So What About IQ?

So What About IQ?

IQ is both more simple and more complex than would appear. First of all the measurement of IQ depends on literacy and numeracy. Without those two you can’t be tested.

Secondly your test must be culturally based. A test suitable for US Whites would be incomprehensible to Negroes or Chinese and vice versa. If tests are culturally sensitive the scores might not be meaningful. It would be apples and oranges in comparison. Obviously a test for a culture can be compared to obtain high or lower scores. Thus the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese are said to have the world’s highest average IQ. But there is no universal test that can be fair for all cultures. So, we are asked to believe that a billion and a half of historically low achievers have an average IQ of 106.

There is nothing to demonstrate that the Chinese, Koreans and Japanese have ever historically performed to a high IQ standard.

Thirdly, a problem involves the nature of the various Homo Sapiens species. Homo Africanus as a species is composed of several races. All Africans are not equal. For instance the Bantu consider the Bushmen to be stupid. Culturally within Africanus the Yoruba of middle Nigeria are quite different from the Kenyan Kikiyu. Any IQ test has to be specific for each of those two very different cultures.

Now, it is said that the range of IQ in species other than the White are within a relatively narrow range while the White varies wildly between a functional 85 and a high of 160 or perhaps above.

If the two Africanus species, Bantu and Bushmen, differ enough in intelligence as races it would seem logical to conclude that Whites are one species but they comprise two or three races within their species to account for the wide variance. I mean, evolution leaves its traces. The earliest evolved Whites, ostensibly from Africanus, have, perhaps, an average IQ of about 85, while a second more highly evolved ’race’ is somewhere between say 100-130 and a third ‘race’ even more highly evolved, above 130, thus accounting for the wide apparent variance among Whites.

After all evolution advances in small increments and not large jumps.

The idea of separate Homo Sapiens species containing distinct ‘races’ runs counter to the ‘all men are created equal’ ideology that prevails so it is denounced and rejected by the prevailing ideology.

Yet scientific research indicates the evolution to be true. That it is true can be confirmed by the fact that those researchers who have determined further evolution to be true have been silenced. Yes, shut up. You don’t silence crackpot notions you ridicule them. The conclusion then is obvious. Intelligence differences are real both special and racial within the species.

The only question is what to do. Squash the facts for ideological reasons or let the chips fall where they may?

Infinite Knowledge And The Finite Mind

Infinite Knowledge And The Finite Mind

The world is fast approaching a very perilous situation. It is not a question of human perfidy but the unavoidable consequence of the accumulation of knowledge. While accumulated knowledge is growing exponentially the human mind is diminishing in capacity compounded by a concentration on the wrong things.

The ability to organize and manage the exploding quantity of knowledge exceeds the ability of the human mind to synthesize. The fraction of knowledge the ablest, the most capacious human minds can absorb is miniscule. The problem is compounded by our very inadequate educational system based on favoritism rather than merit. The level of the best is inexorably drawn down.

The problem of barely educating the most intelligent and mentally capable percentage of the population that amounts to no more than fifteen percent of the total within a reasonable time, say 30 years of age, is made difficult to impossible by the basic needs of the individual- maturation, sex, indolence, hazards such as drugs and alochol, mental fixations and illnesses and what have you.

As at least a full fifty percent of the population can be written off as totally incapable of abstract thinking, the remaining thirty-five percent is barely educable and trainable for ordinary tasks.

Even the most intelligent can be educated to only one discipline or a sub-set of a discipline. To be expert, for instance, in the study of proteins is to unfit the individual for most other technical or cultural subjects. Of course in becoming expert in one field does give one an operating method that can be used to transfer to or include another discipline but the effort takes time and dilutes the knowledge of both or more fields. The nature of memory is that it fades if not constantly used. This is unavoidable.

Human nature and envy being what it is the odds are that the most capable may not do well in the social battle while the much less capable are cunning at manipulating others to obtain their ends. Hence we have a politically able but intellectual dimwit serving as President of the United States, as well as, one might add, most other heads of State. They act from ideology rather than circumstances. It would appear that one of the least capable mentalities serving as head of State in North Korea is quite capable of bringing down the whole of civilization from its present precarious state.

There appears to be no solution to this problem. It is merely a bottleneck that the human race will not be able to pass through.

Bozos rule the world and will continue to do so. Hence, enjoy it while you can; it can’t matter. It has just gotten too complex for the human mind to manage.
