Personal Bias: Anger at denial of truth.

Verhagen (1956) gave Raven’s Progressive Matrices (a non-verbal, multiple-choice test of abstract reasoning) to 67 adults, and obtained a mean IQ of 64.

Laroche (1959) gave the RPM to 222 children, ages 10–15; mean IQ, 68.

Boivin and Giordani (1993) gave the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (designed to be culturally unbiased) to 47 children, age 8; mean IQ, 62.

Boivin et al. (1995) gave the K-ABC to 95 children, ages 7–12; mean IQ, 68.

Giordani et al. (1996) gave the K-ABC to 130 children, ages 7–9; mean IQ, 65.

Congolese IQ remains the same whether they are under Colonial Rule or not.

As for socioeconomic background, the poorest whites still do better than the richest blacks on the SAT. Yes, tell me all about how a standardized test for all somehow disadvantages all blacks who score low, I dare you to bring that SJW bullshit here.

Also, comparing a toxin to an economic background makes a false equivalency.

Is it really that hard to believe we evolved in different scenarios thus only got what we needed to survive? People in most tropical paradises don't have much of a high IQ because they didn't need to. Climb a tree to get fruit and you'll stay alive, that will be there all year round. People who live in northern euro and cold places needed to find out when winter is coming and going, farming for resources, preservation of resources, harder survival, harsher elements, means of travel, etc.

I'm not going to argue with you, because it's obvious your entire understanding of this is based around wikipedia, and googling "gotcha" responses, when this is a lot more complicated and research has evolved since then.

Subsequent studies have been done that have corrected for the data. I suggest you look into the research by Richard Hornstein and the late JP Rushton, who along with Richard Lynn, has corrected many of the factors and controls that may have led to such issues.

The results aren't much different.. Buy the book (or pirate it if you're really that ideological about this) and get back to me. I look forward to having a meaningful discussion with you once you're educated about the topic.

>I know you want to say that non-white

Funny, wasn't aware that Japan, Singapore, etc. were White nations.

>I am so fucking hungover dude and now I gotta read your wall of text bullshit at fucking 2 in the morning. Whiny cunt.

Nice start, 15 lines ain't a wall, only for you hominoidea.

>Ok, assuming your assertion is accurate and backed up (Race Realism tires me greatly),why does that literally matter for anything? At all?

It matters about virtually everything, as for wealth/education levels to criminality/birth out of wedlock, intelligence is a great predictor, which seems you don't have much. For pisa and timss for example the correlation is around 0.8.

A little bit of Harris

>'THESE ANIMALS ARE GONNA BREED AND WE GOTTA LEAVE THEM IN FILTH' That is what you said, dude. In fact, I would respect you more if you just came out and said it, or retracted your prior statement, not become a whiny cunt when someone treats you at the same level as your (repugnant) statements.

First world people aren't responsible for the chaos and irresponsibility by african adults. Africa had 200 million people at the start of 1900, now it's 1.216 billion and it's still sky rocketing. They need to become self-sustainable without european aid.

>That statement pisses me off, I've seen it kicked around ad nauseum, as if when people say that 'all men are born equal', they're like 'WELL ASCHTUALLY, WE ARE BIOLOGICALLY DIFFERENTTT'. No fuckwad, that's not what such a sentiment means. It means that, regardless, everybody should be treated with a baseline of respect and dignity. No more, no less.

Never said people needed to lose their natural rights, aid isn't a natural right.

>GUESS FUCKING WHY? IT AIN'T BECAUSE THEY'RE 'THE SUPERIOR INTELLECTUAL RACE', IT'S BECAUSE THOSE ARE FIRST WORLD CIVILIZATIONS WHO DON'T SHIT IN A TROUGH. That is why people get frustrated with you as an individual, because you're dense. Abjectly dense.

You need a smart population to maintain good institutions and have professions, which requires higher cognitive abilities.

>Refer to the above. But regardless, keeping them in poor conditions won't stop any suffering. I abjectly fail to see your amazing solution to this issue. 'IF WE KEEP THEM IN POVERTY, THEY'LL JUST DIE OUT OR SOMETHING'. Nope, they'll just continued to be impoverished and continue to have more dying kids. Good job.

Lack in food supply would force african parents to considerate their number of children and their capability to feed them, like any adult needs. Also, there is no duty to send aid and most of the aid is stolen by the african elite.

>Stop spreading bullshit. Abject bullshit.

The demographics of Africa only exploded because of european technology and aid, if that stabilises is another story, regardles, there is no duty to give aid.

>GUESS FUCKING WHY? IT AIN'T BECAUSE THEY'RE 'THE SUPERIOR INTELLECTUAL RACE', IT'S BECAUSE THOSE ARE FIRST WORLD CIVILIZATIONS WHO DON'T SHIT IN A TROUGH. That is why people get frustrated with you as an individual, because you're dense. Abjectly dense.

They have higher intelligence and intelligent people tend to have less children and invest more on them.

>I dislike your assertion that, because I share an ideology, we are somehow comparable. Or I should have 'x, y and z' beliefs. Eat a dick.

Because antinatalists rely on human nature and evolution to support their claims, but there will be always people like you in any political spectrum.

> And by the way, talking about their IQ is just proving a point about yourself.

That is? fact is the average intelligence is much less in the countries most of them originate from... They're in line or lower than most of our lower-class, and they're usually not a benefit to our country either.

We have a huge Moroccan population that has a genetic disadvantage, due to inbreeding mostly... They're close to what we call mentally challenged, but because there are so many of them we treat them like they're like the average person.

Just google a bit or read this

> They DON'T want to be treated like children,

Not saying they do, but they are like children... Like you said you need to demand a lot from them, but that's not in line with their expectations or will. And because they're not children this might prove hard to implement.

u/togepriii · -1 pointsr/todayilearned

I did, and there are studies to prove it. Take the book IQ and Global Inequality. Their study noticed a clear difference in adopted kids. Kids from African countries who got adopted by white American families had an IQ similar to that of the average in their country of origin. On the other hand, Korean kids (Mongoloids) score higher. A clear signal that the differences have a genetic basis.

I did not know about this German study and I'm not 100% sure a difference does indeed exist, but it's not outlandish to think so. I do, at the very least, consider it.
