i dont understand this belief that americans are dumb to begin with

https://brainstats.com/average-iq-by-country.html

tied for 9th with many european nations. separated only by a few iq points with the others, but then again our population is a lot higher. if you were to shrink our population relative to lets say italy, americans would blow these guys out of the water.

you should visit the american south sometime lol

and our education sucks

I think europeans just like to say we are dumb cause we are a new country, and they see us as children. and Europeans see themselves as superior to us just cause of their older history like that somehow makes them better

I think it's because the US education system generally ranks low compared to fellow developed countries

US has a 98 average probably because the costal states and the north are like 20 points over 98 and the south/rust belt/Bible Belt are like 20 points below 98

shrinking = streamlining our population, meaning dumping most of the dumbest states from the equation most definitely raises our average iq.

you failing to understand my point (basic human logic) isnt really helping our case.

shrinking = streamlining our population, meaning dumping most of the dumbest states from the equation most definitely raises our average iq.

...sorry I've not been following this conversation, but did you just try to say "yeah, America has a low average IQ because of dumb people, but let's not count them"? Because if so, WOW.

edit: european nations dont have the kind of discrepancy in iq that we do. if you streamline it you get a truer measurement

A large standard deviation is still part of a "true" measurement. Changing it in any way (such as "streamlining") makes the measurement less true, since you're implying precision that doesn't actually exist
