I don't think that the assertion that different human races have different cognitive abilities and personalities is really that outrageous. I read two popular books about intelligence. The first one was "The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life" by Charles Murray and...
Here is Arthur Hu's website: http://www.arthurhu.com/ This Asian-American not only claims that East Asians are smarter than Whites, but that Whites are smarter than Africans. He has a variety of data on his site which he uses to back up his claims. Don't know how valid any of it is, but the...
The co-author of "The Bell Curve" Richard Herrnstein was ethnically Jewish. Another race realist is Arthur Hu, an American-Asian who studies ethnic differences and he concluded that East Asians were more intelligent than Whites, on average.
Here is a review I found of this book right now when searching Google:

Routing The Race Deniers (Not That They’ll Notice)
By Steve Sailer
Read mensnewsdaily.com interview with Steve Sailer...
Many intellectuals pride themselves on how remote their theorizing is from...
I don't know if what you said is true or not, but, ultra-liberals are not calling for the sterilization of Blacks and Mexicans, like ultra-Conservatives do. Since radical Conservatives specifically attach non-Whites, and with non-Whites already 30% of the American population, and growing very...
Some more excerpts from the book:
Here is one example where first dogs, then humans were analyzed, with radically different reactions:
"We next enter into the transcript the following quotation from Professor Freedman, who conducted some of the most important of these studies: 'I had...
A new super-cool book is "Race: The Reality of Human Differences," by Vincent Sarich and Frank Miele, 2004 (click here to read the whole book). Here are some interesting excerpts from the book:
"Strong evidence in the case for race comes from examining the amount of variation actually...
There is more scientific evidence supporting a biological origin of human behavior than a supernatural origin.
Actually, plenty of research is available in the field of psychometrics and behavioral genetics that explains much of human behavior.
Yes, pragmatists choose to have tangible...
What's up everyone,
Transhumanism is the belief that humans should be biologically/physically improved. This field materialized I believe around 1985 and formed the first organization, the Extropy Institute http://www.extropy.org/ around 1989 I believe.
Transhumanists seek to use radical...
And I don't deny that. The fact that the emotion of love evolved means it must have been reproductively advantageous (do you believe in Darwinian evolution?) meaning that humans have needed love for their offspring to survive long enough to reproduce and so on.
yes, there may be a...
Exactly. Have you ever seen the inside of the brain? It's billions of neurons with trillions of synapses, all emerged in a liquid that carries hormones and other chemicals that interact with the synapses. Going through the axons and dentrites are ionic charges made of sodium and potassium...
Even if he wins, ultra-conservatives like him would never achieve much power overall due to the multi-ethnic voting make-up of the United States. Look at Ultra-Conservative David Duke, he has been trying for decades to get into Congress, but those "darn colored people" just keep on getting in...
The silicon substrate of computers may produce a different type of consciousness in the robot person than it does in you, the organic person.
So, I would argue that the silicon person would indeed be an intelligent life-form, but one whose state of consciousness may be quite different from...
