Look at the US military. They have jobs for people across the entire IQ spectrum… except for sub 83 IQ retards. The US military discovered that there is no place for such people in the service because they literally cannot perform any task within the hierarchy without sabotaging its effectiveness.
Look at the nations of the world. Do you see any prosperous and functional nations with average IQs below that threshold? Black countries have lower average IQs than Hispanic countries, hispanic countries have lower average IQ than whites countries, white countries have lower average IQ than Asian countries, but they are all capable of producing functional nations - unless the population has an average IQ below a certain threshold.
IQ is not only a threshold, but its importance to society is primarily as a lower boundary to indicate who can function within the system versus who must be tabulated purely as a liability. And when the percentage of the population that qualifies as a liability exceeds a certain number, society is threatened.

Oh, buddy, let me tell you something about the military.
They don't fucking test people's IQ. If they did, they'd lose too many people. They use the ASVAB. Infantrymen get the lowest allowable scores. When I was in, it was a score of 32. That means your score was above the 32 percentile of all people tested. During The Surge for getting people into Iraq and Afghanistan while the war was generally unpopular, that bitch dropped down to 28.
If you get a 28 on the ASVAB, it means you can't even fucking do fractions. Literally: 1/2 + 1/3 = ??? is going to put you in that range.
Just trust me on this, that dude with the 83 IQ is probably working in the Motor T lot or is a fucking SAW gunner.
Do you see any prosperous and functional nations with average IQs below that threshold?
Pretty much all of them prior to the modern era. Before the modern era, the majority of people were barely even literate.
IQ was basically invented to measure what could be a level of intelligence in a developed western country that could guarantee prosperity. Hence the focus on abstraction. It was invented by the progressive intelligentsia of the early 20th century, and then was slowly reformed into something with actual scientific backing. You don't actually need high levels of abstraction to form a healthy family/community unit that feeds itself and passes traditions down as imparted knowledge. If you think that the people who named their city "Ur" had an IQ anywhere near 100, you're crazy. The massive capitalization of knowledge into institutions is what allows low IQ people to prosper without having to solve extremely elaborate problems. This is the value of working institutions and good traditions.
The danger is that if those institutions or traditions are corrupted, people with lower IQ's will suffer and won't have any way of fighting out of it. They'll just continue operating knowing that something is wrong, but won't know how to solve it themselves. This is, frankly, where we are getting the midwit and "low IQ & high IQ conservatives" phenomenons from. The high IQ's are recognizing the institutions are broken because they are operating illogically, the midwits are refusing to recognize the institutions are broken because it secured them social status, and the low IQ's are recognizing the institutions are broken because "things don't seem right".
To answer your question: Almost all of Classical Greece, Egypt, Rome, China, and Sumer. Also including basically every country in the European Middle Ages. All of them were able to function, mostly because their institutions helped to maintain their vast population of what we would consider low IQ retards. When those institutions failed, the whole civilization collapsed. We happen to be benefiting from a moment in human history where IQ's are so high that even though the institutions are on fire, the civilization hasn't utterly imploded.
I was not referring to either the “frontline bodies needed” wartime military of, say, the Vietnam era, nor was I talking about the “diversity, inclusion, equity” leftist military of the modern era. The degree to which the US military has respected and implemented its own IQ findings is a function of both politics and the availability of personnel. If 83 IQ retards are all you’ve got, so be it. If you have to install those retards in leadership positions in order to meet DIE quotas imposed by Marxists, so be it.
