Or, rather, when they are measuring something, they cannot show, hence cannot know, the difference between true intelligence and good work ethic from a home with books, or both combined.

That is a very good point. I think you are correct. I have also seen myself that people of basically average IQ can do exceptionally well in difficult mathematics tests and rigourous exams, simply by putting in the work required to study. That doesn’t come from brainpower – it comes from a good family background.

Their ancestry…harrumph.

Unfortunately, Asians here trend lefty. Maybe it’s because their passed through California at some point in time.

Much of the problem is that IQ tests aren’t actually reliably measuring intelligence. Or, rather, when they are measuring something, they cannot show, hence cannot know, the difference between true intelligence and good work ethic from a home with books, or both combined.

Yes, I can say this from a position of considerable strength.

They haven’t started seeing “poor, misunderstood youth” going to jail over beating on Asians, either. When they do…

average 85 iq isn’t likely to ever figure anything out.

Pretty much. What I find remarkable is that Indonesia, Colombia, Brazil, and Bosnia & Herzegovina all have average national IQs at or slightly below the 85 level of American Blacks – and yet most such countries maintain a far more stable, prosperous, healthy, and downright decent society than American Blacks can manage even with vast amounts of government assistance.

Colombia, in particular, is capable of maintaining near-First World levels of infrastructure and civilisation, as far as I am aware (I’ve never been there), with far fewer natural advantages and far less government spending.

IQ therefore does not have absolute predictive power, nor should it. But it clearly has some effect.

One wonders how long it will be before blacks figure out that this is targeted at them….and what that will do to the Dems…

Well, they’ve had 60+ years to figure it out, and they haven’t yet, so I’d say it’s safe to assume that the Daemoncrats will safely continue to wage their divide-and-conquer strategy for as long as the USA is still a viable political entity. Which, at the rate things are going now, won’t be for more than 10 years.

not that “figuring things out” is particularly important as a survival strategy.

mosquitos do just fine with the “over whelm the problem with numbers” tactic.

That was attributed to Ernest Hemingway, from what I recall. Works here too.

We are headed to disaster on a rocket ship. The fools in charge have no idea how anything works in the real world. From Finance, to Energy, to racial relations they live in a world of their own construct.

FFS look at this: https://gunfreezone.net/ted-cruz-is-catching-on-that-we-are-going-to-lose-all-the-wars/

We clearly aren’t a serious people. And our leaders are screwing up at a mind blowing pace.

The fools in congress will push this until it explodes, and when it does it’s going to be horrible. Inflation is happening exponentially. I don’t know one person not fed up. I showed my wife that army ad, and she flipped out at the two lesbian mothers like I’ve never seen. Russia and China recruit men. We recruit girls with daddy issues.

People are sick of race and sex being thrown in their face.

A black dude kidnapped a 4 year old white boy in DFW, raped and murdered him. Left him in the street then went back to get the twin brother but didn’t. It’s roiling here, yet no one showed it in the main media.

Someone will snap then it’ll be game on.

It won’t be 2033 either. If you’re a follower of the fourth turning, it’ll be 2025 – that’s peak crisis where things start to get rebuilt. It’s not crazy at all that misery starts by the end of the summer. People are stupid. It’ll take some pain to wake them up.

When I see all these progs and blecks acting out, I can’t help but think these aren’t the ones hoarding guns and ammo. They are in for a real sad, sorry surprise. I will do what I must to keep my family safe.

I’m a devout Catholic man. But if that were my grandson that were taken, I’d wipe out that dudes family and burn his house to the ground. I told that to my mild mannered wife.

She agreed it would have to be done.
