There's no denying California is also a very innovative state though:

California ranked No. 1 in the Bloomberg index for patent activity and second for both technology-company density and concentration of science- and engineering-degree holders.

As California sees an exit of whites and continues to be mismanaged it's economy will also be effected.

As the cost of living here increases minorities are also likely to be leaving at the same rate if not higher:

At the same time, Black renters have been disproportionately forced out of cities as costs and evictions climbed; the Black population has plunged 45% in Compton, 43% in San Francisco and 40% in Oakland.

The thing is that California is a node in a largely functional empire. Other states keep the power on, defend the borders, produce crops and the combined economy of the US allows for its large corporations to centralize at one focal point.

California's economy is extremely top heavy. About 1% of the population pay half or more of the taxes. Its great wealth is simply owing to the fact that the talent of all America goes to silicon valley for work. Its not that it produces talent itself. California is dead last when it comes to average IQ, SAT scores or high school education.

Its inflated numbers on GDP and graduation rates are due to the fact that some of the smartest in America and the world go there to work in Silicon valley or study in places like UBC, ULA or Caltech. They don't produce those people themselves. They are a parasitic entity. The technological services they produce also only has relevancy because they have access to the military might provided by the other states and access to the wider American economy.

If it was an independent state, all these corporations and academics would flee tomorrow to NY or Texas and it would simply be Mexico north

The average IQ of California is 95.5 so it's the same as Russia, Ukraine or Portugal despite only being 37% white.

Why do you think they come to these universities? People come to get their degrees at California universities because they are good. California obviously built the foundation that appealed to intellectuals around the entire country. Learning from California universities is California producing these people. Many companies are started here where the founder was born anyway, Apple being one example.

Why do you think they come to these universities?

They come to these universities, because they were founded in a golden age, has a shit ton endowment by rich alumni and they have brand value. California's is over 45% of Mexican. The reason the IQ isn't rock bottom is because it hosts the most elite students of East Asia and a lot of upper middle class whites.

The prosperity is all concentrated in the bay area and some rich counties. The vast majority of the state is effectively Mexico with drug cartels, shit on streets and sanitation so bad that the bubonic plague has arrived. Millions of people have left ''le golden state'' over the last decade.

Plus, the reason all those bigbrains go there is because they come to America to make money and the big corporations are in California and New York, the two hives of American Jewry. But decades of hyper-Jewish rule has led to a state where even tech oligarchs like Thiel are leaving for Texas.

And again, the teachers of those universities are rarely, if ever born and raised in California. They are Chinese, Korean, Indian and European. The only ''native'' professors are probably nepotistic Jews.

Its running on the fumes of institutions built by a WASP majority in the 80s, that's evaporated in the last 3 decades. Its the most unequal state in the US and a completely decadent hellscape where its not illegal for you to intentionally infect someone with AIDS.

Russia has an IQ of about 98-99 and its due to 10% or so of the population being Armenians, inbred Chechens, Lezhegs and some Siberian tribes. Ukraine has a similar IQ.

One must take into count that these countries have had massive brain drain in the last 30 years, and both these countries underwent a near civilization collapse as recently as the 90s. Then there's the added issue of incessant wars and Jewish oligarchs, and KGB thugs.

Portugal has lowest IQ of Western Europe. But still, when it comes to crime, culture, stability, inequality and ease of life, all these countries are vastly ahead of California.
