How can entire societies function with sub-70 average IQ?
wgurnuqvsdc91.jpg


Okay, so my motivation for asking is because recently I found out that the average IQ of Somalia is like 67, and I recently got an IQ result from taking the AGCT of 115. Now, the blackpill comes in when I try and find out the Standard Deviation that puts me with a mean of 70 IQ? For context, this puts me at 84th percentile in a western context.

But, what about in Somalia? Well... Here's a snippet from ChatGPT:

An IQ of 115 is 3 standard deviations (SDs) above the mean of 70:
  • A score of 115 is in approximately the 99.87th percentile relative to this population.
  • This means only about 0.13% of people in this group score at or above 115.
  1. Exceptional Standing:
    • Within this population, an IQ of 115 is considered highly exceptional.
    • You would be among the top cognitive performers, easily grasping concepts and solving problems beyond the capabilities of most peers.
  2. Relative Performance:
    • Tasks requiring abstraction, problem-solving, or strategic planning that are challenging for the average individual (IQ 70) might feel straightforward or intuitive to someone with an IQ of 115.

Now, here comes my theoretical copes for this information, which is admittedly a major blackpill imo.
IQ is can raise drastically in societies over time? The only reason I'm inclined to believe this is the case is because it wasn't too long ago that China was a completely destitute society of peasants that was completely buck-broken to the Colonialists, and I'm reaching a bit to say that they must've had an IQ around 80 at that time. You would have to say, yes IQ is mostly genetic, but improved living conditions and medical advancements over 100s of years can take that smaller portion of IQ that is environment-based and have an impact. How does any of the IQ theory of today support that? Keep in mind I think it's undeniable that races have different IQs, I just can't fathom the idea of an entire race of people being sub-70 IQ emotionally. Isn't that on the border of mental retardation? Idk, just some interesting thoughts for discussion.

China lies about its average IQ scores, the same way it lies about everything else. The real average is 90 at best.

As for how the rest function? They don't. They're either tribal backwaters that just happen to have a border around them, or they're coasting on colonial foundations. Burundi and a couple of others in the east might be exceptions. The main reason they haven't completely collapsed is because of the legacy of relative safety colonial enforcement provided, which opened up the opportunity to make use of land and resources that were previously indefensible in the face of constant tribal warfare. A legacy that is fast disappearing.
 
Perhaps the true blackpill is the insidious nature of countries that are supposedly "just below" the average, because those are cultures smart enough to lie but not able to actually back it up.
China only reports its highest test scores; India tries doing that too and they still only manage to get 80 even though leafs have very quickly discovered how bogus even that number is.
 
You can destroy IQ with things like malnutrition. So you can heal it back to the natural potential over generations. But that potential doesn't extend beyond what's genetically there. But africans in countries where they're fed well have roughly the same IQ as in africa. American blacks score higher, but they have on average 20% european DNA.

Though if you were only allowing the highest IQ's to reproduce, there is a strong documented "regression to the mean" effect with IQ, where individual geniuses will have smart children, but not as smart as themselves, even if their partner is equally intelligent. This is one of the ways how having smart immigrants from places with low IQs, ends up with worse progeny over generations. Of course we don't exactly know the average IQ of any genetic group due to all the factors that affect it, but even then, IQ is one of the most robust stats we have in the entire field of psychology.

So it may well be possible that Chinese IQ was different during their decades of famine than it is in more affluent times.

Somalia really has the worst of all worlds, they're a low IQ african nation. Nothing special there. But they're also predominantly muslim. The problem is that islam actively and passively encourages cousin marriage (although it's nowhere as high as it is in Pakistan). It encourages it actively because Muhammed did it, and passively because being so protective of women and treating them like a scarce resource, they're more frequently wed to people you trust (family). Cousin marriage has an IQ cost of about 3 points. Which over generations....

Society? Function?

If you frequently look at world map stats, you'll frequently see these zones as not reported because they're not keeping stats. They're not keeping stats because they're not even barely functioning.

Finally remember that Koko the gorilla had a tested IQ of 85.

The IQ scores are not intentionally lying. Its just that Asians are insanely good at repetition.

Its really easy to rig IQ tests through practiced repetition, which is all Asian education really is. However when it comes to creativity and innovation, there is a reason they steal all their ideas from the West because they are fucking garbage at it.

Not even mentioning how the average Western IQ is dragged down due to all the variety of brain dead niggers that keep getting brought over. Take them out of the averages and Western IQ's would likely match or exceed Asian IQ's.
 
IQ testing is normalized by locale, and recalculated by decade, it's literally impossible for normalized IQ average to be under 100.
A 12 year old American would test out at around 250 IQ in the year 1900, because of the knowledge base they were born into, this is the meaning of the quote "We stand on the shoulders of giants."

The real blackpill is the global incest map.

Gee, I wonder why M.E.N.A. is so fucked up all the time.
 
As an example, Somalia has been starving for more than 30 years now, yet their population has more than doubled during that time, simply because Europe and North America have kept sending them aid.

What I'm trying to say is that all these brown shitholes only exist beyond a stone age, tribal warfare level with small groups of humans spread across vast distances because the White man gives them gibs.

Cut off the aid and Africa would lose 90% of its population within a few decades.

I'm not as black pilled. There are examples of more functional African countries than others. And in theory if left in isolation long enough the IQ numbers would climb on their own.
The problem is that nobody wants to leave Africa alone. Everyone wants their resources and they see their population growth as a means of fixing their poor population growth.
I think a semi benevolent and isolationist global environment can lead to a better Africa. If all the West and China did was extract resources and only provide iodine then I can see Africa, slowly, very slowly becoming better over all.
But as long as we keep airdropping food for no reason they will only get worse.
 
Because that chart is based on limited samples and bad data. Like their sample for Equatorial Guinea was like a dozen teenage refugees, all of whom experienced many years of malnutrition, and one or two of whom was literally retarded. How the fuck do you estimate an entire country's IQ based on a tiny sample like that? I'm also suspicious of Chinese IQ being that high given the widespread poverty in Chinese villages until very recently.

That's not to say African IQ isn't much lower than white IQ, but I'm very skeptical the problem is as bad as that chart implies. And science shows IQ can rise over time if children are well nourished, experience few/no severe diseases, and aren't exposed to toxins like lead or mercury. Possibly even higher depending on group evolution, like the difference between Middle Eastern Jews and Ashkenazi Jews.
