For the record, my answer to the OP would be "undoubtedly," but the same could be said for any mass depopulation of the planet, so that may not prove much.

I believe depopulation is gonna occur one way or another, so we should choose the one that serves us best as a species.

The only plausible way to get rid of dumb people (judging by conservationist's posts in the past) is by rounding up all the races and cultures that are statistically proven to have a higher rate of people with lower IQs, and mass murdering every single one of them.

I'd prefer to avoid that. Using Raven's matrices and a few other shortcuts, a computer-assisted pre-test can be created that will quickly separate the under-100s from the rest; testing the rest is feasible.

Among other things, I would rather eliminate dumb individuals rather than races, which would strengthen every race. For example, African-Americans with an average IQ of 89 would lose a higher percentage of their members, but emerge at a competitive level -- and breeding more people is rarely a problem.

As long as we're playing eugenics fantasy camp, why not employ a comprehensive battery of metrics to maximize the number of ultimately "competent" humans left in the gene pool and minimize the number of people who are smart but lazy, dysfunctional, etc. (shoot! i done disqualified myself!)?

IQ makes a good "first cut" to raise everyone to a minimal level of competence; after that, we kill the assholes and bean counters ;)

one was administered by my college psychology teacher, a psychologist, the other i took online, but the questions were similar even if the scoring was not as accurate. i don't remember which was which as this was a long time ago, but on one i scored low 140's and the other low 150's hence the "range" i gave in my previous post

Interesting there's such a range, but these sound legit.

i think there are many people who would not fit your definition of productive competent humans despite having an above average IQ

Definitely. And many of those are useless people. However, we face a dual problem of (a) radical overpopulation and (b) world IQ declining into the high 80s at this point. Removing the under-120s fixes that, and by removing the easily-manipulated, puts parasites under the microscope and allows us to address them more easily. With the population under control, that task is feasible; without it, unlikely. So it's a multiple-stage process.

I am less concerned with hunting down every lazy shithead than I am with ending ecocide and raising humanity a notch; right now, we're devolving toward monkeyness.
