wtf why is most national IQ average below 100. 100 IQ is the literally global average.

This isn't a subject I've dug into, so if I'm off, hopefully someone more informed will correct me.

From my limited understanding: IQ scores generated by the most common IQ tests are scaled around a mean score of 100.

So to put it bluntly: the 100 IQ or mean IQs first determined by the Westerners who pioneered the concept decades, if not a century ago while principally working with Western sample populations is not representative of modern Indian intellects.

India doesn't need external enemies, it will crumble from within. The daily news is just inter-caste fights, religious tensions, crumbling environment and infrastructure, riots, gobar-class education.

Who needs enemy when we have scientists likes this?

Horrifyingly,human sacrifice is probably next during the coming heat wave to appease some "deity"(why not build dams,reservoirs,cleanup of rivers,etc???)

If the majority of Americans only live from paycheck to paycheck and they complain about how Chinese save money, aka they're not giving it to the US, who do you think is going to outlast who?

100 is the literal average. It is constantly updated to scale 100 to average. 100 today could be different from 100 50 years ago. But still, 100 is meant to be literal average/mean.

Ah,so much like so many "certain people" in Western society who says the fellow citizens/Chinese people who scrimp/save/invest in their childrens' education,pay off their houses/cars through hard work/frugality(not cheapness) and these losers say WE are somehow cheating them.

There seems to some misconception about a large population. They are assets but they are also liabilities. People forget the second part for some reason. If your system cannot effectively make use of all those people, they are liabilities since they still exist but do not contribute. There's a reason larger countries are harder to manage.

According to what GROK said, since India's birthrate is already below replacement, it has until 2040 to get it's crap together or it will miss it's chance. It's really only 15 years. It's not that long.

Not to say this is my personal answer to your question, but others have suggested that the situation in question (the condition of India v. the socioeconomics of Indian-Americans) is a result of selective immigration.

The argument is more or less that only the best and brightest Indians are usually able to immigrate to the West in general and the US in particular, and these "best and brightest Indians" and their progeny tend to outperform the average American.

On the other hand, the totality of average Indians are principally responsible for the current condition and future state of India, and the

This is a somewhat controversial position, but nevertheless worth considering.

70% of H1B visas go to Indians. I don't know why this isn't brought up more. Sure some of them are for crap like 7/11 worker or bookkeeping clerk. But if I recall most of them are in white collar degree jobs related to IT. So when most Indian Americans who come in through a professional channel, isn't that going to naturally skew things when it comes to salary and income?

What's shocking is H1B visas pay a lot for tech and yet they are STILL undercutting the salaries of tech workers. So that means a native American tech worker basically earns a fuck load esp in silicon valley. Anyone in tech confirm if salaries are actually that high?

I remember vaguely something about this, as it happened a while ago, found the details some where else.



The EU sanctioned 5 Chinese parties. In retaliation the Chinese sanctioned 15 EU people and organizations in total.

Now I kind of remember more, I thought it was over the top, but liked it because it was so funny.

And genocide in Gaza is perfectly okay with these moralistic and ethical good guys…

Someone here posted those articles of US tech billionaires creating science and technology enclaves around the world so they don’t have to follow laws and be unrestricted in what they can do. Western laws not good enough for them but they demand them for their competition.

How achievable is that when Indians, Americans, Germans, Koreans, Brazilians and so on and so forth may or may not be taking identical IQ tests administered under identical conditions to begin with?!

Frankly, I'm not too sure what to tell you, but you could reach out to the of the directly.

Though what the author is stating should be pretty obvious: there's no equality in terms of average IQ across nations.

Now whether that is a result of culture or nurture or something else altogether or a combination thereof is a whole other can of worms . . .

1. That really depends on what you consider a "fuck load," especially relative to the cost of living in places like Silicon Valley.

2. Most "high earners" at American technology companies either have significant P&L responsibility or occupy senior roles that visibly impact P&L and/or a company's valuation. So most of their compensation isn't usually even in the form of a base salary to ensure interest alignment between a company's leadership and ownership.
