The real issue with IQ is that it’s more of a threshold than a linear function. You don’t need a population with an average IQ of 120 in order to build a functional society, but you probably do need an average greater than 90.
Where does this put populations with a sub 90 average? What are the implications for a nation whose average IQ falls precipitously with mass immigration? Very pertinent questions that no one is permitted to discuss.
Considering an IQ of 90 is an accomplishment of human evolution itself, and there's no way that the first human societies 40,000 years ago got anywhere near that IQ, I don't think your argument makes sense.
That also doesn't account for the fact that IQ has actually inflated it's own scores, such that a 90 IQ of today would be significantly lower 100 years ago.
Actually, they aren't arbitrary. I get what you're trying to say: entire races are biologically incapable of forming societies. That's not true, and I was pointing out that one of the arguments you're using to support that premise is wrong.

This comment is highly autistic.
You understood what I meant. The numbers were arbitrary.
No, he's just an agent of evil.

Forming societies is a pretty low bar. A wolf pack has social structure.
