Intelligence and cultural/societal outcomes

Is it safe to say that genetic groups with lower average IQ's tend to make poor decisions that affect outcomes? If this is true why are we enabling or subsidizing groups with these genetic traits to reproduce at much faster rates than higher IQ groups who make better decisions?
Aren't these policies much more dangerous to humanity long term than any type of environmental effects?

I don't know if there is a correlation between raw IQ and decision making
Sounds like you just made up a bunch of shite in your head that you want to be true to be honest
Actually the more I read it, the more I question if you are ironically one of the lower average IQ people you're referring to

A less educated populous is easier to control.

for example would you say that on average better outcomes occur in Hong Kong vs. Equitorial Guinea?
Which happen to be first and last in IQ by country

while i do agree in a very broad, theoretical sense
the ultimate logical conclusion of that process is a final solution that's scary
the bigger issue is what we do with the ever-increasing population that is of little or negative economic value. it's going to overtake moderate and above-average intelligent populations faster than we realize

Americans don't want to see children starve, no matter how stupid their parents are.

the trade off is you, by and large, doom them to suboptimal economic value and make their life much more difficult long term

The will collapse upon themselves if we don't feed them, most would have already without the technology provided by advanced western civilizaions

Opiate epidemic, HIV/AIDS, gang and gun violence, drug addiction... These are all very commonplace in these "less desirable" populations and act as population control.

Not a very solid one
Steve Jobs for instance...very intelligent. Thinks he can beat cancer with alternative medicine. He's fricking dead. Terrible decision.

yeah but that's just one decision. a major mistake, but just one
you have to look at the whole big picture

Because those who benefit from this practice rarely have to live with or intermingle with the results of such stupid policies.

EVERYONE makes SOME bad decisions. We are talking about in the aggregate. There is no denying that more intelligent people make more good decisions than less intelligent folks.

You mine them for profit. They are the type of people that dont have three lawyers in their family and when the get hit by an 18 wheeler they call you. I know that sounds bad, but I'm about to retire at 50.

great sample there genius.........thanks for grouping yourself for us (low IQ)

High IQ are not immune to making poor decisions. They just don’t make as many.
There is a reason low IQ people are mostly fat and poor.

there is something to be said about this
people who have to live and work with the lower class mindset folks tend to be much more frustrated with that population
i'm about t go to Kroger and there's at least a 25% chance that my mind will be literally blown at the idiocy i see at self checkout

They make a ton of compounding bad decisions, usually because their low IQ parents did the same.
