racist is a moral argument; not even an argument really just an attack on the person or the point they're making

TBC doesn't seek to incite racial hatred, nor does it make any overtly political points, all it does it to state the data collect on IQ and discuss it in terms of how it is stratified along racial and class lines, the same stratification pattern we see time and again no matter what test is administered, who administers it, what country it's done in and accounting for socioeconomic background as well

any conclusions you draw from it are your own, but at least try to make arguments against it on academic and scholarly grounds rather than just 'it's means to minorities'

same with The Culture of Critique - it's a pretty detached and sterile piece of academic writing, but due to the subject matter it's verboten

IQ is proven to be race related, and speaking as a huwhite man I am not in the least disturbed by Asians as a group having an average IQ higher than my group.

I can tell you've never read the book and are generally confused.

Firstly, race realists acknowledge that Asians have an average mean IQ higher than whites, in fact that's one of their main reasons for saying that race is a compendium of multiple phenotypic/genotypic distinctions rather than being a variation in one trait like skin color.

Secondly, dissident right wingers tend to be very critical of capitalism, especially when it comes to the tendency towards international universalism and the destruction of communities that capitalism engages in. Also, you're very much so putting the cart before the horse with your GDP -> IQ line of thinking. It's obvious that not starving to death increases your nations average IQ, but having a higher IQ on a macro scale tends to produce higher social complexity, not the other way around.

>> No.13202969

>>13202823


Statistical correlations aren't concrete proof but a foundation for inductive reasoning. The reality of the situation is very obviously more nuanced than "race decides iq and it's proven". Theres several factors to account for such as cultural, psychological, environmental, and historical influences etc. Its not to say that there isnt a potential for even more influences such as race, but to make it the definitive one is just lazy reasoning.

>> No.13203001

>>13202969
Race realists don't say that race is the ONLY determining factor. However, ceteris paribus the races naturally stratify into different IQ bands, and given that IQ is hugely deterministic of factors that are generally associated with success and the prosperity of individuals and nations.

Your very own map shows gulf states that have massive oil revenues have similar IQs to gulfs states/north african countries which are poor as shit.
>If race and GDP were really correlated, how do you explain Argentina?
Race and GDP are not correlated. IQ and GDP are. Other than IQ there are two big factors you can use to boost your GDP - natural resources (dig them up and flog em) and becoming a tax haven. There are numerous examples of low IQ countries doing each - e.g. Botswana, Panama, Saudi Arabia etc. You can also handicap yourself by going full communism: North Korea, Cuba, China, Russia, the rest of Eastern Europe.

Argentina started out pretty well, it had a GDP per capita in 1900 near equal to that of America. But a few coups, some socialism, mass migration of its intelligentsia and it's fucked up. IQ is not a static thing in a population. It can change. Being a white country does not guarantee an IQ of 100, nor does it guarantee you won't go full communism. Prime example is West Virginia. Little economic opportunity for high IQ people, they all leave to work else where leaving behind a residual population that has an average IQ of around 95, the dumbest whites in America. This is happening in a lot of post industrial areas, which is why it's so hard to restore them.

Ignoring intelligence means you will be forever expecting Papua New Guinea to suddenly take off in an economic explosion like South Korea, or for the next Einstein to emerge from some hill tribe in Kenya. The world must be a perpetually confusing place.

I read it a few months ago. My observations:

>>13203223
To illustrate my point about migration altering a populations IQ, look at this graph. It's from the UK biobank (n=500,000), using one of the new polygenic scores for intelligence. They check where the person was born and where they currently live. People who were born in coal field areas of the UK and move away are substantially genetically smarter than people who remained. This has a permanent effect on the population that remains.
You also see this in African migrants, at least the ones that have to jump through the hoops of migrating legally (i.e. not refugees/illegal immigrants). They are often from the smartest fraction in Africa and do extremely well in the US or Europe. Top American universities are stuffing themselves with them to fulfill the affirmative action diversity quota, which is ironic as they are more likely the ancestors of slave traders rather than slaves.

Charles Murray has explicitly stated that you should not treat anyone differently based on race because there are high IQ blacks and low IQ whites. All his stats are just that: stats; and they don't inform you about how you should treat people.

As you see in pic related, immigrants from Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Ethopia -- all of whom you would derisively refer to as 'LOW IQ NIGGERS WHO NEED TO GO BACK' -- actually have higher rates of educated people than the native population. This is why it is retarded to base your judgements of people on skin colour.

Unlike most people that talk about this book, I’ve actually read it and I would say it’s worth reading. The book essentially opens with a long explanation as to why this kind of discussion is necessary and goes over all the sociological implications. It’s well written and makes sense. The “racist” chapter, so to speak, is unfortunately based on the work of Lynn which has been regarded by many as faulty by now (he’s praised in the book, but keep in mind this book is very old). It also doesn’t help that the author is old as fuck now and jaded due to all the leftoids harassing him so his appearances now are all more provocative than educational. I would recommend reading it; it’s an easy read and pretty interesting for the most part. Him and the other author are smart people and were very careful with their words.

There has been a lot more research on this than you think. It's not something that universities are 'afraid' to look into. It's just that the results are inconclusive, and the outcome so far is that a minor IQ gap could exist, but even if so, it's not something significant enough to inform policy. There are, as there have always been, some semi-prominent psychologists who have a dissenting opinion and believe the race IQ gap is more ironclad or significant than the general consensus, but they haven't backed up their arguments well enough to alter consensus, and lately they've been more likely to say "this study which goes against our hypothesis really should have been done slightly better", which of course could be said about almost all psychological studies, and it's not as if the ones these guys champion are better.

Do you even know what this means? It means that even in situations where the environmental factors are entirely controlled out, one would expect 30% variation. If that's your argument for a genetic basis for the race gap it's a horribly flimsy one. Even the authors of the study that Bell Curve uses for its most significant citation didn't think it lend support to either the environmental view or the hereditary view of the racial IQ gap.

I mean my point about iq and GDP still stands. IMO though GDP doesn't matter as much as quality of life.

Wasn't your claim that GDP differences to lead to differences in IQ?
What that guy's saying is that it's the other way around (aside from those exceptions which affect only GDP), which is pretty clear to me.

desu the main thing is that I find it hard to believe that today, for the first time in human history, IQ has resulted in the proper economic sorting of nations, whereas these same nationalities were ordered much differently before, which would require either the nationality's IQ to be different or the correlation to have only begun existing recently-- neither example being conducive to a just-world understanding of the current geopolitical order

A stable implementation of capitalism will result in the proper economic sorting of nations based on IQ after a few generations. For some countries, like China, it is the "first time in history"

Obvs the correlation is not perfect, and there are other variables like resources, geography, emigration, etc But this is pretty common sense stuff

>IQ has resulted in the proper economic sorting of nations
Prior to the industrial revolution and the demographic transition, improvements in technology primarily caused increases in population. That is, wealth of the average individual stayed the same (very low), but the total amount of wealth in an area increased - there was differentiation in ancient times as evident by the various civilisations that arose.

Now, you could increase the individuals average wealth by maintaining the level of technology but reducing the population - this happened after plagues, wars etc. Suddenly there aren't so many mouths to feed, more food to go around, and labourers are in higher demand from the elite. You can also reduce the population by cultural practices - infanticide, human sacrifice, delayed marriage/chastity etc. Elites can also alter the distribution of wealth, directing some of it from increasing the population to working on mega projects or enriching themselves.

When the industrial revolution happened efficiencies increased at rate faster than the rise in population (Britain went from 15 million to 50 million in a century), and then for some reason people stopped having so many babies. Population stabilised and now the whole of society became better off as it increased in wealth.

>which would require either the nationality's IQ to be different
As I posted before, IQ can change. >>13203447
If a population is stratified, i.e. there is an elite that has better fertility than the lower classes, and if that elite is to some degree based on intelligence, then IQ will increase. There will be downward mobility of people - the not so smart children of the elite will become the new middle class, the not so smart children of the middle class will become labourers. The not so smart labourers will die childless. Downward mobility is good! If on the other hand the elite aren't replacing themselves because having children is a drag, and there is mostly upward mobility instead, then IQ will decrease in a society. This process is probably long and slow, i.e. over a 1000 years for substantial changes. However, give me unlimited funds, 200 years and no moral restraints and I will breed you a black population of super geniuses. We could be doing this in a soft way right now: Every sperm bank should be desperately encouraging the smartest scientists and greatest artists to contribute. It's an incredibly easy thing to do - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Repository_for_Germinal_Choice

There are differences between the races, and IQ seems to be one of them. As for genders, to my understanding gender matters less in average IQ than race. Average IQ between men and women of the same race seem to be roughly the same but men's bell curve is shorter and broader while women's are more tall and thin. This means that on the extremes; the extremely intelligent and extremely unintelligent, men make up the bulk of those two groups. Suddenly it makes sense why the bulk of technological advancements came from men. Most geniuses are male. Even in the past 50 years in which in the West women have had ready access to post-secondary education; the vast majority of scientific and technological advancements have come from men. Also from primarily White/Jewish/Asian men because those races have an average IQ of 100-115. Black/Arab IQ, to my understanding, is lower. Down around 80-90, and 80 is such a low IQ that the US Military will not accept anyone that low because there's no duty that they can be given which they will not perform in a counter-productive fashion.

i despise poltards more than anyone but this is legit. the only reason to deny race differences in IQ is either deep ignorance or an emotional or ideological bias that acts as a mental block. even a priori, the idea that all populations would end up identical in all traits except skin pigmentation and physical characteristics after thousands to tens of thousands of years of divergent evolution is patently absurd, a belief on par with creationism.

Genetics are indeed a part of it, it would seem. That's why I'd prefer a White or Asian wife rather than a Black, Arab, or Hispanic one.

>African-Americans
>Doing anything good

They're the scum of the earth. I cannot think of a single demographic I hate more than the nigger. And when I say nigger I mean AA not actual Africans. Niggers had literally everything handed to them down to their very freedom as they were freed by their very captors. They lived through every age of opportunity in the best possible place to be and simply COULD NOT escape each other's grasp as they pulled each other down trying to climb out of the bucket of poverty and misery. The truth is niggers are weak. So weak that they still live in slavedom they need a white master to be the cause of all their pain. That's why they just can't integrate. That's why they made up their own isolated subculture instead of integrating it into the American culture at large. That's why every time a black shine through he's dragged down. They are afraid that once they become equal with their "masters" all their faults will be painfully apparent. They're black first, American second. That's the barrier that keeps both the nigger safe and enslaved.
An American probably wouldn't understand but try putting yourself in the shoes of some Somalian rotting away in his village with no name. Now imagine that your neighbor was somehow allowed into the USA. He could have gotten a job he could have lived a happy life free of crime. And then you learned that he squandered it all. How do you feel about him ? You would hate him of course. That's how Africans feel about niggers.
