**Castaway: I use the term ethnic group to describe different human populations. I’ve just disarmed your entire argument… done. I’ve just proven that you suffer from perception distortions of things I say because nothing I’ve said upon these boards, attempted to corroborate ancient racist ideology. **
**Tomndebb: Actually, you responded to my destreuction of your false claim that racism ever meant “the study of races” with another wild diatribe of your perception of reality. Given that my correction of your false etymology of racism was accurate, (try a library and use the Oxford English Dictionary, not everything is on the internet, yet), the rest of your spiel was irrelevant polemic that did nothing to “disarm” my correction of your error. **
Again, major, major perception distortions on your part. The little semantics game regarding the word “racism” was a simple trivial nothing. Done. My disarming of your argument had to do with precisely what I say above… but your wires are getting crossed, probably because of how I write so I don’t blame you completely - I said “nothing I’ve said upon these boards, attempted to corroborate ancient racist ideology.” That is how I disarmed much of the nonsense you typed in my direction. Are you really not able to get that? It’s not that hard to understand.
**Castaway: Given that life is gentics (this assumes you can comprehend that…), we then can think in terms of individuals and groups of individuals and decide what freedoms should exist. This is what you call fantasy… **
Tomndebb: No, what I call fantasy is the notion that there already exist coherent groups of genetically distinct people that have some “right” to establish a homeland by dispossessing others simply to maintain their separateness.
This simply means that you are delusional, because the human race has already branched. Perhaps 100,000 years ago, whenever the most recent mutational event took place producing a superior genetic life form, the human race began a process of branching to all the lands of earth. The precise details of this are obviously not as simple as I just laid out but I’m just making the point regarding branching.
It does not matter that “genetic variation between the races is smaller than genetic variation within the races.” For two reasons:
-
The races, as we’ve already discussed, are too broad of a category and so, given that, it really wouldn’t be a surprise to me that “genetic variation between the races is smaller than genetic variation within the races.” However, this doesn’t mean the science on that is done. We are still in the infancy of genetic science and broad conclusions like the one just mentioned cannot be reliably made yet. If you aren’t aware that their is a “liberal” agenda to spin genetic science to the “all one human genetic mass” tyranny, go here http://human-nature.com . (I gave the wrong link before).
-
To the level of tribe or ethnic group, the genetic variation is what it is, and that is the level of “genetic freedom” that I am talking about. No matter how much you wish that phenotypic probability differences don’t exist among the various ethnic groups of the word, they do. They are as real as life itself. It does not matter how different the groups are. We could all be clones and the next generation would produce people with genetic variation - that world would have every right to pursue genetic freedom. You can suppress it and point a gun at them to force them to all be part of “the one human mass.” But eventually freedom wins against ignorance of that kind.
I further note that all the people who believe in this “genetic separation” have wildly different ideas of who will be allowed to join their little enclaves.
It’s Genetic Freedom… Genetic segregation would be more accurate than “Genetic separation” if people perceive definition #1 or #3 as I listed far above (which they don’t). We are all already genetically separated by default. You don’t decide who Genetically free groups allow in, they do. That’s the freedom. Currently you wish to enforce “The one human genetic mass” ideology, as if that is somehow freedom for intelligent genetic life. Think about a branching tree… life branches, it’s nothing to fear. But I do understand why you fear it.
When I point out a group that is successfully doing that without dispossessing others, you whine that their success is due to their control of education without putting forth any reason why your little groups could not control their education.
I didn’t whine, I’m just pointing out the facts… If a coherent ethnic group lives in a 3 x 3 mile community, why would you want to move into it? Why would you want laws to support the notion that anybody can enter into, and alter that communities free expression of culture and Genetic Freedom? You are on the side of oppression here… not me.
Basically, unless you are going to forbid radios and TVs throughout your little homeland and you are going to put a serious filter on the internet, (or, more likely, simply deny it to your children) even your little segregated homeland is going to see the same media. (Are you going to forbid your denizens from getting sattelite TV? Can you guarantee that you can find a distant locale that cannot bring in AM radio every evening? )
Different ethnic groups deserve to own and control their own media, unless they delegate that to others who responsibly do it.
Given that I do not believe that you can find a real group interested in “genetic separation” who can even agree upon who gets to be a member*
Many such groups already exist. Some are extremist and would not deserve the right to genetic freedom till they altered their mindset. The Japanese are hardly extremists. Black communities in philadelphia who have expressed interest in having their own “local communities” are not extremists. Etc… etc… If people genuinely don’t want this freedom, fine. But we all need to be taught about it - something that isn’t done today.
1, that there is no way to establish youir homelands without violence (even if it is “merely” evicting current owners)*
More delusions and perception distortions from your mind. It is accomplished via natural attrition and mutual respect.
2, and that there is no legitimate way to keep your children away from “corrupting” media that is not already available to you without creating your homelands, I do, indeed, believe that your ideas are a fantasy.
As I stated already, ethnic groups deserve to own and control their own media outlets unless they delegate to others… naturally.
(Not to mention, of course, that the tiny population that would actually elect to segregate themselves in that way would probably become too inbred to survive pretty quickly–not that theree is anything wrong with that.)
You don’t have a firm grasp of genetics… deleterious mutations can easily be removed from populations via intelligent selection. Some communities of Jews were able to eliminate Tay-Sacks disease using such intelligent reproductive trends.
*1 I defy you to show me any group that can actually agree on their membership rolls–with concrete examples of how they would establish the rules.
Give it a few more years and perhaps even decades… this concept is in it’s infancy.
*2 I defy you to show me any way to establish your homeland without stealing land.
The essay explains that… no problem.
If you claim that you have a “right” based on “genetic diversity” then I am going to ask why a group could not do the same thing, based on religious or economic belief. Why should your belief trump theirs?
Genetics are the first, most fundamental factor of “what we are.” If we can gather together into our religious groups etc… without promoting violence and hatred of other groups, then we could do that as well… I have no problem with that under the conditions I mentioned. I certainly don’t want my kids to be brainwahsed by Christianity…
