If a people have it easy, do their brains never develop beyond childlike intelligence, or is there an actual genetic component to intelligence?I ask, because americans seem to all be retarded, even the ones I've met in cities who work in medicine, finance, engineering, or law. Yet, their ancestors were smart enough to move to america, so how is it that their bloodline becomes instantaneously retarded within 1-2 generationslet's ignore africa for this question
>>534679271There is something called IQ to measure your overall intelligence by testing your problem solving skills. It's like 80% genetics and 20% environmental factors
>>534679406It feels like it's 80% environment, 20% genetics... What else would explain americans being so retarded? All of their recent ancestors were intelligent enough to come to america, yet they are retarded80% genetics doesn't make sense
> is intelligence just a function of hardship? Yes and no. Brain size too. Basically you can't make niggers with smallest brains more intelligent.

>>534679271> americans seem to all be retarded, even the ones I've met in cities who work in medicine, finance, engineering, or law.When americans seem dumb it's because you're ugly and annoying and they don't want to talk to you, we are trained to be polite to retards, and just say as little as possible until you go away.It's like when conspiritards talk about the "fluoride stare", the problem is you are so repellant and weird they don't know how to react to you, and are afraid of triggering you into going full turkroach on them, so they skillfully put on a facade of blankness.
>>534679646If that were true subhuman browns would be landing on the moon.
no, niggers have it pretty hard on account of being dumb and they never seem to get much smarter

>>534679646White Americans are actually smarter than Europeans
>>534679271no, OP. people are just going insane. it's not stupidity you're seeing. the world is getting weirder and more artificial every day, and it's breaking weaker minds, regardless of their raw intelligence. intelligence without supporting personality attributes is often squandered or otherwise low in utility to the bearer.
Well the fact niggers do better when adopted by white families makes me think environment is a pretty big variable. Genetics matters a lot too, but niggers simply are bad at raising kids.Basically a dumb nigger raised by smart whites can grow up to be average, but a dumb nigger raised by other dumb niggers will be a menace to society.
>>534679271>do their brains never develop beyond childlike intelligence, or is there an actual genetic component to intelligence?>I ask, because americans seem to all be retarded,Capitalists who run USA and took over american educational system want CONSUMERS. American Educational system is dumbed down to produce CONSUMERS. Not thinkers.Highly recommend taking various additional classes here in US, if you know they try to dumb you down.>Geography >Biology>Chemistry>physics>logic >statistics etc. If your high school failed to provide any of those classes.
>>534679991Probably >1 additional foreign language
>>534679819I've considered this bias already, my parents were retarded, yet I wasn't, but my parents were attractive, yet I was born ugly. The only explanation I can come up with to explain this, and the consistent retardation of americans, is that humans are more akin to locusts, when resources are scarce during development, various regions of the brain grow in different ways than when resources are abundant [as is the case for the general american youth]
Intelligence doesn't equal smarts. The most retarded ideas in fact require higher intelligence to get through the mental acrobatics, where a less intelligent person just immediately goes "that's retarded" and moves along with their day. The dumbest things in the world have been bought into by people who read books and even worse: modern philosophy.You can easily convince a class of med students you have to stay inside because a bat sneezed on a pengolin in Choina. Whereas your simpleton cousin who's never read a book just goes "it was the virus factory next door" and that's that.So conformity and cowardess is also a part of making a true retard and academia/intelligentsia has been selecting for the traits for a long time now. I can't imagine going through med school without thinking "this is fucking retarded" every day, but you have to if you wanna be a doctor.
>>534679271brains is akin to muscle: if you do not use it it becomes numb.
>>534679271Natural inquisitiveness is an Aryan trait.
>>534679271nono model of intelligence will have one parameterYou need to allow for other things to influence intelligence too.On your actual point, I disagree that intelligence is affected by how easy a life you have. Instead how easy a life you have, can affect your motivation to learn stuff and do work. This in turn affects your knowledge and capabilities.

>>534679271nolife just gets harder if you're not intelligent
>>534679942Some of the smartest white Europeans moved to America

>>534684955He didn't specify which way the hypothetical arrow was oriented. That will affect the answer
>>534679271Intelligence =/= emotional regulation OR willingness to question the official narrativeIf you're intelligent but unable to control your emotions you'll just come up with better excuses for why you're acting like a hysterical cunt.Likewise if you're intelligence but value social consensus and "fitting in" over the truth and critical thinking you'll just do more mental gymnastics to justify the nonsensical politically correct beliefs you're "supposed" to have
>>534686277the arrow doesn't matter if you're reversing cause and effect like OP isbeing intelligent makes things easy, that doesn't mean being easy makes you intelligent
>>534679271Yes
>>534679271>or is there an actual genetic component to intelligence?You can see the genetic component of intelligence as your base rate of learning and your absolute ceiling.Lets say a nigger and an Asian son of a medic and an engineer invest roughly the same amount of time studying, under the same conditions.What would you expect is not only the Asian to learn a lot faster, but to understand advanced subjects with ease, while the negroid will learn (eventually), but even if he learns at a constant pace in the beginning, he will find a lot more bottlenecks than the Asian monster.
>>534679271no, it's genetic. Whites and some east Asians are human.Everything else is an animal
>>534679991>capitalistsstopped reading thereanyone that uses the labels capitalist or reactionary is a dumb cunt that is to be ignored at every turnwhen someone types or utters those words you can safely assume they are lying to you
>>534679271It’s not a matter of ease vs. hardship, but a matter of challenging your own perceptions vs. remaining in a bubble due to how neuroplasticity functions. The modern environment of spending the entirety of your youth in a desk at the same school tested on the ability to accept certain information as dogma only to exit this environment for a rat race that selects for obedience ends up producing generations of humans who’s brains are too inflexible to have room for active learning. Hardship alone cannot cause the brain’s neuroplasticity to become more flexible because the neuroplasticity of the brain will harden with the idea of the particular hardship being the norm, and it is part of why places like India & parts of Africa have so low IQ rates as they cannot conceive of anything beyond the exact present. Hardship does build humility and familiarizes a people with concepts of scarcity, but it’s not sufficient on its own to produce greater intelligence.
>>534679271You're thinking of wisdom. Intelligence is largely innate and determined at birth, and can only go down from there, either by brain injuries, drug abuse, and stuff like that.>>534685341This lol. Why would you work for 50k euros in Germany when you can work for $100k+ in USA?The Americans just pay better than everyone, especially for high skill roles.
