How were Arabs able to make amazing scientific discoveries if they are so fucking low IQ?

[.*my*.]

I always read about Arabs in the old days who made great breakthroughs in science and math, and were often ahead of their western counterparts, but how the fuck is that possible if their average IQ is that of a janitor?

Did something happen in the last few centuries that caused their IQ to drop?

Because being able to take tests doesn't mean you're smart.

Asians score high IQs because they know how to take tests.

Also, it's all dependent on finishing on time.

Muslims were really successful in the past because they had a very good location. It was pretty much the meeting point between the east and the west so a lot of information was brought together. It had relations with both India and Europe.
Also, a lot of countries with lower average IQ still have rich historical achievements. India for example. Different situations can cause the countries to plummet and function worse. Arabs do have a lot of money but most of the governments are retarded and the middle east region is unstable. Also Arab isn't a good term to use, a lot of achievements were made by Iranians who aren't Arabs.

Yeah bro South Korea tops almost every country in technological advancement because Koreans know how to take tests bro.

iq is strongly correlated to culture. unlike some people like to believe, its not simply that certain races are just inherently more high iq than others.

in fact i would be willing to wager that the % of truly high iq individuals (130+) is approx the same for every ethnicity.

its just some cultures which are more academically oriented are likely to have more people in the above average iq range.

like white ppl think asians and indians are smart - but thats mainly bc of how they're raised.

Are you coping because you’re an Arab?

The vast majority of scientists are Asians and whites. How many arab scientists do you know? There is 400 million of you in the world and barely any scientists.

All I hear about is whites, japanese, Koreans and Indians. Sandniggers don’t make it in science and neither do Africans because of low IQ.
