Imagine If Sex Were Only For IQs Over 120
Scientific Blogging ^ | December 30th 2008 | Josh Witten

Posted on 12/30/2008 6:19:07 PM PST by CE2949BB

Unfortunately for all of us still breathing braniacs, the title only applies to those of us who are also medieval Ashkenazi Jews, according to the authors of the 2006 paper "Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence".

Discussing "race" and intelligence is always a touchy subject and definitely not politically correct; but science should not be fettered by the chains of political correctness like a mangy circus lion. It must run free across the intellectual savanna, striking down the juvenile wildebeest of ignorance. Following articles on the biology and significance of race by Michael White, Massimo Pigliucci, and moi, my attention was directed to "Natural History of Ashkenazi Intelligence". Thanks to press attention from biological research bell-weathers like The Economist and the New York Times, as well as discussion on National Public Radio, this paper has gained Goodyear AquatredTM-esque traction on the internet.

Now I just saw on an internet ad the other day that said “His IQ is 125, what’s yours” with a big ole picture of Obama on it. And I know it has to be true, because I saw it on the internet.

After hearing him speak I think this is yet another example of their bias. I say its 100 at most.

Under an Obama Nation, intelligence will not give a reproductive advantage.

If the Ashkenazi are so smart....then how come the Sephardi never got systematically wiped out by their neighbors?

Actually, I think that this wise ass post of mine is gonna get me slammed.

That's kinda sick, but I hope we have a big sample. Second thoughts are often best.

May not be so bad. Watch the first 10 minutes of Idiocracy sometime. Makes sense.

128 here, btw, so I may be biased.
