looking into getting a passport & it would seem that you need to have 3 friends with a passport in order to apply... what kind of pyramid scheme is the canadian government running here

5 years ago I was a nurse making $50k.
Last year I made over $300K as a freelance DevOps Engineer.
Now I help other people reach their dream of a remote 6-figure career in tech.
Comment "DEVOPS" and I'll dm you a full roadmap (100% free)
(Must be following or it won't work)

The purportedly "high IQ" reasoning style is NOT strictly rational.
It's a thinking style that massively over-weights risk, essentially a "perma-bearish" mentality.
It underperforms "stupid" people in situations where the real risk is very low and the reward is large.

In the USA, they can always "afford the consequences." No children starve due to poverty. So who is the clever one here?

@Empty_America I think because they are more likely to be sent to war and hence to die. I have never looked in much detail but I have heard that men of higher intelligence in some european countries were more likely to due during ww2.

Interesting to consider that there are almost certainly severe personal fitness/survival disadvantages to being "thrice-exceptional."
Otherwise it wouldn't be exceptional, would it?
The genes are there in the population.
But nature clearly prefers different "builds."
Crémieux@cremieuxrecueil
I simulated 100,000 people to show how often people are "thrice-exceptional": Smart, stable, and exceptionally hard-working. I've highlighted these people in red in this chart:

@Empty_America Honestly, I would much rather live in Coruscant and vacation in Arcadia than the other way around

@Empty_America True, perhaps that has more to do with the aging of the developed world, the problem is it seems that fertility drops are extending to lower and lower gdp per capita.
In this context, development ie your best bet, else you might be aged and under-developed
English
@free_thinker_9 It's quite possible that even the military power returns of development go negative at some point.
Modern Japan probably could no longer conquer a younger and more populous but less developed country.
English
Many people implicitly believe that "development" has some inherent value outside of human happiness.
Most would probably agree that Filipinos seem happier.
But the same people would insist Japan is a superior society, because more developed.
Odd if you think about it.
Joseph@aestheticist_
@Empty_America i was in japan and then the philippines on the same trip years ago and there is no doubt that the average filipino is much happier than the average japanese.

@sammarelich I never seem to be able to comprehend this idea, granted I have never hired anybody, what's the psychology behind this?
English
Two things are true here:
1: it sounds like the interviewer was an asshole
2: most employers will skip Peiyuan after seeing him post this
Poor judgement
Everyone clapping in the comments will not be there for this guy (see Cloudflare girl for another cautionary story)
English
@Empty_America It feels weird, everybody loves the comfort of modernity, but I think a lot of people have a sense of something missing(misplaced or real)....
Perhaps, we can never know what we are missing unless we were there which we can't....
English
The world already ended.
Yet here we are.

The beautiful, the exotic, the forgotten. A world that has left us. A world that was indeed more beautiful. A world that beamed with youth, crafts of natural material, bodies shaped by the sun and nature, a world without machines lived with primitive ignorance. instagram.com/junglesofdorado
