There is a misapprehension about IQ . It is a number we have invented.
“Intelligence” is only the ability to think. No particular direction. We try to do a broad spread of things to define such an ability to get a number. What one thinks about is not the question. some people are just more able to think about any or many things than are others. We then try to give this a grading of how it compares with say 100 other people.
Forgetting the stereotypical numbers, someone who is able to think about something “better” than someone else, will usually be more intelligent, and certainly within a given environment. The statistics show that, that person in general, will “think” better than many others, about anything. Because it is not about the subject matter it is about the ability to think.
Gr
Interesting article if a bit long. Could’ve been condensed more while still getting the same points across. Still, there are some issues I’ve spotted, some of which are more general in nature so they shouldn’t be taken too personally
1. I’ve never really understood why Asians are split up into sub-categories while whites are not. East-Asians, despite being far more numerous, have a much smaller gene pool. Whites are a much broader group and when you divide them up just like you and others seem to do with Asians, you would see a much wider distribution of IQ, with (people of) North-Western European descent having the highest, followed by those South European descent, followed by those of Eastern European descent, with some outliers here and abnormalities there. When you do not divide Asians, Whites would outperform Asians on pretty much all counts.
2. The East-Asian bell curve is taller, but narrower, meaning there are fewer outliers on both ends of the spectrum. Whites for a long time have followed a ‘genius strategy’ whereby they tend to outbreed more, and produce more geniuses as a result. You mention in your article the father of OLED, but OLED seems like a relatively minor invention compared to say the invention of the ballistic missile or the steam engine. Asians seem to improve already existing technology, but do not seem to be inventing much new stuff on their own.
3. Intelligence in the West has been in decline ever since the industrial revolution. That event marked the end of the Darwinian selection for intelligence. The welfare state allows mutations to survive and significantly increases the reproductive success of stupid people. Also, intelligent people are more likely to benefit from contraception (higher intelligence is associated with higher impulse control, meaning fewer unwanted babies) In an era of feminism and mass-immigration, we can expect intelligence to decline at an even faster pace. Whites used to be far more intelligent, if we could test an average white person from the British Empire two-hundred years ago, we would probably find that he had an average IQ in the range of 110-120. This decline will certainly affect China, Korea and Japan as well. That is, unless they implement an eugenics program in some form, which I believe is something the West absolutely requires in order to prevent a future intelligence crisis.
4. Being a genius could have something to do with having stunted development, for example as a result of being born too early. Isaac Newton is the most notable example of this. One theory put forward by Edward Dutton states that as a result of being born too early, certain parts of Newtons brain developed more than others, resulting in him being an absolute genius in one area while being an absolute retard in others. This could be a trend among geniuses: They tend to be autistic, they tend to have little to no reproductive success, and they tend to excel in certain areas while being poor in others. Even though under normal circumstances an above-average IQ in spatial ability probably means you have an above-average IQ in verbal ability as well. But having suffered stunted development as a child, it could form an exception to the rule.
As of now, “verbal IQ” is not an IQ measurement at all (or “r”) because it heavily depends on the vocabulary size. IQ measurements should drop every other non-raw-IQ crutch to zero, if possible, but here we have a learned vocabulary size tainting results ta a degree that’s, frankly, obscene.
So we get a bookworm or an SJW gerbil outperforming math/engineering/physics/IT geniuses purely on account of knowing what “mansplaining” means.
LOL
Ha!, the math/verbal split skewing verbal for the author.
And it doesn't need to. As Kacynzski noted, we rapidly moving to outsource our thinking away from us. So the thinkmeats in our heads probably won't matter all that much anymore soon enough.
For one thing, AI is not that far away to replace humans.
Whether it needs to or not is not the question. AI communicates at the speed of light. Humans at the speed of sound.
Anyone who writes
Please continue to write for we verbally cognitively advanced…
is retarded not “advanced”.
it’s that abstract thought — gets ’em every time.
Taught special ed for many years. Though it sometimes went down to 55-60 or up if there were other probs,t just about every one of my kids were in this group. They’re completely overestimated by sight alone. Yes, socially, they appear like everyone else — socially , unless you’re down around 70 or less, you can tell no difference.
We used behaviorism, which works well, The way current schools do it does not work at all with these kids. A VP said about our system (top group, middle, bottom, with team names and differing privileges) “Don’t they find it awfully childish?” (This was HS). We had to explain — these kids are at the level, emotionally and mentally, of elementary school — a bell curve from the lowest working on addition and learning to read, the highest beginning percentages/fractions, with emotions to match. They loved the system and were very proud to be “First Class” and trusted to run errands without goofing off, etc.
One of the first things we learned in prep for this was that you cannot tell by looking. “Retarded” — mild-to-moderate is often used — kids do not drool! They’re serving your fast food, bagging your groceries — we had a hard-working, good kid who ended up managing a restaurant.
BUT–there were lawsuits about “too many black kids” in sped. Can you imagine what immigration is doing? Yeah, the classes are full of them (when the schools aren’t dumb enough to “mainstream” them; they need special curriculum and environment) Soon we’ll hear stories about “too many immigrant kids” in sped ….. watch for it.
What about Alaska?
Wrong. And you know it:
you choose W virginia because it was the only predominately white state with a lower rating than hawaii. New Mexico, louisiana, Missippippi, and the others in the 40s all have a high percentage of non whites. The states with the highest education ratings are the upper midwest, haole to the MAX.
I never dreamed that Alaskan children had low test scores. I thought they were uber white.
The IAB brain data makes very clear you are wrong about that.
these students are indeed representative samples of the people back home
Presenting data which refutes his point equals being a Troll in Okechukwu speak. Got it. Given that, it is quite sad how often he feels the need to troll flag comments.
Blacks have longer limbs. Northern Europeans more compact to keep body heat in during winter. This is blacks main advantage in hoops.
Einstein was a plagiarist whose most important moment was letting his hatred of Germans goad him into pushing for atomic weapons. The world should never be thankful for such a malicious lying cheating thieving clown.
We have testimonials from the more worldly Unz denizens who say, unequivocally, that these students are indeed representative samples of the people back home. Perhaps if you left your trailer park and did a little traveling you would confirm that.
Overseas students are hardly representative samples of the population “back home”.

For example, here are the rates of Nigerian emigration by educational category for 2010.
Total Low Medium High
0.61% 0.11% 0.56% 12.04%
So the most educated group emigrates at 100x the rate of the least educated group.
For comparison, here are the total numbers in each category for male Nigerian immigrants in the US.
Total Low Medium High
91361 1786 9632 79943
So much for being representative. I have gone over this with you before in discussions of selective immigration in Chanda Chisala’s blog, so I have to assume you are simply lying here.
P.S. Being charitable to those “worldly Unz denizens” (and who exactly do you mean?) I assume they spend most of their time around the elites of those countries.
They somehow measure GDP for every country – despite GDP being a fake number. A McDonalds hamburger in Switzerland costs 4 times that of an identical one in Russia. Also, if you cook your own at home, it adds almost nothing to GDP.

Surely they can measure IQ and publish it yearly. That would quickly put an end to the notion that these friendly Africans invading Europe will replace the dying-off real Frogs and Krauts.
BTW, I noticed that in Ukraine lots of women have opted for one child. I guess that is their way of saving the Slavic race. If things eventually turn around, they can increase that to 3+ kids per woman and all will not be lost. A sort of insurance policy.

Stupid comment. Third World countries send their “best and brightest” to the West, so they can learn (steal?) our hard-won knowledge. Overseas students are hardly representative samples of the population “back home”.
Funny, though, how well global IQ distributions correlate with “real world” levels of cognitive accomplishment, isn’t it?

“This junk is a dead end.”
You’re right, you can’t fix stupid. It’s just white people dealing with their own failed attempts at altruistic idealism, primarily seeking to impose the anti-nature concept of egalitarianism, in a bubble. Northeastern Asians are the superior race of he future, not Europeans, and they will rule the world in the next century.
“There has never been any group, race or ethnicity anywhere on the planet that has bought into the propaganda that they were inferior. Even if they were living in shacks and you flew over on an airplane, they would simply say, “that’s interesting.””
Yep, you don’t know what you don’t know and you can’t understand what you can’t understand.
“This unending desire for supremacy and to relegate other people into inferior classes does nothing but create endless resentment and conflict. ”
Endless resentment and conflict is the default position of the history of the human race and egotistical Europeans truly believed that they could bring this natural condition to an end simply by providing an example and framework of social organization, which took their ancestors thousands of years to create, to conquered peoples. The desire to share the benefits accorded to those whom follow the social norms that evolved into Western Civilization reveals a core naivety among those whom take for granted their higher IQs. This is likely primarily due to the psychological tendency of all to project their own abilities and traits onto others, even when it is demonstrably not the case. What you call a “desire for supremacy” is really altruistic pity stemming from frustrated do-gooders reverting to low-expectations when faced with reality.
“It has been ruinous to white western people as their belief in their own superiority and the inferiority of others has resulted in them getting their asses kicked and evicted in various wars and conflicts all over the world.”
Europeans conquered the world and then began the process of giving it back; the first time in history that ever occurred. Western Civilization (based on Christian principles of forgiveness, sharing and non-violence) is the first and will be the last dominant civilization to shun genocide in favor of egalitarian principles. This shunning of eliminating conquered peoples by European idealists is what “has resulted in them getting their asses kicked and evicted in various wars and conflicts all over the world”, not some renewed military prowess on the part of the losers.
As has been shown to be the case in South Africa, where after white people the world over shunned the white South Africans (in the name of “equality”) into voluntarily giving black South Africans political power, the recipients commenced to raping, murdering and stealing property from whites instead of adopting the social norms that had created prosperity in South African for the first time in history. The next iteration of white ethnocentrism will occur when enough whites feel cornered and lash back with less pity and empathy due to such “results”.
Unfortunately, I don’t believe that enough anti-white peoples (includes overly educated low-IQ whites brainwashed to hate themselves) have what it takes to adopt the requisite self-criticism of their ideals typical of white populations needed to stem this escalating attack on whites before forcing them into said corner. Asians will be the likely winners in the end due to their cohesive ethnocentric cultures and higher average IQs, as whites and blacks fight and weaken each other.
We whites have ALWAYS hated blacks, hatred being integral emotion, the reciprocal of love, like repulsion/attraction. We ALWAYS will hate blacks, who belong back in Africa.
...I have to admit that blacks have exhibited a strength, resourcefulness and resilience despite being constantly punched in the face.
Sending trillions of dollars for many years to those “equall” is very exceptional form of racism. Indeed. Besides many more things.
I believe in practical things and tests of any problems. Just take one home …
/I do not recomend it !!/.
This junk is a dead end. There has never been any group, race or ethnicity anywhere on the planet that has bought into the propaganda that they were inferior. Even if they were living in shacks and you flew over on an airplane, they would simply say, “that’s interesting.”
If you go to any African village and tell them that you’re smarter or superior, they’ll laugh in your face. No one buys it. They never have, they never will. Besides, if such superiority were real it would be self-evident such that it wouldn’t require constant promotion and constant references to spurious pseudoscientific “studies.”
This unending desire for supremacy and to relegate other people into inferior classes does nothing but create endless resentment and conflict. It has been ruinous to white western people as their belief in their own superiority and the inferiority of others has resulted in them getting their asses kicked and evicted in various wars and conflicts all over the world. It’s now 2019. I think it’s time to stop. People who allegedly are “more intelligent” should have figured that out a very long time ago.
I wonder how many people on this site have actually been in a classroom in a ‘real’ third or fourth world country. They probably think it’s equivalent to a public school in Detroit. It isn’t – it would make a Detroit public school look like Stuyvesant. Kids sit and fidget for 6 hours a day while a “teacher” reads a text book to them, most of which he himself probably doesn’t understand himself. Learning the alphabet and counting to 100 is pretty much all the cognitive exercise these kids will ever get.
Then some ‘researchers’ come in with a Raven matrix or something like that. It’s a joke. The idea that those kids would have the slightest idea what to do on such tests or that their brains would have had any exercise or stimulus remotely like an IQ test is laughable to anyone who knows the real conditions. And that would extend to many private schools in the third world too.
I don’t doubt there’s something to HBD. But Lynn’s ‘data’ in third world countries is not meaningful. In my own experience of a third / fourth world country, I’ve seen way too many people excel in difficult academic subjects overseas when they get out of their awful education system. How would they have scored aged 8 on a Raven matrix test?
In my experience, most “scientists” are rather simple-minded in their understanding of what “Science” is. They actually think it exists. I mean, like a pear or a dumbass exists.
Novelists, for instance, are not known for having high IQs.
Now, I know all you sophomoric fools are Asperger “STEM” worshipers (even using the acronym “STEM”–except to mock it–is a sign of idiocy), and you think novels and novelists are just dumb, lazy, goldbricking shirkers, who have the temerity to refuse to participate in the general crusade of all mankind to destroy all mankind and the world it lives in by means of (“STEM”) technology.
So you try to write a novel that anybody would want to read.
Then you’ll know where the clown hat belongs. On your own heads.
“Then of course there is the question of ability being measurable only in relation to motive and goal, and unless all individuals and groups can be said to be identical in these respects (which would curiously contradict the HBD premise that groups differ in all traits), measuring ability is problematic…the elephant in the room no one wishes to address…
Anyways this is just the tip of the iceberg…
The move towards abstract thinking and vast generalizations was historically useful for a period in time, but today, we are in a position where constructing a more intelligent approach to reality would mean a move away from the abstract and general and towards the concrete, and the loss in precision would be compensated for by a gain in richness of detail and better conformability to actual patterns in reality, and the inability to establish eternal laws and find Platonic ideas would be offset by a realistic flexibility in responding to reality.”
AaronB
I’ll add something to this wonderfully intelligent observation.
Most of the people I have met with a high IQ are kind of stupid.
Taleb thinks Lynn, and all of you who agree with him, are a bunch of sophomoric phonies, and your “statistics” a bunch of meaningless gobbledegook. And Taleb forgot more about statistics than you or Lynn ever knew.
“Statistics without probability is meaningless” Taleb.

It’s sad that such a good writer gets such a crappy editor. The overuse of HTML links in the text, the crazed – even deranged – ALL CAPS titles, it all comes across as positively lunatic. VDare has not taken off for this very reason.
Thanks for pointing out the bad link, I’ve fixed it on VDARE.com. Owing to a copy paste error, the link had an extra character after it, so while it goes to the right site, there’s no page on that site called “http://viewoniq.org/%5d.”
Sorry about that!
The View of IQ hyperlink in the blogpost does not work, but I found the site using a web search. Slight edit to hyperlink is needed.
Love Welton’s work, and this is particularly useful and fair. He doesn’t declare Lynn a god, but understand his flaws and makes his points succinctly, clearly and rigorously. No journalist in America is capable of such a fair-minded yet non-dismissive example of highthink.
Please explain to me how a test whose problems consist only of lines, dots and shadings, is biased.
Do people of certain cultures hate lines, or dots, or shadings?
In particular, Section 5 is a masterpiece in the art of reframing “liberal” objections to IQ research in a way that makes them out to be the reactionary troglodytes.
that’s the way to do it
I am not really good with links but it’s a story out of Detroit, the name of the EMT was Ann Marie Thomas. She was sentenced to three months in jail…It happened in 2015 but her trial and sentence took place in 2018…
I, personally, thought it was unfair…
Do you have a link, please?
IMO, many people at the time had already long understood that blacks are, in general dumber, and more violent. But they sort of judged it political suicide to acknowledge - probably because the many naturally egalitarian whites.But, of course, I very much doubt any of the egalitarian folks - even the elites - understood where things would lead. If they had seen modern Detroit, maybe that would have halted things. Or maybe not - it is amazing how some old people who lived in the very same neighborhoods, when they were white, in the Depression, can think there is a conspiracy to keep blacks down.The demographic transformation of cities - even ones still seen as functional is incredible. There are places that went from being 97% white in the '50s, to having less than 10% white public schoolkids today. And of course, none of this can be bottled in the cities. I travel into rural New England a lot, and it seems like I always see more black faces each time - many imported Africans. And we are talking what I would call deep country - tiny towns that had their heyday before the Civil War.
Back in the 60s when we passed various legislation in the US forcing mass integration would it have been the same legislation if we had the knowledge then that we have now? Probably not…
If you look at the behaviors of many White people, including Democrat voting ones, things like putting their kids in “good schools,” living in non-diverse areas, etc. you see evidence that on some level they know the score. But they aren’t willing to do anything about it, and often hypocritically support policies that worsen the problem. I think William Pierce got this right years ago:

Sadly no…the mother was later arrested and charged with child abuse…
Even ambulances and EMTs are afraid to enter without an armed police presence. There was recently a female EMT arrested and subsequently sentenced to jail time for refusing to enter a home with a choking child w/o the police there…
Did this child survive?
LOL… this kind of research should be given to the Hindus… They’ve been doing such things for millenniums.
It’s just a global version of the caste system. The Hindus have proven themselves very good at it too. Whitey are waaaay behind of Hindus in this field…
Maybe past Portugal was not what future Portugal ‘morphed’ into. I mean Brazil was a colony of Portugal at one time and it’s a complete mess today.
It’s like the ancient Greece city-states after centuries of Muslim invasions.
Of course, they are a complete mess today after what they went thru…
So you can’t compare these places w/o recognizing the histories and complete destruction wroth by various low IQ groups rampaging thru them…
Brazil and Greece are both strong arguments for stringent birth control.

The issue is not just the peoples in these cities/suburbs being 97% black it’s the total deterioration of the places where these transformations takes place.
It’s schools, public places such as shopping malls, transportation hubs, streets, rampart crime and disorder everywhere. Child and animals abuse, drinking drug use etc.,
It is that every single block and street becomes a crime infested war zone…
Even ambulances and EMTs are afraid to enter without an armed police presence. There was recently a female EMT arrested and subsequently sentenced to jail time for refusing to enter a home with a choking child w/o the police there…
Sadly I understand her perfectly after seeing what goes on in hospital ERs in NYC…

This all is old. IQ, blacks, “genetic engineering”,…
Essentially, we’re always projecting & don’t know what the future holds. No one has ever predicted that from a hole like Portugal European colonial expansion will begin & eventually, in next 500 years, conquer & unify the globe; no one had even thought of Industrial revolution & its consequences.
All we do is linear extrapolation off the current state of affairs & not much. And people are always motivated by quick bucks & don’t care for future, any future. For instance, to forcibly import millions of African slave workers on sugar plantations is an example of extreme idiocy. All those guys cared for was to make a huge & quick profit from spices & sugar & did not give a hoot about the idea that their very descendants’ future might be in danger because of tons of Africans they moved in to live alongside their progeny.
Simply- we don’t know: a) whether peoples, as we know them, will exist in next 150-250 years, b) whether homo sapiens sapiens, as we know him, will survive next 500+ years.We live in times of fundamental change, not only civilizational, but essentially “human” or post-human.
And, of course, we’re wasting our time on trifles….
Conversely, genetically based race differences in intelligence can be used to argue that affirmative action policies should be maintained until undesirable intelligence differences can be eliminated by genetic engineering—unless we prefer maintaining or enhancing these differences instead.
I agree with most of Meisenberg’s article, but this part confuses me a bit. I mean, sure, one could theoretically only allow the low-IQ to have access to IQ-enhancing technology (as in, embryo selection for the best IQ genes–though obviously high-IQ people could try moving to other countries to access this technology if they’re forbidden to access it in their home countries). However, while this would equalize the situation, it would also make our country and world more backwards in comparison to a scenario where everyone was allowed to have access to this technology. In such a scenario, the gaps would remain but everyone could be uplifted and wealth redistribution could ensure that the people with a lower IQ could still live better in this scenario than they would in the first scenario where everyone becomes equal (or at least all human groups become equal).
IMHO, lifting everyone is a strategy that is likely to deliver better results than attempting to equalize everyone and eliminate achievement gaps.

An alternative explanation is just that the system is starting to feel the weight of the insanity of its ideology, and so they need to ramp up repression. And since it’s not a very centralized system, this will always be an easy target, regardless of whether it’s actually useful to target it or not.
He appears to have gotten significantly deplatformed – from both his previous institution and the board of Intelligence. The pressure is being ramped up by the system, a sign that this research is starting to impact in a serious way.
AK is lucky he is able to do his stuff in a much freer (academically) country on these topics, though Russia is far from perfect, it is still eons ahead of many Western countries.
I wonder how long until they go after Rindermann.
P.S. I notice he is now with Ulster. So more core research moving to Europe. He is European, himself, after all. Appears my observation holds true.
Jewish Stalinist Eric Hobsbawm actually summarised the reasons for the Bell Curve Wars quite well;
The concept of ‘race’ illustrates this interplay. The memory of Nazi racial policies made it virtually unthinkable for liberal intellectuals (which included most scientists) to operate with this concept. Indeed, many doubted that it was legitimate even to enquire systematically into the genetically determined differences between human groups, for fear that the results might provide encouragement for racist opinions. More generally, in the Western countries the post-fascist ideology of democracy and equality revived the old debates of ‘nature v. nurture’, or heredity v. environment. Plainly the human individual was shaped both by heredity and environment, by genes and culture. Yet conservatives were only too willing to accept a society of irremovable, i.e. genetically determined inequalities, while the Left, committed to equality, naturally held that all inequalities could be removed by social action: they were at bottom environmentally determined. The controversy flared up over the question of human intelligence, which (because of its implications for selective or universal schooling) was highly political.
Oh wow 😀
He REALLY tears the Zeitgeist a new asshole!
And not a moment too soon – rather, a few too late; and in their own words to boot.

But … will they be biologically equipped to follow the reasoning?
Last I looked they were not thinking with their undersize brains, but …
Well, the high was great while it lasted.
Wow surprised I’m the only commentor on this issue…
But I’ve been thinking for a while after reading various articles on this issue here and elsewhere that people have a moral obligation to begin offering some solutions on handling this new found information. Especially now that we are getting so much stronger evidence on the side of genetic influences on people’s intelligence and thus behaviors.
Back in the 60s when we passed various legislation in the US forcing mass integration would it have been the same legislation if we had the knowledge then that we have now? Probably not…
Maybe we need to start looking at, not reparations, but some form of ongoing investment to assure a certain basic income to various members of underperforming groups after ensuring they can no longer reproduce….it seems cruel but it might be one answer…
Or another might be: separate cities, counties etc., run totally by and for that group only (under supervision of course) with no other member of other groups allowed without permission…similar to Indian reservations…which do receive government funding and other services.
Not the best ideas but a start….

Back in the 60s when we passed various legislation in the US forcing mass integration would it have been the same legislation if we had the knowledge then that we have now? Probably not…
You probably know more about Singapore than I do but I think the IMCF CMIF ratio is more explained by reluctance of CM for IF. In the West, Most NE Asian men would easily “settle” for either White or NE Asian women, if only they weren’t out competed by White men . However, in the case of Indian women, most NE Asian men would not be attracted to the average Indian women but most Indian men would find the average CF acceptable.

You judge a President or PM by the people who elected them. For example, I was in Ontario when Mike Harris was premier and nobody liked him but the more right-wing Ontario folks who wanted to reduce “social assistance” and of course his US trading partners. Poor Canadians, which was to say the whites and Jamaicans, detested him.
The same could be said of Bush. He was elected by the GOP mainstay, which is to to say those folks in the South or US interior who can be manipulated by a few photographs of some guy in cowboy hat raking leaves on ranch. When Bush stuttered and acted dim-witted, they thought “Gee, this guy understands me”.
You also have to factor in that Republicans are far less likely to be mobile or move overseas. So they really are indifferent to US standing or how other countries perceive America. Fundamentally, they vote against many of their own self interests but their core concern is taxes and gun control.
The first of course is due to their own earning power and the second is so they can defend themselves against Groid and Mestizo crime because unlike liberals they don’t live in zip codes where the police presence drives out the undesirables.

Bush could not have been elected dog catcher without his father’s oil interests propping him and the GOP vote looking for a puppet.
However, Bush was not stupid. He graduated from an Ivy League business school. As a young man he had near-crippling problems with alcohol and reputedly cocaine to the extent of needing a pardon to enter Canada. But he was hardly the “moron” that the Canadian PM aide described him as being.
It was a mistake to invade Iraq but the reality is that greed makes rational people stupid and the oil companies simply saw vast untapped potential there that overwhelmed their good sense. And indeed many private contractors made good money.
Also, Bush’s aw-shucks-none-too-articulate-average-Joe routine was somewhat intended to endear his voting demographic bloc who felt that college ejudcaded urban hippie draft dodgin liberal Democrats had ignored them for 8 years-though Clinton improved the economy and the nineties are now remembered as a golden era when anyone who could walk and talk could hold a job.
Bush was smart, had an IQ of what, 120? He had an agenda. Presidents are controlled and they are only doing as they are told
My theory about ,White people,especially, ( yes I am white) is that BIGOTRY and Feelings of SUPREMACY, are RELIGIOUSLY indoctrinated into their mind in childhood and no matter the contradicting quantity and quality of FACTS presented to them, as by the author of the article, in “adulthood” bigots will maintain their IGNORANCE and thus truly only demonstrate their own INFERIORITY !
They will always just simply BELIEVE they are right and strive to prove it with material from those with similar Bigoted mindsets….that is, people, who have a belief and strive to prove their Belief, rather than forming their Beliefs from Reason and FACTS.
They , and you, Peter, and others, it seems, confuse BELIEVING and KNOWING
What are my qualifications for my theory: 79 years of living, researching, learning and a BSc in Counseling Psych.
I am sure for you, those facts, as per my theory wont matter.

US whites 70 x 100 + US Black 10 x 85 + Hisps 20 x 90 = 9650. Average IQ 96.5

Doesn’t surprise me at all. His biggest enemy, in his own mind, are rural white Americans. This is typical of blacks, for whatever reason. I don’t happen to be rural, never lived in a trailer and was born in a middle-class suburb.
Just as the ignorant white hick assumes a Nigerian immigrant likes watermelons and KFC simply because he is black (They don’t, they like pepper soup and Fanta), the Nigerian assumes that all white Americans live in trailer parks and eat pork rinds and are unworldly.
Nigerians are hung up on this profile and, I should add, it doesn’t really apply to the British. Their real anti-white racism is saved for white Americans.

If everything came down to environment, Eskimos would be smarter than Jews.
Also, bear in mind that China and Rome and Greece are roughly the same lat (Roughly, very) so not debilitating tropical jungles or icy cold arctic tundra or barren deserts with howling sandstorms.
In this relatively moderate clime, civilization can evolve. Not just bare-bones agrarian societies but complex civilizations.
Among all the Sun People only Middle Easterners and Indians are honorable.
Indians were gradually reduced to vegetarianism which was evidence that just like us they really suffered from a lot of involution. I’m sure that they really tried their best to remain alive at any cost.
Middle Easterners battled one of the most inhospitable environments in the world. The Middle East is absurdly hot and dry. They managed to start agriculture first in this most inhospitable region which is really hard. After all my ancestors near the Yellow River did not manage to start agriculture earlier than even rice-farming SEAs who used to live near Yangtze River, let alone wheat-eating MENA guys.
Look at these tropical people:
Hell even in this situation they still have free fruits to eat.
In the past when China suffered from famines it led to people eating bark (that’s right, tree bark), kaolinite (this shit has no nutritional value. It just makes you feel less hungry..and sicker) and even cannibalism. Why? There is no free food in China. We don’t have plenty of mango trees..coconut trees..unlike these fuckers who live in humid, tropical areas.
Well I blame the Austronesians. Macau was first a leased territory and then a colony administered by Portugal (that’s right, Portuguese Macau used to pay rent to China until 1851). Portuguese and half-Portuguese can’t really control Macau today lol. If Austronesians can’t handle half-Spaniards it is their problem.
Philippines is far from Thailand, which has cultural ties to Burma.
I rather suspect the Vietnamese would replace the Chinese, whom they most culturally resemble (Not completely but to a degree).
Filipinos originated in Malaysia and have cultural ties to that country. Philippines was Muslim previous to the arrival of the Spanish and would again.
But mostly, I suspect it would break up into fiefdoms.
Economically, I think Vietnamese are second only to Chinese and would replace them in Asia.

Look at Liberia. I bet the descendants of US slaves there wish their ancestors never went back to Africa.
* is about? It is the Sejm..How can groids be allowed there?!!!!
I think a pure groid & Australoid story will be very hilarious.
Some sample:
**********
May 14th, 2047
Abuja, (nominally) Nigeria
WWIII ended 5 months ago. Within Sub-Saharan Africa due to depopulation almost everywhere else imports and exports were seriously disrupted. Nation after nation began to fragment into pieces. Darfur declared independence first in February, followed by Cabinda in April. Nigeria was still nominally a country despite the fact that militias controlled about 40% of the country till yesterday when Biafra was reestablished in Enugu.
Unlike in the 1967 war this time Biafrans decided to occupy Abuja ASAP to force Nigeria to recognize its independence. 5 transporters left the air force base at Enugu. However since GPS was no longer functional after WWIII they couldn’t locate Abuja at all. The transporters all ran out of fuel and crashed in unknown places. The Biafran Army also decided to advance on Abuja in a surprise attack. However it was basically stuck in traffic jams on the highways.
Three days later Abuja found out what happened. A furious president ordered the air force to bomb Enugu and kill rebel leaders. However it turned out that pilots couldn’t locate Enugu at all because they didn’t have GPS any more. 39 Nigerian planes eventually crashed. 6 landed in 6 different airports. Not a single bomb fell on Enugu.
A post-WWIII scenario with Vietnamese surviving will be very different from a scenario with Vietnamese dead. In the former scenario Vietnamese will take over un-nuked parts of SK, Japan and Taiwan almost over night and SEA will be basically Vietnam vs Malaysia + Indonesia + Brunei with Thais, Burmese and Filipinos joining either side. Vietnamese will actually utilize NE Asian factories and build weapons from warplanes to nukes. Then Vietnam will control all of SEA and maybe even Americas and Africa.
A post-WWIII scenario without Vietnamese will be more unpredictable. Old World Groids, New World Groids and SEA will probably become three separate worlds. The Muslim Malay world may actually dominate SEA. SSA will probably deteriorate into a lot of smaller countries. Not sure about the New World.
I predict that it would cause cannibalism.
What would happen when the whites who grow the food and extract the oil and run the US disappeared?
The black would say “MUH DICK!”
“Where DA fuel and food and sheeit be at”
LOL..uh..modern African groids actually do have a few skyscrapers and industries. Not much but still a few. This is why there will be effects.
However, Africans are used to living in mud huts. Would not affect them that much.
Assume that there are no more Chinese folks in PH simply because NE Asians disappear after WWIII due to ethnobioweapons..I wonder who are going to visit girly bars? Vietnamese? Malaysians from Sabah and Sarawak? Can Mestizos even sail to or fly to PH at all?
Your Filipino in a shanty squat who is as poor as a Chinese businessman after a nuclear winter would simply smoke some shabu. Open a girly bar for Mestizos, perhaps.
That's good. I guess it is like..Paraguay or Bolivia?
As for what happens when Hispanics take over. See East LA. It functions. It is poorer, but it functions.
You have to remember that Mestizos are responsible for many the problems of the Philippines to begin with.
Chinese-Filipinos own the businesses and pay workers too little, but the real problem is the Spanish-blooded landowning class in the Philippines.
See, the Spanish went back to Spain and left their land to the children of their local mistresses. So in effect, Spain still owns the land.
Chinese-Filipinos are not responsible for the fundamental problems in the Philippines, except for drugs. But if they did not sell drugs, some other group would.
Hell.

You might survive a Groid attack in the US because it is always just a street attack for reasons of racial animosity or impulsive self-gratification by the Groid (Lust-driven rape or a need for drug money). They’ll never find out where you live and don’t have money to track you anyhow. They’ll simply return to their porch and their crack pipe and 40 ounce.
Yakuza and Triads don’t commit crimes whites care about. It is really hard for white people to get worked up over some Chinese-American compulsive gambler who is beaten up because he borrowed money from Triads or that Chinese pensioners lose their money at Majong tables.
Even the one crime that does affect whites, importation of heroin, is really not something whites get worked up over. People who use heroin are stupid (I smoke cigarettes and that is stupid, however). And Triads are so far from the street level that it is impossible for cops to get at them.
However, if a white did cross the Triads or Yakuza his body would probably never be found. So on a certain level they are more lethal than Groids.
EAST
Gypsies originated in the Punjab about 1,000 years ago. They are South Asians. Some Indian king or another drove them out of India. Nobody knows why, exactly.
Nigerians have become a headache in Poland and spread AIDS to the local sluts and homosexuals in night clubs like they always do.
My theory about why this Nigerian and Africans in general dislike white America “rednecks” is that we are a tougher strain of European than the pale and pallid continentals of Paris or London and also they perceive us as being the whites who wield the most power and influence in global terms.
Nigerians can find a foothold in European cities, but not in America as easily. America might invade Nigeria for its oil like the rest of the world, but makes it much harder for Africans to immigrate.
The reason is that they are Groids.
EAST
Frankly, I get enough laughs out of seeing you roast the Nigerian prince. He just writes some platitude and then you respond with such a withering reply that all I can do is howl with laughter.
It is a joy to wake up and read the latest roasting you have given him.
And truthfully, I know all about the Groid. I could not get away from Simian Africanus in America as a lower middle class urban white American (If I were from a trailer park in a rural part of the US I probably would not have left the United States).
I think I will actually write a story based on the idea that WMDs used in WWIII wiped out all (or almost all) humans other than groids and Australoids (and maybe SEAs, mestizos and Negritos).
Everything became extremely chaotic after WWIII. Incapable of producing crucial machinery groids entered a period of tech decline. Militaries became increasingly incompetent. There were fewer and fewer weapons in warfare. From tanks to bombers most weapons were impossible to replace. Oil refineries gradually became unusable until no oil could be refined any more. Manufactured goods became increasingly expensive while quality kept deteriorating until the goods couldn’t be manufactured any more.
Who are going to dominate an increasingly impoverished and primitive world? Igbo merchants? Zulu warriors? Somali farmers? Ethiopian bureaucrats? Tuareg, Fulani, Hausa and other nomads?
Groids suck.
Is there a way for me to PM you? I would like to send you a funny link about groids.
Maybe you can use https://temp-mail.org and post your temp email address here. I will send you the link.
Yep.
The crime rates are obvious lol. Moreover even existing Triads and Yakuzas aren’t remotely as violent as groid groups. Maybe they are even less violent than groids outside gangs but I’m really not sure.

“AIDS rates in Africa”
HIV turns into full-blown AIDS in Africans faster. Geneticists believe this is because blacks evolved some resistance to malaria which made them susceptible to AIDS as a side effect; at least that is the theory.
So AIDS sufferers dwindle in Africa much faster than say, George Michael, who is able to carry on hitting the bathhouses and public toilets long after he contracts HIV through expensive medical treatment which Africans cannot access anyhow.
“Self-delusion”
Yours is really, really cliche. It is the stereotype of poor hicks in trailer parks in the US. A dull platitude of cliches about obesity and so on.
I don’t think Negroids tend to know the fact that Poland exists, let alone the fact that Poland is a rapidly developing national conservative Central European country. To a Negroid there is often no difference between Warsaw, Krakow, Gdansk, Poznan, Katowice and Lublin simply because they are all just weird capitalized words. Hell maybe they even consider these to be human names.
Of course there are poor European countries such as Moldova, Kosovo, Ukraine, Montenegro and Albania. It is just very unlikely for Negroids to be aware of them. Maybe “Montenegro” actually sounds like a land of Negros to them lol.
Same for poor rural white British areas. I doubt Negroids outside UK could name any of these areas. I can’t either though I know that the Irish Traveller population and the Roma/Gypsy population are poor.
Well now we can at least tell you did not really understand the graphic you posted. Let's lay this out in more detail. We are looking at three different quantities.
Looking at the graphic I posted, notice that Eastern Europe and Central Asia are currently in worse shape than Africa in terms of new HIV infections. Africa is on the decline, Eastern Europe and Central Asia are on the ascent. If these trends hold, Eastern Europe and Central Asia will form the bulk of HIV cases globally.
Really thanks for giving a detailed rational refute more detailed than what I was about to give.
EAST
TRIADS have a hard time recruiting among Chinese-American youth these days. Not many of the “model minority” want to spend their time operating massage parlors or selling heroin. Their troops are anemic.
Also, corporations are replacing the small Chinese business owner and it is hard to extort from them.
The days of Chinese-American gangs robbing Majong games is really a thing of the past.
NIGERIAN
What is so fascinating about blacks is that you draw such comfort from stereotypes of rural white American degeneracy. Not the equally stark poverty of poor white Brits in council houses or poor Polish drunks or something.
No, it is always white rural Americans.
And yet there you are, in your cheap, filthy mobile home, having never ventured far beyond the trailer park in your hick town but rather constructing elaborate fantasies about world travels.
I left the US to get away from Groids and Mestizos.
Because I'm responding to what YOU are writing, you dumb cunt.
Why don’t you send your links about mixed marriages in China and Indian importation of Africans to BENGALI or EAST? I’m white American.
You are the very embodiment of the stereotype. Btw, my wife, an actual PhD in the topic that consumes lay morons throughout Unz, is newly pregnant with our first child. Of course she's over the moon with her pregnancy. But beyond that, she's gratified by the excellent genetic material this NIGERIAN (as you keep writing) brings to the fetus. As a scientist, she makes a cold clinical assessment that her relatively weak and inbred European genes are made far better by the union with my varied and robust African genes. It's a gift she's happy she can provide to her children.
White Nationalist? Sure. Fat and disgusting? How would you know?
NIGERIAN
Your own fantasy is neither elaborate nor original. It is just the same dull cliche of the “white cracker”. Small towns, rundown trailer parks, benighted extras from TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE or DELIVERANCE.
“Dumb c*nt”. Again with the Brit syntax.
“Very embodiment of the stereotype” Your stereotypes are dull and cliche. And, I might add, very British. The first being that white Americans are all obese.
“Weak and inbred European genes” Yes, that is why white Americans you call “rednecks” piss you off. We are not the slender and pallid continentals but fairly well-knit and robust.
Lot of insults. Little substance. Typical of you.
Looking at the graphic I posted, notice that Eastern Europe and Central Asia are currently in worse shape than Africa in terms of new HIV infections. Africa is on the decline, Eastern Europe and Central Asia are on the ascent. If these trends hold, Eastern Europe and Central Asia will form the bulk of HIV cases globally.
Well now we can at least tell you did not really understand the graphic you posted. Let’s lay this out in more detail. We are looking at three different quantities.
1. Total number of HIV cases in a country.
2. New HIV cases each year. This is the first derivative of 1.
3. The change in new HIV cases between 2010 and 2017. This is the second derivative of 1.
The only area where Africa is doing better than anyone else is in case 3. where it experienced a decline in new cases while E. Europe and Central Asia increased between 2010 and 2017.
Contrary to your assertion “notice that Eastern Europe and Central Asia are currently in worse shape than Africa in terms of new HIV infections”, sub-Saharan Africa had 1.17 million new cases of HIV in 2017 (370k + 800k) out of a total of 1.8 million worldwide. So almost double the rest of the world put together. Eastern Europe and Central Asia had 130k new cases in 2017 so a little bit more than 10% of those in SSA. Note that based on the graphic the SSA new cases were even higher in 2010.
Let’s reproduce the graphic here to make it easy to match what I am saying to it.
Of course Okechukwu is so shameless he won’t even be bothered that his statement was so blatantly wrong and easily refuted.
P.S. Regarding “Notice also that the Asia-Pacific region is well ahead of Western and Central Africa in terms of new infections.”
So 280k is greater than 370k. It looks like “Okenomics” is not just about economics. Especially given the relative populations of those two areas!
P.P.S. While we are at it, let’s take a look at another graphic from the source of the graphic above:
https://www.avert.org/global-hiv-and-aids-statistics
This one looks at category 1 above–current cases.

Res is just dumb, as are Jeff Stryker and Kekistani. But if there are any smart people still reading this overlong thread, please note the following:
I never at all claimed that there wasn’t an HIV/AIDS problem in Africa. However, the triumvirate of morons (Stryker, Res and Kekistani) want to give the impression, indeed have probably deluded themselves into believing, that AIDS is a wholly Black or African phenomenon. Dumb-dumb Res even intimated a genetic cause.
Here’s the problem with these clowns and with white nationalists generally. They don’t operate in reality. Rather they exist in a haze of self-delusion and self-deception, clinging desperately to a world and to “facts” that don’t actually exist. As such, they always get debated under the table whenever they stray from their echo-chambers or whenever they encounter someone like me.

1. Between total number of infections and new infections per year.
2. Between number of new infections per year and the change in that number between 2010 and 2017.
Total number of infections was well covered in my original comment.
Your graphic shows both new infections in 2017 and the change from 2010 to 2017. Your point is clearly to highlight the improvement in infection rate between 2010 and 2017 seen in sub-Saharan Africa (which is a good thing) compared to the worsening of that rate in E. Europe and Central Asia (which is a disturbing trend).
But the unwelcome truth your graphic shows is just how bad SSA still is in 2017 for the rate of new infections. Did you think nobody would notice that?
This is the part where I again wonder whether Okechukwu understands all of this or not. If he does he sure makes a lot of own goals (SSA performing terribly in both total and 2017 new infections) while making a relatively weak point about SSA getting better over that period while Eastern Europe and Central Asia got worse.
Do you really think anyone is reading your crap? Trust me, no one is.
Probability..probability…probability. Something can happen but still can be unlikely. Something may have worsened but it may still not be awful.
Your stance is very similar to the “Oh there is a mass murderer in Japan hence Japan must be a nation of mass murderers” nonsense that some people buy into. The Western version of this shit is of course quoting some news showing that racially NE Asian murderers do exist in the West hence we must be a violent group.
Of course the opposite version of this shit is..”Oh there is a peaceful Negroid hence Negroids must be a peaceful race.” Same shit.

You are right. Those numbers are terrible and something needs to be done in those areas. I mean they are almost up to 5-10% of South Africa’s rate of 18.8% HIV prevalence 18-49 or 30-50% of Nigeria’s rate of 2.8%.
https://www.avert.org/professionals/hiv-around-world/sub-saharan-africa/south-africa

P.S. I thought you had learned not to use references which could be so easily turned against you. Oh well.
I mean your average 40 year old white swinger or call girl does not have STD’s as often as the average 15 year old black girl.
And these diseases like syphilis or herpes. Where do they get them?
I don’t know much about the sexual behavior of that group, but I suspect the behavior (and STD rates) of the dominant men (including those who are still “boys”) around those 15 year old girls is the key factor.
Whether or not they are having unprotected sex with those men voluntarily is an important question. I feel deeply sorry for the ones for whom being a 15 year old girl with a serious STD came about involuntarily. What a way to start adult life.
P.S. I did not see any data looking at 15 year olds in particular. The age groups used seemed to be 15-19 and 15-24.
