This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Notes -
There is more to the human mind than just IQ, despite the fact that your G is one of the best predictors. Many also postulate that Indo-European populations tend to have fatter tails. Culture comes from people. The East Asian worldview is more risk-averse, with a much larger emphasis on standardised tests over everything else. Most stats about IQ from China are not very trustworthy either.
My amrchair theory is that having a population that has always self-selected for people defined by tests is not good in the long run. China will dominate within this century, it already is and it has good biocapital which could have been better without these insane pressures.
