That is why I want meritocracy - because I don't care WHY you are what you are. I only care WHAT you are.

My theory is that because Africa had a very low population density, they never had the chance of a development like the Asians and Europeans. Because both came from rather densely populated regions.

between 85-110

Maybe. And i find it interesting to speculate about the reasons, but no matter what reason we find, it can only help us, not hurt us, as long as we treat each other as individuals.

@Undead Mockingbird I'm not arguing a meritocracy

But I am.

yeah that must be easy

WHich is why it's irrelevant WHY a culture has a certain IQ.

considering no one fucking disagrees with oyu

Maybe there is a connection. Maybe not.

Yeah but it was never about that @Undead Mockingbird

Nobody has to be afraid about the reasons as long as we treat peopel as individuals.

@DanteMenace so by your definition over half of black are under "normal" IQ

You joined and made it about that

And started to argue in favor of jasse

So if white poeple have a black upbring where does that put them?

@Jasse

```WHich is why it's irrelevant WHY a culture has a certain IQ.```
Well, for the scientists and people like that its very interesting. But you've got a point, for normal people, the why is irrelevant, it only is of interest how it is.

Who was saying all blacks are stupid becuase they are black, based on IQ shit

http://copybuzz.com/copyright/of-hypocrisy-and-democracy/ good article about Art11,Art13 and lobbying.

I guess.

`DanteMenace: So if white poeple have a black upbring where does that put them?`
elborate what you mean by this?

Huh?

Nobody said that.

If a white child has a shit up bringing, where should his IQ fall.

The IQ of "my ethnicity" is lower than that of Asians. Am I calling myself dumb?

about 20 points lower right?

No.

of the standard 100?

@Cody stop stawmanning me.
its daam bellcurve

The most that has been found was an impact of 10 points in twin studies.

This isn't a straw man

Malnutrition can cause a deficit of up to 15 points.

Twin studies? how many twins.

@DanteMenace you clearly dont understand how IQ works.
100IQ is always average.

how much of IQ is based on a good nights sleep

A few hundred pairs, AFAIK.

IQ is based on star alignment

Variance fit with it being about 80% genetic.

No huge outliers.
