It is racist to discuss IQ because the average black person has an IQ of 85.

The APA used to define an IQ of 85 as retarded, but they had to abandon that idea once the average IQ of black people became known.

Do I-phones lower IQ?

Intelligence Quotient is important. You have to have the equipment. Then you have to have the software.

IMO, it’s the software that is deficient these days.

The emphasis isn’t on giving kids the software they need.

It’s on giving them the Leftist vaporware.

Our educations system doesn’t instill values. It doesn’t instill sound economic principles. It does it’s best to destroy any lessons from history.

This must be turned around. When these kids reach their 40s - 70s, they’ll be unprepared to make intelligent decisions regarding which way our nation needs to go.

If we got back to basics, it would take about 15 years to start seeing results. The Marxists should be disqualified from impacting our nation’s education system.

Get education back to the local community. Eliminate the local Leftist activist’s impact on our local school boards, and the PTA.

They are enemies of our nation, pure and simple.

If they don’t support our Constitution and the Founding Principles, they are subversive and in some instances out and out traitors.

They should be treated as such.

Those who have not heard of the Jason Richwine affair need to look at it. He’s a Harvard PhD who was forced to resign from the Heritage Foundation because his research showed that immigrants to the US have lower IQ’s than the natives. Trump is right: the best and brightest aren’t coming here, and they are costing the rest of us.

IQ was invented by eugenicists.

If you subsidize something you get more of it. Subsidizing low IQ girls having babies has an effect.

Intelligence is a biological problem and should be treated as one. Research can ultimately provide chemicals to ease the problem of low IQ’s. In addition, medications to increase the time between stimulus and response(impulse control) would be useful in certain demographics.

All the elites in DC, from both parties, have high IQ’s.

Who damages the most people, the local ruffians or the DC elite crowd?

That's white man's IQ test. Blacks measure their intelligence differently.

For instance, what percentage of whites are working to pay taxes. What percentage of blacks are not working and benefiting as well as many working class whites?

The only time liberals will talk about IQ is when they are trying to get one of their pets off death row. Otherwise, talking about it is “racist.” Remember how they burned “The Bell Curve”?

Having an average or above average IQ doesn’t guaranty success in life, but it helps a lot. Having a below average IQ doesn’t necessarily mean failure. But, when you couple below average IQ with destructive personal or societal culture, it can end in disaster.

Do we have an insoluble problem?

There's a solution. Societal devolution. In times of wide civil disorder, I'd say that IQ is of less value. Look at the inbred Middle East, or the more disorganized parts of Africa, or our worst inner city areas. Strength and ruthlessness matter as much or more as abstract intelligence.

“Do we have an insoluble problem?”

Quite likely. If robots take over as hotel maids, ditch diggers, tomato pickers, etc. and those displaced aren’t capable of building robots or retraining for higher skills, even if they are willing to work what are they going to do?

“(it’s all about IQ after all)” isn’t in the original article, which looks to be more about social breakdown than IQs.
