So absolutely the blade is going to rust unused, aside from the occasional amazon box and the whole thing is going to hurt into a corroded piece of shit in your pocket. Just calling it now.

Oh wait it has $5 ceramic blades . . . with hipster glasses.

Fuck me.

Why do you think Haiti is suffering?

The quick and dirty is political instability and decades of absolutely trash governments.
A terrible Constitution which apparently is always being replaced.

But where do you want to stop the buck? Are we just going to ask "why answer X" after every given answer?

One of Trump's running points was tax reform

I don't really think he ran on any policy, which is probably why people were worried lol.

Immigration, opposing the TPP, and courting the rust belt.

One would think it would be the easiest to survive in, especially compared to Saharan Africa where water is a luxury.

Eh. Invasive species are typically characterized by doing well . . . too well in their new environments. Much to the detriment of the rest of the ecosystem.

i was addressing the few posters claiming africans had low IQ. because no they dont have low IQ.

IQ is a testable and measurable metric. You can't honestly just assert, "no they don't."

no one survives in sub saharan africa if they were borderline mentally handicapped. it takes a stroke of brilliance to survive in that environment.

Not all Africans live and have to survive in the bush and traditionally learned survival skills don't denote intelligence.
You're out of your element here.

IQ tests for a handful of these? if any? idk ive never taken one but i cant imagine the test covers every type of intelligence there is. so the IQ argument is thrown out the window and is usually pushed by people who dont know what theyre talking about.

You can't possibly think the different "types of intelligence" are equal in building a prosperous technological society do you?

That's a cop out.

It's an honest response to the false dichotomy that you've presented.

Is the average American smarter than the average Somalian because of natural intelligence or because one country isn't a wartorn failed state?

Again, both.

If some top tier European nation suddenly became extremely poor and unstable and an African nation became literal Wakanda, do you think the status quo would remain?

There is absolutely no point is this question and honestly, it's fucking sad that people like you even utter the word Wakanda in conversations about Africa, a fictional country conceived of by white men, that only succeeded because of magic and mysticism, and a physics breaking "ex machina" material. Jesus fucking Christ . . .

I think one of the IQ tests flaws is that it doesn't really gauge non-Western populations.

IQ tests that only test pattern recognition are about as non culturally biased as you can get.

He's probably confusing them with the rhetoric against SATs where they use words that "whites are more likely to be exposed to" like water polo or some shit.

Because the only people who ever make the argument are white idiots trying to prove how naturally inferior black people are.

Both sources I linked to put whites under East Asians and Jews on IQ. I don't think myself inferior because I'm white. Nor do I think blacks inferior, everyone should be judged as individuals and nobody gets credit for being the same color as someone.
Stop fucking projecting.

Also, are you rejecting that statistics? Or because you think I'm an asshole, you're just disregarding them for the sake of the conversation?

i suggest you guys read Guns, Germs, and Steel by jared diamond.

CGP Grey has 2 really great videos on it, "Americapox: The Missing Plague" and "Zebras vs Horses: Animal Domestication"
For anyone that want's an easily digestible cliff notes/Interpretation.

IQ has nothing to do with why some civilizations flourished while others stayed complacent. europeans are not genetically superior and the IQ argument is nothing more than white superiority in cloaked form

No one said anyone was genetically superior. Chill out. The inverse of your claim; do you not think that if the U.S. suddenly had an average IQ of 200 we wouldn't see extreme, positive changes?

Disease, heat, lack of beasts of burden, colonialism, and being new countries. Plus kleptocracy and civil wars.

And of course reasonable liberal Anarchy goes straight to Bell Curve explanations. Surely he is the most liberal!

"IQ plays no role in the development of a society! Even though it correlates to success, lack of criminality, and so much more on a personal level."

Listen, if you want to take the Guns, Germs, Steel approach, have at it, that certainly plays are role, but pretending that the average IQ being 20 points lower isn't going to help shape their countries is just fucking naive.

do you believe that toxic western involvement (not saying western involvement is toxic, but stuff like colonialism is) ended after colonialism?

I believe Western contributions are a net good that they are failing to utilize. Zimbabwe (the perennial example) is experiencing its problems because of the Zimbabwe. Our (Western) hands were washed of it a while ago.

Blaming white people only gets you so far but white people (and other non-black people) should stop asking these dumb questions that they should know the answer to.

My point is you can't blame whitey for the continual failed leadership, tribalism, crime, superstition, etc they've been experiencing for decades. White people are trying all they can to pull this continent into the 21st century. We send aid, food, and education and it's routinely squandered.

At what point, how many decades if ever from now will they be the agents of their destinies?
