I dunno - Steph (6'3") and Jordan Poole (6'4") make most of those
taller players look silly quite often. Jokic vs Curry and I'd take
Curry every time.

Quarterbacks, place kickers and punters?
Generalities often aren't.

I should have clarified. Obviously, there are no differences in IQ between the
races large enough to justify treating the members of any race as if they were
just animals. That, in itself, doesn't mean slight differences can't exist.
But if they did exist, and were proven to do so, it would still cause a problem
because then it would make it harder to argue that bigotry isn't valid. (Unless
the differences are in the "wrong" direction, of course.)

And the further north a person lives, the skin lightens over

I would think that there are massive differences in social conditions
between peoples, for instance, Jewish social groups have an affinity to
learning that aids them in life, where Hottentots ( Khoikhoi),do not, which
impairs them. That is something that can be repaired easily.
The idea of Eugenics, arose with the rise in Racism after the 1880's or
so. It is stupid and cruel.
BTW, when I was younger, I was mislead on the idea of IQ, and attempted
to join Mensa, and succeeded. Then I realised that I had joined a group
that would take money to tell you you were smarter than most others,
which logically actually showed that you were stupider.

Are you sure? Given the modern trend toward "de-skilling",
we seem to be moving in the opposite direction.

I read an article about this yesterday. Maybe someday the list of species to

And even there we come back to the nature vs. nurture argument.
With the spread of GPS, people's spatial awareness is atrophying.
I think I read of a study that suggested the area in our brains
that deals with spatial relationships is actually shrinking.

I do really well with numbers, music, and many spatial problems -
but I'm totally stumped by politics (and happy to be so).
If you want an excuse to discriminate against a group, there
all sorts of criteria you can pick to back up your arguments.
(There are just as many criteria that will refute those arguments,
though, and if you want to win you just have to shout them down.)

That does not _necessarily_ follow. After all, any group has expenses,
if they have offices and postage and things like that. I remember hearing
about Mensa back in the early 60s, but it does not seem to have been a
success story.

Oh, I think that genetics plays a very important role in
determining an individual's potential intelligence. But that,
in itself, doesn't say anything about how differentiated that
genetic endowment might be between genetically distinct
ethnic groups.

Don't be too sure about that. When people are bound and determined to
resist your efforts to help them there's not really much you can do.

They claim to have 134,000 members in more than 100 countries, so
perhaps rumors of their failure have been somewhat exaggerated.
