It would be nice to get NAEP type data from every ethnic group because of the large representative samples of test prepared people who take these tests. It would be especially nice to get such data from post-apartheid South Africa and the statistics below come close.
According to a report
The outcomes of black learners are poorer compared to their coloured, Indian, and white counterparts. For example, in 2016 the proportion of black learners who passed maths with 60% or more was 9%, By contrast, the proportion of whites passing with more than 60% was 52% (the
proportions for coloured and Indian pupils were 20% and 40% respectively). In maths literacy, the figures are even starker – only 8% of black learners passed with a mark of above 60%, compared 20% of
coloured learners, 44% of Indians, and 73% of white learners. Figures for other subjects show similar trend
If we assume maths literacy is a proxy IQ test and force the distribution of all groups onton normal curves with an SD of 15, we get:
South African white IQ = x
South African Indian IQ = x – 11
South African Coloured IQ = x – 21
South African Black IQ = x – 30
But what is x?
We know that South Africa is about:
- 80.7% Black African
- 8.8% Coloured
- 7.9% White
- 2.6% Asia
And we know that their average score on international math tests is about 73. Thus solving for x:
0.807(x – 30) + 0.088(x – 21) + 0.079x + 0.026(x – 11) = 73
0.807x – 24.21 + 0.088x – 1.848 + 0.079x + 0.026x – 0.286 = 73
x = 73 + 24.21 + 1.848 + 0.286
x = 99
So if the white Math IQ is 99, then the IQs of the other groups can be deduced.
| Ethnicity | IQ (based on the percentage of each population scoring 60%+ on maths literacy relative to the white rate) |
| whites | 99 |
| Indians | 88 |
| Coloureds | 78 |
| Blacks | 69 |
Of course given the legacy of apartheid and the huge differences in living standards and education quality between these groups, it would be very stupid to take scores on a math test as reflective of actual intelligence, let alone genetic ability. As of 2015 it looks like the percentage of Blacks, Coloureds, Indians and Whites living in poverty is about 40%, 24%, 2% and 0.5% respectively (crude guesses based on eyeballing the below graph):
Pumpkin Person 
OT, but here’s a comprehensive list of IQ myths that could come in handy:
https://www.unz.com/jthompson/35-myths-debunked/
The one thing that stood out to me from this article was that IQ scores and brain architecture have a basic correlation to each other. Ive always insisted that maybe fMRIs are more useful at predicting intelligence than doing many other functions.
Awesome article regardless and I think it should be added to everyones reading list.
https://inductivist.blogspot.com/2019/08/study-you-can-tell-if-someone-is-smart.html
That shit is garbage bro
I agree.
Haha the IQ-ists are still kicking with the bullshit?
Academic leftism is a lot like IQism, but I won’t explain why
“I’ll make a claim but I won’t state my reasoning.”
RR why do you even come here if you don’t believe in IQ or race or gender. Youre not going to convince anyone to join you here even if you were smart.
Why do you come here? You claim to disagree with me even more than RR does
I believe race is real. Gender is a social construct. IQ…haha
Puppy why don’t you ban RR? His opinions are terrible.
So are a lot of yours
Academic leftism is a way for people who are not very intelligent to use word / concept manipulation to feel intellectually superior, more noble than the rest of the population. As if they were illuminated by the supreme knowledge of the world and that this knowledge was not easily accessible because the use of frankly pathetic language, very common in supposedly philosophical texts.
I am not saying that everything about academic leftism is factually mistaken, not all associates act to that end. I mean the underlying purpose, which is not just thinking about solving problems (while creating new ones).
IQism is a much simpler cult in which people who score high on IQ tests but have no really interesting intellectual / artistic achievements, especially, rely on their scores for “superiority signaling”. In the case of academic leftism, “superiority signaling” is disguised as “virtue signaling”, even though the reading that the conservative right does is always generalizing or exaggerated as if every leftist or progressive was an extreme narcissistic hypocrite (in fact, all of us are a little or a lot like that).
Still on how correct the interpretations of academic leftism are, just think if you were living within a parasitic social system, what would you do or defend ??
Leftism is wrong in many ways, but its perception that complex societies are systems of social parasitism is impeccably correct.
RR is so dishonest … he believes that physical differences between them exist but as for the average differences between psychology and cognition …
So you asked me a question and then moderated the answer so why bother asking??
So that I can read the answer
“gender is a social construct. this is why women with moustaches are sexy.” — rr
IQ is simply the number of things you can keep track of at a certain speed. No more no less. Santo is right that artistic ability may be excluded but it is really not the point. The point is manipulation problem-solving. Puzzle-solving. Doing it in the head.
I can manipulate many variables in my head at once but I do so at a slow rate. I have high fluid intelligence which is the ability to hold many things at once and put them together. I have a slow processing speed though. But still, I hold many things and put them together wich others can’t. Others put a few things together at extraordinary speeds. They have a fast narrow focus. I have a slow broad focus.
rr is wrong about IQ, IQ is useful for classifying intelligence. It is the interpretation that is wrong not IQ itself.
Kitcat is Iqist. IQ measures and compares technically relevant aspects of human intelligence. But it does not ANALYZE intelligence. IQ was invented to approach a large number of people at the same time. Not to analyze each individual which is only possible by an individualized psychological and cognitive approach. The ideal would be to analyze the level of proclivity of each individual in relation to his/her/hxxy most constant interests. Nor does IQ analyze the individual’s basic and fundamental ability to distinguish facts from their prejudices.
Result: the academy is full of people from the left and right who cannot distinguish them. Emotional intelligence is very important/too. Would you like to live with a selfish and insensitive person ??
i remember seeing a science show a long time ago. maybe it was NOVA. it was on how gender was NOT a social construct. it used to be assumed to be a social construct but this was tested in boys who’d had a circumcision accident or micropenis or something and had been mutilated soon after birth and raised as girls, and…
all of them grew up to be boys in the mental sense. they had very male occupations and hobbies and were attracted to women etc.
more interesting is so-called XY females. afaik they aren’t more likely to be lesbos. but these are people who have been sans testosterone from conception iirc. so the itsy bitsy Y chromosome may make much less of a difference than testosterone.
question: is your ring finger longer than your index finger rr?
Intelligent people are more susceptible to racial and cultural biases because they look at everything with inherent bias. Theres a strong need amongst the higher IQ folk to look at history in terms of geography culture etc.
Lower IQ folk will not necessarily perceive things monolithically and not apply that deeper knowledge they may have of different backgrounds.
Just something Ive noticed.
Meant to say they WILL perceive things monolithically, the less intelligent.
I fuckin hate society.
This song has defined my soul.
LOADED,
quit the black stuff.
it makes you ridiculous.
Mass enslavement prevents social stratification that prevents the emergence of selectively isolated classes with comparatively greater cognitive abilities.
what happens there is as if you took a population that has not centuries of adaptive selection for anthropomorphic environments just as it has been happening at different levels with white Europeans, Indians, Chineses … just as if you take an exotic species and place it in a very different environment from which it has adapted.
maladaption,buddy
This doesn’t sound like Santo. Youre an idiot puppy.
Yes it does. You’re an idiot.
Its Santo 3.0 or 4.0 with improved English. He’s like a computer program where you can develop better and better versions of it into the future and now we’ve arrived at the latest version of Santo.
I translated Santos blog into English once. He actually has a high verbal IQ so I don’t understand why his english is so poor.
How much do you know about Portuguese ?? My verbal IQ is reasonable, perhaps, above average. I’m great at “ortography”, but not much at grammatical rules. The smarter specifically in verbal IQ, the better your knowledge of grammatical rules. In addition, verbal intelligence is divided into more than one type. Polyglottism is one of them. Which blog are you talking about ??
Another factor is motivation. Mine to learn or improve my English is 0. And I have no control.
Santos reading comprehension is not too shabby but his writing skills are overcomplicated by an emphasis on complex concepts and vocabulary rather than simplicity. Hes very technical though he gets to the point fairly quickly and is very blunt.
VIQ and the ability to learn to speak foreign languages passably are totally UN-related afaik.
Math ability has nothing to do with using numbers. Should rename this blog planet of the autists.
this is not controversial.
the ability to speak many languages poorly is common.
HAHAHAHA! PUMPKIN! REALLY!?
But no seriously learning a new language is related to memory and attention not verbal intelligence. They may overlap since at a young age the acquisition of language is inherent in verbal IQ but its certainly not true as you learn new languages as an adult.
People REALLY need to stop conflating verbal IQ with language skills. Jesus fucking christ. It’s mostly called verbal IQ because of the measuring tool being verbal, not because that’s precisely what it’s testing, your verbal skills; and even if, it’s merely concomitantly – the point of verbal IQ is deductive reasoning and mapping concepts.
I do not agree that verbal intelligence and polyglotism have nothing to do. Only they are not extremely associated, in the sense that the majority of those with high verbal intelligence are not polyglots but the vast majority of super polyglots have high verbal intelligence.
I have two blogs. The first is inactive. Santoculto.wordPress. I wrote about 6, 7 years ago. In fact, I was very exaggerated. Today, I try to be as succinct as possible. My new blog is from blogger. Same name. Simplicity and supposedly complex concepts are not entirely unintelligible. In addition, whenever you say something about someone you need to exemplify. Otherwise, it will be nothing more than an opinion. Funny that you say that because your approach to the concept of bias seemed to me to deviate from the standard concept which is used.
Indians are like 2 percent of South Africa but control 20% of the economy. They’re also in a much better financial condition than the Indians from the subcontinent. This leads me to believe that the 88 number is far too low and that it should be 93-95
Parsees?
Not just them but the Gujaratis who were imported there as indentured servants in the early 1900s and mid 1800s.
race can be defined as any interbreeding group which has been interbreeding for a long time or as any group which can be identified by genetic analysis.
so there are big races and small races.
big races are defined by big geographic barriers to gene flow.
so the indus valley dravidians and europeans prior to the aryan invasion were more closely related to one another than either was to congolese or andamans or etc..
so not too long ago what is today india was populated by andaman types. then the indus valley dravidians, the elamites from iran, and the aryans displaced them.
but there’s still a trace of them in some southern indians.
nazism is NOT german nationalism and historical linguistics was a sine qua non for the nazi ideology.
the man who discovered that sanskrit was closely related to greek and latin was a welshman living in the raj.
Wanting replay review or automated officiating in sports is pure autism.
In pretty much every sport, there are so many unwritten, situation-specific rules that aren’t accounted for in the rulebook and couldn’t possibly be programmed.
It also pisses on tradition and ignores the fact that imperfections make the game better. Plus replay reviews are fucking boring.
Obsessing over one principle (getting the call right) and elevating it at the expense of everything else is characteristic of autistic thought.
WRONG!
instant replay in baseball is only a problem when it isn’t instant.
if it is genuinely instant then it’s great.
Just the opposite. a simpler brain is less able to sublimate its instincts to understand something more objectively and precisely. Bias is what every living being presents as a primordial guide, if not the only one for their actions, unreflective. However, there are also docilized instincts … extreme altruists are already born with docilized instincts.
Its not a matter of instincts here but more to do with learned biases or ones that are inherent that have to do with how perceptions of the world are built. This is done in accordance to implementing a bias into effect and seeing if it prevails or not This is the scientific method in a nutshell.
Intelligent people have more biases than the unintelligent since they have a greater capacity of knowledge. Therefore they will have more things to choose from to test out and see if these biases are real. And another advantage intelligent people have is that their biases can be easily tested since theyre more abstract. To go along with this they can employ better scenarios to confirm or deny their biases.
This is why intelligent people are fundamentally successful and have more access to valuable biases.
I don’t know if I understood your thinking completely. I think that the most intelligent people, theoretically or logically, should have a lower proportion of subjective opinions/biases (desires, beliefs and expectations) mistakenly taken as facts, than less intelligent people. Less theoretically less intelligent, the greater the proportion of prejudices that uncritically takes as absolute truths.
They may have less subjective opinions/biases but those biases would be stronger in intelligent people. Also as mentioned in your previous comments not all biases need be subjective. Some can be very objective and can be used to pattern the world and structure it however the person using it wishes.
This is the dangerous part since objective biases can be made into subjective perceptions of the world and can lead to frames of mind where the person doesnt have an authentic worldview but only rationalizes it to conform to their own. This is where confirmation bias comes into play and where rational folks act irrationally.
I understand bias as a projection of what you are feeling or intuiting on an object rather than ust a trivial action of contemplating it for yourself, of course, based on what you can perceive, the maximum objectivity you can achieve. If IQ were perfectly reflective of the totality of individual cognitive qualities, the vast majority of those with higher scores would be considerably less prone to such distortions. If humans were unemotional machines, maybe.
Now, if you are referring, for example, to the groups that people with higher IQ tend to discriminate … funny that in this sense there is a high level of precision according to the human historical situation.
Ah yes. The ability to rationalize or argue is better because they are better at abstract thinking. They are able to separate, analyze concepts and canalize them through perspectives that may even be true but are incomplete if all possible facts or perspectives on a certain subject are not being considered.
So, they can generate many thoughts, sophistical and also true ones, and reinforce the basis of your beliefs than just be based on facts. this also happens because not necessarily the most intelligent (based on IQ criteria), tend to confuse their ideals or expectations with objective / universal facts or truths. Those with the ideal of equality but without any previous self-critical or reflective work believe that they need to denaturalize intrinsic differences to validate equality. On other hand ultracons denaturalize our essential equality as a finite lives.
Cognitive control
everything that protects, without balance, can imprison
Intelligent people also can think laterally more often than not and thats where biases get destroyed I think. Lateral thinking is like empathy in that it allows one to recognize that the answers are not binary.
Thats where intelligent people have a moral advantage but other than that I think less intelligent people would be more inherently moral since they trend towards having black and white ideas of the world.
Once you hit a grey area its hard to recover what the initial objectives for something were.
and props to koufax. still alive at 84.
sandy koufax was and is an all time great…by purely objective criteria.
this is why for american jews he’s like moshiach.
because he’s maybe the only truly great jewish athlete.
max baer was at most 25% jew.
RIP Bob Gibson though? He just died in his 80s and was a legendary black pitcher that may have outperformed Sandy Koufax if he was in the league in his prime rather than playing in the “Negro Leagues.”
gibson never played in th negro leagues you moron.
My bad I conflated Josh Gibson, the Negro League player who dominated with 800+ home runs, with Bob Gibson for a second….at least on the detail of the Negro Leagues.
Lil Uzi Vert is the new Mozart. Some of these guys are actual musical geniuses. Something I almost consider myself to be tbh.

Pumpkin, if your coding score started at a 77 on the first try with significant anxiety, 86 with little anxiety, and 93 with low anxiety, and the same pattern was repeated on another day, would the average of the scores work because of anxiety and stuff.
Now THIS is interesting, PP. Not your weekly Oprah worship threads.
I think the nobel prize in lit went into the toilet a bit when they nominated Bob Dylan. That has to be a black mark against it.
yeah that night i left a message for my southern italian american professor of p-schem who was married to a jewish woman and was a yuge bob dylan fan and i sang….
the answer my friend is stealing in the form of tuition…
I don’t think Borges ever won the nobel prize even though hes 10m times a better writer than Bob Dylan.
The nobel winner for chemistry this year sounds like it should have actually been a nobel in biology/physiology. But I’m not an expert. Maybe they would call it bio-chemistry.
indeed…i know from…and frum 613…
“biochemisrty” and “molecular biology” are atually not the same thing, AND the latter is NOT merely innumerate biologists’ attempt at the former.
from a practical POV:
1. molecular biology identifies the target.
2. biochemistry and organic chemistry and combichem find the drug.
3. but in the case of cancer the drug is more and more NOT a small molecule, and therefore molecular biology is more useful.
Trump deserves the Nobel Peace Prize more than Obama. He normalised relations between Israel and the Gulf and attempted peace talks with North Korea. What the fuck did Obama do?? Hmmm. Actually Obama stopped a US invasion of Syria after they allegedly used chemical weapons (which the Mossad/CiA probably did).
More autism. Obama saved us from war with Iran & droned far fewer people than trump. He achieved his “peace” deal by pissing all over the Palestinians.
so obama deserves the prize for golden showering the palestinians?
He deserves it more than trump but that’s a very low bar
Who cares about the Palestineans? They’re powerless anyways
Who cares about whites?? Let them mix and disappear.
There was a book review in the Economist about a book about the lives and careers of 4 CIA spies. It was an interesting read because it showed how the spies realised they were doing Masters dirty work. They selected the spies based on obedience and fervour for US propoganda and then alienated them by making them help nazis and right wing death squads in latin America.
Of course, this doesn’t even cover Allen Dulles hit on JFK and who the CIA really exist to serve….
(Hint: NOT THE PRESIDENT).
videla and his regime were nazis.
no one else would throw people out of airplanes.
If I was president I would disband the NSA and CIA and tell them to destroy that supercomputer monitoring everyones phone calls. Nobody should have that power. Even if by some crazy chance someone honourable was using it.
And if I did that, they would definitely assassinate me and blame it on some poor weirdo like Oswald.
The portrayal of Oswald and the biography it provided in Devils’ Chessboard is a very sad tale.
“IM JUST A PATSY” Indeed.
indeed “i’m just a patsy who killed tippit and shot at general walker.”
Trump has reaffirmed my faith in democracy. I thought we had a ….certain ethnic minority driven…”democracy”. But the stupid shit Trump does shows the presidency has a alot of latency to do what he/she wants. Therefore the people actually voting does matter a lot.
Pill’s autism strikes again. Trump’s the most pro-Israel president ever
and pill’s not being pill.
by “latency” he meant “latitude” because native language is shitholese.
Poor Pill. He’s in love with Trump. But the opposite is not true …
Nancy Pelosi made $200m as a sitting member of congress over 30 years….and nobody asks how she made it?
The Young turks are actually correct when they say the democrats are paid to lose. They are literally paid hundreds of millions to be republican lite + id pol. And republican always beats republican lite + id pol.
I bet Nancy Pelosi has even expressly agreed to be a loser and puppet competition. The true purpose of Pelosi and the corp dems is to keep real leftists out of government. The marxist analysis is actually correct when it comes to the dems. You don’t need to add the jew dimension at all.
DING! DING! DING!
That’s true. We call Democrats the “liberal left”. Liberal in a more economic than a social sense. But the Marxist left is also so wrong … Anyway, everything can be traced by the practical philosophical ineptitude of 90% of whites.
If the dems were a real party they would have done everything to stop the republicans filling the supreme court seat.
I think many years from now, its going to be revealed that most senior democrat leading politicians are on the take and paid to be fake opponents.
many?
Robert Lindsay was right in his thinking, that most Democratic politicians are fake socialists, for example, Hillary Clinton.
The Court rejected the notion that the law marked black Americans with “a badge of inferiority”, and stated that racial prejudice could not be overcome by legislation.
Correct. Plessy v Ferguson.
You can’t force people give an equal amount of Oscars to black actors just because. Its AUTISM. IT DEFEATS THE WHOLE FUCKING POINT OF EVEN CREATING ‘THE OSCARS’. Phew. Glad I got that off my chest.
yeah. the one thing no judge can do today is defend Plessy v Ferguson. ..
even though it is defensible.
the majority was right, but the dissent is one of the best opinions ever written. It’s a great example of how white pride need not be racist or discriminatory.
But I’m sure RR will go fetch his talmud and tell me why I’m wrong.
The white race deems itself to be the dominant race in this country. And so it is, in prestige, in achievements, in education, in wealth, and in power. So, I doubt not, it will continue to be for all time, if it remains true to its great heritage, and holds fast to the principles of constitutional liberty. But in view of the constitution, in the eye of the law, there is in this country no superior, dominant, ruling class of citizens. There is no caste here. Our constitution is color-blind, and neither knows nor tolerates classes among citizens. In respect of civil rights, all citizens are equal before the law. The humblest is the peer of the most powerful. The law regards man as man, and takes no account of his surroundings or of his color when his civil rights as guarantied by the spreme law of the land are involved. It is therefore to be regretted that this high tribunal, the final expositor of the fundamental law of the land, has reached the conclusion that it is competent for a state to regulate the enjoyment by citizens of their civil rights solely upon the basis of race.
one of the best opinions ever written is straight up autism.
autism slater needs to grok felonious o’ctahedron monk.
o’ctahedran is an irish name.
rosenberg theory of history principle 1:
the dramatis personae of history are not “great men”. the “great man theory of history” is wrong.
the dramatis personae of history are not economic classes. the marxist theory of history is wrong.
the dramatis personae of history are peoples.
HISTORY, CULTURE, ETC. ARE EPIPHENOMENA OF THE BLOOD.
AND…
the dramatis personae of history are DEFINITELY NOT ideas.
LOL. Mugabe needs to grok with Reading Comprehension: Success in 20 Minutes a Day.
It’s great because it’s sincere and well-written. But the majority was obviously right.
I’ve been meaning to listen to some Monk though.
They should give awards to blacks for being black. They should or could call it anything they want. Where Earl Warren went wrong is when he said the Oscars had to be given to blacks. It doesn’t make any sense.
BY PHIL MASTER LEGAL THEORIST
Likewise Harvard should just say straight out – “allowing more chinese people into Harvard devalues the credential for everyone. Even the chinese.”
Its blunt. But everyone knows what the deal is. The Chinese are socially retarded like Bill Gates. They know what they sign up for when they send their kid to Harvard and not, say, Tsinghua Uni or whatever.
Likewise Harvard should just say straight out – “allowing more chinese people into Harvard devalues the credential for everyone. Even the chinese.”
Not as much as making that statement would. Pill’s autism is hilarious.
Pumpkin, is the arithmetic subtest really a measure of fluid mathematical reasoning? There is evidence to suggest it, but it still feels more like a working memory test.
Phil is into conspiracy because he is into deceit and studying “the dark arts”. That may be entertaining and useful in politics but understanding people in such a way is not what the average person does. They are much more trusting of people than this. Phil sees this as nieve but it is just how normal life is. Trust is not based on elaborate complex conspiracies but just on the character of individuals. People do not need to connect the dots they just need to understand persons around them. Manipulation is not on a grand scale but is local.
Most conspiracies are bullshit anyway. I know because I watch conspiracy videos all the time. I like the transhuman and Christian conspiracy videos. It is a shame Alex Jones got canceled. He was funny. QAnon just got canceled. He was a psyop. New Age is part of the conspiracy culture also. Phil is very limited in his conspiracy take. He never talks about the Illuminati for example. No just politics with Phil.
There is a whole lot more but I think you get the picture.
Q is probably just a larper who accidentally launched a retarded movement. I doubt it’s a psyop.
Off topic, but with the amount of celebrity IQ estimations you do, have you ever considered doing a piece on Xi Jinping’s IQ? His poise and quietness make him seem remarkably intelligent and calculating. I don’t support what his government does of course, but Chinese leaders certainly seem to outclass America’s in cunning.
SIGH.
I wish the Trump we voted in was the 155 IQ, 3D chess playing Trump. Not the imbecile, shabbos goy.
That is the problem with IQism. People cease to be guided by what others and themselves do, replacing for IQ and still in this case associated with supposedly anti-politically correct sincerity. It’s very simple. If Trump is so powerful and brave (sic) he should have already said something minimal about Jews, trying not to generalize them.
Divide to conquer.
What conservatism has always done, say.
“The demographic impact of steppe related populations on South Asia was substantial, as the Mala, a south Indian Dalit population with minimal Ancestral North Indian (ANI) along the ‘Indian Cline’ of such ancestry is inferred to have ~ 18% steppe-related ancestry, while the Kalash of Pakistan are inferred to have ~ 50% steppe-related ancestry.”[70] Lazaridis et al.’s 2016 study estimated (6.5–50.2%) steppe related admixture in South Asians…
Two genetic studies (Shinde et al. 2019 and Narasimhan et al. 2019,) analysing remains from the Indus Valley civilisation (of parts of Bronze Age Northwest India and East Pakistan), found them to have a mixture of ancestry: Shinde et al. found their samples to have about 50-98% of their genome from peoples related to early Iranian farmers, and from 2-50% of their genome from native South Asian hunter-gatherers sharing a common ancestry with the Andamanese, with the Iranian-related ancestry being on average predominant. The samples analyzed by Narasimhan et al. had 45–82% Iranian farmer-related ancestry and 11–50% AASI (or Andamanese-related hunter-gatherer ancestry). The analysed samples of both studies have little to none of the “Steppe ancestry” component associated with later Indo-European migrations into India.

Are throwing away trash, construction, metallurgy and the ability to carve pumpkins considered sports?
Mug pls reply.
Professional pumpkin carving is a good idea. Maybe you should pitch it to ESPN 2.
You could have a speed round to see who could carve a standardized design the most times in like 5 minutes. And you could also have a sculpture round to see who can carve the best design.
That sounds exactly like what I was imagining.
ESPN 2 would totally eat that up! You and I are born entrepreneurs!

Imma be a thug in da next lyfe lol
it’s funny how the klan, hindutva, et al are conflated with nazism.
the former can be described as supremacism, but the latter cannot.
that is, “palingenetic ultranationalism” in the case of the nazis was NOT a deification of the volk as it was but as it was in the distant past and might be again.
nazi racism was just a population level eugenics where the secretariat was the OG aryans.
The Name of the Rose is actually my favorite movie.
LOADED is right.
i recall professor shoe saying feynmann’s VIQ couldn’t’ve been that high because his notebooks had misspellings and punctuation mistakes, and then i knew professor shoe had full blown autism.
like the so-called IQ tests where the VIQ questions are “unscramble these letters.”
i mean even though kalteburnner was 6’5″ and had a schmiss…
if you axed him…
he’d say he was merely a “bridge to the superman”. he wouldn’t say he was a superman himself.
Man is a rope stretched between the animal and the Superman–a rope over an abyss.
that is, the nazis did not regard themselves as secretariat.
they regarded themselves as the birthpangs of secratariat.
that jew who said my dad was the smarrtest person he’d ever met…
also said “it’s my people the ashkenazim, not the arab or spanish jews, who are the world’s smartest people.”
so the high IQ jews thing is because 50% european.
sad!
They’re not 50% European; they’re descended from 50% european & 50% middle eastern. Those are just the parent populations they split off of in a new form
Using a SD of 15 for all races, the bottom 0.5%, 2%, 24% et 40% for whites, colored, Indians, blacks is respectively equivalent to an IQ of 62, 57, 67, 65.
Could low IQ be an explanation for poverty in South Africa?
so wiki says hutton was opposed to SSPX too. that’s how conservative he was.
Gibson was an outspoken critic both of the post-Vatican II Roman Catholic Church and of those Traditionalist Catholics who reject sedevacantism, such as the Society of Saint Pius X.
I seriously can’t believe that people still deny IQ and everything about it. Human history proves them wrong at every opportunity. Some people have been more successful than others. Like seriously how can people act blind to the differences between say Canada and a third world Subsaharan hellhole?
Stop disrespecting third world countries like this. If they were raised in middle class households they would be rich too.
LOL you have a sense of humor. Not a good one mind you but at least you have one. Because I refuse to think you’re doing anything but trolling with that highly ignorant comment of yours. Obviously untrue. Very much so
Pill has autism so his sense of humour is very deliberate & contrived; kind of like a computer programmed to be sarcastic
IQists are absolutely ignorant in history, geography, geopolitics … rip brain.
How old are you?
To make a comment like that …
African countries are almost all artificially created by the noble and kind white man who just did not have the concern to place enemy tribes in the same territory. Another problem in your simplistic comment is that every country is managed centrally by its elites. If a country has a horrendous elite, don’t expect it to develop socially.
“IQ”, or better saying, intelligence and personality, are important factors but they cannot be seen as the only ones. It is the equivalent of reducing all American history to IQ. It’s too stupid.
tell yourself whatever Santo. It’s easier to blame da wypepo than take responsibility for the inadequacies of your own people isn’t it?
What happened to black powa and pride? Them being “enemy” tribes shouldn’t matter because they are all brothas and sistas anyways.
So I don’t care if the whites disappear, do you agree ??
I will not blame the Jews …
Did you read my comment ?? because it doesn’t seem.
I do not deny that there is responsibility .. on all sides.
The naughty white guy never had.
Nobody is blaming white people. All folks are saying is that the reason for the current state of developing countries is due to extremely complicated history, not IQ.
No one denies that some people are more successful then others—what is denied is the causal efficacy of “IQ” and that “IQ” is a cause.
“No one denies that some people are more successful then others”
That’s not true. The WE WUZ KANGS meme comes from people mocking others who try to do exactly what you claim doesn’t happen.
And it’s not a coincidence that Western Europe, China, Japan, Korea, America, Canada, Australia, NZ all have IQs from the high 90s to 104. Ind/Bd/Pak=83 SSAfrica=in the 70s and even lower
People being smarter than others is the cause and IQ only measures intelligence. IQ itself doesn’t cause it but differences in IQ highlights the differences in Intelligence which show why certain people countries are better off than others.
I think it goes the other way around akatsuki, poverty causes low IQ since IQ is largely environmental. The poorer countries of today weren’t always poor, the rich countries of today weren’t always rich.
Just look at the achievement of different people groups throughout history. It’s not equal. Look at how bad Africa is and how bad it has always been.
Except no. African societies, languages, and culture is and was very complex. And Europe for the longest time has been the shit of the shit. Europe becoming a decent place is very 20th century, and developing countries now becoming complete shit is directly due to colonization. It’s mind bogglingly stupid to reduce it down to IQ.
Yeah the only way you can come
to the conclusions that many HBDers have on the discrepancies between ethnic groups is pure ignorance on the actual historical facts
The accumulation of horrible things that whites, collectively, have been doing is reaching a serious level of saturation. If you are not able to recognize what is right, negotiable and wrong, or if you are a “moral to me, not for you” type, then you have underdeveloped moral judgment capacity and this has several causes of an intellectual nature.
Interestingly, positive achievements are almost always more individual than collective and the opposite for negative achievements, of course, the actions that influence societies and communities at a generalized level. IQ is an important factor that helps to explain why Haiti is miserable and why Iceland has become a first world country. But history shows us that Haiti has been “governed” by the worst kind of Man not to mention that France organized an economic boycott against the country for many years, making it difficult to emancipate. And that for most of its history Iceland was a country of fishermen.
Brazil as well as almost all Latin American countries have predominantly white elites and certainly with average IQ higher than the average of their respective populations. Should I attribute this IQ difference to the fact that these elites are practically parasitical?
Another common problem in hbd interpretation is the regression to the mean of a random individual to its race. The regression to the mean could only happen at the family level, never at the group level. This is a statistical allegory. A statistical coincidence with previous intrinsic causes but, literally speaking, could not be absolutely linked if it is not correct to say that random black individual X has biologically regressed to the average IQ of his race (starting from the misconception that all black populations are exceptionally similar ) if it can only regress at the family level.
Explanation hbd for Brazil: “the Brazilian people have a low IQ average. This explains why they are underdeveloped”.
Reality: this also seems to be true but, for example, let’s look at tax distribution in this country. It is known that Brazilians pay as many taxes as Nordic countries. However, unlike these countries, in Brazil, a large part of this load is imposed in relation to consumption. Therefore, the poorest and the middle class pay the most taxes. The rich are, in percentage terms, those who pay the least taxes in Brazil. One of the reasons why Brazil has not developed at least a little is there. I don’t need what color is the skin of the architects of this endless cruelty, do I?
^^^ RRs favourite student.
Mugabe has not yet realized that every chance he has to prove he is a genius, he fails miserably. RR will never have a teacher profile if he is an eternal university student. Mugabe’s autism prevents him from thinking that there might be something wrong with Nazi reasoning (for example, lack of reasoning) and that not everything on the left is absolutely wrong. But it is inevitable that the underdeveloped white man is wrong, it is the law of life. When Mugabe is triggered it is because his opponent is right. 😉
“Indemnization” for stop slavery and killing slave owners. Not boycott.

yeah. the problem with the chinese explanation is europe was successfully invaded by muslims from north africa and turkey and islam was more advanced in some ways…yet christianity had been the norm in europe for 100s of years…but maybe not taken hold.
1439 gutenberg used movable type.
1492 columbus sailed the ocean blue.
1517 luther nailed his 95 theses.
The Chinese had printing press & compass first Mug of Tard
The Chinese printing press was carved in wood. They could not rearrange the type dramatically decreasing its effectiveness.
Actually, the Chinese had movable type by 1060, invented by Bi Sheng although there is evidence that he reinvented it (many Chinese inventions were lost then re-invented several times, like the differential gear, because the Chinese were poor promoters). The type pieces, made of ceramic, were even arranged in a rotary fashion for convenience.
What decreased its effectiveness was the sheer number of characters, several thousand at least. But the Chinese held onto their ideographic script because it was not based on spoken language, allowing the dozens of peoples that constituted China to communicate via the written word despite speaking mutually unintelligible languages.
well according to the chinese institute of something or other, the secret of europe’s success, recent or inveterate is christianity and specifically protestantism.

Neolamarckism adheres to the behaviorist fallacy (man without its nature) and evolutionary psychology to the animalistic fallacy (man without its humanity).

santo is right that miso-soup-gyny is homophobia.
that is, men can’t take women seriously because then they’d have to admit that men can be sex objects too and that would be gay.
iceland has the most gender equality and the world’s strongest men. maybe because icelandic men are down with their own sexiness.
capitalism sucks. communism sucks.
the roman empire would be more obvious if it had a positive economic policy…not just a “this sucks” policy.
So when Pilate saw that he was gaining nothing, but rather that a riot was beginning, he took water and washed his hands before the crowd, saying “I am innocent of this man’s blood; see to it yourselves.” And all the people answered, “His blood be on us and on our children!” (Greek: Τὸ αἷμα αὐτοῦ ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς καὶ ἐπὶ τὰ τέκνα ἡμῶν)

It is very clear. Using IQ as a simplistic explanation for human problems is a way that sociopaths have found to neutralize the necessary moral analysis. as always. This is typical of conservative, I mean, parasitical ideology.
Raw computer power is objective It does not rely on what the software is that is placed on it. IQ is like this. raw power. This is a quantitative assessment. That is all IQ is.
Do not call me stupid just for stating a fact.
I am not making any prescriptive judgments.
I think you’re describing g, if it even exists. Haven’t read Jensen’s book.
IQ is a mix of raw power and the algos you use to solve problems. Raw power matters more, but there are better ways of solving problems than others. This is especially true on tests like RPM.
IQ is a poorly predominantly abstract quantification. The fact you are saying is not very extrapolable.
IQ is not entirely hardware. IQ evaluates exactly what the school evaluates. But it is absolutely unfit for the most important: critical thinking. IQ assesses cognitive ability without context, this means that it assesses the ability to work but not to think beyond that. It is more about convergent learning of rules and skills than of perception or verification in reality. It is more about memorization than perception. IQ assesses your ability to learn but not to criticize what you learn.
IQ doesn’t measure critical thinking ability directly but the things you mentioned that IQ does measure correlate strongly with it.
Noam Chomsky wouldn’t be nearly as insightful a social critic if he didn’t have an extremely high IQ.
High IQ is strongly related to acritical partisanship from both (stupid) sides. Chomsky is not that fantastic in critical thinking if he is always exceeding typical leftist tilts, for example, having a heavily biased opinion about Venezuela and Cuba.
Do you, by any chance, have any serious study at hand that proves your point? Even if it correlates strongly, there are other factors that are responsible for a good critical reasoning ability and that possibly the majority of those who score above 130 do not present in a way that makes them less biased than the others.
IQ measures general or overall intelligence so it’s never going to correlate perfectly with any specific ability, whether critical thinking or math or vocabulary or spatial reasoning. But on average the best critical thinkers will have much higher IQs than the worst
You are thinking based on primary logic, something that makes superficial sense but is not rigorously proven. Critical reasoning is not significantly associated with memorization // IQ, but with the capacity for analysis, moral judgment, perception of patterns, contradictions, self-knowledge and also empathy. I do not deny that this positive correlation between IQ and critical thinking is likely, but every Iqist speaks as if IQ were the cause for critical thinking, if one increases, the other too. There must be several thresholds as with creativity but even less correlative because exceptional scientific works requires high IQ while philosophical insights not so. Critical thinking is about whether something is true or not for the best judgment as well to stick to the essential and to the ideal based on the best criteria. For example, the reason why slavery is criticized is by its non-essential value (a society can function perfectly and even better without having a regime of slavery).
I won’t say specific tests are culture fair. But culture fair tests do exist. It is not all about learning otherwise everyone would be geniuses.
Yeah even if you set racial issues aside, the U.S. would be a lot better had slavery never been a thing here.
There’d be a much larger middle class and more of a small business culture.
I’m going to have to repeat what I already said. If you have a very good apacity to learn but not to evaluate what you are learning, you are seriously at risk of wasting time or making profound mistakes. Before, during and after learning, there is the perception. This differentiates an astronomer from an astrologer. A gender theorist from an academic who understands the importance of biology.
Creativity and genius have their value but are overrated. Because we are extremely wrong on the basics, civilization always seems to be two steps away from catastrophe. Our bases are rotten. The basics are fundamental.
