No, sorry but you're totally off here. 100 is the average IQ always because the system was built to always keep 100 as the average. Its relative. Langan is correct despite you basically calling him a retard

You failed at reading and comprehension. Have you even read the first sentence?

> Langan is correct despite you basically calling him a retard

To say this requires you to not have read what I write.

Why should I explain to you anything when I see you are barely literate?

> The average IQ sure always has the average 100...The world average IQ is ~89

I read your comment, you arent showing an understanding of how IQ actually works. Could you explain your point better to me instead of sperging out?

Sure. The average IQ of Western/European countries is ~100, and for us the interesting part is the individual deviation. It is also normalized for age, which is why it stabilizes around age 25. The reason the standard is the West/Europe, is because "we" invented it. Not the Japanese, not the Chinese, not Indians, not Brazilians.

By using the same tests (translated), how would other countries perform? The reason India gets ~77 is because on average they score on tests as well as those with 77 IQ over here. Internally they sure normalize it to 100.

If you'd run this comparison for every country on the entire planet, you'd get [varying average IQs for each country](https://www.worlddata.info/iq-by-country.php). Using that, considering population sizes, you get a world average. And it's ~90 and falling.

The normalization process isn't automatic either - you need to apply it properly - to do the math right.

He is wasted potential, and his alleged IQ appears to be overblown. Smart, sure, but not even close to the likes of Newton, Da Vinci, Nikola Tesla, Michelangelo, etc. He is correct about his views, but what did he actually accomplish? What is his magnum opus? That's my point.

Yeah, but it's just *some* theory that cannot be proven. It has no positive effect on humanity. It doesn't advance us technologically, it doesn't tell us to not do us, it doesn't result in anything that is produced, it has no application in computers. At least Astronomy has a tiny relation to reality, a very tiny one because none of it really matters to our lives except entertainment (which I still appreciate as such), but the CTMU is just a parallel to Christian beliefs or a simulation theory.

Don't get me wrong, it's sure nice, but... it's insignificant.
