First of all, "IQ and the Wealth of Nations" is hardly unassailable. I"ve never read it, but I just took a look at it's wikipedia page and it's sort of a mess. National averages weren't available for nearly half the countries and several of the averages were pulled from data decades apart. Many of the averages were pulled from data on young children and many of the averages were pulled from different types of tests. I could go on and on, but basically, they had an idea and they manipulated the data to support it. This book is not considered the be all, end all by sociologists, by any means.
Wikipedia? LOL, you know NOTHING of Lynn's work, NOTHING of said data sets.
NOTHING comes close to the said tome and the correlation it makes between IQ and GDP, NOTHING!
No sociologist has EVER put forward ANYTHING close to that which Lynn and Vanhanen present.
The sad fact is, that for all your bluster you have NO original work to present, just mere whimsy about vague socioeconomics.
You can present no data model that confounds the conclusions reached by Lynn, NONE!
It's always the same old bullshit story from you; the whites are racist, the scores for blacks are incorrect.
Well, why not the other way around? Why do we NEVER hear you say "The THIRTY THREE tests from various African countries - with five in the 75 to 80 range, and 28 below that - are depressingly correct, but the Chinese score of 107 is probably too low, they are probably capable of scoring 120 on average"?
Answer? You are an apologist for genetic inability; you have ZERO interest in science, preferring instead to spew whimsy as an explanation for the poor performance on the part of Africans.
Honestly, instead of pulling down the work that show blacks ALWAYS being beaten by ALL OTHER RACES, work that TIME AND TIME AGAIN shows the EXACT spread of bell curve as demonstrated by Murray et al., why don't you PROVE YOUR POINT BY POINTING TO STUDIES SHOWING BLACKS AT THE TOP OF THE TREE...oh yeah, you can't because no such studies exist!
I'd settle for you showing us an IQ test that demonstrates everyone is equal...oh yeah, it doesn't exist either. Doh!
BOTTOM LINE: YOU CAN DO NEITHER!!
Oh and let's merely gloss over the fact that Tatu Vanhanen was pursued by the police for his comments about the book, YES THAT'S THE WORLD YOU AND YOUR PISSANT CROWD HAVE CRAFTED! We can't even look at these topics in an objective scientific light without threat of JAIL TIME. Of course if your side was confident in your beliefs no such punishment would be needed - you could merely expose the genetic side as being false by showing us studies which demonstrate equality.
Oh, but they don't exist.
