Just the ability to maximise its use
are you sure about that?
Well of course it doesn't change a 100 IQ is fixed to the avrage
Completely, unless you want to go back to pre-human beings
how about pre-history? in our evolutionary development, surely our G factor increased from our ape-like ancestors
as soon as we became "human," we all stopped?
what of the difference in IQ after the divergence of the races?
different environments caused a divergence of development in human beings
it would be surprising if everyone's IQ ended up being the same through their long period of separated development
Oh there's probably divergence
different environments resulted in different challenges to survival and different optimal social orders
but not enough to matter
resulting in different cultures
IQ is best considered on an individual basis really
does anyone have data on racial iq diffrences over time?
I disagree. Groups behave a bit more deterministically based on IQ
over recent history, maybe
Well let me ask you a question
look up the Flynn effect
Is IQ all that matters to a society's direction and decisions?
no, I think personality is a factor as well
as well as a host of other things, like the historical narrative and philosophy which may form the basis of those decisions
however those two not necessarily independent of those traits
Yeah so they are factors
But how big a factor?
well, for example, Asians have higher IQ than Caucasians, but they are likely more collectivist due to a personality difference
because I'm pretty sure that the existing environment (society, economy, local land's resources) are bigger
well... the existing the environment was developed to a great extent by the people that live in it
that's a unique aspect of humans, we affect our own environment
to such a degree that it affects our evolutionary direction
what about the fact the communism is wide spread in Asia while orginating from eroupe.
it did not originate from Europeans.
It did
marxs?
but that's a side point
Marx was Jewish
wew
lad
but did the jews not inhrate a lot of europen genes by being there for a longtime.
The Ashkenazi Jews kept to themselves mostly
