“It’s interesting that the AVERAGE IQ of Indians is quite low (82). The Brahmin’s is like 105.”
I think that indicates opportunity and availability of instruction rather than innate ability.
But if those stats were reversed . . .
Culture shackles
“I think that indicates opportunity and availability of instruction rather than innate ability.”
I think you got that ass backwards. If opportunity determines whether you’re successful or not, then blacks should be at the top of the ladder given all the special treatment and endless affirmative action thrown their way the past 50 years or so.
Yet the only blacks that are doing quite well and at the top of the ladder are mostly the ones in sports and entertainment.
The reason for that, is because they have innate (genetic?) abilities to perform well in those fields.
Opportunity is like a tool - if you don’t know how to use it and can’t or want to learn how to use it. it isn’t going to help you much.
If you have ability and desire, you’ll create your own opportunities... and you’ll do well.
