You do realize that starvation leads to a lower IQ and the nations on the right have or are suffering food shortages.

And another thing: Socialism kills.

why would anyone limit a complex phenomenon to a single factor?

>implying colombia is a good place to live
>implying east germany isnt an outlier due to losing a world war and getting occupied by bolsheviks

Just a random observation that comes to my mind when this subject comes up:

IQ is not really a measure of capability - which is the principle factor that governs the advancement of society. You can get an entire room full of people with IQ's of 200 and pack them together, and yet if they are all addicted to video games, or drugs, or some other degenerate human-capital killing hobby, they are going to still live like either savages or chronic underachievers.

Society is changed by the man who builds and creates with his mind, and hands. If you have a wicked high IQ but no drive or capability to create, then you are as useless as somebody with an IQ of 10 because the functional products of your existence are still the same.

Why are they suffering food shortages? Because they're high-IQ?

The best factor that measures the wealth of a nation is the free market and economic freedom.

Chile is composed of indigenous and is advancing much economically and socially.

>Venezuela
Socialism
>N.Korea
Nation destroyed by a war then rebuilt by a competent leader despite communism, problem is his heir where and are retarded and compounded with communism it led to food shortages.

>East Germany

Battle ground of a full on total war(Eastern Front was completely different from the west), Communism installed by a foreign power and then draining money out of East Germany.

>Zimbabwe

Dindu nuffing mad at white after a war so he punishes all the whitey farmers till they die or leave and whoops no more food since no more farmers.

I just know that niggers and mudslimes are savages, which makes for a very simple explanation of Africa.

I think all countries of Africa are socialists.

Latin America was practically all socialist until a few years ago (governments were replaced by center-right (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, etc)

Eastern Europe was socialist.

Socialism = poverty

Can somebody aware me as to why Botswana and Angola aren't African shitholes despite being African?

Are you saying niggers are the problem?

Isn't Zimbabwe commie tho?

IQ is like the "limiting factor" to a civilization's rate of progress.

For instance China went from similar economy to most sub saharan african countries to now $10,000+ GDP per person in a short time span.

This is because higher IQ people can solve problems at a faster rate and with better solutions on average.

This is like a "rate of change" factor and below a certain amount basically limits a country. For instance the potential of a 80 IQ avg African country to reach 20k+ gdp is very low.

Of course it depends if people can even use their IQ, so a top down dictatorship obviously squelches the effects of IQ.

Cool cherry picking faggot.

AYO HOL UP
SO U BE SAYIN
THAT
AYO
SO U BE SAYING THAT

U BE SAYING THAT
COMMUNISM MAKES COUNTRIES POOR?

Cause they are led by the competent people aka not the Dindus.

>implying IQ cannot be improved

I have a pretty high IQ but the only way to turlly unlock the potential IQ holds is to nourish your mind and body through love and knowledge the more you combine the two the further your wisdom broadens. With this your IQ is sure to rise as well.

In part these seems to be correlation, but then again IQ isn't fully inherited so IQ is also influenced by the quality of life.

For starters unlike most countries in Africa Botswana only has a population of 2 million. One of the smallest pops on the planet and I think the smallest in Africa. Highest sub Saharan GDP. Their presidency has been a sort of monarchy even though its democratic. The first pres was also the legitimate claimant to chiefship. Country is fully Christian. Its considered the least corrupt country in Africa. The demographics put them at 80% Tswana so this is essentially another instance of homogeneous culture+lack of corruption/transparent+rule of law = success.

An abstract understanding of this concept is imagine a machine consisting of "rules" which dictate how it functions..
IQ is the ability to come up with new rules.
The machine itself can contain rules which stop these new rules from being implemented, or which focuses the IQ on certain taks.

If the machine tasks the IQ with say religious constraints or ideological constraints, it can squelch the machine becoming more efficient.

If the machine tasks the IQ properly, say with science and free markets, it can improve the ruleset more rapidly.

There also becomes the factor that certain IQ can gain more or less power.

Basically the machine assigning the IQ certain abilities to create new rules become incredibly important.

So yes, how brainpower gets access to rule changing power is very important. Brainpower itself is still incredibly important. It's again, why China is able to surpass the growth of African nations or India.

WE

Most accurate predictions I have seen also show the following

A 10-15 avg IQ point increase across a society will improve the economy by about 6x. So for instance if America magically had +30 AVG IQ over the past 20 years, the GDP per person would be at about 1.8 million dollars per person.

Botswana is an Aids ridden shithole. Their GDP is relativly high because of a small population and natural resources, but their HDI is still nigger tier.

>East Germany

Relevant analysis.

TL:DW: Removing a few countries enriched by abundance of natural resources and others crushed by communism, gives us a strong and undeniable correlation.

>that Singapore

I don't think its a thesis. At this point its almost an established fact. The correlation is so high you can't deny the role it plays. Its not everything but its pretty important.

A Swiss man like OP has never had to deal with low IQ people.

My IQ is between 110 (mathematical test) and 136 (math + language), which is far from high, and I find it almost impossible to talk with the average Brazilian. I am very kind and gentle to them, but I have to say their mind works very slowly: they have difficulty in noticing patterns and in giving alternative explanations to facts, so this makes them very dumb indeed - plus, they almost never can express themselves in the right words.

Low IQ has dozens of implications. Example: being able to notice patterns is ESSENTIAL for learning another language. I am so good with language that I can read French, Italian, Spanish and Catalan without ever having spent one single minute in a classroom learning those languages, while most Brazilians have to spend many hours in order to read them as well as I do. My secret? I have a good memory for vocabulary, and I can recognize patterns very fast - if a French word is even remotely related to a Catalan word that is remotely related to a 15th-century Portuguese word, then I will probably guess the meaning of the French one. Most Brazilians won't: they will need a dictionary, and will soon get tired.

Also, having high IQ is not ALL good, because it tends to make you lazy, unless you are surrounded by smart people. This is what I usually see in Brazilian imageboards: smart lazy people. You go to school, you go to uni, and everything there is so easy for you that you never learn to make an effort in order to achieve things. This is why contemporary researchers say that, if you want to praise your kid, you should praise their effort rather than their intelligence.

Huh. Do you consider moving away from those people?

Your argument is akin to pointing out a female body builder lifting serious weight to dismiss the "bullshit claim" that men are stronger than women.

As soon as I finish Law school.

The thing I hate the most about low IQ people is that they are very bad at building models for action. If I have to do group work for uni, for example, I will plan everything out - the presentation, the way in which we will explore the themes - in a few seconds. Meanwhile, the others will want ot have their voices heard, but will take a lot minutes until they finally offer a good idea. This is why I always work alone if I can.

But it is in every country, is not it? It should not be different in another developed country (excluding some, perhaps Japan?).

I have noticed that the average Brazilian has been very interested in discussing politics.

My IQ tests are in this medium (110~130) as well.

Pic of Botswana is actually Tunis, nerds

Tu es capable d'écrire en Français, José? C’est pourquoi l’homme qui aime tombe de haut et est même effrayé lorsqu’il
a la révélation que si la femme est belle, elle n’est pas pour autant morale, qu’il accuse
la nature de mensonge d’avoir mis “dans un corps si beau tant d’abjection”, sans
songer que s’il trouve encore belle la femme qu’il aime, c’est précisément parce qu’il
l’aime encore : car autrement, il ne souffrirait plus de cette apparente contradiction
entre l’extérieur et l’intérieur. La femme qui fait le trottoir n’apparaît par là-même
jamais belle, car il est impossible d’opérer sur elle une projection de valeur ; elle ne
peut satisfaire le goût que de l’homme le plus vulgaire, elle est l’amante de l’homme
antimoral par excellence, le souteneur. On a là un rapport qui, de toute évidence, est
l’inverse du rapport moral normal ; mais la femme n’est en général qu’indifférente à
tout ce qui est éthique, elle est en effet amorale et peut donc, à la différence du
criminel qui lui, est immoral et que d’instinct personne n’aime, ou de l’esprit du mal,
qu’on se représente comme haïssable, servir de support à cette sorte de transfert ;
comme elle n’agit ni bien ni mal, rien ne s’oppose en elle au déplacement sur sa
personne d’un idéal. La beauté féminine n’est certes que la moralité devenue visible,
mais cette moralité est celle de l’homme, qui en a transposé la perfection dans la
figure de la femme.

Jesus Christ lol, this guys thinks all of China is like Hong Kong and ignores the mainland country full of dumb farmers shitting in their rice fields

How many tiny dick stormweenies live on Sup Forums now? This entire thread is some high tier retardation.

White and asian people have the highest IQs and we've always had better quality lives than low IQ savages so it must be true.

You dumb fucks

It's all about how much money there is in the system

You ever wonder why US and france can look 1st world and have the best infrastructure even when they're full of shitskins/mudslimes while 100% white eastern european countries look poor? It's because the money was already accumulated in those systems and the eastern ones haven't built it up. It's all the same money stuck in the system and all you're seeing is the same dough changing hands.

If you have an educated, civilized capitalistic society and you incentive it from the start (like the marshall plan or the eu gibs for eastern europe) the money will inevitably flow to these systems and their standard will rise proportionally. Conversely when rich societies stop exporting and increasing that systemic baseline of wealth, the capital flows elsewhere. It can be to other rich cunts or emerging ones, it doesn't matter. Once it's gone it's gone. See what happened to Detroit, when it was the richest city in the world during the 30's auto boom.

It's only a matter of time before all of eastern europe and east asia is rich, this is not even a question of if.

N'oublie pas que les Frenchies sont plus intelligents que les squareheads au Canada...

Arrange the images so there are two axes. IQ + Capitalism is the ideal.

You only need a few smart people to raise up a country, dumbass

No, I can't write French yet, because it takes more than pattern recognition. It takes willpower, which I lack.

As for the above quotation, isn't the spirit of evil already present in the indifference towards morality, considering that the woman CAN grasp the concepts of morality? Women are not insects: they can understand the difference between good and evil.

My IQ has tested consistently between 138 and 143. I'm a college drop out, I hate everything, and my life is shit.

It is logical that the country is not perfect, but in the long run can become a good country

This is the point. A country is in deep shit now, but if it has been improving significantly the indicators and the long-term projection is that it will become a good country you need to consider it

eight randomass pictures prove nothing. IQ and prosperity can easily be shown to have a correlation if you sample the whole planet

Lol Colombia is a hellhole where drugs rule the population or either kill them at instance.

Yeah, I'm sure Colombia, Botswana and Germany totally fit in the same category.

>Women are not insects: they can understand the difference between good and evil.

Comme je vois, vous surestimer les femelles au Brésil...j'imagine que ça l'explique votre pauvreté...

>squareheads

Is this also a meme in Canada? We have a 'round heads' meme in Brazil. The subject of said meme are the people from the Northeast. I think it's unfair, because their heads are not particulary rounded.

The average IQ of a Brazilian is 87, according to Wikipedia (too lazy to look for other stats). The average IQ of an European is probably about 100. It's much higher.

You can cherry-pick a few outliers, but the correlation between wealth and IQ holds extremely well on the global scale.

>every country on the right living of subsidies

State intervention explains it, Pierre.

Juste au Québec, les Français appelle les anglos, tete carré...

keked

I have high IQ (130) and I only think about killing myself. I'm antisocial in the extreme

I don't think a bunch of video game nerds are gonna start murdering eachother with machetes.
They like the civilization games. I'm sure most of them will be happy to have some excitement in their lives. You know, having to defend something. That's what I'm waiting for after the collapse. I want to unite the expendable goys who see through the system and segregate ourselves with tribalistic ideals

Oui, ça n'a rien à voir avec le fait que 75% de votre population sont des pardos ou mulattos....

sage

it's because you have no wisdom, only divisive, dualistic thinking and objective knowledge.

low IQ I guess

lol

Well, in a sense, maybe you're right. I suppose it's probably true that white and Asian women may lower the overall population's IQ by means of race-mixing, and thus reduce our chances of becoming a more prosperous nation.

Still, I think it has much more to do with state intervantion. Brazil has some potential, but it's not exploited. It's bloody hard to start a business here.

this, often observed in so called "intellectuals". Mostly due to young age though.
every fucker can use google translate, also you are not high IQ if you can't develop willpower

I think nobody actually believe that.

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of factors that influence the quality of life. What many 'controversial' researchers do state, however, is that IQ is one of the most important of such factors. I suppose I agree, but this is only out of common sense and anecdotal evidence, as I haven't actually bothered to read any of their studies, since I don't particularly care about other people's quality of life in the first place.

This is actually true, the mass aid that gets sent to Africa is actually fucking it over because it wrecks the local economy. Farmers can't sell their products if everyone just gets a free aid package, which means the economy never gets off the starting line.

You'd fit right in some of those, what with the excessive cherry picking.
Korea's and Germany's are a comparison between countries that are/were not drained by Russia.
You are also comparing photos of urbanized areas with ruined shops .
The last one is best, Zimbabwe's problems are a single occurrence of problems, since Mugabe banished white farmers, so you're kind of defeating your own point here.

>every fucker can use google translate, also you are not high IQ if you can't develop willpower


But I didn't; and IQ doesn't measure willpower, as most tests can be completed in a matter of minutes.

All the ones on the right are socialist lol

willpower does not equal endurance
instead of musing about your IQ, how about using it?

Institutions, swissbro. Political and economic institutions.
