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.
Of course you wouldn’t have all the tools.
I think in order to understand if IQ is important. You would need to establish what type of job we would need someone to do and why:
To say that the reason why a group fails is because of low IQ. That doesn’t make sense:
If you watch shows like the profit.
If you look at most business ventures. Most of them fail and blow money:
We just can’t say. Well the reason why you failed is because your IQ wasn’t good enough:
My point is.
In Africa.
We can’t say it’s IQ. When there are so many cultures that live with each other.
An IQ test isn’t a mandatory thing in Africa: So to use an average stat doesn’t make sense.
When in reality. Would bet that the majority of people who live in Africa/
Have never taken the IQ teat in the first place. It’s not a requirement.
Just like the majority of blacks in America. Have never taken it as well.
Nor care to.
