Where would you rather live? In a multi-ethnic, mean IQ 130 country, or a single-ethnic mean IQ 100 country (same ethnic as you)?

Or they look at China and see how smart non-Westerners not necessarily can achieve democracy or fight corruption.
@KirkegaardEmil
China is a weird outlier, not something to generalize from. The other high IQ Asians do alright. 30 mean IQ is a huge effect. A better q is

to ask about many compositions with different mean IQs, values and religious. Then regress and see what people really care about.

I don't think it will work well to just straight out ask how many IQs they think cultural homogeneity is worth. They may not know the answer

@KirkegaardEmil China isn't an outlier. Look at Russia, the rest of NE Europe, N Korea. Low WEIRDness hurts.@Paradigmian @MarkF60 -
China is a big outlier, look at S ~ IQ scatterplot.
-
a big outlier, indeed, at 1.4B people. (~_^) e asians/slavs all(?) lower S than WEIRDS.
@JayMan471@Paradigmian @MarkF60 -
Yes, but effect way too large if estimated from China alone. WEIRD are higher than expected on IQ, but not that much.
-
but consistently higher. wrt china, just sayin' size matters irl. (~_^)
@JayMan471@Paradigmian @MarkF60 -
Not wise to weigh countries by sample size directly. Gives too much weight to semi-random political decisions that affect large population.
-
if size mattered in this regard, you'd think india would be an outlier in s asia.
@JayMan471@Paradigmian @MarkF60 -
I am referring to doing a weighted analysis with n as weight instead of unweighted (current plot). See discussion in Admixture in Americas.
