“Another method is to give small sums of money to poor families with infants or pregnant mothers. Handing out cash is better than handing out food itself. It is more flexible—it can be spent on medicine as well as food.”
We give sums of money and food to poor single moms. It hasn’t worked out so well.
I’m surprised The Economist didn’t recommend that we offer money to youths who get bad grades and score low on aptitude tests.

"Cleverer"? Really?
That’s pretty hard to believe after watching a few YouTube videos of questions asked at Harvard, other schools, and on the street asking young people “tough questions” like: “How many states are there?”, “How much is 3x3x3”, “Name a state that starts with the letter ‘K’”, “Point to China on a map”, etc.
Easy. kill every arab, and you’ll see a significant increase in global IQ.
— “Cleverer”? Really?
It is the comparative adjective of clever.
IQ is a measure against the average, so if everyone in the world became significantly smarter, the average IQ would still be 100.
Cleverer? That’s a word? I’m not sure the writer’s IQ improved.

I disagree. I think it's because the Western world lowered its standards precipitously in that time period. Hence, even the testing has been dumbed down.

It doesn’t have anything to do with poverty and nourishment.
It has everything to do with being around smart people. Not necessarily people who know a lot of things. Smart people.
(Aside from the flaw in thinking implied in the title: “Average” is not a constant. The average itself gets higher when more people get smarter, obviously. It’s a wonderful continuously self-fulfilling phenomenon. To be of above average intelligence today is a whole different thing from being above average 50 years ago.)
Bring low IQ folks here and our moron-taught children will be grand LEADERS....like Willard’s Master of all those rats.
It has to do with childhood nutrition, it sez here.
Stop this:
A report by the Dubai-based Centre for Arab Genomic Studies (CAGS) in September 2009 found that Arabs have one of the world’s highest rates of genetic disorders, nearly two-thirds of which are linked to consanguinity.
A 2009 study found that many Arab countries display some of the highest rates of consanguineous marriages in the world, and that first cousin marriages which may reach 25–30% of all marriages. In Qatar, Yemen, and UAE, consanguinity rates are increasing in the current generation. Research among Arabs and worldwide has indicated that consanguinity could have an effect on some reproductive health parameters such as postnatal mortality and rates of congenital malformations.
