The Man who accidently killed millions/destroyed IQ/raised crime rate.

Even though the video doesn't explicitly talk about race, I do find it fascinating how world events may have been directly impacted by the amount of harmful pollutants released into our environment.

Especially when it talks about the highest levels of lead where found in babies born between the 1950s ~ 1980s. Imagine where the world could have been if they were born with a higher IQ and even less violent tendencies.

Could the Cold War have ended sooner if people were less dumb? Would future wars like Iraq & even Ukraine be completely avoided?

I also believe this is an argument for Eco-Fascism. If one country burns poisonous shit and it leaks into our atmosphere, it will result in dysgenics for races worldwide. The only moral argument would be to actually try and regulate the environment by keeping it clean.

Lead is a cope. Crime rates started rising in the 60s for the same reason they're rising now: letting Blacks run wild.

Lead is a cope.

It's a poisonous element dating back to Roman times. We should absolutely be concerned why companies think it's a good idea to put it in products and profit.

Crime rates started rising in the 60s for the same reason they're rising now: letting Blacks run wild.

The Black population didn't increase. It was always 13% of the population. And the biggest spike happened in the 1990s but dropped.

The video also shows similar trends in the UK, Canada & Australia.

They were already phasing it out by the 70s.

1994 study had indicated that the concentration of lead in the blood of the U.S. population had dropped 78% from 1976 to 1991.[105]

Yes, but other countries were still using it as of 2021. And the definition of "acceptable lead" levels also wasn't finalized until much recent.

So even a single miligram of lead in babies is still going to screw them up.

EPA and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) agree that there is no known safe level of lead in a child's blood. Taking action to reduce these exposures can improve outcomes. Lead is harmful to health, especially for children.

It's NOWHERE near a single milligram. Lol. We're talking micrograms per deciliter here.

I'll admit that I exaggerated the number.

Why does the black population need to increase for there to be more black crime?

Edit: You know what? I just noticed every comment you make here is about blacks in general. And with that username, I'm just not obsessed about them. Sorry.

Not every comment, but most are, that's true.

Besides, you responded to the previous comment about letting blacks run wild by saying that the black population didn't increase. I just wanted to know what that had to do with the crime rate increasing.

The Black population didn't increase. It was always 13% of the population. And the biggest spike happened in the 1990s but dropped.

Relative to the white population it's increased massively. Around 1950 the ratio would have been something like 9 whites to 1 black. Now it's probably 4 or 3 whites to 1 black, especially if you discount the boomers (60+) who are irrelevant for most of these types of stats.

I love how IQ and the crime rate are suddenly correlated when they they try and blame it on environmental factors. How do they explain the vastly disproportionate crime rate and lower IQs of blacks today?

[–]AidsVictim69 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

I doubt much would have changed. Giving people a few more IQ points back is not going to alter the history of the cold war, Joe Average being slightly dumber has no impact on the superstructure of historical development at that level (if he was 15 or 20 points dumber however...). It probably has made society worse to live in though which is one the reasons to seize control and safeguarding the environment instead of spitefully attacking it to "own the libs" like you constantly see from the right.
