00:04:21.260and everything that comes along with the resultant unstable families.
00:04:26.400Through this example, and a thousand more,
00:04:29.420we can demonstrate IQ is not just about abstract intellect,
00:04:33.200but is undeniably associated with moral behavior, and is predictive populationally,
00:04:40.060if not necessarily causative individually. Thus, if IQ has meaningful moral import,
00:04:48.080what does this imply for populations whose average scores fall below the threshold
00:04:52.940commonly associated with intellectual disability? Retard literally means being slow.
00:04:59.880Would such peoples, and not just their cultures, tend on average toward chaotic mating patterns rather than stable pair bonding, shorter time horizons, and reduced impulse control?
00:05:13.900How would their societies look, build, work, parent, and worship on average?
00:05:21.020And how would they differ on average from other peoples and civilizations?
00:05:25.180we do not have to pose these questions disingenuously we already have concrete examples
00:05:33.120of different peoples and the disparities between them resulting in part from iq differences and
00:05:40.400none are so stark as those found in sub-saharan africa africa as a continent rich in natural
00:05:46.880resources 30 of the world's mineral reserves along with roughly 12 of global oil and 8 of
00:05:54.800global natural gas resources, but thoroughly stunted in its maturation and development.
00:06:01.940As G.W.F. Hegel observed, Africa proper, as far as history goes back, has remained, for all
00:06:10.720purposes of connection with the rest of the world, shut up. It is the gold land compressed within
00:06:17.100itself, the land of childhood which, lying beyond the day of self-conscious history, is enveloped
00:06:23.920in the dark mantle of night, for it is no historical part of the world. It has no movement
00:06:29.960or development to exhibit. Historical movements in it, that is, in its northern part, belong to
00:06:37.440the Asiatic or European world. In times past, the stark differences that exist today between
00:06:46.260Western civilizations and Africa, for example, were not commonly known, or at least not present
00:06:53.520in the minds of most westerners. The assumption, promoted by NGOs and charities, was that less
00:07:00.360advanced societies were behind because of colonization, natural geographical disadvantages,
00:07:06.680or simply unfortunate circumstances. The good and proper course of action, then,
00:07:12.920was to supply them with the missing food, medicine, health care, building supplies,
00:07:18.000and education. If the problem was superficial, skin deep, and merely a matter of information,
00:07:25.140then all that was needed was a little supplementation where there was lack.
