Been watching these airplane boats hauling ass all over the bay for months. I'm glad the kiwi's are winning. I've been rooting for them.Quote:

Do you think the kiwi's will bring back the traditional sailboats for the cup? I sure hope so. Screw Oracle, imo.
Ive been meaning to ask you about that , I really love watching it ///
well these cups are never won until the very end as anything can happen
I think they will keep the catamaran but make it smaller so its cheaper
Also if they win it they may make it so only people from their own country may be in each team.
Here's the culprit, the map maker, a frickin' Norseman no less!

Ok good for you doc.
I could write a whole thesis on my thoughts of the Aboriginals, I can see why they would score lowest on western style standardised IQ tests, having said that there is something about them beyond this that is hard to put down into words, you kinda have to meet 'em to know what I mean, they are definately not like Africans although they clearly show physiological similarities and an early genetic divergence from African stock at about 45 to 50 ky.
I will ponder this some more and pen my thoughts, I may even start a separate thread...
Just to get htis clear I have predominantly Irish heritage, if that isn't obvious from this thread, haha, just so you know I'm not an indiginous Australian...
Wasn't Forest Gumps IQ just under 80?
60 and you would probably have trouble tying your shoes.
actually I have been pondering the ingenuity of the charts a lot since I posted... and they all seems to to fit right in the "racial divide and conquer" mantra ...

Africa is certainly lower than Australia,
sure on a continent like Africa, it is obvious... but I am not trying to compare at all. People who live in the jungle or in very deep poverty have other perceptions which we do NOT have (yet)... or have lost
actually I should have been careful before talking the first time...
So it is what I said on page one. The map shows the IQ of the original population of the country...Quote:

aeondaze, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the original people. I got a lot of respect for them. I hate seeing whats been done, being done to them.
It has been an interesting time here in the SF Bay with the cup and all. Seeing these cats going 40 knots right at you, while you are in a boat doing 6 knots, gives a feeling of awe.Quote:

Perhaps if the AC went back to monohull boats, more traditional, I'd be more interested. Do you ever read latitude 38? It's a good, free publication here, all about sailing, there's a lot of good letters written and published....
Here's the online link.

The part about Eastern Europe and Russia is what makes it racially bias.Quote:

This still doesn't negate the original inbreeding and Aboriginal in Australia though.
How about you try some facts instead of you're predisposition for spurious trash.Quote:

Of our 23,000 protein-coding gene base pairs, we get 11,500 from each of our parents, 5,750 from our grandparents, 2,875 from our great-grandparents, and so on. That repeated division means that by the fifteenth generation - which is only a few centuries ago - your average ancestor (assuming zero inbreeding) is contributing, on average, less than a single gene to your current genome. Go back a thousand years to the 30th generation, and the average genetic contribution is effectively zero.
While it isn't really accurate to say that we're all inbred, at least not in a genetic sense, it might actually be fair to say that we're all the descendants of inbred people. Numerous theories have been put forward about a huge decrease in the human population tens of thousands of years ago - one particularly extreme version suggests the human population in sub-Saharan Africa remained under 2,000 for as much as 100,000 years, while more moderate hypotheses suggest a population bottleneck of about 15,000 that occurred about 70,000 years ago. Either population bottleneck would most likely necessitate fairly extensive inbreeding, and that's backed up today by the relatively low level of genetic variation within humans.
Here is what an IQ of 173 gets you

Former Amazon CFO Joy Covey dropped out of high school, used her 173 IQ to get to Harvard Business School, helped Jeff Bezos take Amazon public--and then proved that you can lead a full and very rich life beyond business.
FORTUNE -- Joy Covey, who was Amazon.com's CFO in its startup days and guided the company through its IPO, died Wednesday in a bicycle accident in California. Covey, 50, was reportedly struck while cycling on Skyline Boulevard in the mountains of San Mateo County. She leaves an eight-year-old son, Tyler.
Moral?
You can be road kill with a high IQ as easily as the dumbest person on earth.
