Human intelligence seems to be correlated with living in hierarchical societies as in civilizations and the effects of enforced disciplined behavior. Those cultures that lived in civilizations with stricter behavioural norms tend to have higher IQs.Starting with the highest IQs, the Far Easterners (Mongolians, then Chinese et cetera) lead, then South Asians (Indians, et cetera), Ashkenazi Jews, and then Europeans.
The problem can be corrected. There is as yet no way to reliably raise the IQ of a cohort but IQs can be lowered on an individual basis. Outpatient transorbital prefrontal lobotomies were performed in psychiatrists' offices from the early part of the twentieth century, and a Nobel Prize in Medicine was awarded for the procedure in the mid-twentieth century. It relieved depression and reduced activity that could risk suicide.
In addition it reduced IQ and increased aggressiveness, both of which could bring the higher-IQ cohorts to the level of lower IQ folks. If employed widely enough, it could ameliorate the systemic basis for racism.
Not counting the news outlets or websites along the full range of accuracy and veracity, I follow multiple actual individuals' handwritten blogs. (Bot news aggregators don't thrill me.) Looking them over, many are current serving or former military and a couple are some variation of high-speed low-drag elite forces ninjas. Or just funny as all. Because life without humor is just despair. So in other words, the same folks I trusted in the military not to wet the bed, sh*t themselves, or otherwise run around like headless Nancys, are the same folks I trust on the interwebz, for demonstrating pretty much the same trustworthiness and circumspectly responsible behavior. Color me shocked.
Comments are fully moderated, due to idiots and trolls. Grown up discussion here will appear just as soon as I have the time to push it through. ANONYMOUS UNSIGNED COMMENTS WILL BE AUTO-DELETED WITHOUT MERCY, and the url added to the spam filter, or mercilessly mocked at the bloghost's sole discretion. If you're too chickensh*t to come up with an alias for online purposes, you're not tall enough for this blog. Pick a name, and stick with it, and you're good. Get cute, and you're wasting your time and my electrons, and your masterpiece will never see the light of day. No warning shots will be fired. If you can't maintain decorum and polite behavior, I won't toy with you, I'll squash you. If one of your comments disappears, YOU f**ked up. If all of them do, it's time for you to go. Disagree with the points made, on the merits, and you're good. Go after me personally, or other commenters, and your comment will never see daylight here. My tolerance for skirting the line is at absolute zero, and will remain there. Don't f**k up.

Okay? It's great!
The underlying problem is not so much a paucity of melanin, but associated condinions, in particular the distribution of intelligence among various cohorts.
