Not an expert but isn't democracy fundamentally flawed. The tyranny of the majority is something that used to be considered a bug of the system, now it is a desirable feature?
Democracy only works in a racially and culturally homogeneous nation, and necessitates that the vote is tied to land ownership and to an individual family.
That is the circumstance under which the founders saw potential.
Over the years every single piece of what the founders set up as checks on the corruption of democracy were removed and cast aside.
Now a foreign invader with 80iq has the same theoretical political power as a generational native with an iq of 120.
Is that justice? Does that lead to a positive future? It very obviously does not.
Well, to that point, in a homogenous state a native with an iq of 120 has the same power as a native with an iq of 50. Is that justice?
Your stupid thought experiment inadvertently touched upon a critical concept: IQ thresholds. The quality of your society does not scale linearly with the IQ of your citizens. There exists a clear threshold beyond which functional and prosperous civilization is possible - and below which it is basically impossible to sustain such a nation.
Look at Asian nations. Are they proportionally “better” than white nations because Asians have an higher average IQ? No. But every nation with an average IQ of 90 is guaranteed to be a shithole.
So why did you include IQ in your original point if it's irrelevant to the quality of society?
Would the 50iq monkey own land and have a family?
Your original point only focused on IQ, so that's where I was building from.
But for this exercise we'll say yes, since we'll have everyone on the same playing field.
