"I'm sub-saharan African, but I think I'll manage to read the papers just fine."
You ask for a good faith discussion but immediately start out with taking it personal. In quite a low effort way, as surely I don't have to explain what a "median" is, and how this has nothing to do with you as an individual?
As for sources, you'll find an endless amount of them by searching for "IQ per country". There's a lot of research methods that are criticized and refined over time but the conclusion stays the same regardless.
Causes are also discussed: lack of education, malnutrition, infectious diseases, the like.
Whether it's IQ or education level or the correlation between them (it's complicated) the original point by the parent commenter is that this disadvantage is catastrophic.
But hey, I'm sure it's nothing.

In quite a low effort way, as surely I don't have to explain what a "median" is, and how this has nothing to do with you as an individual? Now we've got the personal stuff out of the way - may you kindly provide your sources to save yourself time explaining what a "median" is. We can not have a decent discussion if we are not basing off of a common set of priors, which is why I'm asking for citations on your end. One cannot have constructive Physics discussion with an alien from a universe with different fundamental constants - citations are a way for me to check if we have the same constants, otherwise the discussion will be unfruitful to both of us.
- fleddr 4y agoI've already concluded it to not be fruitful.
