Whites make up all these fake graphs. They lie that whiteys have high IQ. Only asians, pajeets and jews are intelligent. Whites are almost as low IQ as blacks. White women are retarded.

Half of the world populations is below IQ 85

We should kill the entire world

If we took another attribute, like strength, I wouldn't expect a symmetrical bell curve. This is because, below a certain level of physical strength, you start to get very high mortality rates (severe cerebral palsy, for example). 40-60% of all embryos miscarry between fertilization and birth. My suggestion here is the extreme genetic defects leading to physical atrophy are selected against during insemination and by excess mortality during life (including fetal life). Of course, some people really are brain dead, but many of these people are only kept alive as a result of modern medical intervention. I'm skeptical that there are really millions of Africans with an IQ below 40 -- maybe they are being born, but I imagine their mortality rate is so high that they have shorter life spans than the African average. The curve should drop off faster on the left than a symmetrical curve would indicate. Is this reasoning flawed? How so?

The SD differences on the WAIS-IV were significant; for example, whites had a standard deviation of 13.77 and Asians had a standard deviation of 15.01, though American Asians may not be a representative sample. We mayo monkeys had a similarly pitiful standard deviation of 13.2 on the amazingly named Woodcock Johnson 3. I can go rummaging through the dirt for sources if you're interested.

Meta-analysis is coming out soon. SD differences between races are practically null.

Did you do any special fitting or require further assumptions when combining the different distributions? I can see already that the global standard deviation is greater than the national ones, but I would expect it to be more multi-modal.

With the impending population surge in Sub-Saharan Africa this century the distribution is expected to shift significantly downward. This does not bode well for humanity.

But then again almost all of the advances in technology have come from Europe and America so I don’t think it would be that consequential.

Do not worry about Africa. Before the end of this century, billions of humans will go hungry as hydrocarbon reserves will be kept rather than exported and assassinations will be done to keep the first world countries alive the longest. Supply chains will crash as just in time manufacturing is no longer plausible with primary energy being in short supply. The timeline for permanent lockdowns or military excuses is sometime around 2030. Do not worry about the people whom cannot feed themselves. Africa has rolling power rollouts anyways.

If you think I am kidding look at the accelerated deindustrialization in Europe and what lack of diseal does for farmer subsidies.

I share your deep concern about our trajectory.

Yet fifty years ago mass starvation was as confidently predicted; agricultural productivity gains were not. Over my lifetime, predictions have a poor track record of coming true. What happens instead is unexpected and changes everything. Then everyone forgets what they were so certain of the day before.

We should act in response to what we see before us, I agree, and hope we can steer away from bad outcomes

Not sure what you are on about. Billions of people are starving daily and just because you use technology to accelerate extraction rates, nothing has changed. 2007 we peaked crude and Great financial crash happened. 2018 we peaked liquids, and net energy has stabilized last decade because of shale. Just because you delay things does not mean you can overcome physics, using a larger straw to get to a basin that is accessible only buys you time, it does not stop the inevitable. Food inflation and everything is happening. Being off by 1 or 2 decades is not going to change anything. Agricultural productivity -- tradeoff being run off of phosphorus/decline in nutrition in soil/and permanent desertification of some areas.

Just because you live in the western world with 20x the energy usage of India does not mean there are NOT starving people in the world right now from overbreeding, especially in Africa and India.

Obama launching drone strikes for hydrocarbons. Israel removing Gaza for natural gas deposits with egypt. France taking uranium discounts from Africa.

So yes, your idea of -nothing- bad happened is illusionary. Somewhere in the world, people are being bombed and maimed to keep your A/C & heat running. Latest hydrocarbon deposits in Guana/Guava or whatever being orbited; second and third world countries told to go ''green'' or electric.

COP28 oil saudi leader told to deindustrialize so western powers can use the oil on high IQ populations via globalists.

There you go. Everytime I hear ''oh our predictions are off''. No they are not. Business as 2 model is going at it right now.

Tight oil has lower energy density, and combinations of fluids at different densities must be recombined for proper utilization in different usage cases. Wells decline 3x faster even at greater efficiency per well. Nothing changed.
