I doubt matching for education matches for potential. An American who drops out of highschool is not the same as a malnourished African who never had the chance

Nobody has ever claimed a 100% genetic basis of difference. The individual heritability of IQ is .5 to .8 for example Sub-Saharan diversity is a real thing, eg Bantu, Nilotic, Pygmy and Bushmen are extremely diverse (African Americans are n

It also relies on blank slate theory - ie that all groups should perform equally, and if they don't, that's evidence enough that there is a conspiracy against them. Perhaps a way to test the "different groups have different a

The mRNA vaccine took only a few days to design. So you'd save a few days, if the GoF virus happened to be exactly the same as the wild type. There is no way to rush the rest of the process, unless you want to deliberately expose peopl

They've already done loads of twin studies. IQ is 50-80% heritable.

The OP said the WIV didn't sample in Laos. Just wanted to show it did. Who knows what they sampled but haven't released - the WIV took down their virus sequence database in November 2019 and it has not been shared since.

Confirming zooinosis outside of the lab (eg outside Wuhan) would disprove lab leak Finding the animal reservoir, would disprove it was modified in the lab. I guess it would also lower the chance of a lab leak (though I could still be natura
