@DiDi2009 @AdamInHTownTX @Breaking911 When you find out everything they do is with the purpose of reducing the planet's population, things like this really start to make a lot more sense.

@TheTrueBudman @uubzu I've heard that, but like I said, the data was based on some stupid record women hold across the English Channel. Go research it, I dare you.

@SteelSmack @uubzu Ultra long-distance swimming is one where women win. It's because women carry more fat making them more buoyant and their center of gravity is another physiological advantage reducing effort for that task.

People say things like “why aren’t women competitive with men at ? It doesn’t rely on upper body strength” as if bench press max is the only distinction between the sexes. The QT lists a few more A woman is, a man becomes. This manifests in more ways than can be listed. There will always be a few outliers, but at the population level women can’t compete with men at ANYTHING except endeavors where women have a biological advantage (e.g. ultra-endurance) or which are otherwise designed to reward the handful of aspects where women hold a relative advantage Stop acting surprised that men are better at darts or training horses or chess or literally anything else where there’s no “obvious” reason men should dominate it. There IS an obvious reason. They’re men!
Eli Harman@MartianHoplite

@uubzu @JustinMacmahan The advantages men have 1) competitiveness 2) obsession 3) risk tolerance 4) firm, directed, masculine energy. Almost insurmountable for a chaotic, indirect, hedging, risk averse, consensus seeker. (There might be some overlap of the distributions but there is none at the tails.)

The husband-housework debate misses the real story: class. ✔️ Affluent moms generally have husbands who are reliable breadwinners and pull real weight at home ✔️ Poor/working-class moms—many of them single—are often doubly burdened as primary breadwinners AND caregivers

Jill Filipovic@JillFilipovic

Men routinely overestimate the amount of childcare and housework they do. Women underestimate how much they do and overestimate how much their husbands do. One solution: dads should commit to doing 70% of the work and it’ll wind up closer to 50-50.

This is fascinating. Logically the answer is red button: If you push the red button, you survive guaranteed. That applies to everyone. Just press red and go home, everyone lives, the end. The only reason you’d press the blue button is: A. You’re a fucking moron. B. You want to die. C. You’re willing to risk your life to save A&B from the consequences of their own decisions. It’s the perfect embodiment of the mentality that society constantly needs to deprioritize itself to cater to the lowest common denominator. To save them from themselves. Now the question is: is that suicidal empathy that will bring about the end of society, or is it a remarkable display of humanity that sets us apart from the rest of the animal kingdom?
Tim Urban@waitbutwhy

Everyone in the world has to take a private vote by pressing a red or blue button. If more than 50% of people press the blue button, everyone survives. If less than 50% of people press the blue button, only people who pressed the red button survive. Which button would you press?

@Lypto @RoKhannaNews No, no, they don't actually care about others, they just want you to think they do. Probably very big on taxing the rich and government welfare but low on actually donating/volunteering.

@RoKhannaNews Another question for blue voters: You must be pro-life, right? Since you’re willing to risk your life to save strangers and want others to do the same. Surely you’d be willing to be inconvenienced for 9 months to save a life and would want others to do the same?

The pattern played out like this: - Duh Red is the obvious choice. Nobody dies if everyone pushes red. There's not reason to push blue. - Blue button pusher think they have a bullet proof rebuttal... Some confused or irrational people will push blue. Therefore the knee-jerk red reaction is naive and the true enlightened position is that that you must push blue. Unfortunately, that turns out to be the naive position. Consider the following...

@mfacehero Red is not the rational choice unless you are OK with mass death.

@kristalynnterry @Nick_Davidov I am willing to risk my life to save others, but I pushed red. I'm just better at analyzing what humans would do in real life than most brainlets online. It's easy to virtue signal and pretend you'd push blue, but almost no one actually would.

Everyone calls the RED vs BLUE button a Prisoner's Dilemma. It isn't. It's actually game theory + decision theory + Kantian/evidential reasoning + coordination dynamics + moral cascades, all colliding in one button. So I spent $100 in Perplexity Computer credits building an interactive calculator that takes every reason people give for pressing RED or BLUE and turns it into Expected Value math. EV is one of the most underrated decision tools for founders, investors, managers, parents. And math doesn't have to be cold - you can put morals, feelings, and other people's feelings inside the integral. Check this out: redblue.pplx.app

@PlayoffTigers @nonfictionation @pr0ud_americans And it's not like they're actually independent anyway. California wouldn't be a 92% Democrat share of congressional districts if the commission was actually fair. It's clearly and obviously biased.

@nonfictionation @pr0ud_americans It’s this way because 538 assumed Dems wouldn’t dismantle the independent Redistricting commissions in states like CA and VA, among others. In reality that figure is a lot closer.

🚨 What if both parties went all-in on gerrymandering every single state, maxed out for whichever party controls it? The House would end up with 262 Republican seats to 173 Democratic seats. That’s not spin. It’s the outcome from FiveThirtyEight’s most aggressive redistricting simulation. Republicans control more state governments with multiple districts, and Democratic voters cluster in dense cities — making it easier to “pack” blue votes into fewer districts when the map-drawers want to. Even in a full-throttle, both-sides-do-it scenario, the math delivers a clear national edge. Fair maps matter. Independent redistricting commissions anyone? What do you think fixes this? 🇺🇸

@Xicor333 @pr0ud_americans Again, you can draw the districts so rural voters are always the minority. Rural voters are 13-14% of the electorate. It’s not hard to make them a minority in any district.

@myockey @cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero He's a midwit that thinks he's smart and didn't even use a remotely good test for testing IQ. Calling it a verbal IQ test is laughable, at best.

Red and blue button pushers: who's smarter? In a mostly-subscriber sample who took a brief verbal IQ test, the answer is... Blue pushers! If the whole population has an IQ of 100 with an SD of 15, their mean IQ would be 101.9, versus 97.0 for reds.

@cremieuxrecueil @mfacehero The person who set up the "verbal IQ test" (lol it isn't) said this. If you're ever wondering why people don't trust you, this would be a good example of why.

@antibearthesis Pay off the car today. Begin investing 15% of gross income (index fund or similar). Get 6 months of *necessary expenses* in an emergency fund (assuming the $25K doesn't cover it). Start saving up for a house. He's young and still has plenty of time and he's doing great.

I've received 166 wordsum scores plus blue/red button press results, and I'm so tempted to look, but I have to wait until I hit my target sample size of 2,350. Which side's button pushers will end up being more intelligent?
