Why isn’t subsaharan Africa or Arab or steppe aggression+IQ a superior evolutionary strategy? East and West resisting them for millennia.

Peak Human: Gould was right. Intelligence is a weak, expensive advantage. Reproduction and aggression win. An 80 IQ is optimum for both.

@SteveFriess @ThomasEWoods Argument to relativism. Argument to distraction. Sensation(impulse) and sense(reason) are opposites….

What Steve means is that some people pursue their genetic interests impulsively, and others rationally. 😉

.@ThomasEWoods that’s *your* “strategy.” Some people don’t choose their activities on strategy – they do it on what they believe.

THE PROBLEM OF INTELLIGENCE
Those who have no ability but are aware enough to resent it: 80’s
Those who can learn by imitating others: 90’s
Those who can learn by reading the words of others: 100’s
Those who can master calculations and judge the words of others: 110’s
Those who can master independent research without instruction: 120’s
Those who can synthesize and communicate ideas: 130’s
Those who can invent new ideas: 140’s
Yet this this transition from knowledge accumulation to knowledge production does not make all of life. It merely tells us that in any distribution of people that there are difficult limits to overcome in the construction of a harmonious, survivable, and competitive polity.
PS: I believe this is the correct method of describing differences in intelligence.

The Journey
I would rather invest in a moral man regardless of his abilities than invest in intelligent men regardless of his morality. We call it humility but it can also be described as endlessness. There are those of us who wish to be done and those of us who wish to journey. And it is only the latter who have any chance. One can be wise because of life’s lessons. Or one can possess traits of the wise despite lacking those lessons. The wise recognize the behavior no matter how it was learned: by accident or by trial and error. It matters not your age it matters only that you possess humility and discipline.

Sometimes, we must make hard choices.
Sometimes we must make hard choices. Because there are no easy choices left to make. When we do, that which we valued above all the day before, we may not value the day after. I am as much a fool as any other fellow. My folly is in things that others find trivial. Just as others folly is in things I find trivial. But I am as guilty of folly as the next man.
