1. Quick!

Get Fox News out there!

You know, if we didn't hate ourselves so much we would be beaming Fox News to a bunch of other countries and not our own.

[RKP5637]

20. Yep, Fox News weaponized and aimed at other countries. n/t

2. #15 Pauvres Etats-Uniens!!

O Canada!
Terre de nos aïeux,

(Et mes aïeux aussi.)

Translation:

Oh Canada!
country of our forebears.

(And mine also)

4. a generation of attacks on education and "anti-intellectualism" will do that to you

but by all means, let's pour a few more trillion into another fighter jet program and pay for it by crucifying our teachers as "greedy".

[RKP5637]

7. It's a damn shame. There has been so much "anti-intellectualism" in the US. The US

is on its way to being a dystopian society for many. When I read the comments on various news articles, for example, in many places on the web, I am stunned by the lack of knowledge and even basic writing skills.

11. case in point..................

16. Yep, I saw that earlier. It's stunning. The US will not be a world leader in the future, except

as maintained by war, if even then. .... if this continues. Other countries are moving forward in the 21st century, while the US seems intent on regressing.

5. "Here Are 25 Countries With The Highest Average IQs."

Of course the first list leaves the entire continent of Africa out because... you know... "dark continent". And the 2nd list has the countries on the African continent at the bottom. It's how white supremacy gets perpetuated generation after generation.

[RKP5637]

9. Excellent point! n/t

[nolabear]

6. This is bull. Just so's you know.

I could go on for a long time about it but take the source into consideration. And then take the standard IQ concept into consideration. And then take conflifentiality, who takes tests well and who they are available to in various countries...etc. This means nothing.

[RKP5637]

8. ... except when people vote. n/t

[applegrove]

10. And it does not measure emotional iq or introvertedness or take into

consideration that iq rises with income rising and all the rest. There are thousands of kinds of intelligences.

[RKP5637]

14. It gets rather ambiguous to me. n/t

[nolabear]

18. Yes there are.

[oberliner]

12. The US is 9th

Which is indicated at your second link.

[moriah]

13. Behind the 22 other countries tied for 8th or higher.... nt

[WhiskeyGrinder]

15. That link has no place here.

The article from "Scoop Whoop" is sourced to a Bulgarian Christian computing site (okay?), which sources it to two researchers that many others see as problematic if not outright racist.

[RKP5637]

17. There are so many variables. n/t

[WhiskeyGrinder]

19. I edited my post, but am reposting it as a reply. Those links have no place here.

The article from "Scoop Whoop" is sourced to a Bulgarian Christian computing site (okay?), which sources it to two researchers, Lynn and Vanhanen, who many others see as problematic if not outright racist.

The other link directly sources Lynn and Vanhanen.

[RKP5637]

23. The listings are endless and get rather conflicted.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

24. Which doesn't change the fact that you haven't deleted the links based on research by racists.

[RKP5637]

25. I was just reading this on American Renaissance!!!

Yes, I will delete it. Thanks for the clarification!

https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/group/american-renaissance

[RKP5637]

21. How about the second link? n/t

[WhiskeyGrinder]

22. It's the same fucking research.

Lynn speaks at conferences hosted by American Renaissance, a white racist publication. Delete this shit and do your homework next time.

[Sneederbunk]

28. May explain why African and South American countries are missing.

[RKP5637]

29. I updated it! n/t

[jalan48]

26. Asian countries seem to be leading the pack on this one.

[stmac]

27. In my experience it is often the case that the higher the claimed IQ...

The bigger the @sshole the claimer is. Case in point:

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.washingtonpost.com/amphtml/news/retropolis/wp/2018/01/07/trump-says-hes-a-genius-a-study-found-these-other-presidents-actually-were/

[still_one]

30. That analysis is bullshit. The US is a melting pot, and the difference between 108 and 98 means

very little. Some of the most intelligent folks are from India, and it is ranked way below the US

A lot of factors come into play, especially socio-economic factors

This comes too close to the Shockley bullshit.

IQ is not the best measure of intelligence or ability

[RKP5637]

31. I agree 100%! I think I'll just delete it now. n/t
