Are Americans the dumbest people on earth?

[imperiouskitten]

I do often have nightmare thoughts about just how dumb the average person is. like when I look around, I don't see many people at all who clearly "deserve" a 1st world lifestyle over others. like how can u keep this thing going and expect to retain a nice quality of life if it produces consumobots only, who aren't even really empire-forged in any meaningful sense despite nationality and indeed are far LESS skillful than indians in garages making tires out of tree bark. Plus how volatile a force these dumbies are, and the lack of testing on how they are effected by newfangled info streamz (plus unregulated exploitation of said streams).

I mean, yall are ready to go to war if the world wrongs u by zeroing ur checking acct, as per the "survive homeless in new city" thread [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.] like go ask for help bro. lot of ape rage simmering even in us thoughtful posters.

New information streams is one thing, but most of them can't even psychologically rise above alcoholism or drug addiction, and the abject poverty and squalid living it invites.

Imagine being a liberal and prescribing to the idea that IQs are meaningful. The entire system was literally designed to denigrate POC. Without using Google, most of the people who throw around the term "IQ" have no idea what IQ even stands for. I love these types of people in real-life. They brag about how smart they are, and yet go completely silent when you ask them what IQ stands for since they are so smart.

A smart person would not brag about having a high IQ. They would begin to do research on the term and discover if it's important. Only a dumb person would accept being told they are smart based on a system and terminology they don't even understand.

Intelligence quotient is a measure of how quickly one identifies, applies, and synthesizes newly encountered patterns/materials. It's not a measure of what one knows, although the brevity of one's knowledge base is also indicative of their IQ. (I.e. if you "learn" faster, and apply the same time/effort toward "learning" compared to someone who learns slower, you will exponentially "outlearn" them as time goes on, this have a larger knowledge base from which to draw from)

The only matter in which one can dismiss IQ assessment, is in the event that the assessed is absolutely averse to learning/participating in general, and then is assessed on retention and ability to synthesize new material. This is the argument against why low IQ demographics are scoring low, and it is quite overstated, as pattern recognition tests are the primary method used in assessing IQ these days, yet still show the same disparities.

Rates of violence and poverty at all time lows

We are duped into believing we’re surrounded by violent, mindless, conspiratorial dumb asses. That’s how sensationalist media works. It’s actually the best time in our recorded history to be alive, and despite the best efforts of a few shitlords, that probably won’t change. All you can do is what your father told you. “Do your best.” That’s how dad did it. That’s how America does it

Who is the intelligence quoting? Some smart guy?
