@evilgenius,
Our argument is about ability of given nation to build advanced society, or as *you* have called it "capitalist economy" or about ability of *average* member of other nation to integrate on the West and fruitfully contribute to civil life here, support himself etc.
What would happen "in the woods" is irrelevant in this context.
It is enough to say that an unfriendly adult chimp met in the woods, assuming you are unarmed, would prove to be a formidable adversary and would almost certainly defeat you with no effort at all.
The same hold true for an 12 year old child soldier of IQ 70 and armed with AK 47.
So yes, in the woods IQ might be of little relevance (albeit many H-G tribes often have surprisingly high one, perhaps due to extensive need of planning and complicated, tricky tasks during hunting).
However in western city IQ is an all important quality realiably indicating individual's prospects.
Regarding Islam and IQ - my believes are that embracement of Islam is causing IQ of affected nation to fall down. That is because Islam is discouraging thinking, is anticompetitive etc.
Too inteligent individuals in Islam are simply persecuted by the mob and they don't tend to do well.
We are going to see this effect on the West soon enough.
@Gas,
IQ argument is about average intelligence of nation, not about intelligence of a given individual.
You will meet many of Nigerians or Iraquis of IQ 130 and more. Average IQ of Nigerian or Iraqui is 85 but ~2% of them will get 115 and more - reasonably intelligent as per western standards.
Note: Every 15 points in IQ is 1 standard deviation - read about 68-95-99.7% rule or whatever they call it.They are those who are getting education, are being sent abroad using very limited resources which their nations still have and then they are getting *stolen* by the West in a process known as *brain drain* to immense detriment of host nations.
This is yet another form of colonialism btw.
However during mass unselected immigration practiced on the West now for every 1 nice doctor you are going to get ~20 morons who will always rely on crime or/and welfare, few drug dealers, half a dozen of rapists etc.
Have seen Muslim ghettos in the UK during my 10 years long stay there. For some reason they are often called "Moss Side".
Never attempted to park car there and my wife was prompting "drive away from this s*it ASAP, don't look around".
Mind you, she was also scared while driving by council estates where mainly *white degenerados* were living, so not only Muslims are bad.
This was 20 years ago and I only wonder, how it looks now...
@Newfie,
I hear a lot of news about building high tech western economy heavy relying on ever accelerating AI development, technological singularity in the making, ever expanding networks of ultrabroadband internet conections, 5G networks enabling Internet of Things, highly robotized industrial environment, driverless cars, robot run supermarkets with no humans at till and ask Elon Musk and Kaiser Jeep about the rest.
Now tell me, what those low skill *morons* indiscriminately imported by corpo and other "them" are going to do here?
Regarding China - it is entirely different thing to abandon suicidal social policy and import millions of alien peoples unfit to society anyway.
Meantime Sweden is hunting for dangerous murderer:
