Southies and Tamils in general like to claim that they are more Intelligent.
This is an attempt to say how. I realise this might annoy many out there..but to
those people I say..you wouldnt complain about me saying that north indians are
more attractive – which i have in my other blogs. I believe that indians are the
most intelligent people in the world.
1)Amount of thoughts one evaluates/processes simultaneously & balance of
thought : Certain people(also neotenous people), at a given time have less
things on their mind…they evaluate lesser amount of things (other thoughts or
brain activities) while formulating their thought. This can also be termed as
brain activity in terms of number of activations and flow of different thoughts
in the brain. A child who wants chocolate thinks only about the chocolate( only
one thought) But a parent is evaluating a number of things such as good/badness,
the cost, the effort, the right thing to do for the child etc etc. This ability
to consider all aspects,side of things leads to maturity, ability to judge
better and a balanced behaviour. I mean, its also not exactly thinking about it
different thoughts simultaneously or inparallel…..but somehow they think about
every associated aspect/factor pertaining to something by means of well rounded
thinking every moment of their consciousness. This ability of well-roundedness
is in the neural structure of your brain(genetic and conditioning/nurture),
where strong and connections are made between associated things and so that one
thinks about a particular thing,all associated relevant things also comes into
mind(refer’my idea for a robot post). Actually even for the below factors/way of
thinking too, its about how ell two things get associated in the brain and
thought flows, but I guess the difference is in the orientation of the flow of
activation/thought which i will explain.So this comprehensive association
/taking into consideration and bringing in all associated aspects pertaining to
something is important and people who do not posses this ability but go on to
construct deeper logic become quite imbalanced..like those Phd cookoos who get
possessed by an illogical construct or in another type of issue sometimes fail
to focus on all aspects of their life.
People with the ability to consider all aspects of an issue are generally not
self-centred and are able to put themselves in others shoes. Their tone of voice
is also more humble and mature as they are considering how they sound to the
others and dont wanna come across as boorish or self-righteous. While dealing
with any issue/concept..they always recall and evaluate all things associated
with it and based on that – form a reasoning or inference. Maturity basically
means acting appropriately..the more factors you consider, the more appropriate
your actions will be(I mean considering more factors also leads to a deeper
logic 3A and thus help in a appropriate action).
It can be made out from their uninhibited and confident tone of talking that
north indians process lesser number of things while articulating, and the whites
are considering even lesser things than indians. I suspect that people who have
been insulted,punished,reprimanded or let down in anyway more often while
growing tend to consider a lot more things before they speak as they are a bit
more mindful/aware of not getting a desired response from the others. Hence
people who are not as attractive/admired consider/evaluate a lot more factors.
In the case of south indians factor 6 below also comes into play where everone
in the society is preconditioned to a deep and mature thought and way of
carrying themselves such as being very calm, speaking softly and being less
aggressive, forthcoming or childish and more inhibitive/curbing of their
enthusiasm n stuff. But apart from the impact of society/environment, the
natural ability to consider different factors also comes
inherently/genetically.
These are generalised scores.Some individuals of a group may exceed the avg
value mentioned. 20 doesnt mean no room for improvemet.
When I mention a group, its not about if they are urban or rural dwellers,
its just the picture that comes to my mind abt tat group. for example whn i say
tamils – i mostly think about ones from chennai and asian may refer to a mix of
FOBs and second gens living in west that i ve come across. Africans – a combo of
african africans and afro-american in combination.
Africans – 9
Chinese – 12
White Europeans – 11
Jewish- 13
Arab – 13.5
NI – 15,16
BE – 17
TA – 20
MA – 18
TE – 18
KA – 18
2)Correctness of complex logic/direction: its that ability to rightly
associate things or investigate/think about it thoroughly before associating
things to form a logic. It also means understanding/interpreting what one
reads/sees/hears in the right way. having a good vocabulary( remembering is
another aspect of having a vocabulary, but this is about the application aspect.
Also i do not consider remembering ability to be an major aspect of
intelligence) and eloquent writing are also the effects of having the
correctness of learning the rules and applying those rules. People with a lot of
pre-conceived notions,closed minded people and biased people in denial all get
this wrong – despite thinking a lot.
No saying if one group gets it correct than the other on average. This is
becoz people who only have simple things on mind will get it right most of the
time, and people who have many things on their mind or have deep thought all the
time are prone to have logical fallacies. But To evaluate correctly one must
also first consider all factors behind it and apply your logic correctly
although the higher the number of factors to consider..the complex the logic
gets and more prone to logical fallacies. I mean, maybe if one were to analyse
the IQ scores of shape association there might be some insights there. But being
able to consider a lot of things in mind- despite making someone prone to
errors, that ability i guess would also make some one process/evaluate a lot of
things and make a right association. So the above scores are also applicable
this section.
3) Depth and breadth of thought : depends on how one has learnt/constructed a
deeper logic using their ability. Breadth of thought is how many different
concepts one is able to bring into a thought, whereas the depth signifies the
level of each of those concepts – there are some concepts which are quite basic,
whereas some are more advanced.Within this, constructing deeper thought is more
tougher than concocting a number of things into a theory. Even people who have
lesser brain activity might have focused a lot and constructed a deeper/broader
logic. For example the theories of someone like rajiv malhotra are more
profound than that of lets say gurumurthy. Examples of the breadth of thought
is- drawing analogies, bringing in a lot of facts on a related thing – for
example when one talks about neoteny – its features, how its applicable amongst
animals, and all those observations regarding that particular concept. Whereas
when one talks about Depth, its will be like talking about how neoteny is
thought to have became embedded with social structure and impacting the
geo-political and the everyday scenarios today and those implications. The
breadth only means different concepts which are quite apparent.
The difference between 1 and the breadth in 3(B) is that in 1 you are
considering all the factors that impact your decision on a particular thing. But
in 3, its only different concepts, which do not necessarily bear an impact on
each other, but those which are just associated in whatever way to each other
and can just be concocted to form an essay or something. In short 1 vs 3B is
Factors vs Associated things. Another example to differentiate depth3 A from 1 –
When rajiv malhotra talks about how ancient knowledge from india is being passed
on to foreigners who take it abroad, repackage it and sell it back to indians,
he talks about a deeper process of how this U turn happens. an example for 1
would be how the planning commission works or the budget is made considering all
the factors and perspectives of the society. well assessing the need and
allocating of funds is 1, but a plan to create/build something will be 3A.
Another example is when someone talks about the religion 1 is taking into
consideration all known facts/points/aspects about what it is and the factors
that impact it. For example thinking about/taking into consideration how
religion came out of man’s lack of better explanation for forces, and that it
reduced violence and barbaricness and the fact that a lot of philosphy and
scientific/healthy practices got embedded into it. whereas a 3A would be about
infering or implying something less obvious like how it impacts other things
like politics,human behaviour in current day situation. So basically 3A is the
new inference/insight/depth one formulates in his mind, which can be used in the
future as 1(factor) driving other thought.
So to any thought you construct,there is the base of factors accounted,
length and breadth of logic. It can be imagined like a cone whose base is 1 and
its height denoting the depth mentioned in 3 A(breadth of 3b is just a
collection of other smaller cones/thoughts that occur adjacent to the main
thought). Each of the factors themselves may have sub factors and represent a
certain depth of thought(like 2,8 in the below diagram). The diagram and the
connections is not accurate to whats being explained but try to picture this –
When one starts his thought with the point 4, the factors(1) that a mature
person brings to the picture and evaluates are 5,6,7 and possibly 3 as well(the
connection is not obvious). An immature person may not be able to think about
all the relevant factors(points 5,6,7,3). So by considering the comprehensive
factors, they might arrive at a new thought point 2 and it goes higher/deeper
into 1 this way. So thats the depth 3A. Regarding 3b imagine someone in point 4,
and assume that point 10 is another thing associated with it something like
thinking about cricket, to australia to dil chatah hai movie or something – a
bunch of things associated with one another. Young, light headed people keep
jumping across different associated points(3B) without dwelving deep into one
thought area like mature ones do. And consequently are more fun for the others
coz they can keep talking about a lot of stuff and be fun or interesting. But in
the end, they stay in the same thought level, dont realise a greater depth of
logic or something new, by traversing along the same thought points that they
are already aware of – unless somewhere they stumble/drift into the logical
depth component as well in that process.
It is also important that they are able to have correctness of logic(in the
above case would be like relating to logical/thought points correctly).
other wise they are just constructing a deep bullshit or irrelevant points to
the issue you are discussing.Considering a lot of factors (1) is important, but
also rightly evaluating the factors to consider (2) to construct the theory or
address an issue is also important. Any theory will have to account for a number
of factors and also associate several concepts/train of thought to achieve a
depth. This is the primary recognition of intellect such as nobel prize
winners/inventors and other intellectual achievers have all constructed a great
depth(3A) of thought for which they are recognised as such. Also understanding
a complex theory/a bigger picture is also based on this ability, however
constructing a new complex logic is much harder and higher than understanding
existing complex logic.
Actually when i say considering/evaluating different things regarding somehting, there are not parallel though processes that happen.Thought is always linear, its just curled up like a spring to cover different areas to sorta give rise to the thought cone described above. to give you a better picture, consider the below images
When we start to think of something,it starts with the apex of 1st image. And the same linear thought process covers up a whole length(3) and spectrum(1) of things. Generally speaking the thought process has the orientation of image 2. We start from a thing(at the apex) and in our brain, there are connections and weightages associated between related things to the original thing, and in a spiral-linear fashion we think about all those things and bring them to-gether to evaluate. So we start with point D and bring to-gether the factors associated A,B and C. So A,B & C are factros directly associated with D with higher connection weightage(as created by the hebbian rule). So brinigning in all these facotrs into a thought process is skill 1. Now depth is again spiraling down and reaching the depth - point E which is associated with C but not originally or directly related to original point D. The difference between 3A depth and 3B breadth is that, 3A is the process of getting to point D, whereas 3B is the process of getting to some other point associated with C lets assum X(not in picture) which has no bearing on the direction D-C-E. Thats is X is just in the level of the line ABC and related to C (or maybe even D and A,B) but DOES NOT CONTRIBUTE toward the path of getting to thought E. The factor 5 is something Y thats related to C but not at all related to any of the thought points in contentions -A,B,D and hence also has no bearing on getting to the depth E. So 3A is the only component where thought/logic is constructed keeping the original thoughts in mind, or rather STICKING TO THE POINT. So at the end of this thought process, the person has learnt something and has acquired a logical depth associating point D with E. If this person had high component of 1, the next time he thinks about D, he will also bring in E along with all the other factors(A,B,C) while evaluating things, otherwise if he is an immature,childish person..will be quite narrow minded and only bring in point C when thinking about D the next time. Actually one doesnt always have to strictly follow a linear path to make the association between D and E. Some people always try to relate things to certain topic. For example, for a patriotic person any issue.like immigration,legislation, culture or anything at all(which would be D), he will somehow try to keep in mind the national interest (E) and try to relate that concept D with national interest (E) and focus his thought in that Direction. This happens becoz even though the hebbian weightage is low between D and E initially, the person is a patriot and the area E generally gets more activation time and hence he frequently brings E into the things he thinks about.
Just to reiterate in a different way…1)Amount of thought..considering all
associated factors covering a larger area/spectrum of thought….also includes
deeper/higher logic in each spectrum.3) Deeper thought involves not stagnating
in one thought area but healthy enough to keep constructing/associating with
things related/known/comes to mind or to think of a logic that is quite deep. People with higher component in 1 are able to pay attention/consider a lot of things like everything that is said, the speakers tone,demeanor,and things to consider like etiquette,morality, etc etc. People who are deep thinkers may become quite inconsiderate/absent minded regarding some of the above things.because there is a trade off between the components, when there is more activation focused on one section the activation is less in the other section of the brain. This is probably why a group like telugus who have a higher component in 1 do not necessarily go on to construct deeper logic with respect to a subject..they make good I.T. people but not good inventors or creators of ideas. However, whites due to their knowledge can go on to construct new concepts, and bengalis due to their inherent potential and neotenous mind can go on to construct deeper/new logic. Since Im biased towards tamils, im gonna say tamils have high potential and the brains structure to have igher processing ability along both components 1 and 3A.
Both depend on ability to associate things and construct a larger thought.
The difference is 1 involves processing every thing that comes to mind wrt an
issue and make a comprehensive assesment whereas 3 involves having a
direction/objective and construct thoughts to formulate a plan/solution. 1 is
simply recalling things we have thought about before and already associated. 3
is making a new association between 2 things in your head. 3 is obviously the
new thought you are generating and the most rewarding brain activity. Obviously
to imagine and associate things, you gotta have knowledge,education,exposure and
those nurture factors mentioned in 4. Person who has 1 but not 3 is a good
developer/engineer.So please dont say chinese should score high on 1 now coz
chinese are just hard-working and not so high inherent potential. Writers usually have a lot of 3B component in their work whereas scientists and thesis contains a igh 3A comonent. And europeans
and jews may look like they are onto deeper stuff, but its only becoz of
war,wealth,knowledge,exposure and being in a modern developed societies with a
lot of things going on..so the nurture factor – not that they are inherently
capable of generating thought than indians. person who has good 3 but not 1 is
a philosoper or in some cases artists…and then there are inventors and geniuses who are strong in both
components.
For these things again you need a lot of thinking potential/brain activity to
drive deeper thought(so people who consume spicy, healthy,fishy things have
more activity on general). not only thinking potential but also correctness of
logic and evaluate a lot of factors while constructing the logic. And also a
good brain structure through your genetics to be able to construct deeper
thoughts. This also depends on the background in which you grew up/learnt
….conditioning from the way people around you construct logic and behave also
influences your ability to construct logic.
Apart from the above factors, if you are exposed to a lot of
concepts-scientific/hi funda, knowing a lot(factor 4 mentioned below) will also
enable one to construct deeper logic. thats why people in developed countries
with good education,information and knowledge are able to thing about deeper
things and come up with a lot of ideas and concepts. But apart from the impact
of society/environment, the natural ability to consider different factors also
comes inherently/genetically.
These are generalised scores.Some individuals of a group may exceed the avg
value mentioned. 20 doesnt mean no room for improvemet.

To recap..
The above 3 are natural/inherent abilities determined mainly by genetics ,
how one has conditioned their mind to think(reflection of the background) and
also healthy brain activity by means of healthy consumption.To tackle a complex
concept..many abilities need to come together – the depth, the correctness, and
considering all factors . A concept/thought that has depth and is correct in
logic is not necessarily a comprehensive one if it doesnt take into account the
third dimension. For eg.rajiv malhotra may have the depth and correctness, but
just by the way they speak one can feel that someone like gurumurthy considering
a greater breadth of things in his mind while putting forth a point.
Also there is a difference between amount of thought/factors considered
simultaneously(1) and the amount of thought. Amount of thought is simply just
pondering a lot about superficial stuff without a great depth of
logic,correctness of logic or processing a lot of factors simultaneously. This
amount of thought is particularly high for young/neotenous minds..u know they
say they have a lot of imagination and fancy things on their mind(which is
similar to 3b – breadth of thought or 5)kinda thing….. they dont really dwell on
a particular thought area but think about different things associated and ponder
a greater breadth(3b/5) of things in their mind.To differentiate the process in
young vs old peoples brain, In old peoples brain many thoughts(the neural
pathways representing them) have really strong associations with each other and
with certain other thoughts. This means people get to these thought areas very
easily and stay in these thought zones/areas for a long time as they have
stronger weightage in that section of brain. In young peoples mind, no thougth
area/zone has relatively high neural connection/association weightage and hence
they move to different thought areas easily. As people grow up, they should
develp the ability to create this neural connection/association
weightage(learning is the process of creating neuralconnection weightages) in
such a way to create deeper/wider logic thought flow and memory properly. people
in whose brains these connection weightages are creatd well become good thinking
people and the ones in whose brain, these connection weightages are not formed
well either because of genes or nurture or conditioning become not so bright
people.People who consume a lot of spicy food/fishy food/heahlthy brain cells
development also have higher activity in the brain..which depends on these age
and health factor mostly..nevertheless there is also a gradient based on the
different groups..i mean Tamils or bengalis generally may have a higher brain
activity compared to lets say a punjabi or a kannada, but it also depends on age
and health too..so its difficult to come up with scores for these. This along
with the memory factor depends on age and health and so not making a generalised
scored for these and not considering these as primary intelligent quotients
In the end, components 1,2 and 3a,b are all thoughts/neuronal activation in
different orientation.Which means anyone who puts an effort can exceed in those
components.and their brain structure(genetic) and conditioning/nurture from
background helps too.
The below are aspects depending on the society where they live and access to
inputs/information(nurture).
4) Number of things they know(knowledge):So people receiving good
eductaion/inputs from being part of a knowledgeble circle/city with exposure
will know all the important/sophisticated hi-fi things and whether your city has
good education,knowledge and ideas floating around(whereby you get the
knowledge-building blocks to form new ideas). this also helps them in
formulating complex/sophisticated/hi-funda thoughts. one indicator of this
ability is the amount of time and effort people spend in browsing/acquiring new
information across any field.
These are generalised scores.Some individuals of a group may exceed the avg
value mentioned. 21 doesnt mean no room for improvemet.

BE: 19
TA: 20 (engineering,nobel laureates, and education level
of chennaiites)
MA: 19
TE: 17
kA: 16
5)Number of new things they think about/amount of brain activty:
Sometimes..even people with higher activity potential,deeper & correct
logical thinking ability..do not necessarily think about many different things,
for reasons such as they might be very conservative and are not very keen or
inquisitive about other things. They are just happy thinking about the same
things again and again..or rather forced to be that way becoz of
work/society(..imagine a I.T. developer vs a bohemian artist), and appear as if
they arent generating different/a variety of thought. For example monks living
simple life and having simple thoughts. Neotenous/childish people do not curb
their thinking and generate thought about different things and there fore may be
one up compared to a conservative person based on variety of their thinking.
People having fun and exploring new areas score high in this.respect to a
particular thing/thought, whereas here its about keeping an free mind and
observing/wondering about a lot of things they come across.
The pattern of this thought is similar to 3b, the small difference is in 3b
its about associating different things with the particular concept/thought in
contention, whereas this is about making an conscious effort to explore
different things. This is reflected in the importance to
art/novelty/culture/celebrations given in the society also considering the
economic constraints.

The developed, rich and multicultural countries obviously have a lot of
interesting stuff going on.Closer scoes doesnt mean that certain indians’
thought is similar to western thought – they think of drastically different
things/issues in the west and here. But things are also a bit eventful and a lot
going on here in India.
6)Prior Exposure and conditioning with Deeper thoughts/philosophy : South
indians’ thoughts are predisposed and skewed towards maturity..They are
conditioned(by society) to feel right about being less aggressive..less
aggressiveness being associated with maturity. So exposure to high funda logic
from their society..will steer their thoughts in the right way..and will help
them in achieving a superior logical position.for eg. how people and everyone in
certain societies are influenced by religious or other philosophical teachings
followed by that society. So some south indians truely understand why its good
to be mature, however a vast majority(who do not exercise much thought) are just
mature because sub-consciously it feels right and appropriate in that society
and sub-consciously get to that higher logical position. This is not the same as
the impact of ones background in the way they generate/construct logic or
thought mentioned in 3
These are generalised scores.Some individuals of a group may exceed the avg
value mentioned. 20 doesnt mean no room for improvemet.

May be a lot of SE asian communities exposed to South Indian rulers have a
maturity level of 18
a reason for the southies to occupy the moral higher ground is the aggressive
and self-centred nature of northies. It is well know that southies are more
mature/passive whereas are northies are more aggressive and forth-coming. In a
north indian circle,a few of the good looking centre of attractions dont really
care about how they make the others around them feel. When they are the centre
of attraction, the other have to resort to being the not -so preferred/invisible
losers and have to pretend to have fun by being an extra/ a side-kick to those
aggressive ones, despite feeling bad inside…for eg the girl wearing the green
shirt in 00.22-00.23 – look at how superficially she is shaking her head and
made to look like a fool
north and south Indians are culturally and genetically closest to each other
compared to any other ethnic group like say persians or arabs… The differences
in intellect are primarily are brought about from the physical differences and
only to a small extent based on history..for eg. the guptas or magadhas or
mauryas before covered all of what people consider the northern part( i mean the
marathis and orissa up to kashmir,indus in the north-west front) ..and so that
belt was sorta were culturally similar.
Even in the hottest places of the northern belt, they had a mix of both hot
and cold seasons..as in if it was hotter for 9 months, at least for 3 months
they had cold season. The cold weather makes muscles stronger and firmer and
also gives rise to firm/sharp and neotenous features. This mix of climate is
very good biologically speaking in contrast to an monotonous climate. And in the
south, the climate was mainly hot with the exception of hilly regions and it
does not get as cold and chilly as it gets up north. This makes skin,musles dry
and saggy or slightly puffy features – however you would describe it. These skin
n muscles never get a chance to firm up as there are no cold seasons in the
year. And so the physical features of south indians are less neotenous(youthful
is the simple translation)..like non-flatter face, bigger eyes, lesser distance
between eyes, nose and mouth compared to the rest of the facial area, dark dry
and thick skin etc.
One cannot claim that physical neoteny will not have any effect on the
intellectual neoteny of people. A society, of group of people where its people
have a lot of neotenous features will feel and act more neotenous and thereby
making the culture of the group more neotenous, and the neotenous culture(with
more singing,dancing, liberal attitude, forth coming and aggressiveness) will
also shape and re-inforce neoteny in the physical looks and the faces of its
people.
So even a smaller percentage of physical differences can sometime lead to a
lot of differences..for example a society where there are 60% physically
neotenous people-their culture is mainly going to be neotenous. Whereas a
society where 60% of its people have mature physical traits and 40% noetenous
traits..here the culture of the society will tend to be more mature. And if the
culture is mature, the later generations will be more mature and if the culture
is neotenous, the later generations will be more neotenous.
the community of deepika padukone..gowd saraswat brahmins..even though they
have nice and fair features, they are quite mature because of the cultural
closeness of konkani with kanada and south, and hence deepika comes across as
distinctly mature as comapred to someone from maharashtra- closer to karnataka
border. The only north indian actress who strikes me as a mature(not naturally
neotenous in behaviour) person is madhuri dixit. I cannot think of any south
indian actress who is not mature(vineetha thottumkal maybe).
Some other examples of how the culture you are in affects your look. When i
try to look for mudaliar brides in Bharath matrimony, I can notice how some of
them born and brought up in the north, with not too strict of parenting look
more cuter and look just like north indians. If you browse saurashtran profiles(
who supposedly settled in TN some 300 years back), they look very similar to
south indians despite having fair skin. And take the examples of Madhavan and
swara bhaskar or meghna naidu, they look and act more of north indian than
typical south indian faces.
Like I said before , it is all thought oriented in different ways/directions.
Two people having the same amount of activation potential in the brain might
focus and direct their potential in different ways (1,2,3a,3b or 5) leading to
different personalities(although it also depends on the structure of neurons in
the brain which determine the ease in which direction the thought might flow)
and so any group, if they can focus enough achieve a high score in any of the
above factors. In other blogs ive discussed about nice guys finishing last and
why people who think too much/geeks/nerds are not really that fun. To explain
this with the above components, intelligent/nice/mature guys have higher
scores/orientation components in 1 and 6. 6 is especially a fun killing
component as it deals with the code to conduct oneself in the society
,discipline, maturity and stuff. 6 kinda kills the spontaneous thinking that
comes about with the 5th component and 1 is a drag on 3b. 5 and 3b are the
components of neoteny,being spontanious, interesting and fun thoughts, whereas 1
makes a person dwell/stagnate in a particular component and think about it
thoroughly like nerds. This is why south indians are doing well in
technical/I.T. / law etc .3a(depth) is also good, if the thought is a fun
thought – like some nice poets and writers have good scores in this component
and they are comparitively fun/romantic people too. However if 3a(depth) is in a
mature/nerdy thought, that works the opposite way – like it does for tamils –
not in their wit(mean to say they have good sense of humour) but in their
philosophical(like conservatism,tradition,patriotism) part.and 3a works in a
good way for bengali girls and make them very engaging and fun.
The areas and the scores may be updated as i get to think about it more.
