Hive mind: how your nation's IQ matters so much more than your own

Introduction : the paradox of IQ

Just a test score?

A Da Vinci effect for nations

James Flynn and the quest to raise global IQ

Will the intelligent inherit the Earth?

Smarter groups are more cooperative

Patience and cooperation as ingredients for good politics

Informed voters and the question of epistocracy

The o-ring theory of teams

The endless quest for substitutes and the economic benefits of immigration

Poem and conclusion
