Summary
An email from Joscha Bach to Jeffrey Epstein dated July 23, 2016. The correspondence discusses controversial theories regarding neuroscience and genetics, specifically linking them to racial differences in cognitive vs. motor development, gender differences in interest in abstract systems vs. social relations, and cultural differences regarding authority between Chinese and Jewish populations.

Some thoughts I meant to send back for a long time:
no worry, if i understand correctly you are suggsting there are layers 1 through N . lets cal them L 1 -
Ln. there are times T 1- Tn / and then conjecture that changing the time . correlations ( by genetic swtch or
other method. , you might be able to make blacks smarter by changing the time for motor layer
development and changing the time for other layers. . ). like telemeres for the cell , are their equivalents for
the layers. . as you talked about culling the unused neurons in each layer, each neuron in each layer would get
dfferent ( kill yourself if you are not being used instructions ).

Exactly. I looked up the statistics, black kids in the US have slower cognitive development (and never catch
up), which the study of course attributed to social factors without any evidence, and they had faster motor
development! I suspect this means their brains are slower at learning high-level concepts, because the low-level
structures are optimized for a shorter time. But they will keep the lead in motor development, because it is
easier to learn, and they have more time and attention to practice once they get the structures in place.

It could also be that they have an additional set of learning directives in place that adapts them better to a more
hunting/running style of life, whereas the Europeans had to adapt for identifying long-term seasonal patterns,
delayed gratification for agriculture etc.

I suspect gender differences are mostly motivational, i.e. we have a reward system for all the different social
and cognitive needs, which makes us receive different kinds of pleasure and pain, thereby pay attention and
learn. You cannot learn what does not attract your attention. Women tend to find abstract systems, conflicts and
mechanisms intrinsically boring. Most women in computer science do not write programs because they enjoy
solving puzzles, but because they want to help people, get approval etc. There are almost no women in math,
because it does not help people or yield social attention.

Men tend to find elaborate social relations boring. If there is no pleasure in observing and empathizing with
people, one will not have good social cognition.

IQ is not the only meaningful difference. Chinese pay an inordinate amount of attention to authority. I suspect
historically., the authorities tended to kill them a lot if they did not. Jews tend be intellectually independent and
anti-authoritarian, which might make them creative and inventive in ways that are hard to find in Asia.

At the moment, I think speed/quality of brain development plus motivational system are the key to
understanding both mind and individual differences. Important part of human language might be the result in a
motivational need to discover/invent grammatical structure, which as a side effect makes us interested in music.
It would mean that Chomsky’s life long hypothesis, that people have a special circuit for grammatical language,
is wrong. They might be GENERAL learners, just like Gorillas, but with a strong motivational urge to build
