Thanks. Education is key. Some people are not equipped to absorb it.
I'd recommend Dutton's half-hour Jolly Heretic riff on mid-wits on YouTube. He trots out estimates - IQ between 110 and 120 as I recall. See also the Lynn book. It is a two-hour read. He doesn't do the arithmetic, but my Excel analysis shows that with a 4 point difference in averages and a 14.1 vs 14.9 SD, there will be a 4:1 ratio of people above 145. The range the mid-wits want to chase away from the workplace and academia.
Smart people are productive people. Those who build profitable businesses. Those who earn big salaries. The tax mules. Their departure is one factor contributing to the massive deficits that all governments seem to be running.
Excellent. Thank you. Beaut review. Sent me looking for books including the one reviewed.
Not sure about that intelligence thing. Seems a bit unintelligent to make an issue of that. Of course I realise it may be my own unintelligent state that leads me to think this way.
But it is average intelligence they are talking about, is it not?
And caused, they seem to clearly say, by the incorporation of more and more unintelligent people within our society?
Well how does that matter?
It is akin to incorporating more pets in the family isn't it? More dogs perhaps.
Hardly damages the family and in fact it could be argued it augments the family couldn't it?
And that last sentence was their conclusion? 'our challenge' ? They omitted to provide some paths maybe?
I see it as intelligent to start immediately upon a program of educating the people. In all manner of things, doesn't matter, educate. And I find it somewhat unintelligent to miss out on an opportunity to state that.
Graham, you're going to drive me into penury, forcing me to buy all these books. :-)
I love it! But I hope my reviews are thorough enough that you can get the gist of a book and only buy it if you want more.
Great quote:

And even more unintelligent not to do it.
