Anyway shut the fuck up, this is the same subforum with a holocaust debate thread.

Discuss things like the difference between two scores, the Flynn effect, whether the tests measure anything at all, etc.

Charles Murray's findings about race and IQ in The Bell Curve are pretty authoritative, IMO.

However, high IQ isn't everything you need in a society. Some of the smartest people I know, who I will freely admit likely have higher overall IQs than me (they went into very technically complex fields I couldn't fathom working in), are also total shitlibs who think Greta Thunberg will save the world, trans women are women, and Drumpf's fascism must be stopped. High IQ doesn't make people think the right things...it just makes them better at rationalizing your views. The average lily-white Portland suburb has a very high IQ, which the residents use to rationalize stupid liberal bullshit.

Lowering of IQ isn't the only problem with diversity, either. Diversity also lowers trust due to poor cultural fit between diverse groups, and muddles the common morality. (((Certain high IQ groups))) can be pretty problematic too. You need a combo of high average IQ, cultural homogeneity, and solid moral foundations to produce a functional society. Maxing out stats isn't the solution to the West's problems in and of itself.

Maybe if your IQ was higher you would see the truth too instead of finding refuge in fringe theories that make you feel like you know things better than your superiors.

Maybe if my IQ was higher, I could learn how to get kicked out of 109 and do just fine.

The kind of people you mentioned are very booksmart and can learn a lot of random facts, but not at figuring out how or why things work the way they work. They're the kind to be very good at cramming and taking tests, but never actually learning the processes and procedures, and applying such concepts to anything outside of what they learned those for.

Unfortunately, such jobs are built around being able to memorize and cough up a whole lot of information, not critically thinking processes through and figuring them out for yourself. Is a person who's good at rote memorization truly smarter than a person who's good at critical thinking?
