IQ and the Flynn Effect.

February 19th, 2025.

Dear Gavin, I knew it would be just a matter of time before you ran into the IQ Bros.

Whites are superior, whites have a higher IQ on average, whites are supreme, whites rock, and there you go.

I sometimes have thought that it would be bracing and quite festive to scoop some of these

fellows up and make them take an IQ test. In order to talk about this, I need to back up a little

in order to give you a little bit of history. Back in 1994, Charles Murray and Richard Hernstein

published a book called The Bell Curve. Because there are, in fact,

disparities between ethnic groups when it comes to IQ tests, and because the book talked openly about

such disparities, there was, of course, a firestorm. Any kind of discussion of cognitive abilities

as applied to blacks, whites, Asians, and Jews is fraught with, well, with fraughtness. So to just dump our problem

out on the table, if we go by IQ, the smartest group, on average, appears to be East Asians

and Ashkenazi Jews. Whites come in second, then Hispanics, then Native Americans, and then

African Americans. The white average is 100. The black average is between 85 and 90s.

The Ashkenazi average is somewhere between 107 and 115, and East Asians are at 106.

A certain kind of bigot is going to be really stumped by all this, because when it comes to the Jews,

the tests are clearly bogus and rigged, and when it comes to blacks, they are to be treated

like the scroll of truth. It is not surprising that such a bigot generally has trouble on the part

of the test that says things like, one of these things is not like the others. Nevertheless,

some whites like to take pride in the fact that the white IQ is on average, higher than the

average for blacks. Before getting into the weeds on this, let me first

note a logical problem when it comes to those who like to take pride in averages. It is possible
