could it perhaps be that civilizations that embrace meritocracy do the best?

Implying implications

did i said that all blacks have the same IQ i have? nope, i'm just saying that it isn't that uncommon, plus, individuals with 120+ are rare, independent of their races

has it occurred to anyone that the cultural construct that is 'blackness' in the US which totally rejects meritocracy as 'being white' could perhaps contribute to the IQ deficit?

@radeon Why would meritocracy be more prevalent in Caucasian countries than in Negroid countries? The Chinese do not live in a meritocracy, yet their average IQ is higher than that of white countries.

the Japanese do

so do the jews

and there are plenty of white cultures that aren't meritocratic

Right, cultural factors

That doesn't make racial differences go away

You just made the claim that meritocracy results in a higher average IQ, and since the Chinese live in a strictly collectivist system, your hypothesis can be deemed to be false

they don't though

they don't

They are far more collectivist culturally

i don't know how much you know about modern china but they are capitalism in a pseudo-communist framework

they don't value hard work as much as they value the quantity of work

China is more capitalist than America in fact

Also, the vast majority of African countries live in a capitalist system, so the idea that meritocracy could have effected the IQ within a few centuries to such an extent is just ridiculous, especially when you consider the brain volume differences within the races, as well as genetic variations

At least that's what i hear

they build apartment complexes that house nobody simply to support a housing bubble

same with the chinese really. Poor work ethics, and poor overall efficiency, but a LOT of work hours makes up for it.

sorry Japanese*

yea im sure zimbabwe is a real ancap paradise my dude

Meritocracy is more than just capitalism

Meritocracy does not result in a higher average IQ, unless you can point me to a study which proves such a claim

did you just skip the chapter of history class where the ANC took ideoligcal contro lof southern africa with backing by the soviet union?

We're considering complex factors. Don't demand a study for such an abstract idea

you're trying to shift the burden of proof.

you came to us.

There are many perfectly reasonable explanations to IQ variations, that can be proved by looking at genetics and differing evolutionary pressures on populations living in different environments.

Then we need more race mixing

Lol why?

@franti To lower the IQ of whites and Asians? That's stupid

what is your alternative?

heh, franti, there was an end blurb of a news report here about IQ ceilings being reached, that suggested we go out and find us an East Asian mate

don't come to us spouting shit about blacks being inferior and then act coy when it comes to policy.

Going back to Africans nations being captialist

To not forcefully mix races and let individuals choose for themselves who they want to reproduce with? @radeon

whos forcing races to mix?
