Mini-Post № 5 – Nation Building?
Our Earth today shudders
as assorted humans brazenly bang at KA-BOOM buttons.
Climate Change (CC)
has arrived[i].
Financial system
collapse will happen v-soon[ii].
Artificial intelligence
(AI) delivers the useless class[v].
Our response has
been to lionize sportsmen[viii],
film stars, innumerable gods, my-gender-stories, protest pay gaps and banning speakers in the name of
free speech and other nonsenses over and over. And we jump through the hoop for
the estimated 1 billion disabled people[ix],
the thousands who cry ‘refugee’ to skip fixing their own problems, countless
abused pets and other majorities.
Yes - we need play-time, and we are as compassionate
as we are headstrong and vicious. For
sure all items need attention but ...
What of those who
can save us from ourselves and the politicians, nudge meteorites off-collision-course,
talk money-sense and ensure AI works for us without working us?
I reckon the whole
world has available to share only 15 million able men with
130 IQs and the necessary apprenticeships behind them.
My rough work appears
as a note[x] on my blog: http://www.douglasschorr.com/
Please check,
and look over the Brainstats IQ-Inequality
map - click to their article.
The calculation
serves to illustrate how desperately short we are of these essential supermen and, had I been able to calculate, ladies.
They are the one
true endangered minority.
Issue № 5 … ‘politicians are in charge’ … is the primary reason we need to
protect them above all.
Now it is said, it seems self-evident.
How about victory parades for folk earning doctorates? Media/TV features on recipients of masters’
degrees? And meet-your-hero gigs … complete with music & hot dogs? Promote real
stuff on national cricket, rugga and soccer etc. jerseys – our professors of
science and maths … dump the banksters?[xi]
Although us-normals
live in societies the super-smart created … e.g. let there be light to
administer the vaccine and Skype (via satellite)
the results … we still behave as if we are running about the savannah, letting emotion
take charge[xii].
Politicians are
necessary (to bridge masses to governance) but not sufficient.
Their masters,
the local elites, have failed to provide competent leadership and to protect
the interests of us all[xiii].
To South African
politicians - stop the brain-drain! You simply don’t have the reserves[xiv].
An overstaffed
government/GLCs of incompetents wielding rubber-stamps
is one thing.
Failing to
acknowledge, sidelining, the folk – our thin line of educators - who can save
the future guarantees disaster.
They are as abused
and poorly used as South African towns are falling apart[xv].
Understanding all
that …
Make core academics
and professionals teaching or in research or in practice the stars we aspire to
emulate.
Encourage children
to take the path of knowledge.
Take on an informal
unpaid self-study apprenticeship yourself.
Get to the
universities and government/private research centres[xvi];
drag your local government person along too.
Beg the staff for
easy-to-get-to public, regular, seminars on KA-BOOM buttons.
And question how
to ingrain national integrity, morals and ethics … all dust-binned in SA[xvii].
(Southern
African governments cannot even protect Rhinos. How to give the 1000 + babies born on Xmas Day hope?)
National
boundaries are irrelevant against the
big-5. We’re ALL in it – be loud in asking the super-folk for help to
understand WTF is going on.

[i] Think of CC as the
competitor who won the 100 m sprint. In winning the watching world has thrown pollution,
environmental degradation, wars and all at it but it won and now, like an
irritated dragon drawing fresh breath.

which is more than three times the size of the global economy, according to an
analysis by the Institute of International Finance” … Tyler Durden

were peasants, them and royals but while the peasants have moved up, they aren’t
pleasant and royal means leech.
[x] 42% of the world population are below 25 … most haven’t yet fully
engaged the frontal cortex. 9%, o/65,
are actively practicing forgetting.
Therefore by
my (hand & finger enhanced) calculation we have only 49% active (25-65).
But half of
those are women. That’s great news
But … there is
always an effing but … many of that half come from countries where they are
chattels. Roughly 500,000 million are Muslims, and none of the top 6
mostly-Muslim nations are recorded as having IQ scores where the average is
over 90 … an opportunity for the future.
At a guess
only the women of Western Europe (140m see
https://www.indexmundi.com/european_union/demographics_profile.html), Eastern
Europe (90m see https://www.populationpyramid.net/eastern-europe/2016/), North
America and southern South America with major advances coming from Asia
(China-Japan-Korea) participate fully in world governance in any form – THAT’S
BAD … They’re the gender that (most usually) understand the value of TLC,
community and discipline. And deductions
have to be made for those who (wisely) work part-time or at home alone. The
figure is so elusive I turned to check out the males.
Adult
(physically) men contribute half of that adult pool of 49%.
But … in terms
of saving the world … write-off 90% of African males (say 270m (I got my ratios
here http://en.worldstat.info/Africa), a good chunk of the North and West of
South America because they’ve not developed the smarts (see
https://brainstats.com/average-iq-by-country.html) and most of the men of those
of the major Muslim nations (for a list see
https://www.thoughtco.com/worlds-muslim-population-2004480).
China has over
400 m adult males but urbanisation is at about 60% (https://indianexpress.com ›
World) so I’ve added in as participating only 250m.
49% = roughly
1.7 billion adult males. Make the deductions and the number of dudes with an IQ
with a suggested average of about 100 amounts at a guess, no more than 700m.
About 2% of
the 700 million have helpful IQ of 130 up … = 14 m.
