100 IQ means average. If your country IQ is below 100 that means they are actually below average in intelligence. You cannot succeed by being below average in a capitalist society. Below average in a capitalist society means that your bank account will fill up over time, but the ratio/ gap between you and the rest of society will only ever widen with time.
Below average means a death sentence over decades. It is the end of a nation in a system where all the largest economies are becoming desperate for more land and resources.
As of now there are only 11 societies in the world with an IQ above 100. That's 11 viable societies in the world total.
There are 27 societies with an IQ higher than the average American IQ of 97, meaning there are 27 societies with a chance to have their technology one day catch up to the US.
We can already see the US moving towards their allotted slot as their ranking continues to go down on multiple national comparison metrics year on year.
The most egregious example of this is life expectancy, where the US has the 55th highest life expectancy in the world. Another such example is Human Development Index. Where today the US ranks in 20th spot and continues to decline.
Another indicator of the decline of the US is GDP PPP per capita, where the US is also continuing to decline over time. With Denmark and the Netherlands soon to surpass the US in the years ahead.
Another example would be food safety standards, where the US has for decades been left behind Europe.
Even in the technological sphere, the US has been losing technological supremacy as both India and China have been catching up to the US and closing the gap over time.
The America of today suffers from the same failures that Italy in the past did. That of building their armies with mercenaries, or in the case of the US, building their workforce with immigrants. Immigrants who can leave the US if it were to collapse. Immigrants who can loot the US and escape to their own homeland. Immigrants who now try to avoid American cultural assimilation completely and now instead expect you to behave like themselves, like people who had to escape their land.
The US suffers from the costs of not investing in their own populace. For that would take too long. Much like a Medieval king buying an already trained mercenary army over training his own men. Both of those situations resulting in similar disasters in the times to come.
Observing the western nations, it becomes clear that having more than 15% of the total population be first generation immigrants is always going to be a bad idea, that will come to haunt the country in the end. For the moment disaster strikes, all of these first generation immigrants will leave the country, for they have no reason to invest their entire lives and soul into a foreign land.
Conclusion:
China dominate global world order because China getting smarter. US get stuck in current world order because US no get smarter. Without smarter, no new solutions.
97 IQ all in gets you advanced chatgpt, narrow AI research cowtools, level 3 self driving vehicles, fully reusable rockets, maybe a moon base, but that's about it. It doesn't get you any further than that. 115 IQ should get us all the things tech entrepreneurs promise us today. Meaning China will get it all to us by the 2050-2060s that is being promised today.
Global IQ spread in the future:
East Asian IQ - 110s-120s
Africa - 60s
Western world order - lower 90s
