[QUOTE="Simeon_Strangelight, post: 1102685, member: 6783"] I never meant 20 years. I meant hundreds of years. 100 years would require massive directed eugenics measures and they won't be happening. The IQ tests were rather correct because Swedes with zero English language skills came in higher. The Hajnal line was real - I am myself of German-Austrian and Polish descent. They burned the last witch in Poland in the year 1810. There was a major discrepancy between the educated city dwellers, the large partly inbred nobility and the rural population who too often married their cousins - even first ones. The country was pretty backwards despite having millions of high-IQ intellectuals living in the cities. Of course India is more backwards than Poland was in the last 200 years, so it will take longer to get out of this, but it will happen. They are fiercely k-selected, if they can get rid of the caste thinking, then this will become reality for the whole continent. And if it takes 200-300 years for the whole continent, then so be it. Bangladesh by the way has another problem - Islam. That is such a civilization destroyer which automatically lowers IQ and destroys work ethic, that I have little hope for that place. [/QUOTE]
