I think a lot of native Americans in North America evolved in cold climates and thus selected for higher intelligence

Compare any Indian Reserve, https://i.imgur.com/pHpQjqM.jpg

to a Homeless camp in Japan. https://i.imgur.com/nyiSzqW.jpg

Even the poorest or most destitute Japanese still have a sense of cleanliness or perform manual jobs like recycling bottles, whereas Indian settlements are dirty, rundown and live off welfare.

If the Indians had a higher IQ, they're either not putting it to use, or there's barely any real life examples of it.

    Russians and US southern "hillbillies" often live in run-down conditions too. Yet most of them are, or would've been, highly intelligent on a basic animal level of psychometrics you're talking about, given adequate time to adapt to the particular testing format. There are a lot of people in the world who are smart yet currently live in a "fuck it!" manner approaching squalor. Some of the attitudes are like how a person can go from collecting into "hoarding", and eventually they feel trapped. Digging out feels insurmountable. It's a mix of complacent and lazy and feeling powerless to change like re-arranging chairs on some Titanic: extrapolated to herd vs. individual dynamics. The world increasingly became a complicated mess of self-selecting and outside factors for group conformity and outside pressures - pressures of the immediate tribe/surroundings and going up the scale to world pressures.

    Oh come on. This is the exact same excuse Blacks say for their failures.

    "Just give us more time to close the gap! It's all slavery and redlining's fault why nothing has changed for the last 10 years."

    And the Russian or American hillbillies are considered the outlier of their race. The bell curve never said dumb whites don't exist, but your chances of running into them are far less than meeting professional White families who hold high income jobs and clean up after their neighborhoods.

    If Native Indians were just as well mannered, than why do all their settlements look worse than the Japanese homeless camps? The Indian crime rate is also much higher, so temperament is also a factor.

      I... still don't understand what your point is.

      To compare the Native Indian situation to poor Whites is clearly wrong. The Whites who live that way are in the minority, but their cities are still considered safer on average.

      There's no where in my country where I can name a single Reserve or Indian town that has living standards comparable to any upper class neighborhood. Why would that be the case, if not for IQ and any other genetic differences?

      The Native Indians also get a shit ton of free money from the government as well. It's a myth that we never helped these people or created that situation for them. Hell, they can even go to university for free because of their Indian status. If they were smart, they could graduate and come back to these slums and actually improve them. Except, they do the complete opposite.

      They vote for more government aid, which is just more welfare, and they blow it. The cycle repeats and repeats.

      With the picture of the Japanese camp, it doesn't take a genius to understand why they appear well mannered to us. They keep all their personal belongings in bags and organized, their clothes doesn't show signs of damage so they take care of them, and it's highly unlikely they're going to stab you if you walked past them. The guy leaning in the chair even looks like he is enjoying life, despite probably having no money.

        I... I'm still confused by your message.

        Once again, my original concern or statement was I'm perplexed by Native Indians scoring higher on average in school compared to Hispanics. I do not deny from a genetic point of view, that Native Indians are still gifted with large brains. But that alone doesn't explain the massive differences in nation building that no Amerindian civilization has ever caught up with European or Asian societies.

        Does this make my point more clear? And just like with the IQ arguments, I don't deny that environment can't also be ia factor. But even from the same Rushton sources, does he not admit that IQ is still 50% genes AND 50% environment?

        And even when poor Whites & Asians are thrown into these slum like conditions, we know for a fact that they still manage to create safe and clean neighborhoods. We also know they can rapidly recover from poverty. Perfect example of this? Look at Germany. They were destroyed by two world wars but today, they're still like the 3rd or 4th most powerful country.

        Meanwhile, Indian reserves are given millions in free cash and other incentives by the government, but what do the Indians do with it? Do they build cars, computers or skyscrapers with it? No. It all goes wasted every generation.

          Indians capable and wanting of such things can self-select and enter western society to work for AMD, Intel, Samsung, Apple, Google, etc. and they wouldn't be in those photos.

          I have to stop you there.

          If one Indian applies for a job that is overwhelmingly White or Asian, then of course they're not going to make it in the photo shoot. If they want representation, they either have to work for it, and get more of their buddies in this line of work. OR, they can literally fund their own tech start-up, and pride themselves on being a 100% Indian owned company. The latter is what I clearly support, since it empowers Indians to actually look at their national image and fix it, as opposed to leeching off another race's success and complaining "Why doesn't this 99% White or Asian business like me"?

          Yep. Throwing piles of cash at things can hurt those things when there's no motivating factor. There's teaching a man to fish vs. throwing fish at him. Sometimes men are capable of fishing but need some fish temporarily and that's ok. Charity has a place for many things, nursing people. It depends. When globalists enact "welfare"/"charity", bank on it being 100% predatory. Dumping cash and gibs on Africa then funneling those population booms into western nations is as subversive as it gets. Globalists might as well be putting a trail of honey for wild bears to enter an unopened door, straight into your kids' rooms.

          If Indians don't want welfare, they're free to reject it. In fact, if Western life is too complicated for them, they should be making the argument for complete racial seperation, instead of constantly bitching at White politicians to give them more free stuff or rename historic White institutions after their own leaders.

          So the Indians are actually motivated, but their motivation stems from hurting Whites, instead of taking responsibility and leading their people away from them.

          The same is true with Africa. They have a motivation to accept gibs and use it to buy all the fancy trinkets that gets dropped on them. But their IQ is too low to actually refocus their efforts on building a 1st world country, instead of buying more flashy products.

          Yes and no. Would depend on which group. The Inuit for sure, but the Plains Indians were more migratory/nomadic, so probably more variable.

          Hmmm, that's even more bizarre. Inuits in my country are actually the poorest of all Indian tribes.

          Also look at where the Aztec, Incans and Mayan Civilizations were located? They were closer to the equator, instead of the north or south poles.

          [–]Nombre27 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

          Which environment do you think would require greater intelligence to survive in? The equator or the arctic?

          [–]radicalcentristNational Centrism[S] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

          Under normal conditions, you would expect the arctic. But these people only lived in 1 story Igloos, hunted wild animals with wooden spears, and there's no evidence they did any farming or large scale irrigation. In fact, maybe that could have been their weakness. They don't eat vegetables, their diets are based on meat consumption only.

          https://www.discovermagazine.com/health/the-inuit-paradox

          And then consider their absolute remoteness from other civilizations. Warfare is a part of life, and has lead to humans seeking innovation to survive. If the Inuit ever came in contact with the Jaguar Warriors or the long range Bolas, I doubt they would have been able to beat them with their pointy sticks.

          Edit: It's also important to remember. The only other civilization that independently invented the wheel was the Aztecs. But they only put them on their toys, instead of making a cart.

          I estimated the mid-points of the ranges given for their cranial capacity measures and found, in (cm3): East Asians (1425), Europeans (1375), Inuit-Eskimos (1440), South East Asians (1325), Native American Indians (1350), Pacific Islanders (1350), South Asians and North Africans (1325), sub-Saharan Africans (1275), Australian Aborigines (1225), and Kalahari Bushmen and Congo Pygmies (1200).

          Isn't it possible that the biggest parts of their brain may not actually be the areas that specialize in math or nation building?

          For example, I have seen studies that say Eskimos are very good at remembering things. Their visual memory is on record, better than Whites.

          https://journalhosting.ucalgary.ca/index.php/arctic/article/download/66174/50087/187190

          ABSTRACT. The hypothesis that the ecological and cultural characteristics of Eskimo society lead to village Eskimo children having greater ability in visual memory than urban Caucasian children has been studied. A test of visual memory was given to 501 urban Caucasian and 125 village Eskimo children. Village Eskimo children demonstrated significantly higher levels of visual memory. Visual memory was also found to increase significantly with age. A follow-up questionnaire study indicated that about 65 per cent of teachers in Eskimo villages noted the unusually high ability of Eskimo students in recalling visual detail or mentioned their high performance in tasks depending partly upon this ability.

          But their academic performance has been recorded, and they still have the highest dropout rates of any race.

          https://jan.ucc.nau.edu/~jar/AIE/Dropouts.html

          American Indian and Alaska Native students have a dropout rate twice the national average; the highest dropout rate of any United States ethnic or racial group. About three out of every ten Native students drop out of school before graduating from high school both on reservations and in cities. Academically capable Native students often drop out of school because their needs are not being met while others are pushed out because they protest in a variety of ways how they are treated in school.

          Or see this study

          https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/ED025225.pdf

          Of the original number of Alaskan natives entering the University of Alaska from rural and urban areas, 507 drop out at the end of their freshman year, and less than 27 are likely to receive a degree at the end of 4 .years. This high attrition rate is caused by poor elementary and secondary school preparation, and strong personal feelings of inadequacy that are intensified at a campus that is both integrated and oriented toward Western culture.

          And obviously Japanese or Chinese immigrants aren't failing school, so I would doubt why would Inuits somehow be better than them?

          In the CBC link I also posted, the average Inuit salary is considered less than $20,000 a year. Compare that to Canada's national, which is $54,630 a year.

          Their average IQ is on par with African-Americans so probably not.
