In study after study, modern genetics research is murdering blank slatism, and it's quickly becoming a bloodbath.

You're just an uneducated r-slur is the problem. Debating "nature vs nurture" makes literally no sense, yet you dumbfricks spew nonsense like "INTELLIGENCE IS GENETIC!!!! RACE DIFFERENCES PROVEN!!!" You will never realize just how incredibly r-slurred this sounds to anyone semi knowledgable about genetics.

What do you mean 3 billion base pairs cannot possibly determine 100 trillion neuronal connections in the brain on top of every other bodily function? IT'S GENETICS, DUDE!! DONT ASK HOW, IT JUST IS, OKAY?

It's a valid point. Our genome isn't long enough to contain specific Information about how the neurons are interconnected. And since what we call intelligence is obviously something happening in our brain it can't be determined by genetics. Plus there's no reaction norm for it so that's another reason

The point is that DNA doesn't encode a perfectly detailed map of all neural connections. It has parts at varying degrees of fidelity. The connections future development (mostly though pruning) is strongly influenced by the more detailed parts.
Take a more straightforward trait like time preference. It's not hard to see how tweaking it would affect intelligence, nor hard to see how different environments would select for it more or less.

How does it not follow? It's one of the main arguments against intelligence being genetic. The other ones being lack of reaction norm and the fact that intelligence isn't objectively quantifiable as it's not a purely biological trait but rather certain cognitive abilities that we arbitrarily defined as intelligence

There's been literally selection for almost every other part of the body. West Africans have more sickle cell disease because those genes give more protection against Malaria, people in tropical areas with crops shrunk down to being little manlets. Why would the most important organ, the brain, be immune to this process?

Moreso they don't realize just how complex the interplay between genes and environment is. The same genetic makeup could result in completely different phenotypes in different cultural contexts for example.

What side is making the presumptions? There's no serious race realist who is arguing the environment doesn't influence anything and all variations one perceives are down to inherent genetic differences, no race realist denies epigenetics either. What they do deny is the presumption that the races are inherently equal under a blank slate and the variations we see are due to structural racism and environmental influence.

It's obvious nonsense to claim that racial IQ differences are caused (in meaningful parts) by genetic differences that directly influence intelligence itself (whatever this means tbh). The "evidence" people like you bring up always betrays a complete lack of understanding of the complexities involved.
As I said, even if you could pinpoint important "inherent genetic differences", the difference in outcome could well be completely caused by "structural racism and environmental influence". Obviously no one is a blank slatist in current year, but genes influence the environment, and the environment influences genes.
And pointing to sickle cell disease (or eye color, or skin color...) and comparing it to a highly polygenic trait like intelligence is just r-slurred tho u should know better lmap

The old cop-out, this is the game little children play too weasel out of an argument. "Well what is a chair anyway, a rock could be a chair, so could a stick when you sit on it" one says too the furniture manufacturer. There's no culture on earth where being called smart isn't praise and being called stupid isn't an insult. People everywhere, in all languages, in all cultures, have understood what it means too be smart or stupid.
Literally read this book that looks into g, the common factor too what we call intelligence. People good at one subject or test tend too be good at others. People bad at one subject or test tend too be bad at others. There's over 5,000 genes known that code for parts of the brain, these genes vary in distribution between the races, just as races vary in mental ability. Too pretend this wouldn't explain a major part the massive disparities we see between groups is, as @Jared_Taylor said, racial creationism.
BLACK LIVES MATTER

It's not clear what it means for a genetic factor to directly influence intelligence, independent of the environmental context.
Exactly. Quite absurd to claim such a highly polygenic trait would show meaningful "race" differences.

There was that thing with peppered moths, pre-industrial revolution they were mostly white to blend in with the birch tree.
In comes a ton of coalburning and soot, trees get darker, and the moths with more peppering blended in better, which improved their odds of survival against predators.
Then we started cleaning the air and the pvre white moths increased expression

To some degree but adoption studies have already been done and shown the environment has nil effect on intelligence

Throwing endless money and resources to BIPOCs and seeing little improvement also showcases the failings of the egalitarian side. It's like how the Marshall Plan worked for Europe but all the foreign aid for Africa goes nowhere.
Environment has an effect when it comes to actual malnorishment, like experiencing a famine. Which can explain some of the reason Black Africans score much lower than African Americans on IQ tests, for example. There's very few BIPOCs living in the west that are malnorished to a significant degree. You can lower a group below their potential by stunting/malnorishing them, but you can't raise them above their potential by throwing resources at them.

For one, twin studies are almost always done within a country, which definitely limits the amount of environmental variation that can occur. No malnutrition is happening in a western country, for example.
The other thing is that intelligence does tend toward that of the adopted parents, but it normalizes in adulthood.
Even then there is some small variation between twins. So it's not 100% genetic.

No email address required.
No it doesn't, not even a little. The correlation is near zero but very strong with bio parents
The variation between twins could be due to a ton of stuff that is non environmental, probably it's just measurement error

The nature-camp is not weakened by this. All non-r-slurs acknowledge that a bad environment can tank IQ and other desirable traits.
If you want to discredit them, you have to attack the following claims:
90% of people in the west have no environmental factors that will destroy their intelligence
Thus, a big part of the variance in IQ comes from genetics
The real blackpill: The 30% or so variation that is "environment" is basically just random noise (modulo catastrophic trauma like the hammer to the head) and we can't influence it. We tried lot's of stuff like "better" schooling, better diet, preschool, and nothing seems to work.
Thus, if certain genetically coherent groups perform worse on average, it comes from their genetics
If this is true, it doesn't mean you have to hate BIPOCs, but it should follow that we should stop wasting tons of money of interventions that won't and can't work. The money would be much better spend for UBI, for example.

No one brought up these claims so I don't have to discredit them. If someone did I'd just tell them they are wrong and r-slurred. Comes from genetics doesn't mean independent of environment, interventione do work, group differences between races are clearly not due to an inherent genetic difference.
