Rumination is an unfortunate side effect of intelligence.
The more possibilities you can imagine the more stressful it is to make decisions, and the less confidence you will have that your past decisions were the right ones.
For the record I don't believe in an organized global conspiracy. I do believe that many individual actors that are making decisions based on the same parameters can build a large structure that, when viewed from a distance or over a long period of time, looks like it has a complex and deliberate design and came from a conscious architect.
Look up some of the stuff on Jewish intelligence. I'm not saying the narrative is a total myth, but some of the methodology I've seen is actually pretty suspect. Interesting stuff, if nothing else.
One of the things I remember is many of the studies compared young children in special Jewish schools to non-Jews who didn't have that upbringing, and that creates a big disparity that doesn't seem to follow into adulthood, or even later childhood. Very selective sampling can really skew the numbers. So some of the narrative is actually just a snapshot that really just says specific Jewish children are more educated than average.
Wait, so IQ research is virtually nonexistent with the convenient exception of methodologically questionable studies that suggest a “very good reason” for Jewish overrepresentation in virtually every institution in the west? No shway Jose!
Asian IQ is higher in all of the empirical disciplines. Jewish “high IQ” largely takes the form of verbal IQ, which is a politically correct way of saying “we excel at manipulating our fellow man”. Best lawyers, etc. I’m speaking from experience here; when I was tested, I excelled in verbal disciplines as well. I sometimes feel like a whistleblower here.
With respect to nations and civilizations, IQ appears to be a threshold. Your people either have sufficient average IQ to create and maintain a functional civilization (Europe) or they don’t (Africa). If you meet the threshold, collectively, then your prize is a prosperous sustainable autonomous nation state.
You shouldn’t be compelled to cede control of your civilization to imported foreign interests simply because they boast a higher IQ; is it the fate of every successful people on earth to inevitably be ruled by high IQ Asians, right?
Substitute “Jews” for “Asians” and that statement is just as valid. Less relevant, though; Asians haven’t been found out and subsequently ejected over 100 times.
And before anyone argues that higher IQ should reliably decide who controls a nation, with no consideration for demographic ownership, realize that you would also be endorsing total control of humanity by artificial intelligence.
The average isn't as important (except "on average", I guess) as the extreme lows dragging everyone else down and the extreme highs trying to hold things together and build an oasis of civilization. And with enough lows then the highs can't really do anything beyond getting as much build wealth as possible to build little forts for their families. This isn't related to your argument about importing high IQ foreigners. Just an observation.
OK . . . My thinking didn't go that deep . . . I had Woody Allen in mind when I wrote it, but what you say makes sense.
I can't tell you how tired I am of hearing about the "international Jewish banker/Rothschild conspiracy to rule the world," so your last paragraph pretty much expresses what I imagine the reality of the "Jewish Question" to be.
That's a really obtuse sentence, but I hope you get my point.
A lot of dry "history of science" and biographical stuff but the "meat" of the theories is mindblowing. The idea that everything is made up of regular but non-repeating patterns that can't be predicted only iterated through is a concept that totally changed how I looked at the world.
I'm almost with you on the single "organized" global conspiracy, but I don't want to discount the fact the secret societies and cults have been directing events in various nations since the beginning of history. Globalization and instant communication only makes it more likely that various layers of influence networks would form around groups of world elites who share those same "parameters", and attempt to architect things at the ground level, if not at the macro level. It's feels more crazy to believe that world events aren't shaped by 10,000 conspiracies every day. The only thing giving us normal plebs ease of mind on this is realizing that 1) Elite plans usually aren't that effective, nor directly in control 2) There's not a single group guiding everything behind-the-scenes, and 3) The groups that do have high influence are often in conflict with other groups. Influence networks work in two directions.
So for example you don't have the annual WEF meeting headed by Klaus saying "Ok guys, how can we get zem to eat ze bugs by 2030?" You do have misanthropic elites with weird ideological bents at the top levels who think they're saving the planet, combined with others who have been swayed and bought into those ideas to such a degree that they financially benefit, who then arrange private talks and consensus with their colleagues to push small ideas out to the greater WEF membership, which influence politicians to gradually inch policy closer to goals that align with the misanthropes. tl;dr The global population may be like ants acting on instinct and inertia and with no real concerted plan, but there are actors consciously working together (conspiring) to place pheromones in just the right spots to get us to move in the direction they want. Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

Lucky accidents that occur when you're following the same agenda. Look up "Amalek" sometime.
