Race IQ of the Indo-Pakistani Subcontinent

Now, make no mistake.  I am ever proud to be from the same continent as our far east Asian brothers and sisters.  I warmly regard them with great respect, cordiality, friendliness____
----as colleagues in the professional work force
---- and I have had the pleasure of counting them among my closest friends.

But we South Asians are distinctly a separate race.  We are obviously a separate [[[ditinct]]] class offf heritage, ancestry, ethnic origins,,,,,
This is obvious.

I notice that mention of the South Asian subcontinent is conspicuously absent from any and all discussions of race and IQ.

elanoret bit more on how the blk IQ thing.  AS in use 2nd(3rd) essay, after 1 asians 2 blacks.
::::
Let us [[inspect study]] this phenomenon in more detail_[[[[more profoundly thoroughly.
onn how the caste system of India has produced greatly varying IQ [[____repseentacvs]] at all extremes of spectrum.
(((*** tie this in with caste system of undai))))

It greatly embarrasses me to say this,, but it must be acknowledged.  The Indo-Pakistani subcontinent is rife with crime, fraught with obliterating poverty.  So if the Asian IQ thing is to be believed, how does this theory possibly explain the vast enormous discrepancy between [[he different socioeconomic classes of Indians?  KeepinmindRemember this includes Bangladeshis.

caste system.
--so there was not a whole lot of opportunity for vertical mobility.  Not a whole lot of chances to climb the social ranks.

If this [[blocking attitude]] [[ensconced, surrounded,,,]]] education and job opportunities, then this is not a good thing.  People have a right to make their lives better.  The way to do this is to [[[open up channels of jobs and money.]]]]..

However, if this caste system concerns marriage/dating/etc., I'll be honest.  That does not really worry me.  Shrug.  Nobody has a "right" to marry someone above (or below) their socioeconomic class.  If a lower-class person likes an upper-class person, and the upper-class person also happens to like the lower-class one and agrees to marry them, then great, go ahead.  But this is not a human right.

Ohmigosh, you destroyed the curve. Everyone is, like, so totally mad.

The media firestorm is already underway.

We need to discus and establish what IQ is.  We [[steadfastly, solidify___]]]] need to set the record straight on the correct definition of IQ.  It is not just an arbitrary number on a scale.  IQ encompasses a lot of information about a person's cognitive capacity.. ****

one guy used flax seed. ___another guy used lead shot and produced results that were more palatable to the mass populace.

But that is not the whole story.  Intelligence is not about only [[[[raw___]]]] size of the brain.  There are a lot more factors of neurology than that.

There are synapses-- the connections between neurons, electrochemical signals from one neuron's axon to the dendrite of the next.

What is IQ?
Yes, evolution has to do with brain cognitive capacity.
more and more detailed, more branched, more numerous, finer and more precise,,,__ nerve to nerve connections, nerve to muscle connections,

Humans have far more numerous nerve connections than do other animals, and indeed, we have more than do any other primates.
neurotransmitters being transported___better
the electrochemical signal traveling faster and more efficiently

at this level of sub-sub-level of the hierarchy or organization, the physiological manifests in the abstract behavioral.  That is, physiological chemistry is expressed in the psychological, the mental.
There are so many synapses firing and rapid___ that it transcends the mere [[physical]]] basal biological urges, and now has become conscious free will.
The ability for conscious decision-making, the ability for judgment, voluntary action, free will, voluntary thought has developed.  voluntary decision-making processes.

neuronal pathway
more neural paths,  more neural tracts
stronger neural connections
[[[[diversified and specific]]]]
neural pathways that are more subdivided and specialized.

the brain requires an enormous percent of the body's nourishment and blood supply. 
An extremely vast, extensive network of blood vessels.  it is comprised of arteries, arterioles, capillaries, [[[distribution]]]]
for greater ability to [[[oxygen and nutrients such as sodium..]]]
a very detailed [[[___]]]] contributes to more activity in the brain.
--this is demonstrated in MRI brain scans of Alzheimer's patients.  Areas of the brain that [[[____]]]

gyri and sulci, the little hills and valleys that are commonly referred to as "wrinkles."  These serve to increase the surface area of the brain.  ___for more efficient absorptive capacity.

Raw brain size  blue whales have brains much bigger than humans do, but they are far stupider than humans.  you ever met a blue whale that excelled at calculus?

Asian IQ scores; median; average arithmetic mean IQ scores

There are definite differences between the races that go far deeper than melanin production.  it is being in a state of excruciating denial to say that the differences between races are merely superficial.

There is so much noise surrounding the definitions of IQ and evolution, it is borne of necessity that we must explain what IQ is not.

It is NOT a random arbitrary ruler yardstick that has little bearing on the social impact a person has.  It is not a "meaningless" number that has no ramifications for real life.

it covers an enormous scope & breadth of the human condition.

1)   intelligence (deftness, adeptness), acumen for

*critical thinking, of weighing the pros and cons of a situation.

2)  impulse control,
or even possibly the existence of basal, primitive urges in the first place;
including forethought, foresight, being aware of consequences of behavior.  thinking in the long-term.  planning ahead, future awareness.
delaying gratification.  not resorting to immediate gratification.  not simply succumbing to base urges, but thinking through the long-term consequences of those base urges.


3)
and of course, IQ is closely intertwined [[[[interlaced]]] (hand in hand) with evolution. 
this is [[[[[[______]]]]]] real evolution.  not the pseudo-evolution [[[pimped out by;;; spread ]]]]]] that is violent, primitive, sesual urges.
*and moral behavior.  of empathy, of feelings, emotions, of seeing others as sentient, conscious creatures.  
something that serial killes are not capable of doing.  seeing others as equals, as members of the same species.  seeing them as worthy of respect and worthy of being treated with dignity.  not simply thinking of them as worthy of being considered the same species, but also acknowledging that said species is an evolved, mentally aware species.

they do not seem to comprehend that cooperation is only possible from individuals that are capable of both
   
this of course, all comes from higher evolution.  which leads to higher IQ.  Which leads to a capacity for critical thinking.  It leads to a capacity for understanding and comprehending abstract concepts.

----
I have to disagree with any categorization of mathematics and spatial skills as "abstract" concepts.  These are very much concrete.  These are not abstract, elusive concepts.  These are not wishy-washy opinions, there is none of that "there is no right or wrong answer" nonsense.  Nope.   These have distinct solutions and distinct answers.

These fields are also complex.  These require intelligence.  Just because these are concrete subjects does not mean they are simple.  It does not mean these are easy concepts to grasp.

Stepping back a few paces, having emotional quotient requires greater evolution.  Only higher order mammals have capacity for empathy, compassion, sympathy, putting oneself in another's shoes.

You see, the ability to understand mathematics requires even more evolution than that.  Especially when you enter the higher-order and graduate school-level mathematics such as multivariable calculus.  Which is why a person can have great emotional intelligence, empathy, compassion for fellow human beings while still sucking at math.

The topic of "equality"

I was always trumpeting the merits of equality in my younger days for the following reason:

Psychologists and political pundits never made any distinctions between the different groups of non-whites races.  Always, always, always, all minorities were lumped together in the same one big collective mass.  Public talking heads talked about minorities having more high school dropout rates, lower student performance all around.  more babies born out of wedlock, lower literacy rates, more violence, more crime, more gangs, more sexual promiscuity.  This was the pervasive current events trend back when I was in high school.

I witnessed with my own eyes that this was simply not true for *particular* minority groups.  Many of the minorities that my family and I personally knew (and still know) are nothing like that.  The south Asian Indian-Bengali subcontinent is where my famly is from, as are the large group of families that we are friends with in North Caorlina and here in South Carolina.  

All of them, and I do mean one hundred percent of them, are composed of husband-and-wife couples that have been married since at least nine months before their first kid was born.  All of them have at least Bachelor's degrees.  Many of them have Master's degrees in their chosen fields.  This is roughly equal between women and men.  Many of them have degrees in some sort of critical science field.  Again, this includes the women as well as the men.  All of them either work in industry or are college professors.  There are a handful of medical___

My average is better than your average

Ahhh.  Finally the complete, detailed, unfiltered truth comes out.
At long last, science has confirmed what I, and most people, have always suspected to be the truth.

(((((On the subject of Asians having higher IQs than whites, and whites having higher IQs than blacks.)))  Ahh.  That's more like it.  I breathe a sigh of relief.  At long last, they are giving us the __ detailed, *whole* truth.  I settle back in smug, comfortable victory.

__Full, whole, unabridged, unedited truth

(((((*I had been first introduced to the idea of races expressing IQ DIFFERENCES back when I was in high school.  I was vehemently against this idea
((((Since part of it was not true, I dismissed all of it as being false.))))  Because that great big detail was quite obviously untrue, I dismissed all of it as utter hogwash.
((((Now that I am older and wiser))))
IQ editings(for when ahh the truth finally is uncovered, has cast off its shroud ((((blanket)))
Back then,,They lumped all minorities together into one broad spectrum___
Jumbled them all toge into a into one lump sum

I am ok wi it because these scores consistently reveal Asians coming out on top.  Mathematics scores, verbal skills, SATS, national scholar scores, innate ability, IQ tests, everything.

The reason I was so adamantly against this when I was in my youth was that the general media reports made no distinctions whatsoever between the non-white races.  The mass media divided the entire human race into only two categories --- white and other.

But now more recently, the mass media has finally twigged onto the fact that not all minority races are created equal.
