Evolution doesn't care about better it only cares about adaptation and survival. The most intelligent were often stoned to death or didn't have children, thus becoming a genetc dead end. More intelligent people are often more neurotic and depressed because they see the what others cannot; this also makes it difficult to sustain relationships.
Generally, you are always best suited to live amongst a population/ethnicity of similar intelligence. Europeans evolved in harsh (but not too harsh), cold, resource limited, environments that kicked their ass until they evolved the intelligence to kick nature's ass back with concepts like agriculture and industrialisation. Adapting to such an environment also develops the part of the brain that handles delayed gratification; extremely important for planning and surviving winters with clever resource management. All these features also conducive to developing universal ethics (via Christianity) and by extension modern civilisation.
Africans evolved in temperate or tropical environments where resources were plentiful. They never needed to adapt their intelligence for agriculture or anything advanced because food was hanging off trees.
None of this means one is better than the other, just means one is adapted to different environments. This is why third worlders fail in Western civilisation without the welfare state. Conversely westerners fail in third world environments because the higher intelligence makes you a target and you end up getting purged like farmers in Zimbabwe.
This is all generalisations based on populations though and can't be used to judge individuals. It can however be used to predict the implications of mass third world immigration: we won't be able to sustain our civilisation.
Evolution doesn't care about better it only cares about adaptation and survival.
Evolution 'caring' lol the absurdity 😂
If 'evolution' was real, and as you say cared only about adaptation and survival, the trans gay sodimites would not exist. Also evolution cant 'care' about anything.
That's another good point. Look how much taller kids like Barron grow when they are attended by top tier chefs. Certainly there's a similar link in regards to intelligence.
Yes, both my parents were high IQ, but daddy was a wife-beater type, and my mom was irresponsible a drunk and had a long string of bad men in her life. A lot of shit happened... Rather have been born to average IQ parents who were decent.
Too harsh an environment. Need a goldilocks environment where nature only kicks your ass a little. Desert and freezing environments where agriculture doesn't work is not conducive at all. Just stunts evolution.
yes, I think this is why upper midwest is awesome; harsh weather, higher IQs. Minnesota is not a fair example because it's been manipulated, but back in the 70s it was a great place to be.
I don't have a 180 IQ but have worked as a janitor before. Then I switched to security and at night. Can do your own thing at a lot of posts and work lots of hours while having "living room"or making money while on duty.
For instance several security jobs I did janitorial work for extra income (bartenders will pay). Also played computer games to earn money...
On those free internet tests, I get a halfway decent score. I always just assumed it was because I had a good education from K-6th. Don't bother asking what happened from 7th on.. lol
As we get older, our ability to conceptualize and rationalize problems, improves. The rate at which we learn to do this, is an indicator of our IQ. IQ does not measure aptitude towards striving to success, merely the ease with which the mind can grasp and expand on new ideas. Examples would be story problems, number progressions, how a shape folded along certain lines would look in 3D, etc.
How about how a room would look redecorated? I don't understand people who can't imagine a space, or a project or an outfit or a party plan. I didn't realize that there are people who cannot make pictures in their heads.
I am ranked as Bright, but have no clue how to imagine a room with a particular color with trim. I can appreciate it when it’s done. But am not the person you want picking colors.
I have read studies that women see over 400 colors, while men seem to recognize less than half that. Women tend to track styles, colors and decorative hobbies; few men do. We focus on woodwork, firearms, farming, hard sciences. We are fundamentally different
So I call the shots on material types, structurally stability, durability; and she can pick the color, texture and general shape. She has a care about street appeal and the different “profiles”. I care about the bones
Yep. It's best when partners have different strengths and weaknesses like that. Hubby and I are like that.
I'd been watching House Hunters or some similar show and I guess thinking about it, it's when the women on there were the ones that couldn't "see" the potential that it stood out for me. Or they would come in and say something like "This kitchen needs to be gutted, it's so outdated" and I'm yelling at the TV like an idiot.. "Those cabinets are still being sold today! you stupid... " etc. Just because something isn't their style, doesn't make it outdated or needing to be wasted. But that's a whole other off subject rant..lol
Me smoothbrain ape who no nuffin. The 2 IQ tests i took were very different.
One said I had the brain the size of a planet and the other one said I should make a good toilet cleaner.
I called out this psychology dept for their different results and naturally enough they tried to blame me. If they fuck up its always the fault of the client, a wonderful cop out.
Great comments! Yes the 7 IQs are similar to a stereo equalizer in that people may be high scoring in some areas and low scoring in others. Ever seen Einstein's office? A pig-pen? Or read about Tesla? A very strange person...
They sold people the lie that going into higher education makes you smarter, when in reality smart people would go into higher education. Literally the equivalent of saying playing basketball will make you taller. Then they had to lower the standards to account for the socialisation of higher education and wanting to let everyone attend regardless of ability.
Propaganda because every form of IQ data pointed to certain races being superior to others.
IQ matters, and its one dimensional and plain cut. Everything else around it is just fluff to make excuses to distance people from the facts IQ give humans.
Yeah the only reason you can say it, is if you looked it up already. In which case you should have posted the link so we could read it for ourselves. Otherwise what's the point of posting it without the link? I actually agree with you already but this thread is useless and won't convince anyone who isn't on the same page.

Are you seriously conflating evolution with a few generations of marxist brain washing and psychological abuse?
You know damn well 'care' is a placeholder here and not literal. I'm not going to insult your intelligence and instead assume you are trolling.
You haven't made any arguments, but if you intend to argue that evolution doesn't exist, that's fine. However you aren't doing a very good job.
They are better at surviving, but I meant better/kinder people.
Lol yea, and the blanket perception of the smart Asians, is mostly true in Japan, Korea, and some areas of China and India. SE Asia has lower IQs too.
Yes. Apparently I did. I will delete it and repost to the right one.
Environment doesn't play nearly as big as a part on intellect than genetics does, it's not even close.
That's the real "uncomfortable truth"
the environment plays a part in producing the genetics. think winter forcing natural selection vs eternal summer and abundant food.
Indeed, that's a good point.
That's another good point. Look how much taller kids like Barron grow when they are attended by top tier chefs. Certainly there's a similar link in regards to intelligence.
Yes, both my parents were high IQ, but daddy was a wife-beater type, and my mom was irresponsible a drunk and had a long string of bad men in her life. A lot of shit happened... Rather have been born to average IQ parents who were decent.
So... the average Afghani or Somali has a higher IQ than people from the U.S. or Britain?
I suppose Eskimos have the world's highest IQ?
Too harsh an environment. Need a goldilocks environment where nature only kicks your ass a little. Desert and freezing environments where agriculture doesn't work is not conducive at all. Just stunts evolution.
Harsher natural environment. Where it's very cold, it is hard to survive the winter...
yes, I think this is why upper midwest is awesome; harsh weather, higher IQs. Minnesota is not a fair example because it's been manipulated, but back in the 70s it was a great place to be.
I grew up in Minnesota. I used to have nostalgic feelings towards it. Now, I just thank God he got us out of there!
lol, dunno on eskimos
I can confirm, as I have a high IQ (or so they tell me) and am a worthless POS.
u/#covfefe
Ok, I'm going back to being worthless now.
Me too! I didn't have a successful career, but I survived...
I don't have a 180 IQ but have worked as a janitor before. Then I switched to security and at night. Can do your own thing at a lot of posts and work lots of hours while having "living room"or making money while on duty.

The way IQ was explained to me. It’s more a measure of how easy it is for you to learn and remember/apply what you’ve learned.
Why couldn’t you train yourself to think this way? I would think you could boost your score by a few points.
On those free internet tests, I get a halfway decent score. I always just assumed it was because I had a good education from K-6th. Don't bother asking what happened from 7th on.. lol
Ah, well, seeing as I'm a grandma and don't plan on entering any higher indoctrination at this point, I guess I'll live..lol.
Makes it easy to understand...
IQ is Intellectual Age / Chronological Age
As we get older, our ability to conceptualize and rationalize problems, improves. The rate at which we learn to do this, is an indicator of our IQ. IQ does not measure aptitude towards striving to success, merely the ease with which the mind can grasp and expand on new ideas.

I defer to my wife for these choices
That's interesting to me and probably makes your wife happy. Lol Maybe there is a level of practice involved.
I have read studies that women see over 400 colors, while men seem to recognize less than half that. Women tend to track styles, colors and decorative hobbies; few men do. We focus on woodwork, firearms, farming, hard sciences. We are fundamentally different
So I call the shots on material types, structurally stability, durability; and she can pick the color, texture and general shape. She has a care about street appeal and the different “profiles”. I care about the bones
So it works out
Yep. It's best when partners have different strengths and weaknesses like that. Hubby and I are like that.
I'd been watching House Hunters or some similar show and I guess thinking about it, it's when the women on there were the ones that couldn't "see" the potential that it stood out for me. Or they would come in and say something like "This kitchen needs to be gutted, it's so outdated" and I'm yelling at the TV like an idiot.. "Those cabinets are still being sold today! you stupid... " etc. Just because something isn't their style, doesn't make it outdated or needing to be wasted. But that's a whole other off subject rant..lol
Oh, also, the farming thing. Hubby has his tractor and I garden. They aren't the same..lol

I think that really, their brain is just more alert/hyper. I'm guessing there are parts of their lives that are a hot mess.
This makes sense because children raised in harsh environments - abusive/ addicted parents have to plan how to make it through each day using logic.
That's true in my case, but I was referring to colder climates.
we just gonna make up "truths" now
Source: Trust me bro.
Not trying to start a research project. Look up World IQ levels... It's just natural selection at work...
Yeah the only reason you can say it, is if you looked it up already. In which case you should have posted the link so we could read it for ourselves.

It wasn't a recent discovery, so I didn't have a link.
