why does IQ matter when even octopi and crows have advanced problem solving skills?

Surely this shows that even if you're smart, without sufficient support or opportunities you're effectively just like anybody else?

I dont care about the bs discussion, I just want to see more animals problem solving.

No, it just shows that there is diversity in life and humans arent exempt from evolution

Because they solve the problems but do it only for food/own safety.
They do not indulge in the "why" thinking, but rather "how".

Straya, my men, iq is not your mind "powerlevel"; If I have a math problem infornt of my and I have 110 IQ and my firiend has 120IQ, this does not mean automatically that he will be able to solve it and I wont because:
>IQ is not like a fisical mesurment, I mean if I mesure the size of the screen of my PC and I mesure it tomorrow I will get the same result but with IQ does not happen the same
IQ is more important for grups than for individuals, IQ is the most important resource a nation can have, thats why east asia and white countries are rich and everyone else is poor

I don't know, crows are pretty fucking smart desu. I feed them french fries when I go out, at first there was only 2, then the next day there was 5, and then 10. As if they were telling each other I was the french fry man. They recognized my car.

there's probably dumb crows

here's a story of a bird who was as smart as a 5 year old and could have a limited conversation.

also had problem solvings. they suspect it was a mutant or something.

Opinion discarded.

Use Octopuses like everyone else, nerd.

Nah, that one is pretty easy to explain:
Day one - 2 stray crows

Day three - 5 stray crows + 5 crows from the day before

How much more welfare and affirmative action is it going to take, then, OP?
>>
>>69439379
I think advanced playing behaviour is even more impressive than problem solving somehow. Like this crow that clearly enjoys snowboarding.

Octopus isn't a latin word, it's greek
They've got different grammar rules
>>
>>69439336

Certain "races", do seem to have different emotional intelligence. Verbal and visual intelligence may be unrelated to the behavior unfitting of a civilized citizen.

They react differently as a whole to the same stimuli.

Sorry, was that the Marxist experiment played on me? To prove that treating someone like a complete outsider leads to unsuccessfulness?

Why does IQ matter? Because on an even playing field I'm better at you than everything, the fact that the field needed to be tilted against me proves that perfectly. Why the affirmative action if IQ doesn't matter?

>>69439336

Crows are crazy smart. Once watched a pair of them take on a large group of robins. They were after an injured robin that was on the ground. They were defending the injured bird with all they had. They left and came back with a plan, the smaller crow ran interference and drew away most of the flock while the larger crow swooped in, picked up the robin and flew away with it with only the matriarch I assume giving chase. The crow then dropped the robin from about 25 feel onto my hard asphalt drive way killing it. The smaller crow buzzed off the matriarch and then they picked the dead bird back up and left with their breakfast. Was amazing to watch.

Crows show understanding of delayed gratification which is an indicator of great intelligence.

Rather than eat a single piece of bread, crows have been observed using the bread to catch fish.

To understand that they can either have a small prize, or use that prize to obtain something better in the future requires complex thought processes.

Human children don't learn this until around the age of four and its clear that some people never truly understand this concept.

wonder if this can be applied to political views somehow.

some people are fixated on the immediate 'feel good' reaction of letting in millions of refugees but don't see the long term consequences or the benefit of not doing it.

Maybe not in our human terms, but problem solving does require some brain power. That's why it's funny to see dog owners treat their fleabags as if they were smart for catching ball.
>>
>>69439336

The thing is that advanced problem solving skills often pop up in species that routinely have to deal with scarcity (in the case of whites and crows; winter that turns the whole country into a desolate wasteland), since this selects for long term thinking.

Africa doesn't really know scarcity beyond the sense that you cannot support millions of people on hunting/gathering and exporting almost all your agriculture as luxury goods.
>>
>>69440665
>>69441329
They can notice and imitate other species behaviour. It's not a big deal.
>>
>>69440122

>Language

Not entirely. There are a couple of species on the planet that communicate through sound on a level complex enough to have regional dialects. Crows, again, are among those.
