ON INTELLIGENCE AND CHARACTER IN POPULATIONS

(it’s all domestication)

IQ = Intelligence Quotient. Meaning the weighted test of demonstrated velocity of problem solving and knowledge accumulation, in both the spatial-temporal and verbal articulation abilities – which while a subset of the (large, perhaps 80-ish) number of various capabilities of the human brain, appears to provide a marginally indifferent measure – apparently because all other abilities seem to scale roughly with those two.

Moreover, for reasons we are beginning to understand, the distribution of sexual dimorphism (androgens), and the degree of paedomorphic domestication, seems to influence the distribution of these talents in each population with feminine verbal skill and greater number of tasks and male greater spatial skill and greater specialization being general trends both of which are visible in prevalence of female solipsism and male autism. So if we control for sexual dimorphism, we control for depth and rate of sexual maturity, and we control for the success and shrinking the underclasses through agrarianism and climate, we seem to provide a sufficient explanation of the differences in all races and tribes and classes and genders by fairly simple selection processes whereby our cultural habits have greater and more rapid evolutionary dynamics than random mutation or (minimal if at all) epigenetic mutation.

In other words, we’ve been domesticating each other for a couple million years, thereby incrementally delaying or limiting maturity, and then selecting for male or female(Slavic and northern European and Chinese) and male (African and middle eastern, and steppe) biases based largely upon climate, disease gradient, and means of agrarian production.

And it seems that through selection and eugenics (aggressive hanging in the west, and aggressive killing in the east) plus the softer eugenics of diligence required for both rice farming and farming through 50th latitude winters, plus the western delay of reproduction until able to obtain access to land under manorialism – allowing women to work – at least since the 700’s if not 1500bc, that some groups have just been superior at limiting their underclasses, while redistributing reproduction upward to their middle (genetic, not economic) classes.

The universe operates by very simple rules. We just make excuses for what’s necessary in the circumstance and call it ‘moral’.
