I'm not a troll, I believe this. I'm actually baffled that people can't see how obvious it is. I'm highly credentialed/successful in the tech industry. In the case that I have no i…

Fair enough, but do you have an argument against what I am saying?

Will no one actually argue the topic at hand? Are you really taking time out of your day to post this!? Iq is a proxy for intelligence, it's not perfect, but it is a massive predic…

With all due respect, for the purpose of what we are arguing here, this pisses me off. Why do I even waste my time trying to make an argument when you spew this.

It's actually a little embarrassing how much I know about the topic. I find evolution interesting. The more I study and understand, the more I am astounded by people's chosen ignor…

The whole tenant of evolution is that great effective genes are passed on and reflected in offspring. By arguing that there is no genetic difference you are arguing that IQ cannot …

"Whatever role genetics play in IQ are most certainly not manifested in the concentration of melanin in one's skin or the coarseness of one's hair or the color of one's eyes or the…

Really? Scientifically it has been proven over and over. It just isn't mainstream.

Case in point right here. Somehow there is this big conspiracy where certain groups of people, unanimously across the world, across all of human time, do worse than other groups of…

Is nobody willing to acknowledge the reality of genetically inherited IQ? It's like all of our political system is designed around subverting this reality. I suppose society that o…

is she hot? men dont value women as much for professional achievements...

Since when is it cool to brag about what drugs you have done? You must still be in college/high school.

I don't, I'm just saying a huge majority of elite high paying jobs are filled by top ten degrees.

Right, but a phd is a different case than a bachelors. UT Austin is also a solid school.

True but that guy probably got hired to shuffle data around, work on build systems, or A/B test the color of a button on a web page. He's not writing google's predictive advertisin…

I know a good amount about the tech scene in nyc. It works like this, you can get paid a bunch by google or fb, maybe amazon. Sure if you make it in as a state school college grad …

College degree matters way more than people like to admit. It matters in tech. If you get hired at google out of CMU, you are going to work in a better group with higher salary tha…

Right, but its likely the people replaced here wrote ETL jobs and corporate web pages.

This is the future of the technology industry. There is no fighting it, you cannot fight with the forces of the free market. The salary differential between US based tech workers a…

Right, but startups do employ large numbers of competent engineers. VC money drying up means those engineers start competing for the same jobs. Quantitative easing has caused stock…

Less VC money means less demand for engineers. Less demand for engineers means dropping wages. Higher levels of outsourcing and H1Bs also means dropping wages. American engineers t…
