Research why IQ levels seem to be higher in extremely cold areas... Also affects saving for rainy days attitudes.
Really, IQ is subjective based on the test you were taking. The San Bushmen are extremely skilled hunters, yet score 60-70 on conventional IQ tests.

That's what I say whenever someone uses IQ scores as an excuse for racism. If this post was not made with those intentions, sorry, but at least you learned something.
Have you hunted? I do. It’s a learned task. That’s all it is. What ground-breaking hunting process have they come up with that is so much better than modem technology and practices? You’re intentionally conflating this task with critical thinking, pattern recognition, deductive reasoning, and thought out intuitive understanding.
Those two things (IQ) and a task will never, ever, ever be the same, and you know it. Frankly I’m surprised you didn’t mention sport, where similar unique tasks can be achieved with hard work and innate ability. But the ability to throw a ball and finishing complex mathematical equations aren’t the same. As seen every day, you don’t have to be smart to be athletic.
So, your argument is invalid. IQ has been proven to be the basis for many, many successes. And lack of it, the basis for many, many failures. It is literally one of the requirements for a properly functioning society. Why White people (and Asian) developed higher IQ than other races is well documented, and I know you are aware of these things. The fact remains that IQ is extremely important. Cold and meat eating encouraged the cultivation of higher IQ. Delaying gratification also did.
Finally, because you went there, racism is a made up word. Calling someone a racist is no longer the insult you think it is. You implied that linking IQ to a higher life was racist. It’s not, it’s reality.
Yeah, you and I both know what arguments (those logical and the irrational ones) will happen next between you and I. I won’t respond, so type what you want. Just know that enough people see your “IQ is racist” trope, and not only understand what it is, but are tired of it. Crying “racist” doesn’t do what it used to anymore.
Lmao visibly mad you literally wrote 5 paragraphs against a like maybe 80 word comment
Funny, one supposedly high IQ dude I know couldn't start a freaking fire with a Bic lighter. He couldn't figure it out for himself either.
He could be taught but he still sucked.
You would thin the high iq dude would be excited to figure it out.
I just want to chip in that not all Asians are of high IQ and that IQ doesn't mean that you are a better person. My wife is Filipino and a much nicer talk-about person than I am, and yet she would not understand most of the info going on, in fact, she doesn't like to talk about it. Not a Scientologist, but they discuss the whole IQ thing as Theta and there's some truth there.
I lived in the Philippines 3 years and ran into a lot of unintelligent teachers that couldn't solve simple math questions. A high School math teacher that couldn't figure out any number squared or cubed and we are talking 5 then 2... Nice person, but not who I'd want teaching math to my kids.
IQ is not a guarantee of success, never scored below 135 on an IQ test and could often score 145 and I have taken a lot of IQ tests, but I didn't do squat with my life. IQ is a curse for me because I realize my life was damaged by my shit childhood. Molested as a toddler, then again at 12-14. Watched Mommy get beat up by her fellow drunks that she choose to run with, and not even married to most of them. There were people who tried to buy me at the age of 10 (No idea their intentions)
Didn't do squat in school after Elementary school, slept and read in class in my self-medicated state of smoking weed, and got passed along, I didn't disrupt the class. At 19 I tried to go into the military, but couldn't get in due to the lazy eye from Daddy punching Mommy in the belly when pregnant, at least I lived even though born at 7 months 4 Lbs 5 oz, at least I didn't die like the sibling that lived 4 days, born 361 days later, she was 2 lbs 5 oz. The military sent me to an eye specialist, but I was a no-go, recruiter telling me my score was 1 in 1000 and they really wanted me, Thanks, Daddy.
Dropped out at 14, but passed the GED without studying at 26, and scored high enough on the ACT to receive an honors 2+2 scholarship, school doesn't get the money if they don't have a qualifying student. I didn't want that, I just wanted computer science classes. Didn't finnesh my degree tho'
I'm definitely damaged goods emotionally, but I use what happened to try and help people, and I'm proud of that. I'm not shy to share stories from my life if I can help someone turn their life around, by leaving an abuser before the children are damaged, or going to trade school, college, or the military. Maybe 1 in 50 or 1 in 100 has a lightbulb lit up by my conversation. I'm good with that.
Not really, my great grand mother is from North Africa and black. I'm blur eyed, blond and olive skinned when tanned. Pale as fuck when not.
