    Living in America reduces your IQ

    Explains all those trumpanzees.

    The twin raised in South Korea scored considerably higher on intelligence tests related to perceptual reasoning and processing speed, with an overall IQ difference of 16 points.
    Psychologists found a "striking" difference in intelligence after examining twins raised apart in South Korea and the United States

    Not surprising. South Korea has excellent educational systems, a government with an eye on strategy, and folks from there seem to be able to think more critically. The educational system in the USA has eroded away in the last 40 years and it certainly is not an area of government focus anymore.

    Nature , Nurture, or how you accurately measure intelligence, the argument continues.

    Since we like statistics , here us another one.
    "Compared to other OECD countries, South Korea's female suicide rate is highest with 15.0 deaths by suicide per 100,000 deaths according to the suicidal rate list, while the male suicide rate is third highest with 32.5 per every 100,000 deaths. "

    The key question is where in the US. Pretty fucking massive country to throw under one blanket. My guess is the American was raised in some trumpanzee backwater. Case in point...

    The twin who was adopted by the U.S. couple, in contrast, reported a stricter, more religiously-oriented environment that had higher levels of family conflict.

    Just the "Religiously" part is enough to reduce anyones IQ by double digit points in any country not only in the US. I think it's to the US's credit that the twin raised there only had it's IQ reduces by 16 points , I am sure if he was raised in some other country the affect would had been much greater.
    I mean look at Harry.

    That's funny coming from someone with a single digit IQ.
