Politics and every shit related to it aside, do inter-population differences in IQ exist?
Do certain races have a higher IQ?

does it really matter ?

Why shouldn't it?

Exactly, it's better to ignore genetic determinism and imagine it doesn't exist. Science and other such ways to predict patterns are stupid

This. IQ is a pretty one dimensional way to measure something as broad as intelligence. I can speak 2 languages, but I'm not great at math. Does that mean someone who is great at math, but can't speak 2 languages has a higher IQ than me? IQ tests are more about cognitive recognition than anything else. If you are in an environment where cognitive recognition is more prevalent, you will score higher on an IQ test, but there are plenty of other people in plenty of other fields that know more than you, but may have a lower IQ. Like I said. IQ is a pretty rough way to measure intelligence.

Yeah. All things considered, white people tend to be significantly dumber. The reason is not completely understood but there are some theories out there. Inbreeding, natural genetic inferiority. Both possible theories but because white people are afraid we could uncover the truth about their inferiority, researching differences in races is basically taboo in the western world. Sad but true.

Eh, even though I'm a brainlet, I can see how IQ can help to defuse narratives about oppresed/oppressor castes in society. People who deny objective metaphysics, an objective reality, and any kind of 'natural order' are much more likely to be resentful when reality doesn't match up with their post-structuralist/post-modernist narratives.

I'm not saying these isn't a "natural order" what I'm saying, is the way we measure that natrual order is very one dimensional. I do believe there is a way to measure potential intelligence. After all, we're nothing but biological machines. However, I don't think IQ is the way to do it.

Exactly, and that is the problem with /pol/. Those sisterfuckers completely deny the fact that non-whites and inherently superior to whites so they get very resentful when universities and corporations implement affirmative action.
Hey, if universities and companies want to hire more PoC it is because they need more high quality people like us. You are simply not making the cut, whitey.

Maybe. The difference in IQ could also be related to culture, education, religion,...
