Outside the ordered universe is that amorphous blight of nethermost confusion which blasphemes and bubbles at the center of all infinity—the boundless daemon sultan Azathoth, whose name no lips dare speak aloud, and who gnaws hungrily in inconceivable, unlighted chambers beyond time and space amidst the muffled, maddening beating of vile drums and the thin monotonous whine of accursed flutes.

Re: Average IQ by country 2012
That survey seems to bear no relation to reality. It's probably extrapolating average national IQ from limited sets of academic test data. Bias and skewing a-go-go.Azathoth wrote:Countries With The Lowest Average IQ

Below 85 use to be classified as mentally retarded, but since that put half of African Americans in that category they complained and in 1973 it was changed to 70.Azathoth wrote:Countries With The Lowest Average IQ

An 85 IQ is around the minimum needed to get a high school diploma assuming it isn't dumbed down, and that not coincidentally is near their HS graduation rate.
I know some people doubt the validity of IQ tests, but those low IQ scores for those countries certainly would explain why they are such a mess.
A rational skeptic should be able to discuss and debate anything, no matter how much they may personally disagree with that point of view. Discussing a subject is not agreeing with it, but understanding it.

Re: Average IQ by country 2012
Those allegedly low IQ countries, haven't they all had major famine and/or civil wars recently?
What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

There are also reaction time based IQ tests.

You've got the causality arseways.

The countries are a mess because their average IQ is so low. Really, what would you envision a low IQ country to be like
