    Dysgenic fertility for intelligence and education in Taiwan

    HIGHLIGHTS
    • Taiwan genotypic intelligence declined by about 1.19 IQ points per generation.
    •The decline is much stronger for the younger adult cohort.
    •Results also show the dysgenic fertility for education and non-cognitive factors.

    Abstract
    This study investigated the current trend of dysgenic fertility in Taiwan. Data on 680 adults aged 35 to 90 years from the Taiwan WAIS-IV norming sample and 980 children aged 2.5 to 7 years from the Taiwan WPPSI-IV norming sample were examined to investigate the relationships between intelligence, education, and fertility. Results revealed that education and intelligence were negatively correlated with fertility, and that the correlations were stronger for females. The genotypic intelligence is estimated to decline by approximately 1.19 IQ points per generation and the decline is much stronger for the younger adult cohort (1.46 IQ points) than for the older adult cohort (1.02 IQ points).

    Evidence of Dysgenic Fertility in China

    https://doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2016.04.001

    Highlights
    •Evidence of dysgenic fertility in China for both intelligence and educational attainment was found.
    •The strength of recent selection against intelligence rose between the 1960s and the mid-1980s.
    •The estimated decline owing to dysgenic fertility came out to .31 points per decade between 1986 and 2000.

    Abstract
    The relationship between fertility, intelligence, and education was examined in China using a large sample sourced from the population-representative China Family Panel Studies (CFPS) dataset. For the 1951–1970 birth cohort, the correlation between fertility and gf was −.10. The strength of recent selection against gf in China substantially increased between the 1960s and the mid-1980s. Later (between 1986 and 2000), the speed of decline in gf due to selection stabilized at about .31 points per decade with a slightly downward trend. The total loss from 1971 to 2000 due to dysgenic fertility is estimated to be .75 points. A negative relationship between educational attainment and fertility was additionally found. Both negative relations were stronger for women.

    The negative Flynn Effect: A systematic literature review

    doi.org/10.1016/j.intell.2016.10.002Get rights and content

    Highlights
    •We conducted a systematic literature review of the negative Flynn effect.
    •A negative Flynn effect was reported in 9 studies (comprising 7 countries).
    •Immigration, sex ratio, and dysgenic fertility were discussed as possible causes.
    •Findings on IQ decline are discussed in light of the literature on IQ increase.

    Abstract
    The Flynn Effect (rising performance on intelligence tests in the general population over time) is now an established phenomenon in many developed and less developed countries. Recently, evidence has begun to amass that the Flynn Effect has gone into reverse; the so-called ‘Negative Flynn Effect.’

    In this study, we present a systematic literature review, conducted in order to discover in precisely how many countries this reverse phenomenon has been uncovered. Using strict criteria regarding quality of the sample and the study, we found nine studies reporting negative Flynn Effects in seven countries. We also discuss several possible explanations for the negative Flynn Effect as an attempt to understand its most probable causes.

  • We just need to privatize and re-professionalize teaching, and have parents hire

    —We just need to privatize and re-professionalize teaching, and have parents hire teachers they way they hired pastors (the teachers of the past). The problem is very simple. schools are a monopoly hiring teachers at a discount, and consuming the revenue in rents at all levels, when the teachers are not often people with real world experience (or ability), and they pair teachers and students depriving parents of paying for and getting teachers that they want. In other words, the socialized school system (rather than subsidized) is a non market organization producing non-market ends.—

    THE CONTINENTAL SYSTEM IS BETTER AT RESTRUCTURING

    —“Trump just said it’s fine with him if China stops trading with the U.S. He had better hope China doesn’t take him up on his offer. Retail sales and the stock market would plunge, layoffs would soon follow, and both consumer prices and long-term interest rates would surge.”–@PeterSchiff

    They would only plunge long enough for the capital to reorganize to seize the available opportunities – which are vast – as are the returns. This is why the Continental order is better – they can hold policy over twelve or more years: long enough to reorganize a malinvestment.

    UNWED MOTHERS STATS (NOTICE MAP TO IQ DISTRIBUTION)
    via A New Radical Centrism

    A two-parent family is a known factor in producing positive outcomes in society. Therefore, these percentages, which continue to increase, are discouraging.

    Percentage of births in the US to unwed mothers:

    Blacks, 77%
    Hispanic immigrants, 49%
    Whites, 30%
    Asians, 27%.

    (You’ll notice that the figure for Asian immigrants is much lower than for Asians overall.)

    WE DO ARGUMENT HERE. SCIENCE, REASON, RECIPROCITY

    I teach Natural Law. I teach argument. Disapproval is not argument.

    We DON’T do “GSRRM”: gossiping, shaming, ridicule, rallying, moralizing, disapproval, undermining and reputation destruction INSTEAD of argument.

    Because reason, not emotion, is what sets us apart from animals.

    So,
    – no Pseudoscience,
    – no Supernaturalism,
    – no Sophism,
    – no NAXALT,
    – no GSRRM,
    – no Memes,
    – no Irreciprocity (parasitism)..

    … Just Science, Reason and Reciprocity.

    Men argue with truth and falsehood, and woman argue with approval or disapproval.

    Know what you’re doing.

    YES I PLAY A GAME WITH PEOPLE.

    Yes I play a game with people. The game is to make people happy. To feel good about themselves. To encourage them. To help them fulfill their ambitions. To make them laugh. To educate them if I can. To plant seeds for later consideration if I can’t. You should try it rather than bitching, whining, disapproving, and hating others for being a better person than you are, and thereby creating a better world than you do.
