..and yet most of the Western world have welfare systems that encourage the least capable to breed

Genetics do not tell the whole story — one’s environment is equally, if not more, important.

As with pretty much everything else. So?

I think the conclusion is axiomatic, but: exposing children to enriched curriculum & experiences (environment) will increase IQ in a more dramatic way than selective breeding practices of pairing high IQ persons (genes).

So I need to corner a high IQ woman and defeat her at chess. Will this make her Hot for me? High IQ women will prefer salary/money and Good looks and might obtain that too. And the same is always the arena of Jocks & sociopaths, not of High IQ. Thus is the mob ever victorious.

TBH, I prefer high-IQ men. But I’m taken, by the only man I’d ever admit was my intellectual superior. (Deny it though they will, all women want men who are their superiors in some important aspect.)

Of course. But the previous commenter said we need to put interventions in place to raise the mean IQ, what are some interventions we can work on today?

Once you've got things like iodine and basic nutrition in place, there really aren't any. Nothing lasting, not education, not whatever. There mayyyyy be something to be discovered in unshared environmental influences, but I'm not aware of any interventions that can raise IQ.

@cokewithastraw or throw out the faulty assumptions you're basing this on

And what assumptions would those be?

that it's due to genetics instead of inequal educational funding

You can't have it both ways. Either it doesn't accurately measure intelligence or low IQ is due to the lack of educational funding. Pick a lane.

but I can. If not one then the other, or both. Don't be myopic

If it doesn't accurately measure intelligence then how does education funding relate to it?
