Reading things like culture of critique would be too hard? It's not long. Much better than an absurd, amateur survey. I say that because I like my answers to be thorough so someone with a pre-fabbed narrative cant just claim to know my meaning, and I tend to answer with what the right trend is rather than an absolute binary. And these are loaded questions, it's just to come back with the same lamentations about collectivism or some other term to designate wrongthink

People were right to point out the comments, but again, inferior. No one should expect comments to be robust justifications

I doubt he really cares about these ideas, or else he'd do the mild reading rather than asking commenters on his videos which will doubtless be less rigorous defenses of said ideas. For example... The contribution of genetics to culture has been explained to him many times by people like myself and Pale_Primate (and others of course, even Stardusk tried). Falls on deaf ears in favor of "cultural tabula rasa" as he explained in his chat with Stardusk. So I think he is a bit selective on what he wants to hear. I will do it again and it will remain unconsidered.

1. IQ is itself an index of personality traits, so if IQ and cognitive profile differ by race (which they do) then culture will be affected

2. The worldwide diostribution of personality affects culture

3. All behavioral traits are heritable

4. Evidence of genetics impacting our personality and the kinds of values we like.

Matter is not settled but there's no reason to assert, based on the testimony of Locke, that there is no backing for the idea. But that's all I ever see.
