Only the materialistic aspects of society. Anything else has nothing to do with IQ.

Do you consider philosophy to be materialistic too? Because philosophers who shaped the modern world didn't make certain discoveries about the human condition while having subpar IQ.

Did philosophy built the world around me?! No i do not consider it materialistic. What discoveries did philosophy make? that "built" the modern society?

Sir Francis Bacon invented the scientific method. Nietzsche is taught in Europe as a required class in many areas. Highly influential philosophers like Kant and Schopenhauer. Plato, Aristotle, the list goes on. Discoveries about the meaning of values and existentialism.
