Apples and oranges, my friend. Apples and oranges.

No matter what method you use, there will be another to counter it. Example?

Jews make up less than 2% of the human population on this planet yet they, as a group, have the highest number of Nobel Prize winners. Now. If for some heinous reason you hate Jews, wouldn't this statistic get under your skin? Particularly if you are using it as proof of superiority?

So much goes into how we develop from infancy to adulthood. Quality of food, education, health care, political stability, and on and on and on. If you are someone who is unfortunate enough to be born and raised in a place like Darfur or present day Baghdad, what are your chances of growing up emotionally stable and capable of fulfilling your human potential?

Would it not be better to strive for creating stable, safe and healthy environments for all, rather than trying to define who is better due to an accident of birth?

I agree. There is no superior race. When you really come right down to it, the most important thing in life, although it can’t be measured by tests, is compassion. Nothing matters more than how we treat others. This is an individual choice. Each of us chooses how we live our lives. You can either be forced on yourself or focused on others. Living your life outwardly, focused on others, is the superior choice. You don’t have to have the highest IQ to have the most meaningful life. But even with a high IQ, if you are only thinking of yourself, you life is pointless.

There is no superior race. We are all children of God and therefore, we are all EQUAL.
To think there is a superior race is to be like Hitler.
IQ testing is biased. Every culture has its own IQ, intelligence, history, etc.
There are also other intelligence that should be acounted for .Street smarts, book smarts, life smarts.

A multi-tiered question... I will omitt both race and IQ as these items have already been commented on. Because superiority is the synergy of the physical/spiritual life (ofcourse as soon as you see yourself as superior, pride will become your stumbling block), I am hard pressed to provide you with a clean statistical formula. Basically, he who is most patient, most kind, who does not envy, does not boast and is not proud, he who is not self-seeking and is virtually impossible to anger, he who hates evil with every fiber of his being but rejoices with the truth... he is superior. Also, a superior person is modest in his speach but exceeds in action. As you can tell, we are all in the running for the title reguardless of age, sex, race or religion (each of us desires to be the best we can be), yet it is only a few that ever come close to perfection. If you have the patience, you should read "Brother Lawrence"... I tell you, he humbles me and spurs me on in my own strugles!

IQ is a lots debated theory of late. there is, to date, no relaible definition of what IQ is or what it means. the belief of greater beneficial race is an invention of Western Europeans as an excuse to subjugate peoples in colonized areas, Africa and the Americas. apparently adequate, those self same Europeans used IQ as a level to subjugate Asians to boot, even difficult Asians in maximum situations do greater effectual on IQ exams. in short, there's no precise degree of an excellent race with the aid of fact there's no greater beneficial race. One can not degree that which does no longer exist.

Having a "superior race" is a dangerous construct. IQ tests are culturaly biased. Human beings have pretty much the same basal abilities if they are healthy.

The only race if the human race. The sooner people realize that, the better off we will be. We are all children of God.

Have a safe and Happy New Year.

Why is race a point of discussion at all except as an artifact (albeit a maladaptive one) of sociological development? It simply reflects back on tribalism and competition and is no longer helpful in an era when Humans must cooperate in order to help keep the planet from heating beyond all ability to inhabit it.

The superior race should be judged upon miles per hour and distance travelled.
