Diversity Macht Frei

From The Telegraph, (behind a paywall, for full article see here)
[S]cientists showed for the first time that a person’s IQ can be predicted just by studying their DNA.In the largest ever study looking at the genetic basis for intelligence, researchers at the University of Edinburgh and Harvard University discovered hundreds of new genes linked to brain power.
But nobody knew which were the ‘smart genes.’
Now by studying the genetic data from more than 240,000 people, scientists have found 538 genes which are linked to intelligence.
Researchers were even able to predict intelligence just based on a person’s DNA, a breakthrough which could potentially help doctors to diagnose impaired cognitive ability, or allow children to be given an tailor-made education based on their innate abilities.
The ramifications of this study are huge, the mainstream for the first time is forced to admit, unequivocally, that the idea of the “Tabula Rasa” (blank slate) and that “We are one race, the human race” are outdated and now obsolete.
One Race
They won’t touch on the racial aspects, of course, because that is still a hot button topic, but it isn’t a huge leap to go from “DNA/genes can predict intelligence” to “non-whites have different cognitive abilities due to their genes”. It will also serve as an exoneration of brave scientists like Dr James Watson who was forced to resign and even sell his Nobel Prize for comments on Africans back in 2007:
“I am inherently gloomy about the prospect of Africa because all our social policies are based on the fact that their intelligence is the same as ours—whereas all the testing says not really.”
“There is no firm reason to anticipate that the intellectual capacities of peoples geographically separated in their evolution should prove to have evolved identically. Our wanting to reserve equal powers of reason as some universal heritage of humanity will not be enough to make it so”.
The study also found links between longevity and IQ:
The study also showed that the same genes which influence intelligence are also linked to other biological processes such as length of life.
Although it is known that intelligent people live longer it was generally assumed that the link was due to social causes, such as a better education, leading to a more well-paid job, which brings a higher standard of living and a healthier life.
But the new research suggests that intelligent people are biologically fitter.
It seems eugenics wasn’t so wrong after all.
Of course, the insanity of the left knows no bounds and they might seek to spin this as an issue of “genetic privilege”:
We need to race mix with blacks since whites have “privilege” because they evolved in “environments of unearned privilege”. We need to bring ourselves down because there is no way to bring blacks up to our level.
Only then can we atone for colonialism and modern racism!
