    speaking of ignorance the republiscums luke warm response to a republican governors poisoning the children of flint with lead and now killing them with legionaires desease shows the american people what republiscum thinks of poor black americans. katrina ii with no democratic governor to blame or even a mayor who’s poweres were usurped by republican governor who’s appointed manager switched the water. I add this because you would rather blame a democrat mayor who’s power was taken away.

    Haven;t watched it, so don’t know how relevant this is;

    Hayek wrote about the Greeks that they didn’t produce so many geniuses from any biological advantage, but because their socio-economic systems was conducive to genius.

    Seemed reasonable to me when I read it. Since then I’ve been reading the human biodiversity types. Some populations just have higher average IQs than others. Move the bell curve a standard deviation the the right and the percentage geniuses does up significantly.

    And, a nominally higher IQ population might also develop better, more efficient economic conditions, feeding into the Hayek’s argument.
