lack of iodine in indian diet causes low iq, indian iq now on hte rise
harmony
has been doing a lot of work to come up with a model of India's potential
average IQ. This is one of the most important questions for predicting
the
course of the 21st Century.
The first edition of Lynn and Vanhanen's IQ and the Wealth of Nations
reported four studies from India from 1959-1986, with averages varying
only across a rather narrow range of 78-82.
On the other hand, as I've pointed out since 2002, India is the most
complicated country in the world, so it's hard to get a nationally
representative sample.
Further, the higher IQs registered by Indians in their diaspora, like
the
higher IQs recorded by African Americans and West Indians compared to
Africans, suggests that better nutrition, health, education, and so
forth
could raise the relative standing of Indians. After all, they've been
plagued by extreme poverty, which is starting to abate. For example,
India
is particularly beset by lack of iodine in the diet, which is a
relatively
easy IQ-lowering problem to deal with.

Wouldn't hurt you at all to do so yourself, and throw in some fish or
kelp for good measure. You sorely need it.

(1b) your link's linked quote: "One potential problem that jumps out at
me with Rec1Man's approach, though, is the potential for disparate
fertility interfering with improving environmental conditions. Are
fertility rates the same across all groups, or are lower IQ groups
growing faster? The Bombay Parsis, who were the most affluent and
educated group in India for much of the 20th century, are said to be
imploding demographically. If IQ, education, and declining fertility are
correlated, then dysgenic / dyscultural effects could undermine some of
the gains from an improved environment."
(1c) Also quoted from your link's linked quote: "Granted, we haven't
seen much hard evidence of a dysgenic / dyscultural relative effect yet.
But, then, we haven't seen much hard evidence of a positive Flynn
relative effect. We've seen lots of evidence of an absolute Flynn
effect, but little evidence of countries shifting relative average IQs,
as I documented here.

"We've probably seen more evidence of relative changes in height than
relative changes in IQ."

At least China had/has a one-child policy, however imperfect.

an Indian with a million ton of Iodine salt, that Indian would still
be as smart as a piece of cucumber

5000 years ago Indians have their calculation for their
Gods
Vishnu and Shiva.
Indians were the First human group to
have the idea of 0 , and Billions .
5000 years ago ,
Indians already had Kali Yuga which is 432 , 000 years
concept ,
Indians 5000 years ago have a Chatra Yuga which is 4, 320,000
years .
5000 years ago , Indians believed that
a 12 hours span of their Indian God Vishnu
was 1000 Chatra Yuga
which is a 4 , 320 , 000 , 000 years period .
for a 24 hours life span of their Indian God Vishnu ,
the Indians calculated 5000 years ago to be
8, 640,000,000 years .
that is 8 . 64 billion years .
2000 years ago, in the Western Society ,
the White couldn ' t even imagine
any thing above 3000 years old .
so don 't insult the Indians

the literacy is fast growing in india. in one decade the nation will be
95pct literate and population trend will reverse. the national iq average
will rise to 120, consistent with pre-islamic days, 1000 years back.
here is a win-win deal:
china could help relocate some of indian muslim seamlessly to the vast
spacious islamic western china. china is going to need additional people by
then because its one child policy is going to create labor shortage for its
fast growing economy.
