iQ is a piece of fitless wuckery. The gas chambers were built by notionally clever people.

That is the average IQ of a cross section of tested so some would be much higher and others, lower. 
In any case, an IQ of 83 denotes average intelligence and most people are average.

I also agree with NS when he says: "iQ is a piece of fitless wuckery".

if you want to say savagery was a result of a low IQ, never mind, the issues with the idea itself, then it should reduce with 'higher' IQ. Since this does not appear to be the case, your position is logically incoherent.

yes there is a paradox, I don't know what the answer is, do you?

ask yourself this 'what have the Libyans done for us?'

That isn't a paradox. IQ such as it is seems to have no correlation to our inclination to what are savage acts.

Libya has huge oil reserves which is why, at different times in the not too distant past, Libya has been 'friends' with us and, even more so, the USA.

Don't tell me what it is or isn't. Who do you think you are?

Someone pointing out that your position that IQ was somehow relevant to savage acts doesn't seem to apply.

of course IQ is relevant to savage acts but on different levels of sophistication

what are different levels of sophistication of savagery?
The means by which it is inflicted ?

is that ok for you, or are you going to continue with this pretence that you are somehow baffled by my responses?

Still baffled, what difference does it make if the means are different, other than more people get killed by more efficient means? In terns of the actual savagery, the IQ has made no reduction, so you raising it earlier is still logically incoherent.
