Cleverness is not Intelligence: 3
It is somewhat funny to watch white men worry about the rise of ‘non-whites’ and in the same breath give a host of reasons on why ‘they’ will never win. I have a question-
Do the vast majority of people with supposedly ‘high IQ’ do anything original or useful for their “civilization” or “species”.
For all those white, and increasingly yellow and brown men, who gloat about their education and ‘test scores’.. what have you done in your life that justifies your pride in the scores of a few gerrymandered ‘tests’. The sad and unpalatable reality is that the vast majority of people, even those who are supposedly ‘high IQ’, will never do anything beyond steal, scam and lie to get more money.
Whether you do so by selling drugs, running “illegal” rackets or working in corporate law, practicing medicine or “managing”. You are all just scam artists, who have very marginal utility to continued human existence and progress.
The majority of your position in society is based on your luck and the willingness to continue shitting on others. It does not matter if your lucky break was an acquaintance in a housing project, neighborhood gangster or parents who went to harvard, princeton, wharton or any other “famous” university. It was a series of lucky breaks, not innate ability.
If you had real innate ability, it would have manifested itself through creating something new and at least semi-useful. But those who claim to be special due to their ‘high IQ’ are just rent seeking parasites whose major occupation in life is maintaining status quo.
You celebrate men like Leonardo da vinci, Michealangelo, Jules Verne, Mozart, Beethoven, Einstein, Schroedinger, Oppenheimer, Turing, Gauss, Fritz Haber, Wernher von Braun, Henry Ford, Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard, Steve Jobs, Sergey Brin but how many of you ‘high IQ’ types have ever done something similar to what they did? OK, maybe not that big.. but something? anything?
Your creativity and innovation is manifested through the creation of cartels, monopolies and stealing/ defrauding others. Yet you dare compare yourself with people who did something, just because they look like you.
If you want others to believe that you deserve your position in society because of your ‘high IQ’, do something that demonstrates your contribution to the endeavor. Nobody is stopping you, except yourself.
But you won’t do it because, in reality, you are incompetent. You are basking in the light of a few who can do it, rather like a minor asteroid is illuminated by the star it orbits. You may be made from the same stuff as that star, but you are a minor asteroid.
Deep down, you know that your contribution to civilization is no more than a ‘low IQ’ guy living in squalor.
So stop inventing new, and stupid, rationalizations for why you deserve it and that ‘other guy’ does not. Because that is what HBD and all that BS about ‘IQ’ is really about.
I feel honored.
I’d endorse this. But I’d also add that there’s something to HBD. I’m an HBDer, myself.
It’s just not the hard destiny many make it out to be.
Much of it, if not most, is due to good luck and an appropriate culture.
DA are you familiar with Malcolm Gladwell?
—-
yes.
Thought so. You have very Gladwellian beliefs when it comes to intelligence and outcomes.
I have no problem with what you write here, as long as you don’t pretend that you are any more deserving than they are.
You’re being obtuse again. Only one out of a hundred (for instance) high-IQ people produces anything along those lines. However, no low-IQ people do. Where’s the Bantu Richard Feynman? Therefore, a high-IQ society, though most of its high-IQ members do not produce such things, is creatively fertile, due to a small creative minority.

So why not incinerate the 99 ‘high IQ’ but unproductive ‘people’.
PS- The bantu have been around for longer than whites, and they very likely will be around long after all of you are gone.
Further, economically speaking, the work of a high-IQ drone, say, a general physician who just does his job, is more economically valuable than the work of a low-IQ drone, say, a janitor. If a high-IQ and a low IQ person are doing the same drone work for the same amount of time, the high-IQ one tends to be significantly better at it, producing more value. Extrapolate this to a society, where there’s a synergetic effect, and you see what happens.
—–
We could write a good computer program to replace the doctor and put him in an incinerator. It would save lots of money and reduce mistakes.
Finally, a population with a lot of high-IQ drones will have an intellectual environment more conducive to the development of the occasional high-IQ producer.

You do know that whites burnt witches and heretics right into the early 1600s.. right?
There’s not a lot of demand for PCs in the Mbuti society, average IQ 60. There’s a lot of demand for PCs in ours, mostly due to our love of porn, video games and arguing on the internet. How likely is a Mbuti born with an IQ of 160 to become a programmer while living in his society? How likely is he to stimulate his mind in abstract arguments with intelligent peers capable of understanding them? He’s probably just gonna invent a better snare or something.

It is your very argument for racial superiority that makes me insensitive to your destruction.
You Yanks, black and white are seriously fucked up.
I’m glad to see some arguments from you against “HBD” and its worship of the infalliable “g”/perfect IQ test.
Also many HBDers aren’t really interested in the scientific method or having a debate with the real scientists. They like it since they can point to Steve Sailer columns and such and say “See! I was right to know that black people and Mexicans were subhuman violent apes!”
The characteristics D.A. points out are the mark of the burned-out “ex-prodigy” who is prickly sensitive about his one accomplishment in life: high standardized test scores and a high IQ, whether actually measured or just imputed by other quizzes.
Out of topic, but here is a definition of an expert: knowledge (and ignorance) monopolist.
Here is a definition of a university: knowledge (and ignorance) cartel.
I like this one. However, your mythical return to african wilds whilst you rape white women won’t happen, for the simple fact that the chinese are buying up Africa and like dark meat better than white meat. Sucka.
