Hmmmm….
“ In other words, a well-developed morality requires a complex organism with the potential for abstract reasoning. And according to Silverman (1994, p. 112) ‘high intelligence is synonymous with abstract reasoning ability and complexity of thought,’ thus intelligence can be assumed to affect moral development.”.
Research indicated the opposite, low IQ people tend to commit more violent crimes.
Inbreeding will do that.
I agree. Several here have made that odd assertion, that recognizing differences in intelligence in groups is dehumanizing.
So basically the unsaid thing is they are claiming there is no inherited basis for IQ? Yet IQ is partly at least a product of a physical organ—- the brain—- which is controlled by genes and thus selectable.
10,000 years of selective breeding? Just Chuck it in the garbage bin.
“I agree. Several here have made that odd assertion, that recognizing differences in intelligence in groups is dehumanizing.”
You don’t think that groups of people with certain agendas ‘can’ use this ‘recognition’ exactly for the purpose of dehumanization?
It’s not a matter of ‘is’ it’s a matter of ‘can’.
They ‘can’ do and they will, don’t pretend they won’t.
My original comment was basically questioning the motivation of this thread…not an accusation of anything, just a question of motive about where it is headed.
Glad to have others question my own assumptions…relieved actually.
Actually you do see it. Islam allows 1st cousins to marry. The Palestinians are the worst about doing so.
The Bing AI answers the question this way.
“According to a study by Barth in southern Kurdistan, 57% of all marriages in tribal villages were cousin marriages, with 48% being bint ‘amm marriages 1. It is also noted that throughout Kurdistan, marriage between cousins or at least within the tribal clan is preferred, and marriage with the father’s brother’s daughter is regarded as ideal”
Yeah, 57% of the time Muslims in Kurdistan are marrying a 1st cousin.
And rich men suck up the suitable mates pool disproportionately
That happens here too now on dating app hook up culture
The handsome guys and rich guys get the bulk of the girls
There have been some pretty brilliant despots who have slaughters millions.
Maybe low IQ people just don’t know how to avoid getting caught.
CPM is not an IQ score. The results are not directly comparable to each other. Palestinians scored 83.3 compare to the British sample of 85. A difference that slight between two differing cultures is meaningless. Using a standard of 86, then the British children are below average, and no one has said that about this study.
I did notice beforehand, and I’m not questioning your objections to the entrenched terrorism.
It was a light-hearted jab regarding the intrinsic dehumanization associated with low IQ...
Approximately the same average of US blacks.
No, I meant we would see lower IQ in all other Muslim countries. I know of no such data.
You are correct. Bad phrasing.
Mean 100. One sigma above is 115 and below is 85. That range captures about 66% of the total distribution.
So below 85 is 1/2 of the 33% remaining or . . . yup, 16ish%.

The top IQs in the world are Asian. The US is in the 90s, below 100. Ditto Russia. It’s very tricky. In a general way, Asia is the only thing keeping the global average at 100. Everywhere else is lower.
Most of the Middle East is sub 90. I don’t see a Muslim correlation because Iraq is 89, well above its local peers, particularly Saudi Arabia in the 70s. The Muslim ‘stans south of Russia are in the high 80s and are Muslim.
It’s actually scary scrolling around that graph. The world would be morons with a sub 85 average were it not for Japan and China.
This shows a certain distorted thinking of so many Arabs I've encountered. They seem to have a rote, mechanical and primitive kind of functionality, but lack of any deep or abstract thinking.
This guy seemed unaware of the moral implications of killing an innocent, let alone elderly, person. Only the physical mattered -- i.e., age, weight, etc. I'm guessing that guys like him possess a superficial practicality. He could probably change a flat tire, but not make any truly rational or profound decisions.
No the British children were 100:
“ in relation to a British IQ of 100”
