Soundwave said: Which is my exact point ... how is it the "dumb Americans" are the cultural dominant and have overtaken Europe in virtually every field of relevance? Success and IQ is not linear, from what I've found in actuality the most successful people are kind of borderline retarded at a lot of things. They excel due to an obsession (an almost simplification as it were) of focusing on being successful at one thing. |
It's because the top 1% of america is the best and the brightest compared to the top 1% of europeans ...
Satisfactory answer, no ?
IQ is still extremely important since a disproportionate amount of Ashkenazi Jews win nobel prizes (over 22% I think ?) relative to their population ...
Talal said: How shocking! poverty stricken, war torn countries are at the bottom. While highly industrialized 1st world countries came out on top. Again this doesn't prove that it's race. There are African emmigrants in those top countries that are doing just as well as their Asian/European counterparts. |
Even if you fix the environment that doesn't mean you gain parity ...
