Isn't it interesting that an urban culture is the baseline and non urban cultures have "lower" IQ, while the super urban cultures in Asia have a "higher" IQ.
And since this discussion is about serving in the military, Europeans are by nature "average" soldiers, Africans "below average" soldiers, and Chinese "above average" soldiers. Yah shur.
