The Bell Curve

[Hankelvis]

From Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Bell_Curve 

The Bell Curve, published in 1994, was written by Richard Herrnstein and Charles Murray to explain the variations in intelligence in American society, warn of some consequences of that variation, and propose social policies for mitigating the worst of the consequences. The book's title comes from the bell-shaped normal distribution of intelligence quotient (IQ) scores in a population.

Many of the arguments put forth by the authors were controversial, ranging from the relationships between low measured intelligence and anti-social behavior, to a genetic component of the low observed test scores for African-American (compared with whites). The book was heavily publicized as it was released, just after the death of Herrnstein. In the first several months of its release, 400,000 copies of the book were sold around the world. The Bell Curve argues that:

1. Intelligence exists and is accurately measurable across racial, language, and national boundaries.
2. Intelligence is one of the most important factors, if not the single most important factor correlated to economic, social, and overall success in the United States; and its importance is increasing.
3. Intelligence is largely (40% to 80%) heritable.
4. No one has so far been able to manipulate IQ to a significant degree through changes in environmental factors—except for child adoption—and in the light of these failures, future successful manipulations are unlikely.
5. The United States has been in denial of these facts. A better public understanding of the nature of intelligence and its social correlates is necessary to guide future policy decisions.

Why is this relevant?

And because of this bell curve, statement 5 no longer makes sense. One can no longer say "The United States has been in denial of these facts". Those living on the left side of the curve, the low IQ population, of course are denying the facts. But those above the 50% know these facts, or at least most of them, and manipulate them to their own purposes. 

The good people want to help those on the low end.  They might succeed in part if not impeded in their efforts. 

But the bad people (the liberals) want to use those on the low end to control them; and then graduate to controlling the middle. And hence no more United States. 

What happens to the the good people? Well, only one thing left: survival of the fittest. Do we have have enough good people here who actually understand what is happening and are willing to do something about it? I am no longer sure. Are you?

They concentrate on removing "Confederate" statues in town square to pander to PC rather than tackle ignorance and poverty. People are hungry yet Obama gave them an enemy and not food.

An ominous observation.

The number of people who have upped sticks and permanently left the USA has accelerated dramatically since 2000.

These are predominantly members of the entrepreneurial class, the wealth creators; not mid-wives from Honduras.

Predictably, our political assholery remain oblivious.
