You can't maintain a Ponzi scheme without more contributors than beneficiaries.

this is bad psychology and bad economics: 1. welfare rewards irresponsible people with money from responsible people. thus killing societies, though over generations 2. even if welfare treshold depended on IQ, it would depend on IQ distribution, not on society’s overall IQ level
-
The distribution would eventually stabilize and as the average gets lower the trnd continues until collapse, because the welfare state encourages irresponsible reproduction, and tends to produce less economically productive citizens, see above. Takes many generations sure.

You cannot have open borders and a generous welfare state. Recipe for disaster.

If a welfare state must exist, there are simple mechanisms that can be enacted like benefit moratoriums for non-citizens & minimum reside periods for their Canadian born children that could alleviate abuse & strain on the system. But being practical isn't a political strong suit.

Welfare state contributes to the destruction of society, by making people having the illusion that they don't need each other.

Example -- Without welfare state, single mother and child are at high risk of dying, or doing very bad.

Probably true, but a welfare state has to have high levels of interpersonal trust too, which usually means pretty mono-ethnic. Japan, pre-90s Sweden, Finland etc

I always assumed that was the statist objective, crash the system so they can rebuild a more centrally managed economy.

IQ measures ability to fit into a society based on the complexities of a western society & culture. As in rule of law, property, individualism. Western culture where Merit is rewarded. IQ does not work under socialism because anyone with high IQ is deported to Gulag for a reason.

Scarcity = Production - Consumption. IQ is highly correlated with productivity, whilst consumption is mostly flat (even inverse). The consequences for an average decrease are self-evident.

Stefan isn’t boasting about his iq. He is trying to convey that society is a system that requires a certain mean iq to maintain or it slips downward.
-
Yeah but also, he's wrong. Libya was a socialist state, and ask him about Libyan's IQ test results. They were the richest African nation, then Hillary happebed.

The moment Stefan finally acknowledges that national socialism is a viable alternative to anarcho-capitalism...
