@Devon_Eriksen_ Wouldn't part of intelligence be knowing which answer is expected even if you could conjur up alternate answers?

This is why IQ tests don't work too well on really smart people. Because sorta smart people tend to give the expected answer. And really smart people tend to point out that the question is wrong, and start arguing with the test, or trying to correct it, thereby making the test impossible to grade and annoying everyone. The expected answer to this is 72. Because 2*2*2 = 8 and 5*5*2 = 50, so 6*6*2 = 72. But the (really) correct answer is "I don't know." Because what you have is two points on a 3 dimensional graph (x,y) -> z. z = 2*x*y is one surface that can be drawn through these two points. And I suspect it's the simplest formula for a surface that can be so drawn, although I haven't bothered to check. But an infinite number of contiguous surfaces can be drawn in three dimensions that encompass these points (2,2,8) and (5,5,50). Each of these surfaces can be described by its own formula. Some of them will also touch (6,6,72). But others of them will touch (6,6, {something else entirely}) instead. This might sound really, really pedantic. But it's not. Everyone knows that the expected answer is the simple one, but that's only on a test... a fake artificial made up problem. When we start trying to do this in the real world, which, after all is what this "IQ" thing is actually for, then using the same kind of "IQ test thinking" can get you in trouble. "My 3-month-old son is now TWICE as big as when he was born. He's on track to weigh 7.5 trillion pounds by age 10." -@pronounced_kyle Fitting the simplest-formula curve, as opposed to the correct curve, makes our predictions of real-world stuff dead wrong. So this kind of test question promotes a dangerous habit of thought. But, Devon, I hear some of you ask, doesn't the principle of Occam's Razor demand that we fit the simplest curve? No. No, it does not. It does not require that we select the simplest possible answer, given what we have currently seen. It requires that we prefer hypotheses that make fewer assumption to those that make more. These are two different things entirely. If I see one black sheep, the simplest hypothesis is that all sheep are black. The hypothesis requiring the fewest assumptions is that at least one sheep is black on at least one side. You will note which of these is correct. All of this is, of course, irrelevant to questions on IQ test. But questions on an IQ test only matter as much as they are relevant to the actual universe... Where ideas like this are very relevant indeed.

"What if the hot guy was bad?" "But he can't be bad!" "How would you feel if he was bad?" "But that's impossible! I don't understand the question."

@masochistmartyr Jarvis post the graph

this whole “women only want the top 1% hottest guys” thing is a total reversal fantasy conjured up to excuse for these loser men to give up on life. ONLY women will date below themselves in attractiveness, men won’t. it’s chosen psychosis.

@EcclesiarTG @Michaeldudufudu This is like a boomer telling you to get a job by walking in, asking for a manager and giving them a firm handshake.

@Michaeldudufudu If you use online dating tools, you let the woman decide the whole thing with nothing to aid you. Be a man, delete the account and ask women out in person. Facial expression, body language and pheromones will aid you more than you think.

it was literally this easy for millenials

@JessPected @Casuarius2000 Foid can't determine cause and effect

@Casuarius2000 They hate you because you're an incel. Hope this helps.

A man compares short women to toddlers, claims he "shredded" them in bed. I point out how horrific misogyny & dominance culture is for women. Men: actually men have it worse because sometimes women won't have sex with us.

@Michaeldudufudu I wish brother, I wish.

why dont incels just marry girls that look like this

@Rothmus never call Oyasumi Punpun foid fiction, it's an insult to the worl

Romance accounted for 58% of Amazon’s best-selling ebooks in 2023 btw

@noidedjester LOL POINT AND LAUGH

If I fail and end up a vegetable I’ll be so pissed

@ViperlL7 @buckthebigguy77 @X1204thecityfel Ok nigga you get 2 hours, then you'll start mourning a sub 3 chud who blew his brains out right?

@buckthebigguy77 @X1204thecityfel There’s a time and a place. This young lady killed herself and you are using her for an agenda. Have some shame

@tomsappetite lol eurofags crying. Y'all talked shit on the last 50 disasters here I'll be laughing while gramps roasts in his eurofag home.

entire world was supposed to stop and pray when LA was on fire but this heatwave that threatens multiple natural disasters coming again in europe gets ridiculed and this is why EVERYONE hates americans youre all so ego centric and narcissistic it’s insane

@0613_ali I will sure enjoy my imaginary privilege. Thank you.

@LucullusII Whatever helps you cope with your privilege

I see women with ugly dudes all the time. You only need to look at Hollywood to see how common that is. The reverse never happens. Women are primarily rated by their looks. There is no greater offense to men than a woman being not attracticve to them personally.

@0613_ali You are the one out of touch with reality. Reality agrees with me.

@LucullusII I can’t even express to you how out of touch you are with reality

@0613_ali That is precisely the case

@LucullusII Now you know damn well that’s not the case 😭

@0613_ali You live in a fantasy land

@LucullusII You could say it in reverse, but it’d simply be wrong. There is no comparison.

@Paula74829 @Gryffix "You wouldn't like these features in a girl" because of course I wouldn't. Humans have sexual dimorphism.

@Paula74829 @Gryffix masculine features are unattractive on women and feminine features are unattractive on men. The guy above has universally attractive features (symmetry, health indicators) + attractive masculine features. This guy has feminine features. Its a bit silly to say-

@0613_ali And to add, the bar for "beauty" which men have is so exaggerated by you types. You act like men expect you to work on your body 8 hours every day or you'll never find love. In actuality the expectation of the average man is "Don't be fat and brush your hair" and you'll find men.

@0613_ali as tools to be used. The only traits which can make up for being ugly as a man are wealth and power. Does that sound like a good thing to you? "yeah my wife hates me but she uses me for my money so I can pretend to be happy". Only a foid would think that situation is good.

@notalioamber @Gryffix Strong jawline, good symmetry, clear skin, desirable bf%. You're proving my point. Thank you.

@LucullusII @Gryffix he's middle aged and bald, he's not an objective 6.5
