Question for p99 vets

[Seducio]

Where there is Yao Ming. But without getting into all the rest of the questions.

individual variability > group variability

As in individualized traits will stand out far more than any kind of genetic 'group' trait that you might be predisposed to.

Anyone who has kids finds this out the hard way.

Are you saying Yao Ming is as athletic as Lebron?

Jeremy Lin had a good run albeit for a short time.

Dikembo Mutumbo was just unbelievably tall.

So you think I'm saying ALL Race X have Y trait. So you cite Yao Ming as your example that refute this claim you've fabricated?

If I've missed the point, spell it out.

You asked for a basketball champion that is asian. I gave one. Is Yao a goat like Lebron? Maybe not but only a handful of players ever in the world (dead people) are considered at Lebron's level. Is Yao the best in China - without a doubt. He traveled to a different continent to play.

I haven't said what I think you're saying. I made a claim about the well known established fact that individual variability > group variability. It's been studied. The best way for a regular person to see this is noticing the differences in a handful of kids with the same parents. So parents with more then one kid will noticed tremendous differences despite similar genetics.

I get where you are coming from with the Bell Curve by Herrnstein/Murray. Group variability is a thing for sure. And regular people will take small samples of different races and then sometimes scale that impression up to a whole people. It typically is a limited sample that isn't representative of the whole group though.

Murray's research is fascinating. Currently it's a bit taboo and harder to find than it once was. Not many experiments are being done at this time on it at this time. Scientists are currently weary of studying group differences and variability because they are worried their research will be misinterpreted by the public. Maybe that will change in the future and the research on this will continue.
