@banashar12 If I1 is his y-chromosome, he only carries a snippet of what is likely SHG DNA. I don't think I'd primarily identify with it either. And the SHG were anything but peaceful themselves. I feel more bad about the EEF, although I doubt they were saints either.

@thomas_iver Also, what I find strange is that he actively defends the population that directly caused the replacement of his lineage across much of W&CE Europe, rather than his low neuroticism.

I genuinely can’t understand how people with I1 or I2 could defend IEs, given the fact BB genocided them in Western & Central Europe. And I say that as someone permaseething at J for merely outbreeding my own people in the Levant. x.com/Tom_Rowsell/st…

@banashar12 Well, if I1 originated in Scandinavia, it was not wiped out on the continent, and autosomally, all Europeans are significantly IE. Anyway... 5k years ago. If we can't make peace with them, despite being 50% them, it doesn't look good for human ability to achieve peace.

@thomas_iver I’m not denying that merging occurred in some cases, which is precisely why I specified Western and Central Europe, where we see a 90% replacement rate in favor of R1b.

@IanMalcolm84 OHI is a hypothetical thing. Grok can't really grade you on it. Something similar to it likely exists, but Grok rating us on it when asked isn't evidence of it.

Never forget, X censors you based on your OHI score, including your “observation”, “hostility”, and “influence”. Let’s examine each.

@Tom_Rowsell @banashar12 Do you agree it originates in SHG now, Tom? You seemed quite offended when I suggested that a few years ago. The SHG are a very cool people in that they survived the Corded Ware (Single Grave/Boataxe) and blended with them. Height, pale skin, blue eyes...

@banashar12 Because haplogroups aren’t peoples or ethnicities

@sifferkontot @0007ferrero @ArtemisConsort Yes, I believe it is outdated, but perhaps it is the other way around.

@thomas_iver @0007ferrero @ArtemisConsort I am aware of that theory and think it seems like it makes sense, yes. Reich seems to present a somewhat alternative explanation in the video however.

@Tom_Rowsell @sudas1891 @elonmusk His theory doesn't jibe with what I have previously read, though. The Corded Ware are a sibling group to the Yamnaya, not derived from them. Both are descended from the Sredny Stog and split a few hundred years before their respective expansions in opposite directions

@sudas1891 @elonmusk Didn't you hear what Reich says? Yamnaya females were married out to corded ware first.

@RaghavSaivv @ArtemisConsort Northern Brahmins are often 25-30% Steppe descended; they are cousins of Europeans.

@RaghavSaivv @ArtemisConsort Domination in Europe, yeah. They killed the men and spared the women. An important reason they spread likely is that they were looking for wives they couldn't find in their own polygamous tribes. They did the same in the East; that's how the upper Indian castes were born.

@sifferkontot @0007ferrero @ArtemisConsort Sredny Stog were Caucasus Hunter Gatherers and Eastern Hunter Gatherers. Scandinavian Hunter Gathers were Eastern Hunter Gatherers and Western Hunter gatherers. Early European Farmers descended from Anatolian Neolithic Farmers.

@sifferkontot @0007ferrero @ArtemisConsort In the north, other Corded Ware, primarily Single Grave, became the ancestors of Scandinavians after picking up Scandinavian Hunter Gatherer DNA. So, Europeans: Sredny Stog, Early European Farmers, and Scandinavian Hunter Gatherers.

@0007ferrero @ArtemisConsort I'm not making a comment on culture. That is an interesting but separate debate. Genetically, they were 75% Yamnaya. Look it up if you don't believe me. This is easy to test.

@thomas_iver @ArtemisConsort Not how it works. They don't descend from Yamnaya (even if they have steppe_EMBA ancestry) and it's likely their eschatology and religion was different too..it's also very likely they predate the Yamnaya..

@0007ferrero @ArtemisConsort The corded ware were 75% Yamaya, genetically. They mixed as they moved further from the Black-Caspian Sea region

@ArtemisConsort Many memetics and genetics of Indians, Slavs, Balts, some Germans don't descend from Yamnaya but from the Corded Ware expansion. The Corded ware is very special because of it's method of sex-mirrored burials, which still influences how we do ritual in India.

@lundgren_rosa @jonatanpallesen Just consider it late term abortion and palliative care.

@jonatanpallesen > That so many people are pressing blue is evidence of evolutionary group selection. Not necessarily: Once you realize that toddlers and senile elderly will *also* have to press, then blue becomes the rational choice. Nothing to do with instinct.

That so many people are pressing blue is evidence of evolutionary group selection. For some reason many people and scholars have become convinced that group selection doesn't exist. For example, Steven Pinker wrote an article called "The False Allure of Group Selection". The thinking is that it can never be evolutionarily an advantage to press blue, so it won't be selected for. But the thing is, groups where most press blue are selected for over groups where most press red. And humanity has spent a lot of evolutionary time in small groups / bands in which these evolutionary dynamics could play out. Some will say that this is just individual selection acting on reputation dynamics, and misfiring on an abstract stimulus. Which is fine. But reputation psychology this strong doesn't build itself out of pure individual selection. Something had to make that instinct worth having: internalizing "don't be the kind of person who saves themselves while others die" so deeply that it fires even when no one is watching. That something is group selection. One could imagine humans without any flavour of group selection, where everyone would press red without a second thought. But that is not how we evolved.

@RappyGrinder @japan_nobunaga Ehhh... It's the Israeli flag all your politicians fly.

@japan_nobunaga Only leftists hates their own nation flag. This behavior is very similar in multiple nations. Meanwhile they treat Palestine flag 🇵🇸 or Pride flag 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈 as if it's their founding fathers.

My hands are shaking writing this. A small Japanese flag, the size of a paperback book, tied to the bumper of a city bus on a Japanese national holiday in 2026. And online, someone is calling it "discriminatory." A flag. A bus. A national holiday. In Japan. In Paris, the tricolor covers every boulevard on July 14. Nobody calls it discriminatory. In Texas, every porch flies the Stars and Stripes on July 4. Nobody calls it discriminatory. In London, the Union Jack drapes Buckingham Palace for the King. Nobody calls it discriminatory. Only here. Only our flag. Only on our own holidays, on our own buses, on our own quiet streets. I keep asking how we got here. I do not have an answer. That flag is not too loud. The shame trying to silence it is.

@japan_nobunaga This has actually been going on in the West for decades. You saw a random Japanese call it discriminatory online. Meanwhile, our politicians call it discriminatory in our national assemblies. You have it very good in Japan, but watch where you're heading.

@MusSkog1414 @PepecoinMaxxer @goodfoodgal Listen... You're a liability. Just sit back and let the rest of us do the thinking.

@thomas_iver @PepecoinMaxxer @goodfoodgal Are you a Chink-Lover? A race-mixer? What about HER words are trustworthy to you?

They are going after water next. There is a LOT of talk around water.
