Jayman says Italians are stupid

since Italian Americans score well on tests doesn't this prove IQ isn't genetic?

I am *so* not going to touch this other than to point one thing out of my own philosophy here. Once you "group" anyone, you're in trouble because there are ALWAYS exceptions to the rule. I like Jayman, but he seems incredibly obsessed with grouping people and then judging the group as a whole.

I grew up personally knowing that grouping or pigeonholing people (except for republicans, heh) is wrong, because for any grouping, there is an incredibly wide variety across that group. I've been kind of offended over the years about IQ scores (which are subjective on their own merits) are some sort of metric of race, nationality or otherwise.

In EVERY group, there are idiots, geniuses and all those in between. It bothers me a lot when people limit themselves to thinking of anything in pure black or white and fail to see the rainbow in between, even if that rainbow happens to be monochromatic shades of gray.

/soapbox

Carry on then, I await where THIS thread's gonna go. :)

He's doing this to coincide with the San Gennaro Festival. THIW.

I'm Italian.

My grandfather came from Bari in 1915. His parents did well. Owned property. I didn't.

I'm not offended that whiter norther Europeans have higher IQ's. It's not big deal to me. It's a fact of life.

There are high IQ people in all groups.

It's just that on average, certain groups score higher as a whole.

It's not offensive. It's not racist.

Jayman is a genius if you ask me.

My point, before I call it a night, is WHY is anyone scoring a "group" in the first place since that whole concept is an artifice to me. People are individuals ... they're unique. I take each on a one-to-one basis as you've seen personally despite the "list" you've been put on by others ...

But party on, Garth. :)

The reason for scoring a group is to explain why that group has lower or higher achievement than average. It would be better if we didn't try to quantify that either.

What's your beef with Prager? Some shit he said years ago about being sworn in to office using the Koran? Big deal. 15 hours of original content a week on radio, plus interviews and appearances, and you'll say something someone does not like.

Prager is a genius and an important thinker.

Jayman obviously is a genius or highly intelligent, maybe in the top 1 percentile.

Jayman has a cabin in the woods by a lake in Maine. He and he alone made the decision not to use a rain barrel for the purpose of water collection. Now he may be black a person of color, he may even be a genius, but he is no Progressive Democrat. I even posted a picture of apartment buildings in Co-Op City showing a bunch of rain barrels hanging out the windows even though some here never mind who mercilessly attacked me by suggesting said units were HVAC when clearly they were not. Anyone could see that.

From WIKI:

Many argue that the ideas that characterized the Renaissance had their origin in late 13th century Florence, in particular with the writings of Dante Alighieri (1265–1321) and Francesco Petrarca (1304–1374), as well as the painting of Giotto di Bondone (1267–1337).[20] Some writers date the Renaissance quite precisely; one proposed starting point is 1401, when the rival geniuses Lorenzo Ghiberti and Filippo Brunelleschi competed for the contract to build the bronze doors for the Baptistery of the Florence Cathedral (Ghiberti won).[21] Others see more general competition between artists and polymaths such as Brunelleschi, Ghiberti, Donatello, and Masaccio for artistic commissions as sparking the creativity of the Renaissance. Yet it remains much debated why the Renaissance began in Italy, and why it began when it did. Accordingly, several theories have been put forward to explain its origins.

During the Renaissance, money and art went hand in hand. Artists depended totally on patrons while the patrons needed money to sustain geniuses. Wealth was brought to Italy in the 14th, 15th, and 16th centuries by expanding trade into Asia and Europe. Silver mining in Tyrol increased the flow of money. Luxuries from the Eastern world, brought home during the Crusades, increased the prosperity of Genoa and Venice.[22]

Jules Michelet defined the 16th-century Renaissance in France as a period in Europe's cultural history that represented a break from the Middle Ages, creating a modern understanding of humanity and its place in the world.[23]

------------------------------------------------------------------

Sounds like JAYMAN is biased towards anyone in southern Europe. Italy has given the world so much in terms of beauty, arts, music, fast cars, etc.
