Let's say HOAs, ballots, employers, or another organizational division started requiring people grasp and affirm that evolution is real, and that different ethnic groups will develop statistically significant variations in mean intelligence. Most European descended groups will place above the global average. Some east Asian and Ashkenazi Jewish groups will score above. Black-European will score one deviation below and pure black groups usually 2 deviations.
I think the test would be wildly successful at first, as racism is the modern narrative for social conformity. Someone that is both aware and willing to publicly affirm a socially inconvenient truth is more likely to put collective well-being above their own pleasures. Absent in the blog post, I'm certain it's very common that people have some awareness of racial disparity in intelligence and trustworthiness, but is subject to cognitive dissonance for social acceptance.
Eventually Goodhart's Law will set in, that a metric ceases to be useful once participants are aware of the metric. The various types of conformists will adjust, and people will return prioritize submitting to whatever the new narrative is over rocking the boat.
I'm curious not just how long it takes, but what could be the next narrative to control and/or generated by the masses?
This knowledge existed for literally millennia until it was forcibly and actively suppressed—which continues to this day.
You’re asking about the lasting power of the wrong thing. Also no, every single study claiming jews are more intelligent has been admittedly false.
Hhave you even looked into those studies?
Taking a bunch of wealthy select private school ny jewish kids, and only looking at verbal IQ.
You shouldn't believe it.
You yourself are a living example of someone believing the next false narrative. That ashkenazi are higher IQ. Mate, run the math, don't just believe it because you've heard it a load of times and so repeat it. Look at the demographics of israel. What is the sephardic IQ, and what must the arab IQ be to make those numbers add up? And why is the arab IQ so much lower than that of their less wealthy arab neighbours. It makes no sense. Or just look at how they calculated ashkenazi iq. Take a load of wealthier private select students from most anywhere and you'd get those results.
Is there a typo?
No
The arabs in Israel would need to have an iq of 40 or something to make the math work and make the average of the whole of Israel make sense with the ashkenazi. Then look at the at the surrounding countries like Egypt, Lebanon which are poorer than isreal… and it doesn’t add up. Arabs aren’t that low in IQ.
Evolution isn't real. It was recently mathematically disproven.
Which is a testament to how easily you can fuck up math, since we can literally induce the genetic adaptations of evolution in a lab using fast breeding organisms like fruit flies.
Oh it's a testament to how math can be fucked up alright. Might want to read it.
Considering I've actually done the experiments with live specimens and seen the actual mutations manifest, I think I'll pass on whatever flat math theory manifesto you're thinking of, thanks.
My goodness you observed a species jump?!
Did you hear about Griggs vs Duke Power, the USSC case from 1971? It basically enshrines blank slate theory as official Federal policy, and that was directly on the topic which you are discussing (intelligence tests.)
About 2 tenths of a second.
Even though it's been repeatedly debunked and was never founded on anything but a romantic notion?
Guess we know what needs overturned.
Yes, it needs to be. To his credit, Trump signed an EO directing federal agencies to stop using disparate impact for liability assessment, but until the USSC case is reversed, the legal basis for it continues to exist.
If we got to a cultural point where organizations started requiring people affirm racial differences in IQ, we would be well on our way to a second Pax Americana.
I think that a lot of the older generation has to pass on before anything like this is anywhere near approachable. The liberal worldview is so calcified into the minds of the majority of white populations that they deny the evidence that they see in their everyday lives.
Haven’t we already crossed into the start of the boomer event horizon?
Also, tell every white person you can, “you need to start being -real- racist and we need a fuckload more than Trump”
That’s the thing, the metric of IQ isn’t something that can be “managed” because there are multiple factors, but ignoring IQ(disparate impact, Griggs vs. Duke) and making it essentially illegal to review means we instead have swallowed the poison pill of Credentialism, right before institutional competence collapse(due to DEI) thus invalidating the credentials that were a mid-marker for both conscientiousness and intelligence.
Being able to evaluate IQ doesn’t mean temperament, morals, and conscientiousness and grit aren’t factors, but being unable to deal directly with IQ puts a lot of sand in the gears of civilizational competence and maintenance.
Bold of you to assume they can't hold both opinions at the same time. Happens all the time.
I once got scolded in Jr. High for saying some people are just stupid. If society actually acknowledged average IQ differences those woth lesser IQs could be steered towards careers they're actually capable of performing. This would probably make society a decent bit better. I think if this were successful for at least 2 generations social norms would make it so that retards are undesirable to breed with because of the lack of opportunities so Iq would rise across the board
