Or they look at China and see how smart non-Westerners not necessarily can achieve democracy or fight corruption. @KirkegaardEmil

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 -

Do you have it plotted somewhere?
@Paradigmian @MarkF60 -
I'd love to see an English version of the plot
@Paradigmian @MarkF60 -
Doesn't matter for this purpose as you can obviously make out almost all the countries. China = Kina, the biggest outlier in the entire plot

If you look at the whole globe, you'll see a strong IQ correlation because it's hard to do much...

...well with low IQ. When you limit things to high IQ (>92) countries only a clear pattern emerges.
