You have to keep in mind with IQ numbers, these are 'averages'. That means that roughly half the people are above that number, and half are lower. IQ, however is a measure of one's facility in solving problems. When solutions to problems are institutionalized--meaning that culture has prescribed solutions to common problems, it makes IQ meaningless. For example, in order to insure safety of people driving on roads, a country develops a system of traffic control conventions that everyone learns. There are signals that tell you to stop, and ones that tell you to go.
Similarly, you can teach an entire population to submit to authority and not question it. "Smart people pay their taxes." "Smart people vote." Intelligence is then subordinated to belief. You solve your problems by 'conformity and obedience.' By that token, the average IQ of the entire planet is about the same level as Australia. Maybe a little lower. The 'lowest comon denominator'.

I'm not sure if I'm in the Bizzaro world thread, or the IQ World thread...?

Maybe, but not in this instance doucebag :)
Fact is hardly any convicts were murderes or rapists, at that time the British justice system had capital punishment for these offenders. FACT. Most were convicted of PETTY crimes, the judiciary actively prosecuted petty crimes with this severe sentence so that they had a labor force to send to the new colony. This is not hearsay but fact.
Just sayin

If we would backtrack from "most" now, too the "very few" from the post before.
We might then be able to see the difference between calling a thief "resourceful", or an entrepreneur as having a high IQ.

If you come from anywhere you carry a tribal mark inside yourself.Mine is invisible.
If you mean a moko tattoo on the chin as the Maori people used to do.This was for certain reasons they did that and not for decoration as they do tattoos today.

As per usuasl your posts are neither insightful nor enigmatic, just rubish. You're what we called a 'try hard'. Heres some advice, less verbosity more clarity try being pithy ocasionaly
