I have had debates on here about various issues. One of the debates was about why Africa is always in disarray.
So I talked to a guy from Nigeria and asked him why?
He looked at me and said.
It's simple of why Africa is in bad shape. He said....
Too many difference of opinions of how things should be. He said for example.
In Nigeria. There are over 500 different tribes. With various languages and cultures.
I told him my doctor was from Nigeria to. He said... What is his name.
I told him.
He goes.
Ah... an EBO man with a smile.
I said what's the smile about.
He said.. No offense to your doctor. But we DON'T TRUST EBO guys.
I said why..
He said they are shady and are money hustlers.
I said wow.
He said there are tons of African tribes that HATE EACH other.
Basically he said it's no different than DIE HARD LIBERALS fighting against DIE HARD CONVERSATIVES.
He said.. just imagine if there were 500+ political parties all with various thought processes. He said how much in fighting would there be.
He said. it has nothing to do with intelligence or anything like that.
He said it's all about ego. Such as "Our tribe" is better then your "tribe".
I thought this was interesting.
This IQ is NOT proving black people are stupid.This is AVERAGE IQ. What means IQ of population being STATISTICALLY lower ? Lower intellectual potential of the society.What means lower potential for society development. Means they are poorer and they would stay poorer... Also lower AVERAGE IQ means they would be more easy victim of manipulation,for being robbed and exploited. That there would be less scientists and entrepreneurs to push they economy,culture and society forward...
Even with proper education their population would achieve worse results if they would be isolated. And education in such African countries is not so good. If it is even existing there.
It’s not IQ. But you can keep telling yourself that.
I repeat man: AVERAGE one. Where tribalism is still existing ? And now verify AVERAGE IQ in those populations...
Societies with bigger potentials - asian and white especially advanced from tribalism.Through violent conquer of course,but achieved that. Less geniuses,less chances to improve. That is why central Africa stayed with tribalism and shit huts.
I am NOT saying black people are idiots.Absolutely not. 20 points difference in IQ is big but not so big between people. It is maybe near the difference between Joe from IT and Jack using forklift in warehouse.(For example,because it isn't such thing that more intelligent people always have better jobs). But if you have to compare society where there are usually people like Joe to society where there are usually people like Jack... You got it ? That's problem.
PS: Of course higher IQ don't make any man better man. Not make people genius.IQ is only intelectual POTENTIAL.
To those not understanding: there are people like Terrence Tao and people like Marilyn vos Savant (Marilyn Mach).Similar IQs,different outcomes.
IQ doesn't mean shit man.
I am an enterpreneur.
MOST people on your team will not be high IQ geniuses.
You need most people to be able to do task base work.
All complicated formulas are done by tools.
If tools are available and people know how to use it.But at the beginning of doing things on your own you wouldn't have all the tools...
My opinion, and it’s not worth much I’m just a prol bottom dweller, is that high IQ and genius should be separated. Genius is the ability to adapt and solve problems. High IQ would be the retention of information stored or the amount absorbed, retained and ability to administer into an application. Genius is a very useful and practical quality. High IQ alone, normally seems to lack a discernment and understanding to adapt and respond to critical analysis within practical problem solving outside of retained information, and usually seems to be boxed in and limited to the absorbed information that has been retained. High IQ is a negative if it is not accompanied by genius. Hence why we have so many educated and high IQ fools. But so goes the mystery of life. Next conversation what is the difference between knowledge and wisdom?
