Researchers try to disprove Western claims about ‘low IQs in Africa’ and get BAD news…

The results were not what they wanted and are what’s going viral. As it turns out, those “Western circles” were right all along. According to the data they shared, the average score came in around 73, with a median just under 70. More than half of participants actually scored below 70. These are numbers that are way below the average.

This is a toxic subject, that no one wants to discuss: race and iQ.

But it does remind me of a study that was done in 2019 in India. Indian scientists wanted to find out who had the smallest brains in the world. So they measured brains and they scanned skulls and so forth, and they unfortunately came up with the data that the people of India have the smallest brains of anyone on the Earth:

now, does that mean that they’re stupid? No certainly not. In fact, my idea regarding that study is that there are so many vegetarians in India, and the brain is an energy hog. Your brain is basically made out of fat and cholesterol, believe it or not. The cholesterol is used in neural sheaths as an insulator. So if you starve your body of protein and fat, and cholesterol, then yeah, your brains are gonna be kind of small. If you suddenly increased their nutrition and they had animal proteins and things then I bet their brain masses would shoot up to the normal. There is nothing wrong with their genes is what I’m saying. It’s mostly nutrition. Is that the case in Africa? I don’t know or maybe I do know but I don’t want to say anything. Do you know?

It’s not fair. IQ distribution is not fair and that offend people. Here is Jordan Peterson. A psychologist talking about that very thing he said it’s the scariest thing that he’s ever seen.:

go back in time and swap Eddie Murphy with Neil Armstrong, and let him pilot the Apollo mission to the moon. Just give him the opportunity.

The democRATs know they would be the PERFECT ‘RAT voters. Hence the open borders and opposition to ICE.

I think that’s what we have now. NASA just wants to tick boxes. Good luck with that.

Context missing from the article: “the article is referring to standard IQ test norms, where the global or Western (particularly European-descended populations) average IQ score is defined as 100, with a standard deviation of 15. This is the benchmark used in most standardized IQ tests (like the Wechsler or Stanford-Binet scales), normed primarily on populations in developed countries, often with a heavy emphasis on White/European samples in the US and Europe.
In this context:

An average of 100 is considered “normal” or average intelligence.
Scores around 85–115 encompass roughly the middle 68% of the population (one standard deviation).
Scores below 70 are often classified as indicating intellectual disability or very low cognitive functioning (two standard deviations below the mean), affecting adaptive functioning in daily life.

The article highlights that the Lagos, Nigeria study (a viral YouTube-conducted assessment by an Africa-based team) produced an average score of around 73 (with a median of about 69.7, and over 50% of participants below 70). These results are described as “way below the average” because they fall substantially short of the standard norm of 100.” —Grok supplied

when people debate regarding the subject, someone will always bring up someone like Sidney Portier and compare him to someone living in the hills in Appalachia. But you can’t do that. You can’t compare best to worst, you have to compare average to average, and when you do that, the results are not good.
