American IQ in 2050: In terms of IQ, how will the United States look in 2050? I got population projections from the Census, then made simple assumptions about the mean IQs of racial groups: Asians 105, whites 100, Hispanics and Amerindians 90, and blacks 85.

ReplyDeleteUtah's birthrate was barely above replacement last I checked. Mormons aren't breeding like people think they are.
Israel is fairly diverse, how's that working out? The CIA World Factbook says Uruguay is 8% Mestizo and 4% Black. We're already worse off than that. Christ, we're going to envy the economic dynamism and social stability of Slovenia.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks liberals! I used to think civil war II and WN scenarios were insane. I'm not so sure anymore.
