Another theory on Race & IQ: Capitalism affects genetics.

I believed I've reached a new conclusion on why exactly do certain races perform differently but more importantly, what does IQ tell us about differences among similar races.

How I did this, ironically came from one argument I see posted on here. It was the "White Rhodesians defeat thousands of Black Gurrillas despite being outnumbered" argument. Now, that's suppose to be an argument that White & Black IQ differences were severe enough for Rhodesian to be handed a victory in war, which I don't deny. However, digging around, I also found another example of whites still massively slaughtering another enemy, but of the same skin color. That is, the Boer Wars in Africa.

Despite both Brits and Boers both sharing a common ancestry (Europe), why were the Boers able to massively resist the much larger British Army in the same fashion? Fast-forward 20 years later and the same thing nearly happens.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War

Of course, Britain later won yet looking at the casualties, it's disproportionately higher again with British dead compared to the Boers.

So what's the reason that Whites could still massively lose against other Whites if genetically they're both from the same region.

My answer: Money. Money can be used to naturally select for a smarter and more prosperous nation. This is because you're paying to get the best out of education, healthcare, technology that each new generation of people are expected to value and as a result, society becomes more intelligent.

But then you might say "so then why didn't British losses go down in the Second Boer War?".

The reason they won the war, is because they could afford it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Boer_War#Cost_of_the_war

Britain maintained colonies all over the world and were way past the industrialization stage. It took them 20 more years after their initial defeat, but they had a new generation of people who had become wealthier and most likely better trained, that they would be more ready for a victory.

This same inter race competition can also be seen in the Sino-Japanese wars.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First_Sino-Japanese_War

Both Chinese and Japanese are biologically similar, yet victory was still massively handed in Japan's favor. Again, why this happens is because Japan began selecting for a population of people who wanted to be apart of the industrial revolution. China was still stuck in its civil war stage and thus, could not leverage that same IQ selection that taking people out from the fields and employing them in cities that Japan was after.

So in conclusion, do race differences in IQ exist? Perhaps to a leaning strong yes. But what is more important is that all societies around the world need to form governments that are willing to foster a culture where money is spent on its own people so they can lift pass any biological limits and become just as successful as the richest countries that do exist.
