@jonatanpallesen @wil_da_beast630 That is exactly how IQ works. Every test is set so population average is 100

@wil_da_beast630 "with the population set at 100" That's not how IQ works. If someone has their IQ measured at court, it's not based on setting the population at 100.

We...don't. The Black IQ, with the population set at 100 - which is where the white mean/range below comes from - is 91, not "75." Black people make up 13% of the population, and commit ~15% of Index/felony violent crimes vs whites/Caucasians (BJS-NCVS 2023). Crime is down by about half since the 1980s. We ALL want vengeance for Iryna. But, this "dissident" stuff is just a lighter-toned version of race hustling.

In no way are you "just as American" as I am. We have nothing in common. No shared history, culture, religion, worldview, tradition, or values to speak of whatsoever. What you are is the product of foreign colonizers who managed to exploit my country's legal system to legitimize your invasion, and I will support any political leader or movement that will denaturalize and deport you and everyone like you.

Women should be removed from all positions of power forever. We ran the experiment and it almost destroyed civilisation.

Every video from 20 years ago looks like White supremacist propaganda

You'll notice that the demands for toleration of incompatible foreign ideologies only apply to America. If I immigrated to Saudi Arabia and started eating bacon in the middle of the street, chances are that wouldn't go over too well given the culture. But Muslims will declare that they not only have no intention of assimilating to our culture, but want to create their own enclaves that are actively hostile to it. That's not immigration. That's an invasion.

This is one of the biggest myths in social media and success in general This narrative of 'it takes time to build success' is so false The reason I speak out so passionately against this is because this narrative genuinely limited me mentally for a long time Having scaled multiple info offers to 6-7 figures a month, it does not take a long time at all Because it does not depend on time It's simply a case of doing the right things Life is ruthless, it does not care that you have made 22,000 posts or been in the game for 10 years If the 14 year old kid who knows nothing does the right thing first time, he will go viral and make money on day 1 Success on social media, just like anything, is just about executing a set of fundamental principles and applying them correctly to your context The faster you learn these principles and learn how to implement them correctly for your niche, the faster you will be successful with it If it takes you years and years without success you simply did not put enough effort into finding out what 'right' looks like Let's stop glorifying failure because failure alone is pointless Mistakes + very fast iteration are what create learning and lead to results

Considering that the S&P500 has compounded at 11.05% per annum over the past 40 years (a 65x multiple on capital), one insight that emerges is that the ultra-rich (specifically the centi-millionaires & billionaires of the 1980s) must be really terrible at managing their money.

This is still one of the most offensive things to happen in recent times. A genius, co-discoverer of DNA, unpersoned because he spoke a forbidden scientific truth. The equivalent of Galileo being persecuted by the Church

There's a physicist at Stanford named Safi Bahcall who modeled this exact principle and the math is wild. He calls it "phase transitions in human networks." When you're stationary, your probability of a lucky event is limited to your existing surface area: the people you already know, the places you already go, the ideas you've already been exposed to. Your opportunity window is fixed. When you move, your collision rate with new nodes in a network increases nonlinearly. Double your movement (new conversations, new cities, new projects) and your probability of a serendipitous encounter doesn't double. It roughly quadruples. Because each new node connects you to their entire network, not just to them. Richard Wiseman ran a 10-year study at the University of Hertfordshire tracking self-described "lucky" and "unlucky" people. The single biggest differentiator wasn't IQ, education, or family money. Lucky people scored significantly higher on one trait: openness to experience. They talked to strangers more, varied their routines more, and said yes to invitations at nearly twice the rate. The "unlucky" group followed the same routes, ate at the same restaurants, and talked to the same 5 people. Their networks were closed loops. No new inputs, no new collisions. Luck isn't random. Luck is surface area. And surface area is a function of movement. The lobster emoji is doing more work than most people realize. Lobsters grow by shedding their shell when it gets too tight. The growth requires a period of total vulnerability. No protection, no armor, soft body exposed to the ocean. That's the cost of movement nobody posts about. You have to be uncomfortable first. The new shell only hardens after you've already moved.

I am totally radicalized on the issue of criminal justice. We should increase executions by like a thousand percent. Bring back hard labor. Bring back corporal punishment. Bring back public lashings. Bring back public hangings. Our ancestors were right about all of that.

Canada is cooked

It took centuries of toil and sacrifice to reach the apex of human civilization that is America. The crux of the Democrat agenda is to resettle the masses of the world on our shores and redistribute the wealth and resources our civilization has produced until nothing is left.

Maybe groceries are so expensive because 42 million people get theirs for free. Just a thought.

@theralkia I have never dated a woman that understood anything. I just make them my little baby girls so they are feminine and don't complain

"Allowing virtually every citizen to vote has been a catastrophic disaster for the United States. We have allowed illiterate, uneducated citizens to hold hostage the world’s largest economy, most powerful military, and a robust intellectual culture. It has decimated the concept of civitas and allowed powerful actors with bad intentions to influence those who cannot think for themselves. To restore the United States, we must seriously consider ending universal suffrage." Read more below. ‍ ‍

I finally made a meme I've been thinking about for a while.

Unpopular opinion We should have an IQ test as one of the requirements for immigration to the United States and anyone under 100 IQ should be rejected
