They’re not the “smartest“, they’re just best at a single test called raven’s progressive matrices. That is what IQ is based on.
That doesn’t mean to say they’re not intelligent, but it’s like saying the best car in the world is a Prius because it has very high MPGs without taking any other metric into consideration.

Chris Langan is a fucking obnoxious retard who makes shit up to sound smart. He has zero clue what the fuck he's talking about from one moment to the next, but he uses a lot of sophisticated terminology which tricks midwits such as yourself into believing his act.
This is like the standard breadtube midwit take on Langan. Langan is a prickly guy who is not always the most diplomatic. But I have listened to a lot of his stuff and his points are coherent and he uses terminology correctly.
