Waste of taxpayer money or not, that's another discussion. The comment was about cognitive ability.

As regards OP, I'm not sure how to grade "importance.' Are we talking about most widely read? Then it would probably be a novel of some sort, Great Gatsby or 1984 or some such we all read in school. Impact on how economies/societies are structured? Much tougher to answer, maybe some of the seminal Marxist works that influenced large parts of the third world "liberation" movements, affecting millions of lives. Lenin's works, perhaps? I'm pretty unfamiliar with that niche.
As far as longevity, I doubt many other works will be read as far into the future as Lord of the Rings. It's on par with the Eddas, Beowulf, Homer, etc. It is the epic of our civilization.

Didn't know that, sounds cool. Doesn't make cognitive ability a meme. Every race has evolved to be excellent at various tasks within their environment. That's how evolution works: the environment places pressures on populations that select for various genetic expressions. The mental capacity to track a buffalo 50 miles is to be respected, but does not mean that individual/group has an equally capable prefrontal cortex, ability to think conceptually, etc. as another group.
IQ is a "meme," because it only measures certain aspects of intelligence. Overall cognitive ability is not. Look at the differences in adopting western technology between Africa and the Far East. Africans have fared miserably, East Asians have been off and running for decades. Same technology, same time period, two very different evolutionary groups.
If an ELE were to occur, the Africans that are still living hunter-gatherer lifestyles are going to fare significantly better than us "soft" westerners that haven't even grown our own food for generations. Most of us will die off, they will thrive in the aftermath. But that doesn't mean they have higher cognitive ability, it means their knowledge and experiences will have prepared them more for the new survival metrics.
Fighting the obvious fact of differing intelligence in different evolutionary groups is a hopeless task, despite the massive amount of very powerful egalitarian propaganda we're subjected to from a very early age.
It doesn't mean that whites are "better" than Africans any more than Jews or Asians are "better" than we are because they have higher IQs.

That's true, but the environment between Europe and Africa isn't that different, and it shows.

Despite there being more Africans than Europeans we have situation where there are incredible disparities between the two, no matter where or when
- lack of literature
- lack of innovation
- lack of patents
- lack of industry despite dirt cheap labor force
- lack of industry despite dirt cheap labor force and immediate vicinity to industrialized fworld
- no wheel before 19th century & other people bring it for you
- fares incredibly badly in every measurable feat and ability when compared to any other group. No matter where or when.
- more violent and inability to coexist, no matter where or when
Both violence and cognitive ability are genetic and when the environment favors things we'd consider negative over what we'd consider positive it's natural that after tens of thousands of years of natural and manmade selection you'd end up vast differences between people
Places with winter require people to work together and plan for future, or you die and your children will die
Places that require you to outrun animals don't require you to do any of that

I don't think there's satisfactory answer as to why China didn't land on the moon 3,000 years ago. Maybe they are really corrupt country and not really creative or innovative and just cheat in everything? Even in those IQ tests? There are actual riots in China over not being able to cheat

>For the students, and for their parents waiting outside the school, the new rules went too far. As soon as the exams finished, a mob swarmed into the school in protest. “I picked up my son at midday [from his exam]. He started crying. I asked him what was up and he said a teacher had frisked his body and taken his mobile phone from his underwear. I was furious and I asked him if he could identify the teacher. I said we should go back and find him,” one of the fathers, named as Yin, said to the police later.

>By late afternoon, the invigilators were trapped in school offices as students pelted the windows with rocks. Outside, more than 2,000 people had gathered to vent their rage, smashing cars and chanting.

Again, IQ is an imperfect measure of overall mental ability. And mental ability is not the only measure of "worth," no matter how you define it.
Let's compare and contrast Europeans, Jews, and Asians.
East Asians score higher on IQ tests than whites. One could take this as being "smarter" than we are. They do better on average than we do in our own economies, having higher average incomes, higher levels of education, etc. But what have they invented? What have they created? Gunpowder 1000 years ago that they never put to use? They have taken technology developed by westerners and transformed their countries with it, raising their standards of living and even making relatively minor technological advancements themselves. But they are responsible for very little innovation overall. It was Europeans that developed the math and science (and the transmission of this knowledge over centuries and spans of geography!) that led to the mind boggling innovations in communications (radio, television, telephones, computers, the internet), medicine (antibiotics, prosthetics, robotics, even basic sanitation procedures and surgery), transportation (trains, planes, and automobiles), name it brother. The east Asians have adopted our technology remarkably well, but have developed very little of it themselves. They generally lack some sort of creative spark that is more common in our genotype, something that causes innovation and not merely adoption. Hence their stereotype as "bugmen" or highly functioning robots: they can learn the rules and play the game well, but do very little thinking outside the box.
Jews also outperform whites pretty drastically. Without getting into /pol/tier bullshit, Jews are highly successful in western nations. Like Asians, they do better in most intelligence/economic metrics than we do. But a cursory examination of Jewish history shows their defining peculiarity: they are a people in diaspora. The majority of Jews have spent the majority of history outside of their Jewish homeland. Even when "given the chance to return," as now and under Darius, half/most choose to stay in other lands, enjoying their success in America/Babylon/wherever. Being highly successful in their host countries, they have little incentive to return to their own home, where they have failed time and time again to thrive and create a "Jewish civilization." Instead of building a great nation of their own people, Jews tend to live in nations built by others, and tend to rise to the top of the economic/power ladders in these countries. Hence their stereotype as "parasites" than must live off a host nation.

Now I have plenty of great things to say about Jews and Asians, let's not let this discussion devolve into /pol/ level faggotry.

The point is that IQ is only a measure of certain aspects of intelligence, as evidenced by two groups that have higher IQs than whites and outperform us in certain ways but drastically underperform us in others.

>> No.17820069

>>17820021
Well, you did ask why they didn't invent those things before Europeans. I did counterclaim that maybe they werent all that smart?

Not to mention progress isnt linear and inventing from abstract something concrete isn't something that happens naturally or linearly to all civilizations and people in some specific timeline as if it was Civilization videogame

Steam engine doesnt happen naturally to every civilization after certain points in culture and science have been achievent, nor will capitalism, steam engine or rocket, because for most part these are pretty abstract inventions to conjure from nothing

No, the only thing I'd agree to is that specifically Sub-Saharan Africans have *on average* lower IQ scores compared to other populations on the planet, and those studies were done 50 years ago and might even be wrong, given the current replicability crisis in social science.

I'd argue that most problems in Africa stem from political instability and corruption, which are not features that are unique to places where people have a lower on average IQ.

IQ is imperfect measure for cognitive ability, that much is clear, but it's quite possibly best objective measure we've ever had for it. It doesn't take into accoun things like innovation and such, that much is clear, only logical reasoning, which is quite good reflection of general cognitive ability of a person or group.
That said there are clear indicators of cognitive abilities in general, such as failure to invent or utilize basic shapes like wheel or how they affect their immediate surroundings or countries. It's quite feat to turn tropical paradise into something no one is willing to pay visit, despite dirt cheap prices. Or how there's no massive industrialization in the coastal region of Africa, despite the labour force being practically free.

They actually have a lot more use for 'antiracism' for that purpose. If you accept the IQ differences between populations, what policy and culture does that promote? It promotes raceblindness and judging individuals. Probably it promotes pushing the IQ differences under the rug, and trying to not talk about race much in mainstream discourse at all.

Antiracism on the other hand paints a very different picture. If the populations are actually equal then something has to be causing the massively disparate outcomes, and that something is White RacismTM, which makes the *entire* white population guilty in a kind of decentralized fashion.

But somehow I bet you think that the natives "deserve" to be leeches because they belong to the correct race, even though their intelligence is comparable to the dumb foreigners.

The native population has accounted for people that can't be productive enough and that's why the welfare state was put in place, so we don't murder or let those people starve to death. This is a humane thing to do which does not place an extreme burden on the rest of the people since the underachievers are just a fraction of the population.
Now if you open the floodgates to people that are chronic underachievers to the point of them being ~40-50% of your population then the burden placed on the rest is not sustainable.

Racist policies actually don't work very well as it concerns the prevention of economic success.

If you would actually be interested in oppression you would do something like look at average incomes by IQ so you could establish that something is off. The thing though is that income usually corresponds with the IQ. Meaning 80 IQ blacks earn as much as 80 IQ whites but there's just a greater proportion of blacks in the 80 IQ segment.

I'm not saying that IQ is everything (I made the point that it wasn't) and obviously you need to have the surplus resources to even allow for the existence of artists.

Clearly wealth is highly significant in this but again obviously not everything, just look at art today. I'm against the reductionism, there's no simplicity in my personal view.

Jews are not terrible in the arts, though many of the best Jewish artists appear to be Mischlings. Jews only started properly integrating in European art culture in the 19th century, when it was in total upheaval, and they were naturally predisposed as a semi-alien cultural entity to tap into the radical subversion of conventions that was going on.

It is obvious that a Proust or Mendelssohn had about as much natural talent in the conventional sense as it is possible to have though. There is no Jewish Shakespeare or Mozart maybe but there isn't a German Shakespeare or English Mozart either, they were absolute peaks of a whole civilization.

I'm not making this argument at random. Jews aren't terrible in relation to Europeans, they are terrible in relation to their IQ. Any exclusion narrative applies broadly but if you look at the sciences today Jews dominate to such an extent that we should expect similar things in art. But this goes further, if you know about Jewish intelligence you know that it is highly verbal. Meaning they should dominate in literature to a much larger extent than they do in math. Then to adress the particular point of exclusion, this isn't oberservable at all in the arts where technical ability is required. Here suddenly Jews have the greatest violinists, pianists and whatnot, conforming to their dominance in other intellectual enterprises. Clearly here arises a picture of creative weakness and if you think about it, it would be the expected genetic outcome. This now gets extremely controversial. The psychometrically measured personality trait associated with creativity is 'openness'. Meaning the same trait that would've led a Jew to leave his community and assimilate is the one responsible for creativity. You see where I'm going here? They've been selected for a closed 'xenophobic' mind.

Iirc, before the Persians invaded they tore down their own city and all took to ships and waged war against the Persians along the eastern coast. They basically existed as a pirate nation for a while and because their main ally, the Spartans, suspected their general of treason they were able to establish control over the trade networks in the Mediterranean Ocean.

I assume the question itself is bait, but it's significant in that it marked the end of any acceptance of "race science" - or what it's called "scientific racism" - and a complete shift to social constructivism as an explanation of ethnic or cultural differences. Charles Murray's latest book was an assigned reading in my course and he's far more subtle about genetics (i.e. interclass marriage increasing the gap of intellectual ability between working and upper-middle class Americans) No academic would dare touch these subjects anymore for the sake of his reputation.
