Recently I’ve found it to be highly taboo to talk about IQ score differences between races. Wikipedia states that race is a social construct so such differences cannot exist. But we all see physical differences and test scores clearly demonstrate a difference in IQs.

I have sources for this graph, does anyone have any contradicting sources?

For example if adopted children have the same IQ score as their parents to show that IQ is more of a social construct?

To what extent do you think IQ is social verses genetic?

    Subjecting others seems like it would take a large feat of intelligence seeing how most people don’t like being told what to do.

    I think the blatant stupidity of kings past serves to debunk that

    neither capitalism nor democracy promotes intelligence unfortunately.

      kings were often killed by close family members if they proved to be to unstable. Many were very intelligent. Obviously some made the mistake of marrying cousins.

      Capitalism often favors intelligence. Just like natural selection. It takes a high degree of intelligence to understand what to invest your money in.

        Capitalism often favors intelligence.

        This is what capitalists want you to think, just like how kings passed off the “god chose us” lie. in reality they’re mostly psychopaths who inherited everything.

        You should make this a separate debate post if you want to continue that debate.
