All the more reason we are seeing larger farms with fewer farm owners.
I have a grandfather who is a farmer, and he is smart. But farmers also make up only a fraction of the people where he lives in rural Arkansas....
No, I simply ducked the ridiculous arguments that crop up around whether or not "intelligence" is something measurable. No, not at all, I am...
Again, IQ scores and education are highly correlated. The relevance of other countries is that you can see how IQ scores and educations systems...
I think you would be hard-pressed to find any country in the world with a population with low IQ scores that manages to be better in any of these...
I think that imposing pressures in some form of eugenics- nothing so extreme as sterilizing wide swaths of the public- is better than the state of...
Undoubtedly. Increasing baseline intelligence is a project that doesn't mean we stop improving our society in other ways, but one can hope that by...
Pursuing increases in baseline intelligence does not mean we then ignore the rest of life and stop learning from the best and brightest. Yet every...
Intelligence isn't increased by mobility, it's just moved. But yes, we have a dysgenic system that rewards less intelligent people, and a culture...

The point of this post is not to argue what constitutes "intelligence", or even what methods should be taken to increase intelligence. The method...

I responded to the contents of the video here:
I have a life and don't want to spend an hour digging up news stories from over two years ago. The book was about global world order, not...
