I know human biodiversity isn't the most popular topic, but why doesn't anyone say anything? Well, not really 'anyone'. @unruly actually responded via posts and invited me to respond. Why are most other people not willing to say anything?
A few people do seem upset. At least you haven't been upset.
I've upvoted the odd post of yours in the past when I've read it and considered some part of the content interesting, other posts seem simplistic and low effort though.
I attract the odd downvote at times as well, perhaps try to post some more varied content so people don't tag you as the hbd zealot.
I think there are scientific differences between races, but it's a very complex topic, most people have trouble with the concept of averages and want to rank poorly chosen categories on simplistic 1D scales. I'm happy to steer clear of the pseudo-scientific mess and focus on more important things.

True. I do some writing on Poal and I could try here too.

Good point. I don't want to annoy people. Thank you for the advice!
Lack of interest. It's not that I don't believe there's differences in people of different races or whatever this is actually about, it's just that I don't really care to discuss it. I'm of the opinion that our natural groups all have pros and cons, things we're good at and things we're not. I don't think it's inferiority or superiority, just difference.

While I understand the reasons behind that sentiment, I have to disagree. If some races have longer legs on average they are on average better at running. There are strengths and weaknesses that are of varying degrees of importance like basic survival, living in different climates and existing in modern society (I'm not trying to imply living in the modern world is least important, it's just that those traits are relatively newer).
Any biodiversity that shows whites having an advantage will be declared racist and the ISP will have it removed if they see it. So to me you couldn't really have an honest discussion about it. I am less interested in any differences than I am in what individuals do or believe. I'm interested in Neanderthals and stuff though.
Some pretty racist stuff has been tolerated here in the past - I think the occasional reasoned discussion of IQ or some advantages of being pasty would be fine.

I forgot about that. I guess this is encouragement to focus on non-whites and probably away from IQ too. Not terrible, honestly.
I've seen some interesting stuff that I save to read later (most of the time I don't have a whole lot of time browse so the save function is my best friend). The thing here is that most non-platform subs don't get a lot of attention, also there aren't many active users here comment frequently.

Very true.
because i dont see it as interesting or relevant
