Stands to reason that a population with a lower IQ is less likely to develop upwards in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. Not that the mean streets cannot produce cunning, but this behavior is not they way people want to live, having to keep their guard up constantly because you can't trust anyone. GREAT channel that I really find thought provoking.
G'day Scare Crow. Thanks for your comment. I did not mean you could change your own genetics (or someone else's). I meant a nation's IQ could be changed, for better and for worse, through migration and disparate birth rates. If you listen to that section of the interview again, you will see what I mean. Cheers. (That is also clear in the book, where I address the topic with more precision and detail.)
Love your content Maryann!
Isn't the rather anarchic policy of current mass immigration into the U.S. and Europe about that?
To create chaos and lower IQ?

The "genetic element" can be changed?
Sure, over a period of a few thousand years - maybe, if everything goes well.
Lets all take a trip to Haiti to find a spouse to start this long term process.
You first, Maryann and Fergus. I'll be right behind you - promise.
