| The Ghost of RubangB said: @Kasz, I'm sure those IQ tests have lower averages in states with more immigrants. I'm not saying immigrants are stupid. But I am saying that IQ tests are usually biased towards a particular language and a particular cultural upbringing, and I'd need to know more about those tests. I've taken an IQ test that was in English, but failed it because it was intended for Australians. |
All of the yellow high IQ states have very high non-hispanic white populations.

Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
