So your average Software engineer living in west is an average Indian ?
Please make an attempt to UNDERSTAND what is being said.
The average software engineer Indian is the West is not the average Indian, even a fool will agree. Similarly, the average Chinese-American is not the average Chinese. Extend this to all groups. Proponents of the "IQ and wealth of nations" theory cherry-pick examples that suit their narrative, while remaining silent on the numerous exceptions and holes in the theory.
I have two disputes with that retarded theory, please take the time to read and understand what I am saying, and then attempt to answer the questions that follow:
1. IQ is not an objective measure. The very measurement of IQ is inconsistent and flawed, and highly subjective. My IQ has varied wildly in different tests I have taken at different times. I do not see IQ as a reliable measure to begin with.
2. Saying that IQ is the sole reason for wealth, while ignoring all other numerous factors, is insane, to say the least. EQ, decision making, personality traits, physical and mental health, "street-smartness" and a dozen other factors matter.
With this in mind, please answer:
1. Indians, Pakis and BDeshis are the same "race". So, explain why their levels of development and prosperity are so radically different in the West. When you use the West as a reference point, you make it a level playing field and have an apples-to-apples comparison.
2. Chinese, Taiwanese, Koreans are the same race. So, explain why these nations differ in terms of prosperity and power.
3. Africans are the same monolithic "race" according to the proponents of that theory. So, what is the difference among African nations on account of? Some of them have pretty high HDI, close to East European levels. Some of them are at the bottom of the pile.
4. Mongoloids are higher IQ than South Asian or Caucasian races. Again, taking the US example to level the playing field, why do Indians (of South Asian race) perform better than Mongoloids in the US? All immigrants are the cream of their respective societies. So, if one were to go blindly by "IQ" as a measure of wealth, it should be Mongoloids > Caucasians > South Asians > Blacks. Is that the case? As an interesting aside, let's bring Semitic folk into this. Why do Jews perform better than anyone else, barring Hindus?
5. Why are there differences across religious lines in people of the same race? After all, they have the same "IQ", as per proponents of that theory.
This friggen theory has so many holes and exceptions, it would take an extreme moron to believe in the strict IQ=wealth theory. It doesn't stand up to any serious scrutiny.
Here is another thought experiment w.r.t. IQ tests: I am very slow when it comes to processing colours, patterns and shapes. If you were to give me an "IQ test" comprising only shapes and colours, I might score in the 90s or early 100s. I am lightning fast when it comes to mathematical problems and mental quick calculations. If you give me a test comprising only those kinds of questions, I will probably score in the 140s or higher. I am way above average when it comes to drawing conclusions and performing analysis on data. I would probably score in the 130s in such a test. As a thought experiment, please consider who would "win" in an "IQ test competition" between the late Dhirubhai Ambani and me? What do you think? Who would win between Dawood Ibrahim and me?
