Hispanic 85

but we don't take elite subsamples for most

yes

70 means like 50% of them are retarded

African American 76

from european standards

I heard african american was 85

mostly due to admixture

Europeans 100

I think diminishing returns hit though

Asian 105

and a 5 point difference isn't big

definitely nowhere near 85 vs 100

so that 5 point difference between E Asians and Whites is more negligible due to the diminishing returns than the 95 vs 100

The jungle doesn’t build intellectuals

It can however, build amazing survivalists

Which helped in Africa

Even Scandinavian hunter gatherer/farming would build intellectual folks because it requires long term planning and critical thinking to assess uses of limited resources

But there is intelligence that doesn't show up in IQ

European stable climate allowed for flourishing intellectualism

Same with Asian

for instance inuits are very good at remembering where to go and have different enlarged parts of their brain

but that's not tested by IQ nor really by the modern economy

Polynesians are better at breathing under water

I don't really think we should on an individual level assess people at their work place based on IQ, but for migrant groups we definitely should because the US Gov refuses to only take elite subsamples

Europeans/Asians will always be at an advantage in a modern, western society

like if we took the top 5% of mexicans this would not be an issue, but illegals are basically the bottom 20%

Europeans/Asians will always be at an advantage in a modern, western society

Because of high iq

Which is necessary

For western societies today

Most people misconstrue any argument for wanting high IQ to saying high IQ is the end all be all

Whites couldn’t survive in the African jungle

It's similar to stuff like bodybuilding

you have a genetic muscular potential

Vice Versa with Europe

but of course since no one works out

if you try hard you can be better than 95% of men probably

Obesity was only recorded in the 1870’s

Because people had agrarian jobs

and the economy functions off IQ primarily
