National IQ combined with genetic curiosity is a much stronger predictor of Nobel Prizes than National IQ alone.

This helps explain why Europeans have won 20 times more Nobel Prizes than Northeast Asians, despite having slightly lower average IQs. Image
The correlation between National IQ + Genetic Curiosity and Nobel Prizes is R = 0.48.

Only R = 0.27 for National IQ alone. Image

This report also underestimates how deleterious to the economy immigration from low-trust, low-productivity countries is as it puts non-EU Westerners in the same category as Africans and Middle Easterners.

Why are leftists more depressed?
Negative thoughts about the self, the world, and the future are the cognitive causes of depression. Leftism promotes all three. 🧵 Image
Examples:
The self: "I'm ashamed of being white."
The world: "We live in an oppressive patriarchy."
The future: "Climate change will kill us and our planet."
These cognitive distortions create a vicious circle: they make you more depressed, which in turn makes you believe them more.
