      average IQ will increase

      👏 That’s 👏 not 👏 how 👏 IQ 👏 works 👏

      The average IQ is 100. It’s always 100. I hate people who talk about IQ because they are annoyingly wrong seven ways from Sunday every fucking time.

      It’s a win-win situation.

      God fucking Damnit this county sucks. Death to Amerikkka

      • It seems you suffer from some misconceptions while being aware of some moderately obscure truth.

        First of all, good on yer that you know that IQ is normalized to 100. The problem is that this is true for some particular group of people. I’m not sure offhand what body does this normalization and what population they use, but thankfully, that knowledge doesn’t matter.

        Any particular group of people will probably not have an average IQ of 100. Only the full body of people it’s normalized to will.

        So if they normalize IQ to all USians, the average IQ in other countries will naturally be somewhat close to 100 (probably), but not precisely 100. So move people elsewhere and the average IQ of the destination country will change by some probably-relatively-small amount.

        Or, if the entire world is normalized to 100, then the average IQ in NO countries is precisely 100, and moving people around will still change the average.

        So I’m afraid you need to back up your clapbacks and take another think through on this, friend.

        this county sucks.

        You should broaden your horizons. :)

          According to USDA 37% of SNAP receipts are white and tend to be in red states so one could make an assumption or two. Of course hard to say for sure without voter data, so impossible to prove any of my incoherent ramblings. Take with grain of salt

            White Americans are a larger share of the population, so the math has to reflect that. Context matters. And if we’re discussing support for low-income Americans, include all major programs: SNAP, Medicaid, TANF, housing assistance…not just selective data points.

            This isn’t about Trumpty dumpty. It’s about getting the numbers right.
