Why are the highest IQ Asian societies all conservative?

>highly educated

They've spent a much longer time in indoctrination centers than the rest of the community. It's easy to not see society for what it is when all you do is talk about feminist theory all the time.

I also think it has something to do with stigma. "Oh I can't vote for Trump, I'm too smart!"

I have a law degree and I support Trump because I want to. I don't give a fuck about what my professors over the years have thought about conservatives. It's one thing to be knowledgeable in a certain field that doesn't mean you know that much about politics. Take English professors for example, they're mostly all liberal. English is a very politicized nowadays. Just because they're highly educated doesn't make their views on politics more valid whatsoever. They're knowledge on writing can be credible, but I guarantee you if you brought half the stuff you learn from an English professor to a political science professor, he would laugh at some of the claims the English teacher made.

Highly educated people care more about prestige. They won't dare to go for anything that might be considered unpopular.

*Western Scoiety

educated people in Eastern Europe/Asia are majority conservative because the governments are, and by extension the schooling/propoganda

Since when is intelligence and education the same thing?
What is the criteria for being considered educated?

Yeah im sure theres a lot of intelligent high school dropouts out there

Intelligence also correlates with cuckoldry.

Hmm...

most intelligent people will get a good education.

>I'm educated
>"I have a phd in memeology and I'm with her"

...

Prove it.

>51%
>All

Are there a lot of dumb people who did not drop out of high school?
What about with degrees?

Truly inteligente people don't participate in these studies/polls.
> lol, look at me I'm so smart, haha

>most highly educated
>pseudointellectuals who have gone to years and years of liberal brainwash institutions disguised as educational facilities
ftfy

Wow I wonder why they would vote for hillary?

I wonder why people who spent 20+ years of their lives in government institutions and most likely work at government institutions support big government

look at my IQ it makes me so valuable............. I'll take a Farmer, Mechanic, and a Gunsmith with me when shit hits the fan

>when shit hits the fan
>le FEMA camps meme

Don't worry, Alex. You won't be needing those filters, because the apocalypse is never going to happen.

>college=intelligence

nice meme

No cares.

but... that means everyone gives a lot of fucks about his graph?

...

139 iq
Would vote Trump

the image you posted proves my point.

>le feminist indoctrination meme

>retarded leaf thinks indoctrination is the same as intelligence

>that tfw when too intelligent to fall for Trumpcuckery

Is he wrong?

Because more intelligent people are more likely to be gay. And all liberals are fags

>working class contributing to the nation as the ground level for wealth and infrastructure
>Obviously too stupid to vote in own interests

We should just concede our right to vote as obviously we're just plebs.

youtube.com/watch?v=fvPgjg201w0
Correct. Most conservative teachers are in fact hiding so as not to be ostracized.

Even if it wasn't "indoctrination" persay (even thouh it is)... wtf would going to college have to do with intelligence? People with 70 IQs go to college and get a degree.

Though*

Yes. Colleges aren't some librul feminist Marxist scheme.

According to this there are plenty

>what is affirmative action

The effects of peer pressure are higher in the higher classes as they have far more to lose by being ostracized. When you have nothing or not a lot equally you have nothing or not a lot to lose by challenging the status quo.

>money = intelligence

lel. If that were true, everyone in hollywood and every sports player would be a genius.

>Why do cults attract smart people

I donno leaf, you should really watch some more cult expose's. The parallels are staggering.

>Wtf I'm not dumb, guess I have to vote for Hillary now.

College education correlates with intelligence as much as it does with bullshit. When I walk around my college campus I see completely fucking retarded uga boogas niggering around regularly. The fact that there is such a thing as a gender studies degree should tip you off to the amount of utter idiotcy there is in universities. You do not need intelligence to get a degree. You only need to have some minimal work ethic or be black and your in. My high school grades were shit tier (2.5) and I barely tried and I still got into a decent university.

To have gone to college doesn't equal intelligence.

There have been more degrees earned by women than men for years.
80% of them are arts or communication or social sciences or something.
Ever since getting a degree became something everyone should have, the value of a degree plummeted, because it wasn't the populace learning to work and study more, it was the degrees that you can earn without having to learn anything real getting more popular.
Engineers are generally conservative, "business majors" who work at starbucks are overwhelmingly liberal.

>Wtf I'm not dumb, guess I have to vote for Hillary now.

You jest, but there are people who actually think like this.

>intelligence correlates with education level
hmmmmmmmmmm

>80% of them are arts or communication or social sciences or something.
absolute and utter lie.

>Ever since getting a degree became something everyone should have, the value of a degree plummeted
>What is automation

Are you guys too fucking stupid and sheltered to think we are still living in the 70's?

>Why are the most intelligent people in society all liberals?
lies

I'm a STEM Major, almost all my professors are conservative.
Had to take English Lit, bitch was 60 year old bitter man-hating feminist

this just shows people lie about their education. if this were true richer people would also support clinton, but we know this is false.

>lol all republicans are poor retards, us intelligent wealthy democrats hate poor people
>lol all republicans are evil wealthy bourgies, us kind democrats love poor working class families
Pick one.

Also:
>a blue haired dyke with a womens studies degree is more valuable than a construction worker or a small business owner
lol k.

>Why are the most indoctrinated people in society all liberals?
FTFY

It's the most educated, not necessarily the most intelligent, eventhough the two are somewhat related. I think one of the reasons is the toxic climate that has developped in American universities this last decade, where the accepted view is liberalism/socialism, for some reason. I think this is a direct inheritance from the 68's movements, people in their old age still thinking about changing the world, their old, irrelevant values still permeate through universities because they happen to be teachers there. And then students expanded on it. And the American mind, which tends to exaggerate, made matters worse.

Now there's also the fact that people that can actually afford an education tend to be sheltered, and sheltered people tend to have silly ideals. That sometimes contradict their own lifestyles.

Also, let's put it this way: Trump lies to the ignorant, Clinton lies to the educated. She appeals to people with a degree because she speaks their tongue and pretends that she understands their concerns about understanding complex issues. But behind all that truly educated people see the veil of bullshit she's raised to protect her interests.

Because college is where the cultural Marxism brainwashing begins.

Please don't call Starbucks waiters "intelligent". There are thousands of useless liberals with degrees in Social Sciences who think they are intelligent, yet make minimum wage.

The only actual intelligent people are those with a degree that makes money.

>th-they're all gender studies degrees!
verdantlabs.com/politics_of_professions/
Enjoy your cognitive dissonance.

old people are less likely to have college degrees

Because research funds policies from dems are better.

It's in my ass. You wanna dig it?

>Educated = intelligence
By that logic a average gender studies major has the same intelligence as a physics major
Kill your self

>implying people with college degrees are always smarter.

They're also more in debt from getting a useless degree and don't want to pay off the loan they voluntarily took out.

>implying I said they were all gender studies degrees
>libtard can't into English
Piss off third worlder.

toppest of keks!

Both are more likely to be democrat, so you lose either way.

You realize that all ilegal mexicans and all blacks are democrats right?

>oh shit he fucked me up with facts better attack syntax

>most highly educated
so gender studies grad students who have been working on their PhD for 15 years?

Im gighly intelligent, highly educated institutionally as well as autoeducated.
I am a classical liberal. I am also highly cynical. Most academic types can pull great grades and smooze up the ladder without really being able to make original thoughts (synthesis). If you used originality as your metric, rather than reflexive mental adroitness, you would likely get a very different answer.

Keep on backtracking, m8. You got BTFO by facts.

i'd love to see a breakdown of majors and focuses and their political leanings.

But MSM will never do that because all the STEM degrees will lean right and the useless degrees will lean left.

Masters in Compsci. Definitely not leaning left.

You're wrong, idiot.

only fact here is that your reading comprehension is sub-troglodyte ladarino.

all higher learning is marxist as fuck

all of the 1960's activists infiltrated the school systems where their ideologies go unpunished and unchanged

>(((educated)))
>intelligent.

Pick one.

No, the fact is that the more highly educated you are, the more likely you are to be a democrat. You lose.

They literally fucking are

t. just graduated, college formed council of diversity and inclusion right before I left

You can make good money with like 80% of degrees but some degrees are much more viable to do it with. If you're smart enough you will get a decent job.

Liberal carpenters???

Lol who the fuck did they survey? Nobody in construction obviously

Kek

Irrelevant to my post famaroonie, but keep on trying to deflect from your minor slip up whilst remaining totally ignorant of the Streisand effect in play. It does wonders to validate your claims.

It's literally the crux of your point, idiot.

Read my post again you fridge dwelling spastic.

>Implying Education = Intelligence

Should I major in math?

I have a B.A. in English. It was pretty bad then and that was 10 years ago. He's not wrong.

Indoctrination.

Damn autocorrect. I meant Education.

Retarded on the surface.

White men are smartest Americans.

White men overwhelmingly support Trump.

Education != IQ.

Democrats = 2/3 colored people; the stupidest Americans.

>conveniently not taking minorities into consideration

This, but it goes deeper than that. The soixantehuitards explicitly went for influential positions in academia and the result is a large amount of 'academical' 'disciplines' which are thoroughly leftist by design. Think sociology, cultural anthropology, modern philosophy, liberal arts etc etc. Still, these people are regarded equally as smart as physicists and medical doctors in statistics like OP's. This causes circle reasoning: if you're leftist, you can be 'smart' easily (by just stepping into the warm bath of leftist academia), so that means you're likely leftist if you're smart. They even go as far as to discredit actual science by saying it too is subjective and people who study it are autistic geeks disconnected from society.

Economic or scientific?

college degrees mean absolutely fuck all unless it's STEM (engineering > physics > computer science > genetics > chemistry > any other science)

redo this with only STEM grads and see where the votes lie

>What is the criteria (sic) for being educated?

Well, I'm no professor but a wild guess says 'having an education'

The only degree holders you can be reasonably sure are intelligent are those with graduate degrees (from accredited schools) in STEM.

Math/Physics tends to be pretty liberal (I would say moderate), but engineering is notoriously conservative. Kind of reflective of the kind of intelligence typical of the two groups when you think about it.

Getting a PHD in Humanities doesn't you make you smart user.

Literally can go to college and get a PHD in Basket weaving. Your graph is just fucken stupid.

>engineering > physics
You do realize engineers are basically just dumb physicists, right?

Even more democrat since no econ.

Physics CS math is full of lefties

Phd in humanities is still a big load of work though.

Conservatives with a 95-105 IQ are really nice, hardworking people. Liberals usually have an IQ of about 110, but they think they're super-geniuses. It's the Dunning-Kruger effect; total pseudo-intellectual dumbasses, who are really mean and they think everybody around them is a racist. The lower IQ conservatives are actually smarter than those people, because they know how a society should be operated. It doesn't matter that they didn't arrive at their conclusions through raw intelligence. They still came to the correct conclusion, regardless of how they did it. Maybe it's because those people have what liberals lack - wisdom.

t. 125 IQ conservative

I wonder why...

Op is low IQ cunt.

Smartest are always "right"

Voltaire
Shockley
TS Elliott
Mencken

On and on and on

You could view it that way... Or you could view the low IQ conservatives as being sheep who cling to tradition/dogma.

Until they get into the field anyways.
Then they see how much of their promised "80k starting" immediately gets yanked out of their hands and given to Jamal.
I've never met somebody in the field who stuck to their leftist ideals except for one guy, and that's because he was my replacement and hadn't received a pay bump yet.

>Voltaire
>right

He was an extreme leftist

kek, all engineering programs require you to take physics courses - at least to the point where you understand electromagnetism, thermodynamics, newtonian mechanics, basic chemistry, and fluid/gas dynamics. They only leave out modern physics related to special relativity, radiation (well you'd go into radiation if you did nuclear engineering), quantum theory, and astrophysics.

Engineers need not only understand fundamental physics theories (often constrained to idealized scenarios not present in real-life) but must apply that to the design of structures, engines, computers, electronics, drugs, energy production, etc. I loved my physics/math courses cause they seemed simple in comparison to engineering courses which required so much more investigation into the minute details that pertain to the design of real-life elements (often with extensive consultation into codes, standards, and design manuals). This is why engineering programs have a notorious workload; the perquisite knowledge to graduate as an engineer is greater than any other program.

Great you know the carnot/otto cycle and the fundamentals of how a heat engine operates, now go build/design one. Good luck.

Don't respond to him, he can't even make one proper sentence in English.

>80-90% of teachers identify as liberal in colleges
>wow how come most grads are liberal

Besides, education doesn't always mean intelligent and intelligent doesn't always mean smart

Allahu Akbar!
The U.S. must take Monroe Doctrine now.
The U.S. must withdraw American Forces from all Foreign Countries now.
Stop America's doing its all wars now!

I love American99% and the U.S.

China, Germany and Japan must loosen Germany's, Japan's and China's monetary policies now!
China, Germany and Japan must stimulate Germany's, Japan's and China's domestic demands now!
Japan and Germany must issue a lot of construction bond now!
Japan and Germany must reduce Germany's, Japan's and China's taxes now!
The U.S. must tighten its monetary policy now!

Japan, Germany and China are evil empires.
Islamists' true enemies are Japan, Germany, China, FRB, top1%, Wall Street, American Military Industry and DOD!
Allahu Akbar!

Intelligent people are usually further left because the nature of intelligence is being willing to question the current order and improve it. Intelligent people tend to recognize gaps in reasoning, so fallacious arguments tend to have less effect on them. It's simply more difficult for an intelligent person to examine a structure and be satisfied with it.

...

Again, it doesn't matter how they arrive at their conclusions. If they do it through tradition / dogma, they still have the right ideas.

green nigger needs to pull his pants up and check the line, looks like he got a bite

Fourier was a libertarian against the French Revolution and he is the most underrated mathematician of all time.

you n otice its college degrees but not 75k+ seems her college grads make

I only give a shit about the other guy's syntax, though.

in what world does length of time spent in liberal indoctrination centers equal a measure of intelligence?

''I have a doctorate in womens studies'' =/= intelligence

Those GOY don't know how to utilize POCs to make BIG MONEY

>I like the poor and stupid as long as they vote for me

This is why you're losing

>All of those liberal arts students got degrees in garbo and are now broke

Yeah, Clinton sure does have the geniuses backing her.

Idk about that I've met a ton of faggots who are absolutely retarded

>the left is all about "questioning the system" and the right is all about just going along with things and never questioning
It's actually the opposite. The left is the status quo in America, the right is the counter-culture. Go tell the average woman you wanna take her abortion away and see what happens.
>It's simply more difficult for an intelligent person to examine a structure and be satisfied with it.
Most people create an ideal society in their head and then they whine and cry all the time that that's not how things really are. That doesn't make someone smart. Instead, people should accept a variety of governmental systems, or maybe just be strongly against one system instead of strongly in favor of one system. Really smart people live in reality, they don't just sit around fantasizing about hypotheticals all day.

I was half joking. I don't have a problem with engineers. They're intelligent and in a different (necessary) way from the physicist.

That said, if you think your 1st and 2nd year math/physics classes that were required for everyone going into STEM are reflective of what math/physics majors are doing in their third and fourth years (never mind beyond that), you clearly don't know what they're doing. It's not uncommon for people to leave the math major when they encounter their first proof-based course (usually Analysis or Linear Algebra).

This will answer your question, OP:

medium.com/@nntaleb/the-intellectual-yet-idiot-13211e2d0577#.jvsl2u5sv

You mean people who went through 4-8 years of liberal indoctrination at a state university?

Gee, I don't know leaf. That's a tough one.

Intelligence != education

Hmm, I sense a flaw here.

Because a good portion of them are weak minded in that they feel guilty for their successes, so they throw rationality to the wind and go all to
>muh feelings

>university is liberal indoctrination

Spoken like a truly uneducated person.

Spoken like an underaged leaf who hasn't been to college yet

I earned my degree at a for-profit university, but I'm still liberal. What now, asshole?

You're a nigger, mystery solved.

They're liberals today, because they're pragmatists.

Modern American conservatives are ideologues. They want to slash government, they don't care what it does or what it safeguards against -- they just want to shrink/destroy it.

Look at Flint, for fuck's sake. "Small government" meant axing the budget item for maintaining the city's safe water supply. No smart person can join that party.

Also, climate change. "Here's a snowball, there's no such thing as climate change" is a really good way to lose scientist votes.

Personally, I think massive infrastructural investment is the only way to kickstart America back onto its feet. Get people working on public works projects that'll improve our communities -- and those temporary jobs stimulate aggregate demand, which fuels economic growth. Meanwhile, the infrastructure projects themselves improve economic efficiency and quality of life, when completed.

Compare that to "government can't create jobs" repeated ad nauseum. Easy to see the difference.

Maybe 5% of my friends with any college education are conservatives, and even they are struggling not to give up the ghost after watching their party leaders get on board with reactionary protectionism.

Nope. Try again. I'm as white as it gets.

Um, political science major?

Underrated post.

>educated individuals

Yeah, no. If they had any intelligence, they'd be working real jobs. Academia is a joke.

If this was a sign of intelligence, then why would the brilliant far leftists support a party that encourages degeneracy, shuns self sufficiency, and discourages personal accountability? This is in direct contradiction to intelligence.

>seriously?
engineer here, the mandatory general-ed was full of retards. and lots of sjw crap

I'm glad my school wasn't as cucked.
but my idealistic brother got brainwashed in california

take the red pill. believe in all the freedom, bu leave behind irresponcible fiscal spending, and SJW thought police

>underage

Yes because everyone who doesn't believe in the worldwide Jewish conspiracy to brainwash college students is underage. Tell me, if everyone who goes to universities is sent there to become a brainwashed liberal, how can you be sure that it isn't done in elementary and high schools?

There is a power struggle over mainstream culture going on and the right is refusing to (because they don't like change). People on the left can be authoritarian in the application of their ideas, and that's what we're seeing.

The reason we see these "never question" rules encoded directly into some leftist philosophies (eg feminism) because they are so aware that their members (in particular themselves) default to questioning. The worst, most annoying, leftists are often very intelligent people who willfully turned off the critical thinking part of their brain because the emotional part of it tugged strongly enough.

It is very funny to me people will say "oh well this is modern education", as though a 6 year old creating the curriculum for his kindergarten class or an 18 year old was creating the curriculum for his high school class. By "modern" education it is actually the education of someone who was the age of the class he/she is teaching when they were in the 80's: not modern at all if you ask me. Once again liberals contradict themselves and don't understand the meaning of words given the context

Why are the dumbest people in society all Canadians?

Not sure if you're agreeing with me or not. Since you brought up the fact that the phenomenon is not new and that I'm basically saying the same thing, I'll assume you agree with me.

But I've never heard liberals say "this is modern education" in that context. Could you expand on that a bit? Why would they say that? To try and push the "current year" argument that their education is superior because it's modern?

I have a master's degree and I will be voting for Trump.

>people who spent more money on school are more likely to vote for the person who promises to remove student loans

When will this meme die?
Just because you have been to college doesn't mean you are intelligent.
I'm working towards a degree in science education and there are people in my class who didn't know how the phases of the moon worked! And these were fourth and fifth years!

>people that benefit the most from the status quo want to continue the status quo

Hmm really fired my action potentials.

>Why are the most intelligent people in society all liberals?
Because resource sinks are often where centers of power and the gatekeepers of education tend to reside. Also, you've probably noticed that education isn't cheap so you can bet your ass that plenty of smart people can't shot off their intelligence with a piece of very expensive paper.

Correlation does not imply causality.

Educated does not equate to intelligent. The majority of well-educated people today have a peculiar tendency to believe that most obvious explanation for something is always wrong. This can sometimes be the case, but often the most obvious explanation is far better than the rationalizations they (mostly liberals) come up with.

This has led to a drastic difference in how liberals and conservatives perceive the world, and often, empiricism and reality align more with the conservative viewpoint.

Good for you. But OP's talking about national trends, not one Cred Forumsack.

None of those things directly relate to intelligence.

Hey all, we actually covered things like this in a psych statistics class. It is because most scientists tend to be liberal, so most statistics are biased against the right. for a comparison, look what happens when you let french researchers figure out who has the biggest dick by country

>college indoctrination means you're intelligent

i fucking hate this meme. in my department, 90% of them are women and 90% of them are retarded.

post-graduate education means hyper-specialisation, not a breadth of knowledge.

only unintelligent people do not understand this

>he doesn't know about the cold war
>he doesn't know about kulturkampf
>he doesn't know the reds won the cold war via 60s push for academic indoctrination

ever wonder why so many professors are leftists with commie sympathies? Or why so many leftist jews are in education?

CTR pushing some very old debunked content

I think this has something to do with the fact that white americans almost never get a PhD. I'm in 600 level classes at my university and the majority of students are pajeets and achmeds. The one's that have become citizens are obviously going to vote in their own interest rather than the interest of the country.

Seems to imply that conservatives lean more towards what some may call "bodily-kinesthetic intelligence."

Sorry, Peps. Once a hate symbol, always a hate symbol.

>college graduates
>intelligent

Denying that male and female are real things is not intelligence.

A guy drops out of high school to start a successful plumbing company.

Another guy gets a masters degree in feminist studies.

Who is smarter?
