"They do NOT want to do that."

Where else are they going to go to? Studying Contract or Constitutional Law?

They don't have the ability to do it. A grievance merchant is a grievance merchant plan and simple.

Actually, with the advent of applied gene therapies resulting from extensive genetic scientific research, human biodiversity will converge on universally accepted standards of beauty and intelligence.

The next stage in medical research & development will move beyond isolating and identifying critical genetic markets that cause favorable expressions. With the ability to repair and correct defective genes, procedures like limb regeneration, organ harvest and, yes, cognitive improvements will become standard and commonplace.

Given an opportunity to alter one's appearance and intelligence, which standards do you think the masses will aspire & apply? Given the opportunity to improve society, what levels of funding do you think governments will make available as part of large scale social programs? Faced with the prospect of a literal 'brain race', what kinds of military funded R&D projects will be fast tracked in a made dash to remain competitive?

What Murray said in the Bell curve was all true. What was never said (at that time) were research programs already underway to rectify the problem. The recent news the scientists have already identified around 50+- specific isolate genes that contribute to cognitive ability is merely the beginning.

Just curious, what is your source for this?

I.Q. Sub-Saharan Africans.

It's a compendium of different studies but they vary between 66 and 80.

So nature and nurture can product low IQ expanses of people who are unable to form societies, or at the same time in different places find a set of people who are able to orderly form societies, such as the Chinese Courts, European Kingdoms, or as the Greeks who gave Western Civilization a world where logic and nature nurtured enlightenment.

Class is product of physical size & strength combined with mental acuity. The Normans who conquered England were bigger, stronger and smarter. They took what they wanted, screwed who they liked, and established control systems to make sure no one could challenge their authority.

It has always been this way. It's why the lower classes are small, ugly and stupid.

I have a distinct feeling she won't take the ancestry.com test because she is 25% OWN (short for Old World Neanderthal) which accounts for the cheek bones as well as 'other things'.

This has a world map as well as a list of countries by IQ with references.

300 years ago the European Kingdoms at war with one another followed first the French Diplomacy and Banking constructs along with a form of Queensbury rules to ensure ruling elites were not killed when conquered. At the same time in the West, Christianity quelled the blood lust to kill every living person in a siege city or encampment. When the West started taking prisoners or allowing the former opposition to manifest it created the cancer that Mao tse Sung so eloquently identified as “No Man, No Problem”. Had we not evolved due to both a survival instinct and religious social structure, we would have killed everyone as the Hunter-gatherers and the Genghis Khan did before our current time. Of course Mao also made sure anyone he allowed to live would bear the brunt of the Korean Was such as sending in the former Nationalist forces to Korea, or other front lines with Russia.

The Normans who conquered England are about to be subdued by the children of the ‘Religion of Peace’ piece by piece. This only proves that a civilized people can be conquered even if the concept of civilization can't be.

Thanks for the links. Here’s what I notice:

The countries ranked at the top are:

Hongkong, Singapore, South Korea, Japan, China and Taiwan.

Is it because they are INHERENTLY superior in intellect, or is it because their educational system INSTILLS hard work and discipline?

And if we had the same discipline and hard work instilled in some African Countries for a generation, would the IQ results not be similar? Or are they INHERENTLY limited in their intellectual abilities?

I am also surprised to see Israel ranked LOWER than the USA or even the poor country, Mongolia on the IQ scale. Jews, despite their small population, disproportionately have the most scientific and Nobel prize winners in the world.

Which group is pulling their average IQ down?

Questions, questions...

“despite all the burbling on about individualism..”

That silly stuff out nation was built on.

“FReepers would do well to accept this reality.”

Cant wait for the left to apply this to us, so you can come here and complain about our technocracy and how we our losing our individual liberties as a result.

Or maybe you seriously think you are on top of some pecking order?

Sometimes I truly think the level of intelligence & discourse at FR is declining as well.

The intentional population substitution taking place in Europe & N America - with Muzzies and Hispanics respectively - is being done with the intention of exacerbating existing class differences.

S America and MENA are the two remaining predominantly non-democratic regions that are ruled by elites with no concern as to economic disparities and/or challenges to their rule.

These types of command and control systems are now being put in place to service the advantage of elites in the cradle of Western Civ. The British aristocracy doesn't care if the lower classes are Cockney or Islamic; it's all part & parcel to them.

Same true stateside - who wants gun toting freemen aggressively asserting their rights when they can be replaced with willing & compliant, weak and small latinos?

I suggest that people should study a little bit of history. It is nothing really more than competition over scarce resources. The name of the game is to dominate & control adversaries - whether they be domestic or foreign. Slavery, indentured servitude, asset distribution, criminal justice, the list goes on that provides the mechanism for ensuring power & control.

Muzzies challenging Euro elites? LOL. The stupid and ignorant (Muzzy avg IQ is 92) can never hope to compete with 115-125 (avg IQ of elite).

Oh wow, so many comments. So little time traveling back home soon. Plus hard to type on iPad.

Yeah, everyone knows how strong and smart royalty has historically been. And how aristocrats are always better human specimens than peasants.
