I don't completely buy these guys methodology, I think there low measurements are overly exaggerated, but it will give you and idea of the magnitude of the problem:

Average IQ by country


There was no consist ant methodology across countries, nor did they control for things such as body morphology or, as previously mentioned, nutrition levels, which do effect cognitive ability.

They were slaves in Africa. The major unit of currency in Africa was slaves.


Imagine a corporate oligarchy so effective, so advanced and fine tuned that its citizens still call it a democracy.

Average IQ is growing.. By roughly 15 points per 50 years. This is due to education, nutrition and health. Mostly education.

So, the average IQ in the US in early 1900 where 70 compared to todays 100.


Baby Boomers, has an average IQ of 85.. the same as todays Africans. Which is 85.


The US in the last 40 years:

Socialism for big corporations and military industrial complex

&

Rugged individualism for the individual.

That's the figure for American blacks, who are all shades due to mixture with whites. Sub-Saharan blacks (dark skinned) have an average IQ of 70, and these figures hold true regardless of poverty or wealth.

The average IQ in Israel is 95 vs, for example, Italy which is 102.

Jewish IQ being an average of 115 is an artifact of how a Jew is determined for the measure, i.e., by self-identification. Those who self-identify as Jews come from long lines of practicing Jews. In order to remain a practicing Jew in good standing, one must acquire a minimum competency in Hebrew by the age of 13. This sample selection process will naturally skew towards a higher average IQ, since it entirely cuts off the extreme left side of the IQ normal curve.

It would be akin to measuring the IQ of Baptists by only measuring the IQ of Baptists who've graduated from a Baptist middle school. You'd find that figure to be around a standard deviation above 100, i.e., around 115.

Not everyone in Israel is Jewish, Of course your hatred for the Jewish People obstructed your ability to understand that.

THAT is the dilemma.

What do you do when your economy becomes so oriented toward highly complex skill sets that 10% of your population is left so far behind that the best they can do is stay out of the way of the competent, and do nothing??

Then they do the jobs that they can do & are "capable" & businesses are not required to hire anyone not qualified.

That will surely lead to a 2 or more caste system & that is exactly what all the entitlements are designed to circumvent, hence the current situation.

People, races, nations are surely not created with equal talent, smarts or resources.............ignoring that is ignoring the laws of nature.

That's it in a nutshell........everyone is NOT born equal to everyone else. It is the liberal/socialist/leftist mindset that believes that way. It's just the way things work, as the OP said, it's the law of nature. God may love all his children, regardless of their skin color, but I do not believe that He intended for part of them to sit on their asses and let the rest do the work.

Some people, races, nations are just going to be ahead of the rest because of such things as work ethic and intelligent thinking, and to believe any other way is just plain ignorant.

There are a lot of ignorant people in the U.S., UK, Germany, Sweden..................etc.

Either through choice & indoctrination or a fluke of nature; just sayin.

We have an increasingly automated service economy with a select few doing the complicated stuff.
As long as the masses continue to do a good job of channeling money to certain businesses we have a "good economy".

The subject has come up before and freeloaders have existed since time began.
