Maybe why I always got along famously with Jewish friends and neighbors. My IQ is upthere with theirs. Probably lots of other Freepers too.
The reason I live in my wonderful Republican town is: My daughter’s best friend in high school was Jewish and moved here, then my daughter did and then I did. Very happy with my life.
But does dey be woke? There be no Wakanda because da white man be racist. Yeah, dass it.
All of humanity would benefit from increased learned opportunities and more stimulating environments. This would produce a more egalitarian kind of society that would require far fewer centers of power and control compared to how the world has worked thus far. Those now in control are very protective of their presumed fiefdoms.
This is nothing new. “The Bell Curve” showed the studies of IQs and ethnicities. But of course “THAT’S RACIST.”
And I am perfectly happy being below average IQ. I made a good business taking risks that smarter people avoided. (Until the kung flu lockdowns nearly wiped me out....)
Yet 70% vote democrat, IQ isn’t everything.
Does the article discuss the IQ of those people descended from ancestors whose origins are in the Dark Continent?
Not a surprise.
Yes, we do!
My German father was a member of Mensa.
I’m only in the top 2%. I was a big disappointment.
That’s why I ‘m so smart! I should have known that! 😛
The ugly side of high IQ is a whole lot of people had to be killed to get there. No person in the last 100 years did more to increase the average IQ of the Jewish population than Hitler.
as far as the Ivy schools, they pick and choose who they want there and often its because of someone you know, or who donated....its a circle that most will never be allowed in....
Actually, given centuries worth of Islamic slaving in sub-Saharan Africa there’s no way to know if there could have been a more advanced than there historically was African civilization or not. And as sub-Saharan Africans often used perishable building materials, not unlike European commoners, it’s not surprising we don’t see a lot where the people were carted off and their homes left to be reclaimed by nature.
The Malinese were notorious slavers whose city Timbuktu still holds (in the form of uncounted manuscripts) the rotting largess of the wealth and civilization they derived by pushing the rest of Africa lower down. But before them others carried that banner … though Islam made everything worse (recall that picture of ranking Democrats kneeling whilst wearing colorful scarfs? At the time someone pointed out that those were traditional Senegalese attire, and the Senegalese Muslims were among the most ruthless latter slub-Saharan slavers).
And make no mistake: Islam would have done the same to Europeans had there not been men like Charles Martel to stop them.
And in North Africa the Muslims wiped whole peoples off the map, which is why there’s all those ruins of towns … no one was about to reuse the stone.
Reification. All the soft sciences regurgitating their nonsense every 20 years.
I’ve long thought it a pity that wisdom wasn’t mush more highly prized and that someone didn’t formulate a WQ to complement IQ.
A functional WQ scoring system would savage our so called best and brightest. The indoctrinated in particular would come off as lacking wisdom.
IQ was prized because it played and still plays to the egos of those who were easily educated no matter if they were fools or wise.
Everybody you meet is 10X smarter than you think.
That’s all you need to know about smarts.
now if they could just figure out who their ‘friendly’ Democrats are...
Not true. Jews were excluded from owning land, as were almost all gentiles. But Jews were always welcome to work the land as serfs or peasants, which is what most gentiles did. Jews just didn't want to be serfs or peasants.
Over the course of time, Jews even began to look down on farm and manual labor, a snobbishness that persists to this day. Dennis Prager has spoken about how many Jewish parents would be horrified if their son chose to become a plumber.
It's odd. During the first millennium BC, Jews were mostly agricultural and manual workers. But now most regard it as beneath them.
