SkyPilot: "When did I do that?"

No, of course you didn't but, ahem, one of our posters here did, just as I quoted in #51 above.
Even then, it was only in service of a higher point, namely, that groups with lower average IQs still include some who are very bright indeed.

You might call that a paradox.
I'm only saying it's a function of thousands of years of social structures which either reward or punish brain over brawn.
In short: when jocks rule, you get more jocks and when nerds rule, you'll get more nerds.

Nothing mystical or supernatural about it.

They why did you include me by name in your comment like that?

No one is disputing that. That is why I posted a graph of the IQ Bell Curve - which points that out exactly.

People with higher intelligence are "nerds?" What is the scientific definition of a "nerd"? You throw out sweeping statements such as that, but you demand everyone else police themselves. Yours is a very strange post.
