I've been wondering about people who would commit murder over cartoons or a book burning. I've been thinking that the people we are dealing with are unable to think in categories and make necessary distinctions. I remembered that there was an article in the Economist last month on infectious diseases and their possible effect on children's intellectual development. The study used IQ data from 184 countries. It occurred to me to look at the average IQ's for some of the countries provided in the study. I've selected out some and grouped them.
98 United States
99 Canada
108 Singapore
105 China
106 South Korea
105 Japan
98 France
99 Germany
100 Netherlands
101 Switzerland
102 Italy
98 Spain
97 Russia
95 Israel
90 Turkey
82 Lebanon

83 Syria
83 Libya
84 Pakistan
