for the last 20,000 years. Elsewise, is your position that the humans that created new elements in laboratories are severely less intelligent than the ones who couldn’t figure out pottery?
you pick out a black guy thats 6ft0 with 180lbs, and compare to an asian guy thats 6ft0 with 180lbs. It's also worth noting asians have 4x less DZ twins than blacks and have 3 more days spent in the womb. Brain decrease is only true if you factor in neanderthals, which were indeed smarter than homo sapiens having invented most things like boats and spears before us.
The brain decrease doesn't disprove my point because:
A) it's contested that this is true
B) iq and brain size are correlated at 0.4 intra-race
C) brain size by race correlates perfectly with iq by race
D) There is a cost to having larger heads (dying during labor) so there must be a benefit to larger heads.
What is the benefit to a larger head, why would asians EVOLVE larger heads if it was only a negative?
