Scary stuff
Mar. 23rd, 2018 12:16 pmChina is the new "rising power", poised to challenge the "Pax Americana". If you are not worried, talk to China's neighbors (e.g., Vietnam) - they are scared to death.
There are 1.5B people in China, vs 300M in the US.
1:5 ratio.
Seems like not such a big deal in the age of technology.
Wrong.
It appears that the mean Chinese IQ is 105 (vs. mean US IQ of ~100).
Assuming the same variance (standard deviation = 15), they have
8 times as many people with IQ > 115 ("college material")
11 times as many people with IQ > 130 ("gifted")
14 times as many people with IQ > 145 ("brilliant")
19 times as many people with IQ > 160 ("genius")
but only
2 times as many people with IQ < 70 ("mental retardation").

Date: 2018-03-26 12:22 am (UTC)IQ помогает в любом деле, в т.ч. в завоевании мирового господства.
К "стремлению" он не причастен.
