By 2010, the average IQ of Saudi Arabia on the Raven Standard Progressive Matrices was 84 (UK norms) however as of 2004, the stunting rate in the Arab world was 9.3%. Using a technique I described in my last post, this suggests Arab IQ is stunted by 4 points and that their genetic IQ is 88.
This seems quite low for the people who first invented agriculture and then invented civilization and then produced the most influential man of all time, the prophet Mohammed. However we must believe that generations of cousin marriage harmed their gene pool because of inbreeding depression which attacks all Darwinian fitness traits, from brain size to height. Mixing with sub-Saharan slaves likely also had an effect.
One sign that Arab IQ has declined is the degree to which they are dominated by Jews, despite their much greater population and natural resources. The 9/11 attacks only played into Zionist hands, by dragging the U.S. into Middle east wars.
My favorite thing about the Arab World is shawarmas (yum!), I just wish you could get one with cheese and mayonnaise added to it 🙂
so the world IQ is not actually a 100 when normed to the British and then tested on the entirety of the world population. Ive heard it was closer to 88 in this day and age and dysgenic fertility is causing it to slide further.
here is a good article on it with animation: https://www.fourmilab.ch/documents/IQ/1950-2050/
not only is the sub-90 average IQ of the globe mind-numbingly difficult to wrap your head around of but so is the fact dysgenics will only cause this to go further and further down as shown in the animation in the link i posted.
dysgenics will see the fall of civilizations in concurrence with all the other naturally-caused threats to civilization that exist. this will create a synergistic effect and thus pave the way for the fall of civilizations and the return of the rudimentary lifestyle for the world population that is left after all the damage has been done!
😦
Are racial height potentials taken into account? Because they may just be genetically shorter. Japan for instance has a significant rate of “stunting” according to those statistics: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.STNT.ME.ZS?end=2020&locations=SA-JP-DE-NL&start=2000&view=chart&year=2020
Weight for height might be better: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SH.STA.WAST.ZS?end=2004&locations=SA&start=1994&view=map&year=2004
The measurement is taken at age 5 when they apparently believe almost every race has the same genetic height.
Seems obviously wrong based on this map, Dutch super tall at 5 etc: https://www.ncdrisc.org/height-mean-map.html
The Dutch are only about an inch taller than non-hispanic Americans at age 5, & even that difference might be explained by nutrition (see table 1)

Japanese don’t seem undernourished: https://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SN.ITK.DEFC.ZS?end=2019&locations=SA-JP-NL&start=2001&view=chart
That’s like half a SD, pretty big difference to explain with undernourished US whites, especially since those Dutch numbers presumably include shorter and poorer ethnics in the Netherlands.
WHO Multicenter Growth Reference Study (MGRS)
The MGRS was conducted from 1997 to 2003 in six sites (Pelotas, Brazil; Accra, Ghana; Delhi, India; Oslo, Norway; Muscat, Oman; and Davis, California) to generate new growth curves to assess growth of infants and young children throughout the world.
A primary study hypothesis was that infants and young children have the potential to grow similarly, regardless of their race/ethnicity and place of birth, if they are breastfed, living in a healthy environment, and have adequate nutrition.
This hypothesis of similar growth was confirmed as the mean length measurements from birth up to 24 months in the 6 country sites were virtually identical.

That’s 2 years old not 5 years old though and who knows what they mean by virtually identical.
Peeps my favorite kind of shawarma is cheese shawarma too.
On another note: can you please do an article about adragon de mello?. Is the IQ he is said to have even possible?
I asked you this earlier too but you didn’t do it. Can you do it atleast now?😔
No one is going to an article on an irrelevant dude like that. But youre probably too much of an autistic Hindu to know that.
not yet. too many more important subjects I need to blog about.
Didn’t the Ay-rabbs invent much of modern science? Algebra (a word with Arabic origins), for instance? Some of it was even religiously motivated. For instance, they made great strides in geography, or whatever are the words for the specific subfields, impelled by the need to figure out how to pray facing Mecca while thousands of miles away on a globe (I suppose they already knew it was a globe).
Necessity is the mother of all inventions firstly. Secondly I think dysgenics due to inbreeding and less selection pressures probably brought it down to the amount it is now.
The West has an average IQ of 100 so its not completely impossible to invent things like algebra calculus etc with an IQ lower than that especially when factoring smart fraction (greater standard deviations of IQ and the resulting allocation of top-scoring people) in there as well.
one of the consequences of the “many genes of small effect” bullshit is that regression to the mean is NOT genetic. that is, high IQs aren’t the result of rare combinations of alleles or rare alleles according to shoe’s theory. regression is only a consequence of the imperfect correlation between genes and individual IQ. the regression is to the genetic true score of the parents.
so 350 very smart parents who look like reinhard heydrich…800 years later…the regression is to the genetic true score of those 350…like 105 or (if you have AIDS) 110.
“one of the consequences of the “many genes of small effect” bullshit is that regression to the mean is NOT genetic.”
“Many genes of small effect” implies that the I.Q. distribution will approximate the normal distribution, according to the Central Limit Theorem, so regression to the mean is indeed mostly genetic and exactly what we would expect.
Are you still pining for that gay black man? Misdreavus has dumped you. Get over him. If he still liked you he’d come back.
Is Misdreavus a (former?) commenter here? I read his name and just thought it was a Pokémon
Yes, he was once a huge HBD star until he dared criticize my statistics and I systematically ripped him to shreds to the point where he’s never been seen since.
i should’ve said:
…regression to the mean is NOT a genetic phenomenon…
peepee doesn’t know maybe…
i only know by hearsay…
smart parents will usually be disappointed by their children…
and they’re paranoid about this…
because it reflects on their own “genetic true score”.
my dad was not disappointed. and he didn’t expect he would be.
he laughed at his friends disappointment.
so many generations of selection since the 350.
sad.
May explain why Oprah didn’t have kids, especially with Steadman
yes. by background and IQ profile…i am an honorary jew…
and i thought amanda peete was super sexy despite her yuge jew mouth.
the IQ is too rude a measure.
what’s the ash VIQ?
is it genetic?
the VIQ is correlated with being:
1. a stupid person who thinks he’s smart.
2. being a finance, media, fashion billionaire…but not an actually useful billionaire.
>This seems quite low for the people who first invented agriculture and then invented civilization and then produced the most influential man of all time
Things can change a lot over time, but agriculture was invented by an Anatolian people. Arabs, especially gulf Arabs have a lot of Natufian DNA which is pre-agricultural. Still, inventing agriculture doesn’t mean that the whole society was more intelligent on average, just that the elites got a new system going. The average could have been less intelligent than pre-agricultural peoples.
Speaking of which, pre-agricultural Natufians seem to show a decline in cranial capacity over time from the early to the late Natufian periods, with the late Natufian being followed by the agricultural neolithic period.
As for civilization, the same principle applies to it with the added bonus of deciding at what point of time did civilization begin? Was the PPNB a civilization? Were copper age societies civilizations? Did it begin with Sumerians? Why not put the beginning of civilization at a much later time period after the Sumerians and even after the Egyptians. This particular question is quite subjective.
