Why aren't more academics looking at greater depth into the Low IQ-Poor Health association, suggested by Satoshi Kanazawa? Surely if there is strong evidence supporting this then the global community will be able to put an end to the constant humanitarian crisis, and perhaps reduce violent behaviour (militant groups) simultaneously (due to the association).
If it is found to be the case, there would be reason (and hence funding) to make an effort to increase the average IQ through:
-Improving the gene pool by artificial promotion of intelligence as an attractive feature for reproduction (e.g. via propaganda)
-Promotion of the demonstration of intelligence as an attractive social feature
-Sterilisation of especially low IQ/High poverty individuals (if economically feasible)
Though the ethical status of the latter point is questionable at best; it seems warranted given the number of lives born into highly unsanitary, disease-ridden, high stress environments.

This is never gonna work. Women evolved to be anti-intellectual. They will always prefer the loud dumb tall Chad and will always despise the lonely nerd.

Admittedly, I hadn't noticed that. Though this is about its application in sub-Saharan Africa specifically.

Do you have anything to substantiate that or are you just stating it to suit your beliefs?
Also, is anyone aware of any studies on the effects of propaganda on non-physical attraction?

There is no such thing as "non-physical" attraction. Women are purely sexual beings. They are only attracted to a man who looks like his dick can pleasure them, i.e. a Chad.

You are talking about eugenics. This has been done in the United States too and look where you guys are at. Average IQ of ~90.

>Why aren't more academics looking
Because there are a finite number of academics in the world at any given time. Are you asking people to randomly pretend to be experts outside their field of expertise or are you just doing the same old meme science shitposting that ignorant non-/sci/ boards like to comment on?
>>8039131
I love that Kanazawa sees a correlation between poor health and low IQ and spins that as low IQ causing poor health. This despite an overwhelmingly large body of evidence showing a link between malnutrition and developmental issues. The brain is no exception to any other body part in that poor nutrition significantly inhibits development.

Why. Why do you hate science?

PUA memes are consistently wrong.
Google 'demisexual'. There's an entire planet there to disagree with you. As if designed by an intelligent creator or something.

Its the current year. Now take more superior arabs.
If forced sterilization is an acceptable moral/ethical decision, then so is letting them live in misery.
How do you even consider to implement such a program in a region which lacks individual, social and economic security? Asking why this hasn't been established yet is equivalent to asking why we haven't overcome global malnutrition yet. The main difference is that the latter is far easier to achieve and we're unable to achieve even that.
Besides, your third point is just a stupid idea to begin with as intelligence isn't inherited.

Do you know what gene therapy is?
There must be some reason besides random cultural differences... Yes, I do think it very possible.
Deficiencies in some nutrients are proven to lower iq by like 20 points, and some areas of the world do have these problems, maybe due to the geography of the area they live in
