Indeed, I count myself with do nothing crowd at the moment. Polices that incentivize voluntary sterilization of low-IQ individuals might actually be too expensive to implement (or they may not be, I haven't done the math), and it appears nothing seems to motivate high-IQ individuals to stop their obsessive analyzing before having children (I am in that group as well).At the very least, we should open talk of HBD so we can stop ridiculous discourse as in the one in this thread and leave teachers alone. That said however, I'm in favor of adopting the Finnish model to a degree as to stop obsessing over competition and incessant testing. But again, HBD may explain things... Westerners, particularly the English and their descendants have a very individualistic approach to life owing to their history living in independent nuclear families. Finns on the other hand lived in the communal dwellings typical of their Russian neighbors and are introverted and perhaps less keen on competition than are Anglos. |
