British innovation and genuis

I hadn't considered this point too much. Perhaps I'm too pessemtsitc to believe that an untainted million (or two) could remain in England, let alone return us to such heights of renown and accomplishment. Only time will tell, I suppose.

The industrial revolution lowered infant mortality from 50% to 1%, created a surplus of resources and rapid urbanisation. These factors coalesced to enable the genetically weak, who would have under natural conditions died at birth or in infancy, to live on and propagate. Hence, the demographics of society began to shift from a time when the wealthy and more intelligent had more children (we see this in records of wills) to a time when the less geneticall fit and less intelligent lower classes were reproducing more than anyone else. Consequently, average iq goes down, per capita innovation goes down, genetic diseases increase in frequency, reaction times go down (marker of intelligence), colour differentiation goes down, crime goes up, etc. That's where they all went. They got outbred by less intelligent and less genetically fit people.

It is thought that the 'little ice age',from 1303 to 1850, in England had a positive affect on the intelligence of Britons. The theory states that it created a harsher environment and thereby, increased selection pressures. Meaning, you would have to be more genetically fit to survive during such a time period (on average) than you would in say today's slightly warmer climate. Harsher selection pressure means a healthier populace and health and intelligence are inseparable qualities. In short, the weak and less intelligent would have not been able to reproduce as easily (keep their offspring alive and healthy) as the already genetically healthy and intelligent. The harsher the conditions are, the more this effect is seen. Its also a fairly ubiquitously accepted expalination, by evolutionary anthropologists, as to why northern Europeans have a higher iq than peoples from warmer climates. You need to think ahead and plan more to be able to survive in cold conditions than you do in a warm savannah of relative plenty.

From a very quick skim read it seems like they just got very unlucky as many bad things happened at around the same time in England. There was a massive plague outbreak, a great famine and the warm period ended. If I had to make an uneducated assessment of the impact of these events I'd say its complicated. If you're talking about the short term well-being of the English, it was obviously disastrous. Lots of death, suffering, violence, disorder, etc. However, I don't think the case is the same for the long term prospects of the English. Had the population exceeded what the resources in that society could have supported, there would have been a collapse anyway, just later on. Also, like I said before, it's a reversion to harsher darwinian conditions which increases selection pressures and generally makes a populace healthier, more intelligent and better adapted to their environment, for only people with those qualities are able to survive and operate. Sounds awful, but it was probably the cause, or a cause, of the genuis and intellect in Britain in later centuries. All layman conjecture here though so don't take me too seriously.

Newton wasn't genetically weak. Genuis is a curious and poorly understood thing that is often accompanied by some mild illness. However, you can't use people like newton as an example against selection for intelligence. Firstly, genuis is thought to be the product of mutation between two intelligent (healthy) parents that produces a person with outlier high iq. His father was a prosperous and wealthy farmer of high social standing. Given the correlation between wealth and intelligence of 0.8 its fairly safe to assume that Newtons late father was an, at least reasonably, intelligent man. His mother was the daughter of a butcher (if I recall correctly?) an esteemed profession at the time which would have required intelligence to be successful in. She was probably reasonably intelligent. Neither were poor.
>That sort of selection has no bearing on mental achievement
This is absolutely absurd.
>Today's international strategy is to grow populations to massive extent for small increases in "genius" yields.
Well, given that we know about regression to the mean and the mean is falling rapidly (the flynn effect is in reverse) then that won't work. Average IQ has been falling by approximately 1.5 points per decade, measurably over the past 100 years, perhaps since 1850. If you look this up you'll find Google telling you the opposite, but it's not true. Given this trend you'd expect the average IQ in England to be around 85 in the next 100 years. Given immigration from the middle east and Africa, we can expect this date to arrive much sooner. Now tell me, what is the probability that you find a person with an IQ of 140+ (the rough boundary of genuis) in a country such as Trinidad where the average iq is in fact 85? Your theory purports that if we just let more low iq people fill the world and lower average iqs well get more genuises despite the fact that that the probability of genuis falls faster than populations grow. Farcical.

Also, he was born in 1643 for goodness sake. He was born under completely natural conditions. What, because he was born in a house and not outside its not natural? Don't be ridiculous. Even despite being premature by 3 months he survived without midwifery, vaccination, nutrient fortification in childhood, or any of the other survival enhancing things that modernity has afforded us. You must remember that during such a time surviving prematurity was unusual and among healthy children it was not known whether a child would survive (with a reasonable degree of certainty) up until the age of around 5. He survived past both landmarks under natural conditions.

You're just showing that you didn't read my response by telling me something that I've just told you. Prematurity can't be used as a sign of genetic weakness in Newton as we don't know the cause in his case. It can happen (and often does happen) for environmental reasons. Such as the mother exerting herself, feeling overly stressed, falling ill, etc. The fact that he survived such severe prematurity is perhaps evidence of genetic strength. Da vinci, edison, Einstein, napoleon, Darwin, etc all premature.

Yes, for a functional static society. If you want advancement you need genuises. The top 5% of any given population, in terms of intelligence, are more important than the rest. There wouldn't be an systems to maintain without them and you'd get nowhere. The US army won't accept you if your IQ is below 73 and they want anyone they can get so that's saying something. They set this limit because they say that people below that level can't follow instructions and be taught to do things. Basic system maintainance can be performed by people above this number and average iq people but like I said, you'll get no new systems.

It makes more sense when you investigate the role of the what one could call the spirit world and demons. Notably how every collapse seems associated with a rise in gender ambiguity, debt and infanticide. But even though they are real it might be too /x/ for here.

>a rise in gender ambiguity, debt and infanticide.
I would guess that this is due to people alive under such conditions being mostly unhealthy genetic detritus who should not have survived past infancy, under Darwinian conditions, and are thusly unnatural abominations who behave as such.

A while back I came across this old British history book it was refarded as the standard until modern history took off.
>Cambria triumphans, or Brittain in its perfect lustre shewing the origen and antiquity of that illustrious nation. The succession of their kings and princes, etc
by Percy Enderbie and Dedicated to King Charles the 1st

very much worth a glance over if you have an interested in it.

Could be part of it but freemasons and other satanic groups are basically gnostic tranny cults obsessed with sacrifice and gender ambiguousness. so the whole thing could be a complex feed back loop

As a population grows the average relatedness of its members inevitably declines, this might be part of the cause of decline. especially if the higher iq groups feel more inclined to match with higher iq groups froup other populations than the population that produced them creating loyalty conflicts and dysgenic mixing.

It wasn't excessive intelligence that made Britain misgoverned.

Quiet simply Britain got lucky in that it had a moat around it to protect it from europe and then had all of europe and the mediterranean sea to shield it from africa and the muslims and then it had all of russia to shield europe (a shield for a shield=double protection) to shield it from the mongols and all these peoples from central asia.
Imagine how fucked a place like Iran gets to be in comparison. Cant catch a break.
Brit wars are when one of their boats gets sunk. They started their serious decay around the time flying got going so they could be bombed in modest amounts. All of their enemies can easily navigate to britain on motor boats or jet planes. Their natural defense is fucked.
Brits had 1000 years of peace to develop, all of their wars in british soil were tiny and had no effect on the development. Like some king would lose his throne so his cousin becomes the new king.

Britain had the advantage that no neighbour could just march an army into the middle of the coivilisation.

No, most inventions tend to be the sort of thing you'd look at and think "someone invented THAT ?".

Actual technological innovations like the steam engine, turbo-reactor, photo camera, nuclear bomb etc are quite rare. If you consider the Volkswagen Beetle and Mercedes Benz 770 to be different inventions you are counting it wrong.

The Normans who conquered England in 1066 might have had Ashkenazi-tier intelligence.

> How did they do this? My impression is that the method seems to have been by superior organization supported by superior technology - especially technology in relation to what might be termed engineering or architecture.

> It seems, as a rule, a small minority can only successfully dominate a majority by superior technology; and superior technology implies superior intelligence.

> My understanding is that once the Normans had defeated the Anglo-Saxons natives in one locality, they would force the natives to build a castle; from which the minority of Normans could then dominate the surrounding population from a position of safety; then the military force would move on to subdue the next region, and force these new natives to build the castles which would then become the instruments of their own suppression.

> Thereby, local and piecemeal superiority was swiftly converted to national and overall superiority. Once a network of castles were dotted over the whole of England, then the Normans could not be defeated.

> In a nutshell, it looks to me as if the Normans were simply more intelligent than the Anglo Saxons - and not a little, but a lot more intelligent.

> Presumably at least one standard deviation more intelligent than the Native English (i.e. if the native IQ was called 100, the Normans must have had an IQ of 115 or more).

> (One SD seems to be the usual (minimum) difference which allows one group to rule another - whether the difference is between classes, castes or races.)

> And I am not sure, but I think that Norman cultural achievements are also at least consistent with higher intelligence than the native Anglo-Saxons.

False, there are other methods such as superior organizing or the use of immoral behavior such as reading other people's letters, and doing all kinds of things that your competition doesnt do due to taboo, fear or laziness. It isnt only about technology

No, it implies having a different culture, different social circumstances. It can overlap with a higher IQ but that isnt necessary. I know you want to force a narrative but you need to prove all these assertions you are saying like they are obvious.
Basically, a group of people can be either organized or disorganized regardless of their IQ. Technology isnt just whatever technology you can make since you can also get technology through trade

i intuitively like this hypothesis. a good historical example would be trans-national intermarriages between royal houses in europe. nowadays it seems the uppercrust is also drawing from non-european pools trying to breed themselves into hyper-vigor super-mulattos. the odd thing is though that nowadays is the forced mixing of the common folk which provides the root genetic pool. it seems, as you say in your post, that the high iq elite has grown so distant from the local people that they want to mix them into brown retards ruled by brown nobles. the future is ancient egypt it seems.

Like hundreds of factors besides IQ. IQ isnt even correlated with organization, in fact organization correlates on NPC frequency in a population, blind faith in leaders, fear of independence and gullibility.

Very little, compared to continental europe and almost nothing compared to eurasia as a whole, and what little happened was as follows:
ONE big invasion by Rome 2000 years ago.
One war with normandy that ended after exactly one battle (Hastings), with no consequences for the population as a whole (just a change of king). That was 1000 years ago.
A few fishing villages were culturally enriched, which was of no importance to the country as a whole.
This is the total compendium of british military suffering in the past 2000 years. As you can see, it was pretty much continuous peace after the roman invasion. The normandy invasion was no more destructive than common internal british scuffles.
Every other british war was outside of England, mostly in France or attacking the other british kingdoms like Scotland.
