Formerly gifted child. Currently gifted adult. There is a slight flaw in my character.

Yes, a whiteboy with motion gets a lavender cream matcha. What of it?

Matrix reasoning tests are overrated and overused. Here is just one novel test that measures fluid intelligence comparably to Raven's Advanced Progressive Matrices. Jastrzębski et al. (2023) developed Graph Mapping, a simple computerized test that requires participants to map a pair of corresponding nodes across two relationally isomorphic but visually distinct graphs. The authors found that Graph Mapping has excellent psychometric properties, with convergent validity and reliability comparable to three prominent fluid reasoning IQ tests (including RAPM). Unique advantages were noted: Graph Mapping has short administration times, is easy to generate items for, and is unfamiliar to participants. For the Comprehensive Online Reasoning Exam (CORE), we created our own Graph Mapping test. We found that CORE GM has a g-loading of .76 (and FRI load of .78), slightly higher than matrix reasoning (.73) was on CORE!





it’s so cool how buddhism has finally found product-market fit



the MeToo industrial complex takes it as a given that all men are rapey brutes, and as such are only moved by a cold calculus of sex vs punishment and not by a desire to be moral and do good. in that ledger there are only two types of men: predator or coward


friend of mine has been burned out in every job for years and thinks he just needs to "take some more time off" to get back to how he was before. :( I'm sorry, if it's been years it's probably not going to be so easy

Underrated challenge in war: If you try to maintain equal unit sizes, then bad commanders will receive more resources over time than good commanders. Ukraine solved this for drone teams by creating a marketplace where the currency is video-confirmed kills of Russians.
