Humans are more emotional and social beings than intellectual. Being smart can help but if their intelligence comes at the cost of social and emotional awareness. then it can be an even bigger detriment to success. Which is why many parents will often dread their kids having autism moreso than contracting polio.
Imo human evolution is to explain for the differences in intelligence in men and women. For men, there’s a benefit to having some guys to be dumb muscle, because they can contribute force. Likewise there is a benefit to having some autists that could discover new things like how to make new weapons that may give them an edge in survival or on the battlefield. In a similar vein the ability to recognize patterns was key to success in both hunting and warfare.
With women there was more evolutionary pressure to be aware socially. This can largely be chalked up to humans long gestation periods which makes them vulnerable for a significant portion of time. A woman that couldn’t fit in would easily fall prey to predators or just the hazards of the wild. So if they were smarter on average but it came at the cost of social ineptitude, then they’d be at greater risk of death. Likewise if a woman was extremely dumb it’d put her and her children at greater risk of being ostracized, killed, etc.
There was a similar lamentation amongst Nordic scholars in regards to ruins. That’s why finding a longboat was such a big deal because many had a chip on their shoulder that they didn’t have pyramids like the pagans of Egypt, Central America, or the Mediterranean. Personally I think ruins are overrated and I find frontiers to be the most interesting, so it didn’t really bother me personally. (I happen to be more fascinated by Nordic, Turkic, Mongolian, and other such people than say the Romans or Han Chinese).
A major issue I have with some African scholars in the US is there isn’t really a pan African culture and trying to look at Africa through the lenses of race really distorts the picture of the continent. For example Northern Africa was more connected to the rest of the Mediterranean and had little in common with South Africa who for all intents and purposes where on the other side of the world. Their language, culture, religion, values, and even their geographical landscape were entirely different.
Trannies will take resources away from women in stem and pose an existential threat to women’s sports. *Edit* I don’t think they’re going to get displaced entirely though in politics. Even in extremely male centric societies, elite women can have a lot of soft and hard power. Plus the only reason that trannies got this far is off the coattails of normal homosexuals.
