>>Issue with this. IQ is a piss-poor way of measuring intelligence. Mine is above average, but at times I can be as stupid as a turnip.<<

And someone with a low IQ can be smart at times. So what? Who is saying everything is black or white, cut and dry? Nobody. Were talking general observations. High IQ people are generally better all around people than stupid ones. A higher percentage of dropouts and low-IQ people are likely to believe in Jewish world domination conspiracy theories and the like. They are more likely to become fundies. Smart people just don't get suckered into that stuff.

And the dumber you are when you're young will not compare to how utterly stupid you will be when you get older and your thinking process slows down. That's why so many old people get suckered by the most idiotic scams I ever heard of. They weren't smart to begin with. My father, otoh, is in his 80s and sharp as a tack--but then he's a retired automotive engineer.

The proof is in front of your face every single day. Ignore it at your own peril.

>>We do know that IQ scores are affected by a person's health, whether or not that person had breakfast, stress levels, etc. The issues are not one. IQ is a thing. The educational difficulties in North America, UK, Oz, NZ, etc., is another issue. Do not conflate the two.<<

What educational difficulties??? You and Bobert need to start saying what you mean so the rest of us know what you mean. I'm not conflating anything because I don't know what you're talking about and neither of you wants to explain it. What educational difficulties are you talking about??
