Just my 2 cents.
WAKE UP AMERICA
I see the only solution is to outsource our kids to China.
Let them get a Chinese education. (Probably a lot cheaper than an Ivy League degree)
Just my 2 cents.
wow they require a 140 IQ. That is setting the bar pretty high. Good for them I guess.
I have a high IQ but it’s not all it’s cracked up to be. Often it results in people who can’t feel empathy or compassion as everything is logic driven. It’s hard to communicate with others because they can’t follow. So if they need some number crunchers or programmers high IQs are good. But if they need leaders often times it gets in their way. Not saying all leaders have small IQs either.
Indian firms trying to defend their syphoning off of American tech sector jobs.
US demographics have been shifting in favor of lower IQ segments.
Unmarried teenage mothers whom the government subsidizes to have babies (the hallowed “single moms” who are the mascot class of progressives) average one of the lowest IQ levels of the population.
Also, the tens of millions of illegals who have crossed the southern border significantly lower the average IQ of the country. The high school dropout rate for foreign-born hispanics is appallingly high. The argument by progressives that the children and grandchildren of this population will be widely engaged in high value-added economic activity, such as high-tech entrepreneurs or inventors of medical devices, is nonsense as the data show that the American-born generations following the immigrant generation still have ridiculously high dropout rates, not to mention 50% illegitimacy rates.
As the average IQ of the American population falls relative to other competing world economic zones, and as our economy and politics becomes more socialistic and sclerotic, the standard of living of the US will begin falling farther and farther behind.
The natural result of “No Child Left Behind.” When no child is left behind, the educational system has been dumbed down until no child is educated.
We USED to do that. Now, we've lowered our standards to fit just about anyone who can fog a dental mirror. I guess China is willing to put up with those zany quirks that high IQs bring to the table. I would argue that I'd rather see an average IQ with study skills and a willingness to put forth the effort to master any given subject -- that would leave us with the task of finding educators who can manage to give that average IQ enough material (minus the liberal "world view") to see what they can do with it and insist that they meet a high bar to achieve the mastery.
Right. "You're" part of the problem.
ROFLMAO!!
“Yet, my darling, it’s incroyable,
That someone so unemployable
Should think I’m,
Unemployable too”
Excellent.
A very bright friend who worked at Nasa, etc told me America isn’t producing the bright people anymore, they are coming from places like India.
Doesn’t have to be, but Anmerica is immersed in liberal politics which is just a time waster, accomplishes nothing.
Follow and observe a few Chinese drivers then get back to me on this vast IQ difference.
As they should. American universities have strayed so far away from their original purpose that, had I not completed my college education decades ago, I might consider an alternative to college today rather than pay for the junk that passes for college curricula today.
Women's studies? Black studies? the History of Pornography? Digital Gaming?
And, we wonder why Johnny can't read and is still as dumb as a bucket of hair after getting his Bachelor's degree!!
One thing we should note is that American companies (in America) are forbidden by law to administer IQ tests to applicants. Some try to get around this via other means, but no US company can directly ascertain a prospective employee’s Stanford-Binet (or other) score.
This article might not mean very much when the details are looked at. That firm gets 1,000s of applications per week in China, and they hire <1% of those who apply. The are getting their average 140 IQ for a huge pool of applicants in China. Probably a much, much smaller number apply in the US, and I bet they aren't gettting 1,000s of US applicants for each hire.
This tells us little or nothing, beyond that China has 1.3 billion people, and many of them are unemployed and underemployed.
And, we hear so much about the China miracle, but when we get more information, we realize the benefits are still only accruing to about 10% - 15% of their population. I don't think Chinese education is vastly superior to the US if you take the entire nation into account.
