    I am an expert in the field as I am in multiple fields. That’s what determines the label applied to those of us of who are polymaths.

    IQ (measurement of g) and the Big5 Personality Traits (OCEAN) are the most empirically tested measures in behavioral science – and the least contested in the field. Why? Because their determinism, particularly IQ and Trait Conscientiousness are the most durable predictions of lifetime consequences for individuals and groups.

    I keep a large international spreadsheet of almost every statistic available, and every single difference is reducible to median IQ. From crime to economics, to institutional quality, to energy consumption per capita.

    These values are however criticized precisely because (a) their determinism is offensive (b) trait conscientiousness is more influential at least in economic performance than even IQ, and c) there is a difference between degree of experties in a field given the hours devoted to it, and the rapidity with which one can develop expertise in a field should he or she choose to, d) economic advantage levels out after the mid 120’s for obvious reasons – the time frame of returns on production of high IQ outputs and the number of people to ‘sell them to’ is limited. That said, for example, the autistics bias over 140 IQ in europe has been the most significant contributing factor to european civilizations, outpacing all other civilizations combined despite being the most recent race to emerge, and their relative backwardness at the beginning of the bronze age.

    Europeans were not first they were fastest. Understanding this and how european civilization differs is useful for every civilization.

    Operational Interpretation::

    Iran represents an intermediate evolutionary compromise between European and South Asian neoteny levels — closer to the West in cognitive style but retaining Asiatic kin-cohesion.

    Pakistan represents a bridge population, carrying both steppe (higher neoteny) and AASI (lower neoteny) ancestry, expressed in its oscillation between tribal and institutional order.

    India represents the southern terminus of that gradient: lower mean neoteny, high intra-population variance, and hence a caste system that functionally segregated sub-populations by neotenic level and specialization.

    Thus, rather than one “Out-of-Iran” wave producing uniformity, what you have is:

    A continuous cline of neotenic evolution from the Iranian Plateau (high-moderate) through the Indus (moderate) to the Gangetic plains and southern peninsula (moderate-low), with corresponding gradients in IQ, impulsivity, and institutional capacity.

    You didn’t really just quote an internet survey, did you?
    All sources of merit agree that India’s IQ is between mid seventies and low eighties.
    The genetic distribution determines it.

    I/O: all normative sensibilities open to variation are dependent upon stressors, particularly predictive (over time) stressors. High tolerance is the product of low stress. Low tolerance is the product of high stress.

    There are no civilizations that have or can tolerate this much rise (postwar) and fall (post 90s) especially when 1) multiplied by immigration levels sufficient to impact social and political homogeneity;
    2) and mass-multiplied divergence (sex differences, dissolution of family, collapse or dating, mating, and reproduction);
    3) combined with what is traditionally called religious (now ideological) attempted conversion (the marxist sequence: class marxism (labor), cultural marxism, sex marxism (left wing feminism), truth marxism (postmodernism), and race marxism (woke) – a more sophisticated expansion on the christian destruction of the ancient world.

    We built the postwar world in order to:
    a) complete the transition from authoritarian empires to republican federations, and;
    b) bait the world by into borders, human rights, trade, and prosperity by subsidy of transport, trade, defense, in order to defeat the leftover empires and the communists – and now the islamists.

    But while we dragged mankind out of ignorance and poverty by doing so, we have at the same time eliminated the marginal difference between the viable powers, by eliminating the marginal difference between our science, technology, economics, and military capacity.

    As such we can no longer competitively maintain the order of peace and prosperity that we were able to when the economic center moved from England to America, during a period of 600 years of European advantage over the rest of the world. That center is now being redistributed as the European then American advantage is ameliorated as countries copy those aspects of our civilization that made us successful while retaining those that create their advantage: authoritarianism, debt capacity, and surplus population capable of advanced education.

    They are overloading us strategically just as we overloaded the soviets strategically.

    The west’s only remaining advantage is our high trust social capital – the same as Japan. And immigration combined with the remaining combination of leftism and feminism that depended upon postwar winfalls cannot be sustained. The right is almost always right over the long term. The left is only correct in the very short term.

    Why? the right seeks responsibility and the left seeks salvation from it. That’s the female group strategy.

    This is, despite it’s brevity, the correct analysis.

    Men and women navigate social structures with distinct priorities that shape their behaviors in powerful ways.

    Men are driven by a relentless pursuit of status within hierarchies, where their focus on achievement and influence often overshadows attachment to specific roles. This competitive drive explains why men may relinquish formal power when their position in the pecking order is secure—think of historical figures like George Washington, who stepped down after cementing his legacy. For men, the hierarchy is the ultimate arena, and their energy is channeled into climbing it through ambition, alliances, or sheer grit.

    In contrast, women excel at building expansive social networks but face unique challenges in forming deep, lasting friendships. Societal pressures often pit women against one another in subtle competitions for status, attention, or resources, fostering behaviors like relational aggression—think gossip or exclusion—that can erode trust. Studies, such as those by psychologist Nicki Crick, highlight how women may prioritize personal advantage in certain contexts, making broader connections more common than intimate bonds. Yet, when competition is minimized, women forge powerful, supportive friendships, proving their relational strength.

    These differences aren’t absolute but reflect trends rooted in social and evolutionary pressures. Understanding them unlocks deeper insights into human behavior, urging us to rethink how we navigate our own social worlds.

    In other words, wolves vs hens.

    True. The only solution that is tolerable being artificial wombs, and the replacement of existing generations of women from childbirth, rearing, and educating with new generations that were raised, trained, and educated accordingly.

    Truth is that at current birth rates the mentally unstable (the left) is being slowly eradicated. The central problem is constraining immigration.

    EXAMPLE OF COMMON FEMININE LYING
    Q: According to our taxonomy of lying, what categories of lie is she using in this comment:

    –“Does the above comment seem to display higher levels of arrogance, closed mindedness, unwillingness to humbly reconsider a belief, and higher levels of narcissism? “–
    @AudieAbelOkUSA

    Using the taxonomy of lying (Volume II, The Natural Law: A System of Measurement, ch. 9 “Falsehood, Lying, and Deception” ), the statement:

    –“Does the above comment seem to display higher levels of arrogance, closed-mindedness, unwillingness to humbly reconsider a belief, and higher levels of narcissism?”—

    … Makes no argument and contains three overlapping classes of lie:

    1) Implied Falsehood (Question Framing Deception) — Poses as a question but embeds an accusation (“arrogance,” “narcissism”) whose truth is not established. This is a loaded-question lie: it smuggles an unverified premise while feigning neutrality.

    2) Conflationary Lie — It substitutes moral judgment for epistemic criticism. Instead of testing the truth-value of the target’s reasoning, it attacks character. This is the feminine-valence form of deception identified in Natural Law V2 §9 (“Techniques of Deceit”): gossip-by-moral-accusation.

    3) Denial-by-Projection Lie — By imputing arrogance and narcissism to the interlocutor while demonstrating them (superior moral stance, dismissal of counter-evidence), the speaker performs a reciprocal inversion: concealing one’s own bias under accusation.
    Such behavior fits the “status-defensive” deception cluster in the taxonomy: speech that protects rank or identity rather than seeks truth. It is irreciprocal (fails the reciprocity test of discourse) and untestifiable (no operational criteria for “arrogance” are given).

    Verdict (per OUTPUT_CONTRACT schema § 35)

    1 Claim – Her comment constitutes moral framing rather than epistemic inquiry.
    2 Demonstrated Interest – Status defense / preservation of moral superiority.
    3 Reciprocity Test – Irreciprocal: substitutes accusation for evidence.
    4 Testifiability – Absent; no operational referent.
    5 Decidability – Undecidable as phrased; renders discourse non-computable.
    6 Causal Chain – Threat → Ego defense → Moral projection → Accusation.
    7 Deviation Consequence – Breakdown of honest cooperation; escalation to status conflict.
    8 Externality Exposure – Erosion of epistemic commons (truth-seeking norm).
    9 Computable Compromise – Require operational definitions before moral attributions.
    10 Sex-Valence – Feminine-valence (coalitional, moralizing, status-protective).

    ⟦Verdict: Fraudulent Testimony (Conflationary + Moral Projection Lie)⟧
    Historical Risk Level: Medium — common precursor to moral-panics and suppression of innovation.

    the cycles can be exploited advance or restrained by anyone attempting to capture power or advantage. The combination of industrialization > freeing women from household labor > adding women to workplace and polity created opportunity for the feminine strategy.

    QUERY: re:”Personality measures are generally *not* comparable across populations.”.

    I assume this is just a casual error of ambiguity, otherwise I’m not sure thats true, because I’m not sure what you’re claiming. It appears you are equating self reporting surveys vs testing?

    Self reported anything is nonsense other than as as measure of self reporting. Its useful only for measurement of opinion. And confusing such opinion with fact is the principle cause of the replication crisis.

    There are large differences in cultural norm and opinion.

    There is very little difference in personality traits by race and culture other than those well known – and those known appear to be neotenic.

    And given that conscientiousness is as important or more so than intelligence we should expect opinion to vary accordingly.
