I was actually surprised at the extent to which their arguments were so intellectually mediocre especially naked ape, these alt right types love to portray themselves as intellectuals of the skeptic community but their arguments are so laughably mediocre and easy to pick apart by just by being moderately versed in the subject that it just makes you wonder how much they actually know vs how much they think they know, and you're right i didn't hear anything about a balance of both genetic and environmental factors, they literally arguing like its a binary choice.Already caught up on this shitshow. The naked ape guy is clearly not that well versed on this subject, and it shows during this debate. ''You're poisoning the well'' seems to be his only real argument lol.
I think it's pretty obvious that different people groups around the world differ in intellectual potential. But the difference is not as extreme as alt right types like Naked Ape or Millenial woes would have you believe. This is because IQ is not ''genetic'', it's both heritable and influenced by environment. I believe the current heritability estimate is about 50-80%. What cannot be stressed enough though is that this heritability estimate is about IQ differences between individuals of the same racial group, and not about cross group differences in IQ. This quote by evolutionary biologist Richard Lewontin illustrates this point well:
People like Naked Ape assume that the difference in IQ between groups is almost entirely genetic, and people like Kraut assume that any IQ gap is mostly due to difference in environment. As with most things in life the truth is probably somewhere in the middle, or at least in my opinion. Only one way to find out for sure though, find the genes.![]()

Haven't watched these guys in a while..
Naked ape kinda annoys me sometimes tbh, and Kraut is aight..but last I listened to him-- it seemed like the german PC brainwashing was starting to kick in. What's the update with them?
Also, Why is NA getting so heated over this discussion?The only way he can feel good about himself is if he clings on to group IQ superiority..??
The only well researched yt channels out there who are capable enough to push back against the alt right that i've observed are Shaun, ContraPoints and hbomberguy, they make great videos. Shaun tears stefan molyneux apart and hbomberguy destroys sargon, its very interesting to see, they're literally the only ones from the left fighting against the alt rightDon't know about Naked Ape, but Kraut basically declared jihad on the alt right couple months ago and started producing several videos attempting to debunk them. This crusade came to an end though after he was apparently ''exposed'' for running an alt right doxxing group. This became a big scandal and he ended up apologizing. He even deleted all his videos and quit Youtube. Nacas waaye, since he only made the alt right look stronger by running away with his tail behind his legs.
Running an alt right doxxing group? As in he'd out people who're alt-right...or he was heading an alt-right group that outed sjws?Don't know about Naked Ape, but Kraut basically declared jihad on the alt right couple months ago and started producing several videos attempting to debunk them.

Basically doxxed alt right members on discord, got caught, took all his videos down and made the people hes fighting against look 100x better.Running an alt right doxxing group? As in he'd out people who're alt-right...or he was heading an alt-right group that outed sjws?
&Damn, he's still off youtube then? is the video from OP prior to the scandal?

He only has 50k subs while crazy nutjobs like Alex jones who call hijabs "Hajibs" has well over a million.Shaun is my favourite out of those three. I may not always agree with him, but man, his take downs are always so methodological and entertaining.![]()

This man is the best at exposing the Alt-Right. His name is Reich-Wing Watch.Running an alt right doxxing group? As in he'd out people who're alt-right...or he was heading an alt-right group that outed sjws?
&Damn, he's still off youtube then? Did the debate with Naked ape occur prior to the scandal?
I can't stand classical liberal skeptics.
But I can't stand the White Alt-Right either, as I am pro-white genocide.
Lol, really? After they are gone the Asians will take over. And trust me, they won't be suffering from any "Asian guilt". They are a ruthless people.![]()
Asians are robots. They have no creativity at all. I don't see them ruling the world.
The West will be ruled by racially mixed people and they won't be dumb like Latinos as Mid-easterners and East Africans have higher IQ than Native Americans and West Africans.
