are you young @Tri-tip ?

2020-03-05 03:28:44 UTC  

He's most likely Latino

2020-03-05 03:28:54 UTC  

Judging by character

2020-03-05 03:28:59 UTC  

I'm middle-eastern

2020-03-05 03:29:03 UTC  

Close

2020-03-05 03:29:06 UTC  

and strongly conservative

2020-03-05 03:29:20 UTC  

I dont believe in completely shutting down border though

2020-03-05 03:29:26 UTC  

just highly restricting it

2020-03-05 03:30:13 UTC  

so i guess we can all agree with what captain said a minute ago then yeah?

2020-03-05 03:30:23 UTC  

"I'd be 100% ok with people coming in if they wanted agrarian nationalism and liberty with an iq above 105"

2020-03-05 03:30:29 UTC  

iq about 105?

2020-03-05 03:30:39 UTC  

iq is not equal to overall intelligence

2020-03-05 03:30:43 UTC  

instead, your logic

2020-03-05 03:31:09 UTC  

IQ selects for G which is intelligence correlated across all aspects

2020-03-05 03:31:23 UTC  

IQ tests specifically for overall intelligence

2020-03-05 03:31:48 UTC  

And it does so accurately or else it would not predict life success

2020-03-05 03:31:57 UTC  

Which it also does accurately

2020-03-05 03:32:19 UTC  

IQ is a pretty good measure of someone's ability to reason about "if this happens, then that happens"

2020-03-05 03:32:36 UTC  

It's much more than that but sure

2020-03-05 03:32:38 UTC  

the ability to assimilate information and use it to improve life

2020-03-05 03:32:45 UTC  

Yes generally

2020-03-05 03:32:47 UTC  

is really all we can ask for

2020-03-05 03:33:01 UTC  

so, yes we want it to be above average

2020-03-05 03:33:05 UTC  

i.e., 105

2020-03-05 03:33:17 UTC  

although i would consider that to be too low tbh

2020-03-05 03:33:31 UTC  

That'd be bare minimum

2020-03-05 03:33:40 UTC  

Provided excellence in other areas

2020-03-05 03:33:53 UTC  

there are many many people who can make much contributions to the US without having high iq

2020-03-05 03:34:00 UTC  

Name one

2020-03-05 03:34:25 UTC  

the problem is that, yes, they can contribute

2020-03-05 03:34:38 UTC  

but will their net effect be positive or negative

2020-03-05 03:35:08 UTC  

The aggregate of a population that lowers it's IQ through immigration will be lower

2020-03-05 03:35:10 UTC  

@Tri-tip 105 or even 110 isn't high IQ

2020-03-05 03:35:15 UTC  

Which means less geniuses

2020-03-05 03:35:41 UTC  

look

2020-03-05 03:35:47 UTC  

all stereotypes aside

2020-03-05 03:35:51 UTC  

all I'm saying is that

2020-03-05 03:35:55 UTC  

if you meet the requirements

2020-03-05 03:35:55 UTC  

Additionally it seems in various studies that proximity with unlike groups lowers both productivity and inventiveness

2020-03-05 03:36:00 UTC  

you should be able to immigrate

2020-03-05 03:36:06 UTC  

Imo the USA should only accept immigrants who are likely to give more than they take
