No dummy. If you knew the history of your own species, you would know where that number comes from…we call it anthropology. Not my job to educate you.
Regarding the innovation tangent, one theory is that while Asians have higher mean IQ, Whites have higher standard deviation (and it’s of course the extreme IQ outliers that do all the innovating). Another theory is that natural disaster or disease set them back and that this is in the process of correcting. We don’t actually know the answer to this question. Also, Asia does not VALUE individuals thinking outside the box, it values individuals blending in with the team. Anyhow, if we look at patents as being innovation, this thrend has been changing (more and more patents coming from Asia).
Anyhow, it’s good to see there are some sane people here to see this “correcting” is nuts. I’ve worked with total retards in very high up positions, and we all knew how they got the job. It’s really costly to the company, we all had to work around them and keep them from destroying the company with their idiotic ideas and embarrassing statements in critical meetings (these people don’t seem to know they don’t belong there, and actually believe they got there on merit!!).
You seem as if you need to prove something to everyone. You’re extremely defensive and juvenile in many of your replies (in this thread at least).
If everybody belongs to the same region/religion/caste/creed - diversification benefits are lost, isnt it? Group thinking, no innovation etc…
Hence the reason why different colleges look for candidates from diverse backgrounds and limit if certain % of group is having a majority.
And I dont know why innovations are so low from Asia, and why Asians start innovating more (more than what they do) from outside of Asia.
The U.S. spends the most on R&D and a good handful of talented Asians come to the U.S. to innovate within the confines of the U.S. China is 2nd, but many other countries spend far less.

^ Thanks mate for the data.
Just pointing out how things work, not interested in how that “seems”.
IQ is a product of nurture as much as nature so this argument as a stand alone without considering the background factors doesn’t have much ground to stand on.
I disagree.
I think we do. It’s repetitive but a vibrant economy is the backbone for innovation and it is documented that there was a lot of innovation in many parts of the world when they had the economic system to support it. It is not natural disasters which hampered innovation in China etc but a systematic breaking of their economy when they were forced to open their ports to various Colonial empires. The Japanese atrocity and the period of instability which followed did not help and as previously mentioned it is no coincidence that a resurgence in their economy is bringing about a changing trend in innovation.
East Asia? Agreed.
Entire Asia? Don’t think so. There are regions in Western and Southern Asia which are highly individualistic.
Agreed. We definitely live in interesting times.
Genetic intelligence in humans diverged over the last 40K years. That’s what this topic is all about; Americans want to “correct” evolution.
Forecast: it won’t work.
yes you must be right. diversification is indeed lost, because clearly the village idiot has a lot to offer simply because his skin is dark.

I’m laughing so hard at my desk, Itera.
Itera is so bitter, I’m guessing because he didn’t get into Harvard and brought shame on his family.
I think there is also some diversification in end result by admitting these black guys. They have a hire likelihood of going back to crappy neighborhoods to do feel good work. So, affirmative action can serve a similar purpose to scholarships for charity work.
I can’t really wrap my head around that. Seems like a black dude that makes it through med school would want to get away from the hood as quickly as possible.
No man, they feel connection to their origin. That’s why Harvard Law people like Obama go become community organizers as opposed to being Big Law associates. Also, if you think the black graduates don’t want to go back to those places, you can 100% bet that the non-associated Asian guy or whoever is going nowhere near those places, ever.
I suppose we don’t count the truly horrible neighborhoods where people get shot every day - just the “sort of bad” places.
^How many black celebrities still live in the ghetto or set up businesses there? Sure, some do some charity work, but you don’t hear too many stories about Master P opening up businesses in the hood. They make their money and get the hell out.
True, all else equal, they would be more likely to help out the neighborhood from which they came. But, I think the doctors that actually hang a shingle in bad neighborhoods are those that can’t catch on at a nice practice, regardless of race.
lol, you mad bro?
Thats something for the colleges to answer itera. The colleges dont believe dark skinned villagers are all idiots - the college just picks up the best available candidates from each race/cast/creed based on some % they have. The key reason they claim is diversification benefits.

Mayo is a great place. Top reputation and I have heard very good things.
