ESR[1] made the point that lower-IQ societies can function so long as technological progression is slow and steady. Since NPCs imitate instead of thinking critically, they can't adapt quickly enough in the ever-changing environment of advanced civilization. Part of the reason positive rights are evil since they drag down ethical, intelligent individuals (of any skin color) to the superstitions of mode-averaged/lowest-common-denominator (not even the mean/median honest folk) of an extended population, and the ritualism of self-centered douchebags (much of the managerial class found in most HR, Finance, Sales&Marketing departments).
I think he made this point in an earlier blogpost, but I'm not spending 10 hours wrestling with search engines.
