Probably more informative that most human behavior and psychiatric GWASes. And at least in this case, in contrast to the above, the methane “phenotype” is a reliably measured valid construct.

N. Cofnas wants to bring the IQ "hereditarian revolution" to Brussels, the "capital of Europe." The EU and NATO are headquartered in Brussels and are supporting the ethnic cleansing and genocide of non-white peoples. Seems like the "revolution" had already taken hold there.
Strait of Hormuz and is threatening to destroy Iranian civilization if his demands aren’t met. This is not normal. This is not acceptable. Show up and Speak out.

The Nazi/"racial hygiene" origins of psychiatric genetic research have also been whitewashed. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/23180223/

The answer is extraordinary simple. There are no causal “genes for schizophrenia. “ EF Torrey discussed schizophrenia DNA-based research as a search for a “psychiatric yeti.” Torrey was right.
In 1854, the California Supreme Court ruled that "Chinese people" are "a race...whom nature has marked as inferior, and who are incapable of progress or intellectual development beyond a certain point." Now, the average Chinese IQ is among the highest in the world. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/People_...
We went to ask Rep. Maria Elvira Salazar a simple question:
If you claim to love the Cuban people… why support policies that starve them?
No oil. No medicine. No answers.
A good 2025 article by Peter Simons of @mad-in-america.bsky.social describing how genetically oriented researchers keep beliefs intact by claiming behavioral gene discoveries that are not real (not to mention the earlier 25-year-long "candidate gene" era flop).

I guess with race science discourse still percolating, I should re-up my starter pack for people who work on the topic
The “Schizophrenia is 80% Heritable” Fallacy: Deconstructing a Twin Study Meta-Analysis

🇨🇺 💗 We're flying to Cuba with a plane full of medical aid & delegates to support the Cuban people in the face of the heinous US blockade.
DSM-6 Will Be Structured Around Biomarkers—Despite Acknowledgment There Aren’t Any
by Peter Simons
The subcommittee was created to use biomarkers to reorganize the whole project. The problem? They acknowledge that such biomarkers have not yet actually been found.

Time to reject the common claim that schizophrenia/psychosis is "80% heritable." My new (paywalled) article in the Review of General Psychology:

Dropsite reports “Black rain” + “nuclear winter” caused by Israeli strikes on oil depots in Tehran
- chemicals are producing acidic precipitation that causes skin burns + severe lung damage on contact
- the rain is corrosive + could damage structures
- heavy metals leaking into soil/water systems
I imagine that this all looks like a long-awaited dream come true for the apocalyptic millenarianists in the Trump admin. In their eyes, the more hellish, the better.
This is disgusting, but also a tacit admission of just how horrible and indefensible it is.
It is still happening. No country is stepping in. Cuba has helped so many movements and people around the world and they are being abandoned to die
Had to doublecheck the date on this
Jewish Voice for Peace denounces the immoral and illegal war on Iran launched by the United States and Israel last night. These attacks expand the endless wars that could destroy the lives of tens of millions of people.
Today’s military strikes on Iran — carried out by the United States and Israel — mark a catastrophic escalation in an illegal war of aggression. Bombing cities. Killing civilians. Opening a new theater of war.
For those still interested, "The Gene" by Siddhartha Mukherjee (2016) tells a false story about twin research and the genetics of psychiatric conditions. See my 2019 article.

From the occupied West Bank to Gaza, the Israeli government is committing ethnic cleansing. We will not look away.
Inspired, in part, by the founder of the psychiatric genetics field, Ernst Rüdin, and his followers in the "Munich school" of psychiatric genetics. At that time, it was the only school of psychiatric genetics.

Regime following the eugenics of F. Galton and followers such as psychologist R. Cattell in his 1973 book "Beyondism." The APA tried to give Cattell a 1997 "Lifetime Achievement Award," despite his having called for "phasing out" allegedly "moribund cultures." www.insidehighered.com/news/2009/03...
Because they undoubtedly also believed that "anti-social behavior" and "sociopathy" are as "heritable" as IQ, did Epstein and his politician/billionaire/royal friends worry about passing their own genes down to the next generation?

🇻🇪 Venezuelan oil to Israel?
The U.S. is seizing Venezuelan oil through intermediary companies & taking sales outside of Venezuelan control.
Now, they are hijacking shipments headed to Cuba & redirecting them to fuel genocide in Gaza against the will of the Venezuelan people.
🇨🇺 The US is trying to starve 10 million Cubans.
We are bringing 2,500lbs of lentils to Cuba to break this criminal and genocidal blockade.
LIFT THE BLOCKADE ON CUBA NOW
1990s books and articles by William H. Tucker are outstanding, and include some interesting insider information.
