If ever there was a line where you get to use the guns, this is one.

“You either need to transition your child or you don’t get to keep your child.” Attorney Erin Friday says California Child Protective Services can threaten parents who refuse to use their child’s preferred pronouns. She told me she feared calling the police when her 13 year old daughter ran away because she worried CPS would take her child. “My daughter, who was 13 years old, just starting high school, was secretly socially transitioned at school.” “The school started to call my daughter by a male name, use male pronouns.” “When I called the school and told them to stop, that next week Child Protective Services was at my door.” “The next day, the police.” “That was an immediate alert to me that the school wants to parent my child.” “If I didn’t follow and call my daughter a boy, Child Protective Services may come and take my child away.” “Parents in Southern California had lost custody of their children because they wouldn’t transition their daughter.” “I already had a black mark, and a few months later my daughter ran away.” “The normal thing for a parent to do is to ask law enforcement to help find your child… but I couldn’t make that phone call.” “Because Child Protective Services can swoop in anytime and take my child.” “It’s coercion at its highest level.” “You don’t get to parent your child.” “This is America. This is insane.” @erinfriday75490

$7,800 a month for cars you will never own. Or in the best case scenario pay off right before they break down. People who buy brand new cars are Chattel.

By experience, number 3 is incorrect. IQ is extremely maleable. ☑️ Mine at ~15 years old was 127 as seen on a list on the nun's teacher desk (read it upside down on the sly). At age ~40 it was up to 167 as measured by two corroborating tests. The reason it doesn't normally change is because of 👉🏼 failure to maleate it. People stop most mental exercise after schooling ends. Thereafter, they just sail off on 'automatic'. They no longer mentally strain to figure out abstract principles. They stop doing "forced induction" (what human beings do well) ... and do only "free induction" (what animals do). My example required about 100,000 hours of experience at figuring out (wrestling with) complex and/or inscrutable logical problems over a 25 year period. Think about it. If you practice anything at all ... you get progressively better at it ... over years of study and exercise. Why would general problem solving (which is what IQ tests measure) be any different ?? 👍🏼 ------///------ IQ is a measure of the tools you have in your mental tool box ... in concert with experience at using those tools. Tools x Experience = IQ And yes, there is an inherited aspect to it. What I'm proposing here is that whatever you are born with ... can be greatly improved. So, if you inherit an 80 ... you can up it to 120 over a twenty year period of intense effort.

Fifteen simple facts about IQ. Summary edition. 1. IQ is highly predictive of life success. 2. The heritability of IQ is around 80%. 3. We don’t know of any way to permanently raise IQ. 4. IQ drives SES and not the other way around. 5. IQ is highly predictive of complex job performance. 6. MZ twins have more similar IQs than DZ twins. 7. IQ correlates with total brain volume. 8. Higher IQ brains have superior glucose metabolic efficiency. 9. Older siblings have higher average IQs. 10. Early childhood education doesn’t permanently raise IQ. 11. Playing Mozart won’t raise your child’s IQ. 12. The effects of the shared environment on adult IQ are negligible. 13. Couples IQs generally match within 13 points. 14. Parents make equal genetic contributions to their child’s IQ. 15. EQ is fake.
