Not surprised to see Alaska with the highest rate

Average IQ by country

someone is going to have to explain the Russian IQ. And India. That map, or the data sampling, is highly flawed.

Yeah, Colorado has been the healthiest state in the nation for a long time now

Another meaningless and probably flawed map

Well, the new racist mayor has already stated explicitly that he wants to "tax white neighborhoods more."

if only there was some historical data to show what happens to a big city when that method is tried.

I have to wonder how they assembled their data to make that map. A web site reads your browser by the browser's "user agent" line, which can be changed to make your browser to appear to something else besides what the browser it really is. And part of that line shows the "browser" that's presented to the web site.

For me on Ubuntu Linux v24.04.3 LTS "Noble Numbat":

Edge: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/142.0.0.0 Safari/537.36 Edg/142.0.0.0
(yes, Microsoft actually releases a version of its vaulted Edge browser for Linux! But it's neither the now dead Internet Explorer nor the nasty original Edge, happily)

Chrome: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/141.0.0.0 Safari/537.36
(I actually run Chromium, the code base that runs the engine underneath both Chrome and Edge, but not pure Chrome/Linux)

Firefox: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:145.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/145.0

There is no version of Apple's Safari for Linux, not that I'm particularly bummed by that.

Notice all three strings mention "Gecko", the browser engine that runs Firefox, and only the first two mention "Chrome" since both are based on the same engine "Chromium". And all three represent as Mozilla, the name of the reborn Netscape browser. Actually, the user agent line doesn't really mean a whole lot now to most modern web sites, except for mobile versions or special cases. Even then, a browser's setup can normally change the user agent setting, which is how I can make Linux Edge pretend to be Internet Explorer v11 on Windows v10 if really needed. Not too often...

An old story of the browser wars: https://webaim.org/blog/user-agent-string-history:

The Rise of Chromium, and the Illusion of Choice

And Microsoft gave up, and tore down the old ways, and built a new Edge from the ashes, and based it on Chromium. And it too called itself Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.90 Safari/537.36 Edg/89.0.774.45. And now Edge pretended to be Chrome, which pretended to be Safari, which pretended to be KHTML, which pretended to be Gecko, and all still pretended to be Mozilla.

And so did Brave, and Opera (reborn), and Vivaldi, and others still. All built on Chromium, all aping Chrome’s user agent, all indistinguishable unless parsed down to the tail end. And there was only one real engine in the land: Chromium. And a second one, Gecko, barely holding ground in Firefox, and WebKit only in Apple’s walled garden. And the illusion of diversity masked the monoculture beneath.

And Then the Mobile Age Came

And in mobile, it grew worse. For Apple decreed: all browsers on iOS must use WebKit. And Chrome for iOS was not Chrome, and Firefox for iOS was not Firefox. They all were Safari in disguise, painted with different skins. And Android allowed more freedom, but Chromium reigned still. And developers sighed, and wrote for Chrome, and tested for Chrome, and if it worked in Chrome, it shipped.
