You're a funny troll.
Who knows why you think I either take orders from you or speak for others other than to indicate it reveals a severe case of rightardism on your part. Regardless, my guess is that you're from one of them "dumb" red states.
Could bw worse. I could be you. But it's rather odd, isn't it? I just did what you did -- posted facts.
Nope. Posting facts and posting the truth are two different things. For instance, the "facts" you posted do not measure intelligence. They measure education. Of course, you are not intelligent enough to understand this. Sucks to be you.
You really are dumb enough to think IQ, one of the measures of what I posted, measures education and not intelligence.
One can only guess what rightards think the "I" in IQ stands for if not intelligence.
Still, I posted facts, just as you did.
And you are not bad at twisting the facts. The simple fact is that there is no difference in IQ between red and blue states. Here is the truth, if you can handle it. I suggest you take a look at this. I'm guessing that you don't like looking like a fool. So educate yourself, then get back to me. We'll see if it's really impossible to fix stupid.
Blue State and Red State IQ is identical - Tino Sanandaji
Actually, had you looked at the underlying census data the author of that article relied upon...
http://www.people.vcu.edu/~mamcdani/Publications/McDaniel (2006) Estimating state IQ.pdf
... you would have seen the average IQ's of red versus blue states are not "identical." There is a deviance of several points with the all of the top 10, almost all northern Liberal states, leaning north of 100; while all of the bottom 10, almost all southern conservative states, leaning south of 100.
Even worse for you -- regarding IQ by state, the underlying census data which was referenced in the article YOU linked
is the exact same data source I posted.
You're such a dullard, you actually confirmed what I posted without even realizing it.
Looking more carefully at the list, the results are not that consistent. Red Midwestern and Mountain states such as the Dakotas, Montana, Kansas, Nebraska, Wyoming and Idaho do quite well. Meanwhile, large blue states such as California, Maryland and Illinois have unimpressive scores. So let’s just estimate the average for all the Red states, and all the Blue states, weighted by the population of each state.
The result is not really surprising: The average I.Q level of Blue and Red States is identical: Blue States have an average IQ of 99.5 and Red States have an average I.Q of 99.4.
It would be strange if we found large differences, since we know from exit polls that Republican voters are on average no less educated than Democrat voters, and since I.Q and education are strongly correlated.
If the District of Columbia is included, the Red States would score slightly higher than the Blue states (although with I.Q a 1 point difference is meaningless).
Unless Democrats can produce a micro-study of adult voters that demonstrates that Democrat voters have significantly higher I.Q than Republican voters, they should respect the state of science and stop spreading the myth that they are smarter than everyone else.
Now, who's the idiot? I believe you are.
