How would a society develop if the average person was incredibly gifted relative to the average IQ of current western nations?

We will find out soon after the great culling of the 21st century (automation).

Average IQ in Sweden is ~100 more or less. Sweden is a nice country, but not very innovative compared to Germany/England/France or Italy

It would be mostly the same socially but that everything would work better. There are no such things as useful idiots; higher IQ people are better janitors, soldiers, waiters, truck drivers, etc along with their capacity for wielding higher arts and sciences. IQ is also highly correlated with EQ and openness/agreeableness meaning that everyone would be nicer and more empathetic. As a result, there would be more trust in one another and a radically different government to accomodate the needs of such a people.

Current high IQ nations at around 105 (japan, finland, korea) have dramatically fewer problems than their 100-average counterparts, though work culture issues are extremely prominent. We will likely never see a 120+ nation develop though due to the modern demands placed on high IQ peoples to find similarly intelligent people to breed with. Lack of options mostly explains the high virginity rates among more intelligent people, although lowered sex hormones also play a part.

I don't think you considered the fact that a lot of those jobs are extremely boring for people with high IQ, unless they are literally Savants. I think it would lead to a much unhappier society

Rarely does anyone actually work a job they enjoy. Manual labor is the same for everyone. IQ is associated with prestigious jobs only because there are so few high IQ people that qualify for them. This is a critical point about empathy that you're missing; the delivery guy or table busser would no longer just be a minion to other people
>>
>>2325137
Yeah shit anon, the whole idea of giving your kids better education so they can have better jobs is bullshit

I'll go work this sweet janitor job at my local highschool and make that kickin extra hundred a week selling cigarettes to the kids. Sounds more profitable and more fulfilling than being an engineer or an architect.

Well, enjoyment is a very unprecise term, but I think most intelligent people do care about their work and getting satisfaction out of it. The empathy aspect might actually get worse, if you know that they aren't physicially limited but ended up there due to lack of motivation and discipline

In my experience being way smarter than the people around me turned me into a dishonest shitbag.
Public school gave me that subtle narcissism where you behave like you're, humble and honest and while you make self deprecating jokes and leave subtle hints about how special you are, and superficially belive you are cool, but deep down its all to cover up feelings of inadequacy and un-belong.
Then I went and done did a lot of psychedelics and am legitimately honest, which puts a lot of people off.
Saves me the time of having to shift through the cool ones:

Anon the average in a nation with 130 IQ is still 100. If Everyone i smart then no one is.

This. Happiness can only be found in the animal side. The moment you start thinking about things you are fucked.

Such society would consist on single females with their offspring, and single males. Reproduction would be non-sexual and regulated by the state: males would donate sperm anonymously, then the state would filter out the bad genetic material and genetically engineer the selected sperm to avoid diseases. Females could be voluntarily inseminated in state facilities at a certain age and heavily subsidized to raise children.
Since the family no longer exists as we know it, most people would live alone in smaller homes with their cats/dogs. Virtual reality is the new drug. Suicide is legal and can be done in hospitals.

National Iq is the average of a nations iq.
Which is 100 hundered as iq is realitive to the population being surveyed and not determined by some universal rubric, you fucking idiot.
Of course Rwandas national average is low realitive to the averages of nations with proper education.

A society with an average IQ of 130 would look like nothing at all. IQ is supposed to be intellectual age over chronological age when dealing with children, but, beyond that, it is supposed to be a selection of a percentage out of the general spread of intelligence. The AVERAGE is always 100 (1:1 biological and intellectual age). If a whole society is clever, it still has an average IQ of 100, but it's 100 might be qualitatively better than another country's.

"Genius" is simply "top 2% of IQ of a given population," so it can be "smartest dumb people" or "smartest smart people.

In general, IQ is a medical/clinical term for institutional uses. It's lousy for every other use.

>retard reposts image macro out of context data cherry picked by a stormtard to confirm his obviously biased opinion.
Lmao
>doesn't get developmental plasticity
Environmental interaction is a huge determinant in how organisms develop, like the development of brain structure and cognitive ability.
The human brain is most plastic while young and developing and the environmental conditions that are present during development play a huge role in how the brain develops
>doesn't get that iq also measures crystallized intelligence(knowledge)
that has to do with education, you fucking idiot.
>doesn't get that human populations have had high levels of interbreeding and that populations that have been isolated where not for long on an evolutionary scale.
Like comparing varieties of apples

We'll find out soon enough:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jAhjPd4uNFY

Raw IQ is fairly meaningless, and can go either way. Particularly high IQ individuals are also much more prone to various emotional disorders and other difficulties. Functional genius is the really the exception to the rule.

...But genetically engineering an entire generation to be both more socially cohesive and intelligent, in addition to healthier and less resource intensive, then you maybe onto something.

Granted, it could easily go the other way. Some evil nation may make a race of docile consumer-slaves, as it seems so much of society at large has already dedicated itself to producing without said. Additionally, as the biotechnology improves, the dangers of artificial genetic homogeny increasing species-wide vulnerability to weaponized viruses grows, and of course, all the potential Gattaca'esque social pitfalls and the like.

But, the fact that we managed to go four whole posts on this topic without reverting to /pol/tardedness gives me hope for the future of mankind.
>>
>>2329034
What?
>>
>>2329066
You're right. Genetic engineering brings forward the very ethics of it. If somehow someone makes an error, an as a result millions of babies are genetically defect, then what should we do with the babies? Just massacre them? Humans tend to screw up big time.

They even failed to monitor the sperm donor flows because the director is a corrupt asshole or something, deliberately keep using the sperm of an autistic man. One woman complained that her child gets darker and showing early signs of retardation.
>>
>>2329100
Well, one would assume modified babies would be slowly introduced, so that most of such problems would be avoided and dealt with as the methodology progressed. Then again, one insane nation might get ahead of everyone and release some sort of airborne CRISPR retro-virus that warps everyone to their liking (and given the nations making the quickest progress in that research - we may also all wind up Chinese).

Though, even if things are introduced over time, yes, there is always the risk of us jumping the gun to one degree or another, and finding problems cropping up generations down the line we did not foresee. ...and if our current projects on other creatures (and the sudden lack of honey bees) tells us anything , it's that if there's a profit motive involved, that's entirely likely.

But it's gonna happen, one way or the other, it's just a matter of time (barring a dark age or apocalypse catching us first).
