Well, I am not asking for answers from you, because I’m sure nobody really knows them so far.
I’m not sure of the general insincerity of politicians motivations; this is a worldwide issue, and I believe that people like Mahathir Mohammed of Malaysia, for instance, did sincerely want to boost the performance of his Malay people to match that of Malaysias Chinese minority, through perhaps the world most thorough (and very expensive) “affirmative action” program. He was quite bitter (and genuinely so I believe) that thirty years later it had made almost no difference.
If there was a known, certain method of closing that gap I am sure he would have bought into it.
Good points.. I’m one who believes its both genetic and cultural factors. Russians for example are obviously very intelligent naturally, but their culture of corruption seems to hold them back.
You are right too unlocking the secrets would be very valuable. I’m thinking there is a possibility my great grandchildren could have genes inserted that would put them at a high genius level compared to people today.
