"Jugaad" does play a role, but another dimension underreported on is the extreme physical frailty of elderly Indians. They would be highly overrepresented among those who truly need a wheelchair. Sarcopenia hits them much harder because they are starting out from a lower baseline

Especially wealthy Indians. Because Indians start out with very low lean mass, largely due to genetics, but accentuated by diet and enviroment, they have to keep moving or working in order to maintain any functionality at all into old age.

Assortative mating is not perfect. Clark found a 0.8 correlation between father status among married couples. Because of this, your descendants will slowly move towards the mean of your breeding population with each new generation.

The plus side of bringing Jews into the wider breeding population is that the rest of us can "steal" those higher status genes and incorporate them into our own gentile society, raising the genetic SES of gentile society. The downside is that there will fewer geniuses, as...

Those high IQ genes being concentrated in one breeding population in the form of Jews results in more very high achieving people than if they blended into the wider society, even if the societal average is the same in both cases.

Nobody was moving like American Jews between 1967 and 1996. Never before seen levels of EHC unleashed by American capitalism and pluralism, before the pluralism killed the goose that laid the golden egg by encouraging too much goy genetic intrusion which proved to be ruinous.

1967 to 1996 was the "Peak Era" of Jewish enrollment at Harvard, remaining consistently at 20-25%. This probably tracks with the peak era of Jewish cultural influence in the United States.

But as with the Huguenots in England, their genetic absorption is a positive for the US, because those genes still exist, even if more distributed. It will have a negative effect in reducing the length of the right tail of our IQ distribution, but... teapaw.org/Shiftant/status/211230…

He uses Huguenots in England as an e.g. Even though the elite status of Huguenot descendants has declined since they arrived, that is compensated for by their increased share of the pop. Their absorption into England caused a permanent genetic increase in English IQ/capability.

That is somewhat counterbalanced by a more cohesive society. (e.g., if Huguenots still were a distinct minority that were conspicuous in England, that would probably not be good for that country's politics.)

The Jewish decline at Harvard (and other Ivies) is more than just a function of the decline in whites in general. They were 40% of Harvard whites in 1992, vs 23% in 2025.

65% of of white undergraduates at Cornell can't really be Jewish, right? Something must be wrong here.

I know the "white" group is referring to all whites, not just non-Jewish whites, because elsewhere Harvard's non-Jewish white share is shown to be 23%, not 30%.

"Admixed Americans" (i.e., Latinos) have the East Asian-type hair trait from their Siberian ancestors, but not the East Asian alcohol flush trait.

🔴 Even within East Asia, the alcohol-flushing variant varies sharply: 27% in Southern Han Chinese versus 4% in Dai Chinese in the reference samples. ALDH2 shows how a single genetic change can produce a familiar physiological reaction. substack.davidepiffer.com/p/…

Indigenous Americans share many of the ancient East Asian traits (anatomical and behavioral), but not the modern (post-agricultural) ones.

Trump lost white voters in the West by 1 point, and won White voters in the northeast by 1 point.
