Not that anon but the sampling from the Add Health for which the study in question utilizes is irregular with respect to the races in question.

Add Health is based on U.S. school population sampling of 132 schools which attempts to reflect racial/ ethnic distribution in the country overall. If we follow the entirety of the study and not the excerpt you posted it shows while true whites have the lowest MAOA variants reported within the study. There are several other groups with the original MAOA-r3 variant higher than 50% which includes Maori 56%, Chinese 56% and Taiwanese 61% (African Americans have 58%). Two of these groups (the Maori and Taiwanese) have low population in comparison to Whites, African Americans and Chinese.

Assuming that having a higher percentage of the MAOA-R3 variant correlates to an increase probability of the R2 variant, an issue appears. The Taiwanese only make up 194,000 of the U.S. population while the Maori barely make up 2000.

Because of these low population numbers despite having roughly the same percentage of R3 as African Americans they are not sufficiently represented. On top of this Add health database appears not to have them available for sampling purposes within the context of the study. Only the Chinese appear to be confirmed as stated on the site via the wave I page involving

The reason why this is important is because the statements involving comparisons between Asians and African Americans cannot be assessed properly using the study for probability purposes in expression. As it would utilized skewed results (Beaver research only focusing on Americans) and from skewed data (Add Health small sampling of Chinese and little to no sampling of Taiwanese and Maori).

Wouldn't an easier way to de-emphasize mathematics (if you feel it's too much like white privilege) would be to create alternative tools/methodologies that come to the same empirical conclusions in logic as math? Thus you provide other paths in logic that accommodate for different thought processes?

Shit like this almost seems like a public exhibition of philosophical masturbation. Where one points out a problem and instead of providing a solution they instead revel in the socio-political limelight for bringing attention to it.

Although I suppose the alternative is spending the rest of your life actually figuring out a solution to said problem and being too old to appreciate your hard work. If anyone even gives a fuck about your work anymore due to strong A.I. doing all the hard lifting in mathematics for everyone. Thus no one caring about your alternative tools/ methodologies until several centuries later some semi-autistic introvert reintroduces the work as some form of arcane logic.

He's doing too many things too fast, the idea according to the link is to cut the federal budget by 10 trillion in 10 years. But this falls under the assumption that he will be able to successfully stay in the office for 8 years (which is not a guarantee, he can either fail to get re-elected or pass away within those 8 years since he's 70).

So instead of being logical, understanding the fragility of his situation and trying to focus his efforts on one or two major things (i.e. fix healthcare possibly social security and regulate immigration) he is instead jungling multiple issues concerning subjects that arguably neither he nor any of his cabinet are qualified to deal with (i.e. budgets concerning federal research and the logistics of federal labor).

Mind you though, I'm not really surprised. I figured this would happen since he's trying to run the government like a oversized private business but I hope /pol/ and the alt-right can one day learn to appreciate the ramifications that comes about when you elect people like this (i.e. individuals who lack awareness/knowledge of the autonomy of a government as big as the U.S.).

He most likely doesn't care about NASA since funding space programs won't aid him or the Republican majority in future elections. Remember you have to think about the electorate trying to stay in office here.

The next several years will be spent on defense, negotiating """better""" trade deals and deconstructing Obamacare.

In other words expect NASA to drop in the list of government priorities. If I were China and India I'd use this opportunity to gain speed in space funding and science in general because a Republican super majority in America right now isn't going to give any fucks about science outside auxiliary funding for military, health and cyber security.

In short, No op it won't.

>Is there an actual genetic advantage for an offspring between two races?

Replace "race" with "region" and the answer should be obvious. Yes, there are advantages but there are also disadvantages too depending on the particular environmental pressures at play in a given location.

It's a trade off on various biological characteristics, the biggest issue that should be considered is that since "flexibility" is one of our biggest advantages the ability to maintain racial mixing is a must to guarantee our survival. Doesn't mean everyone should do it all the time but the last thing our species need is to become specialists who can't into varied environment adaption.

This is of course assuming you actually cared about a serious answer and simply didn't make this for bait. Which I suspect you did because you can easily research this shit yourself using Google.
