What an interesting question. Recently I came accross ideas about how Irish migrants to the Us became white, latter on Italian migrants also went through a process of whitenning, Jews from all over the world, or at least some of them have also been whitenned. I assume that whiteness must be different in white countries like European countries, the US, Australia or Canada. And indeed in Latin America there seem to be people who consider themselves white, but not elsewhere. Also questionable must be the whiteness of mediterranean europeans.

Compared to other ethnicities, why specifically do Northwestern Europeans seldom object to breeding with other groups?
Mainly due to systemic racism, Northwestern Europeans are highly desired as partners. Therefore, breeding with outcomes almost always brings Northwestern Europeans net economic positive benefits compensating for their diminished population.

Are there any statistics about this phenomenon? One element can be mobility, or Europeans out of Europe, as since the XVITH century europeans migrated massivelly to all corners of the world, where they bred with other people. I also think that Europeans have a great mobility that allows them compare different parts of the world, Europeans soldiers had intercourse with women from all over the world. And thirdly within Europe there must be statistics comparing them, for instance with América, where natives didnt have problems mixing with europeans, the same in the Middlle East and parts of Asia. With which other continents have you made a comparison?

I see that there are responses questioning whether reincarnation actually occurs, scientific studies, as best can be conducted, indicates that it does exist. Far too many people are able to accurately report details of an existence that they should not have knowledge of via any known physical means, sometimes details that take extensive research in restricted files to verify.
The second issue seems to be that people assume that there is just one understanding of reincarnation while in fact there are at least 4 different and widely separated cultures that generally accept it. One in India/SE Asia, one in Africa, one in the Northern portions of North America and historically one in Greece and other parts of Europe. Of these, only the India/SE Asia variety suggests that a human may reincarnate as anything other than a human. All the other cultures insist that reincarnation is always within the human species.

Epigenetic information polish then recessive privilege distribution. WARNING: Genetic engineering is DANGEROUS. Hopefully regularly polishing the epigenome will cure aging and other diseases, plus prevent side effects of genetic engineering. Also, hopefully and theoretically after the potential genetic engineering to provide recessive traits and recessive genes, if the surgery is simple enough, subjects will keep their genetic signatures.
See my profile or Substack:
Relevant answer
Answer
Your highlight "Epigenetic Information Polish then Recessive Privilege Distribution" is an intriguing concept that combines ideas from epigenetics, genetics, and possibly social theory. Let me break down my thoughts on this:
  1. "Epigenetic Information Polish": This part suggests refining or optimizing epigenetic information. It could imply:
  • Cleaning up or correcting aberrant epigenetic marks
  • Enhancing beneficial epigenetic patterns
  • Fine-tuning epigenetic profiles for specific outcomes
This is an interesting idea, as epigenetic modifications are more malleable than genetic changes and could potentially be "polished" or optimized.
  1. "Recessive Privilege Distribution": This is a more complex and potentially controversial term. It could be interpreted in several ways:
  • In genetics: Focusing on the expression or benefits of recessive traits
  • In a social context: Redistributing advantages typically associated with dominant traits or social positions to those with recessive or less prominent characteristics
The combination of these concepts is thought-provoking. It could suggest a process where:
  1. Epigenetic information is first optimized or corrected
  2. Then, this refined epigenetic state is used to influence the expression of recessive traits in a way that confers some form of advantage or "privilege"
This idea raises several questions and potential implications:
  1. Ethical considerations: How would we determine which epigenetic patterns to "polish" and which recessive traits to privilege?
  2. Technical feasibility: While epigenetic modification is possible, precisely controlling the expression of recessive traits is extremely complex.
  3. Long-term effects: How would such interventions affect future generations and overall genetic diversity?
  4. Social implications: If applied in a societal context, how might this concept interact with or challenge existing social structures?
  5. Scientific basis: While intriguing, this concept would need substantial research to establish its biological validity and potential applications.
It's an innovative and provocative idea that bridges biological concepts with potentially broader implications. However, it would require careful definition and extensive research to move from a conceptual stage to any practical application.
Would you like to elaborate on what you envision for this concept or explore any specific aspect of it in more detail?

Answer
Since when they generate a 'DNA finger print' it is normally a consensus sequence i.e., the average of many 'formally equivalent' molecules rather than a single molecule. Therefore it would likely take impossibly massive mutation/DNA modification/degradation to prevent identification.

Question

Answer
Epigenetics refers to the study of changes in gene expression that do not involve alterations to the underlying DNA sequence. This field has garnered significant attention for its potential to influence aging, combat diseases, and mitigate unwanted side effects of genetic engineering.
Aging is associated with various epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, which can lead to altered gene expression and contribute to age-related diseases like cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. By targeting these epigenetic modifications, researchers believe it may be possible to reverse or slow down the aging process. For instance, interventions that modify epigenetic markers could potentially restore youthful gene expression patterns, thereby improving cellular function and longevity.
Epigenetic therapies hold promise for treating a range of diseases. By understanding the specific epigenetic alterations associated with conditions like cancer, researchers can develop targeted therapies that either activate or repress certain genes without changing the genetic code itself. This approach could lead to more effective treatments with fewer side effects compared to traditional genetic engineering methods, which often involve irreversible changes to the genomeOne of the significant concerns with genetic engineering is the potential for unintended consequences, such as off-target effects or the activation of harmful genes. Epigenetic modifications can provide a more flexible approach to gene regulation, allowing for temporary changes that can be reversed if necessary.
This flexibility could help in fine-tuning therapeutic interventions, reducing the risk of adverse effects associated with permanent genetic alterations.

- epistemology absolutely directly is associated with biology, since all points/steps in the utmost fundamental result in epistemology – “Scientific method” , see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_method
“…An iterative,[43] pragmatic[12] scheme of the four points above is sometimes offered as a guideline for proceeding:[47]
Define a question
Gather information and resources (observe)
Form an explanatory hypothesis
Test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner
Analyze the data
Interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for a new hypothesis
Publish results
Retest (frequently done by other scientists)
The iterative cycle inherent in this step-by-step method goes from point 3 to 6 and back to 3 again. ……”

Apparently the lack of tyrosinase:
"Inhibition of tyrosinase can reduce the production of melanin and achieve skin whitening, effectively solving pigmentation (Lall and Kishore, 2014). Therefore, the development of antioxidants, tyrosinase inhibitors, and elastase inhibitors play important roles in solving skin aging and pigmentation" ( https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0926669020309766&sa=U&ved=2ahUKEwjE4pTd0KyHAxUzHEQIHTzCCpIQFnoECAEQAw&usg=AOvVaw0gD_VQbHW1t1Go0zkPQyIW ).

Abstract: Rosa chinensis cv. ‘JinBian’, a cultivar of Rosa chinensis Jacq., is one of major raw material of rose tea and possesses sufficient plant resources in China. However, the studies on the chemical constituents and cosmetic activities of R. chinensis cv. ‘JinBian’ are almost blank. The main purpose of this study was to evaluate the anti-aging, skin-whitening, and antibacterial potentials of extracts and chemical constituents of the flower by 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging, elastase inhibition, anti-tyrosinase, and antibacterial assays. Bioassay results suggested both 95 % and 65 % ethanol extracts possessed significant antioxidant, elastase inhibition, and anti-tyrosinase activities. The combined active extract was studied with bioassay-guided fractionation to give a new compound, kaempferol 3-O-α-l-rhamnopyranosyl (1→6)-(2”,3”-O-digalloyl)-β-d-glucopyranoside (1) and fourteen known compounds (2–15). All compounds were firstly isolated from this species and subjected to the above mentioned bioassays. Ten compounds exhibited antioxidant activities with DPPH radical scavenging rate from 63.40 %–94.04 % under the concentration of 100 μg/mL. The antioxidant activities of 1, 2-phenylethyl 1-O-β-d-(6'-O-galloyl)-glucopyranoside (12), vomifoliol (14), and 4, 4'-dimethoxy-3'-hydroxy-7, 9': 7', 9-diepoxylignan-3-O-β-d-glucopyranoside (15) were firstly found with DPPH radical scavenging rate of 83.24 %, 91.10 %, 63.40 %, and 77.75 %, respectively. The moderate elastase inhibitory activities of 12, ethyl gallate (13), and 15 were firstly found with the inhibitory rate of 43.69 %, 43.25 %, and 35.34 % at the concentration of 100 μg/mL. Multiflorin B (3), 12, and 13 showed strong tyrosinase inhibitory activities with the inhibition rate at 43.83 %–55.80 %, comparing with the positive control, α-arbutin (22.15 %). In addition, 1 showed significant antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus with the MIC50 of 8.51 ± 0.26 μg/mL. Compounds 2–4 and 12–14 showed moderate antibacterial activities against S. aureus. Compounds 6 and 13 also exhibited moderate inhibitory effects against Klebsiella pneumoniae. Above results manifested that R. chinensis cv. ‘JinBian’ possessed potential application values in the development of natural anti-aging, skin-whitening and antibacterial products.

I think the act of reading a favorite book often involves a journey shaped by prior reading experiences. Whether consciously or subconsciously, readers bring their accumulated knowledge, perspectives, and literary preferences to each new book they encounter. This prior reading background serves as a foundation upon which their understanding and appreciation of the favorite book are built. It may involve exposure to similar genres, themes, or writing styles, which contribute to a deeper engagement with the text and enhance the reading experience. Moreover, prior reading experiences help readers develop critical thinking skills, literary analysis abilities, and a broader cultural awareness that enriches their interpretation of the favorite book. In this way, each book becomes a stepping stone in the reader's literary journey, with prior reading laying the groundwork for the discovery and enjoyment of new favorites.

When I point unpleasant things out, people often respond by insulting me. So, under complete eugenics I would either have been killed and or castrated at this point.
If Nazis do gain control over the USA, I may be killed first because they really hate white looking people with disabilities and or subtle non white ancestry.
The more North Western European liberal nations become multiracial democracies, the more a select few elite North Western Europeans turn into the leadership base. Hence why so many politicians and other elites are North Western Europeans. Thus, the "Great Replacement" should really be named the "Great Filter" because it consolidates whiteness(state of being North Western European). North Western European liberals did not just coincidentally invent transhumanism and eugenics.

1. Take responsibility: If you make a typo in your work, acknowledge it and take responsibility for it.
2. Correct when necessary: If a typo changes the meaning of your message or leads to confusion, it's important to correct it. This ensures that your audience understands your intended message accurately.
3. Strive for accuracy: Proofread your work before sharing or publishing it to minimize the chances of typos.

A great deal of valuable research has been done on the basis of Mill's work on epistemologies of white ignorance. In particular, I find Melissa Steyn's (2012) work on white ignorance among narratives from the Apartheid Archives quite illuminating. But my own interest is on the way themes of white ignorance may (or may not) be traced among university students born in or just before 1994. There are, of course, many ways of eliciting data from students, and one needs to select the most appropriate collection method in terms of one's research focus. Is anyone else (in or outside South Africa) working specifically on white ignorance among university students?

The citations by other papers indeed reflects how your research has affected the knowledge base but does not include the actual effect on the public in general and how the information is used in practical use in daily life. Perhaps with the new NCN guidelines for treatment of diseases specially in the field of Oncology, we can have a citation use for clinical guidelines which affects the physicians who use these for their practice of their specialty. That should have a heavier weight than just citations in other papers.
