Utopia Talk / Politics / Science: Racism/conservatism == low IQ

williamthebastard rank	Wed Feb 18 18:56:19 "Longitudinal studies provide some of the most convincing evidence. One such study looked at general intelligence in 10- and 11-year-old kids, and then re-studied those kids as adults two decades later—and found a clear connection between low intelligence and subsequent racism and sexism. Similarly, higher intelligence in childhood has been shown to predict less racism in adulthood. These analyses strongly suggest that low intelligence actually leads to hateful attitudes later on. This is just a sampling of the accruing evidence on this point, all of which points to another puzzling question: Why? Why would verbal ability and math skills and other cognitive assets translate, over the years, into such hateful attitudes? Dhont and Hodson believe they have an answer to this, again one based on rigorous abundant evidence. Their theory is that right-wing ideologies attract people with lower mental abilities because they minimize the complexity of the world.

Dhont and Hodson believe they have an answer to this, again one based on rigorous abundant evidence. Their theory is that right-wing ideologies attract people with lower mental abilities because they minimize the complexity of the world. Considerable evidence shows that conservative ideology predicts all sorts of prejudice—against ethnic and racial minorities, the disadvantaged, any outgroup. Indeed, right wingers are much more likely to see outgroups as a threat to traditional values and social order, resulting in heightened prejudice. Dhont and Hodson tested and confirmed this mediation model: Lower childhood intelligence clearly predicts right-wing ideology and attitude, which in turn predicts prejudice in adulthood. The weight of evidence is hard to ignore, yet according to these scientists, it is conspicuously absent from contemporary theories of prejudice. They believe that it’s time for psychological scientists to stop ignoring the evidence—that in fact the field will benefit from open discussion of these controversial findings. The country might as well, and the events in Ferguson may well trigger that discussion. http://www...quent%20racism%20and%20sexism. http://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22222219/ http://www...n-between-racism-and-cognition http://www.nbcnews.com/id/wbna46150734

Sam Adams rank	Wed Feb 18 20:19:27 Yes, anti white racism is strongly connected to low IQ, agreed.
williamthebastard rank	Wed Feb 18 20:33:08 Do you think your low IQ is the reason you made up a fantasy that doesnt exist in the real world that these studies are about anti white racism?
williamthebastard rank	Wed Feb 18 20:35:09 Im interested, because Im not sure if its down to your scientifically document low IQ or your fear of the real world, or if theyre both the same thing. If so, what makes you so terrified of the real world that you have to constantly create fantasies in the darkest corners of your vacant skull, crawl in and throw away the key and sit there in the dark sucking on a pacifier?
Sam Adams rank	Wed Feb 18 20:52:26 "create fantasies in the darkest corners of your vacant skull, crawl in and throw away the key and sit there in the dark sucking on a pacifier?" That was a coherent and creative insult. Congratulations. Your meds are working? You seem to be less insane the last few days. Anyway it is quite obvious that anti white racism is a common yet low IQ belief amongst the various left wing political parties in the world today. This is indisputable and you know it.
williamthebastard rank	Wed Feb 18 20:56:10 Gotcha. Your low IQ causes fear. Despite having diluted and muddied links to superior European genes, you dont have a good brain, so it perceives “different” as “wrong”, which unsettles your world, like a dog cowering beneath a bed during a thunder storm. The trouble is, youre a dog that bites in fear of anyone approaching the bed. Sometimes, dogs that react with aggression when they encounter things that confuse them get put down. Let us hope that science doesnt lead us to the same solution for human equivalents in the future and that we can find other ways of treating your scientifically established low IQ-based racism
Forwyn rank	Wed Feb 18 21:25:10 I suppose that explains why non-Western nations display extreme racism and sexism, far above the norm that we are used to.

williamthebastard rank	Wed Feb 18 21:37:22 But did Formoron just state that countries that provide lower levels of education are more racist? Hmmm, what would that entail?
