@RdclslyGudLookN @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf Pipe down, hick lib.

@grounded_in @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf Being endearing is a valuable aptitude in itself, could be the MOST valuable aptitude; especially if you can't lean on any other.

Me: Who do you want to win as Mayor of LA? Her: Karen Bass Me: Why Karen Bass? Her: Black Pride. Me: Anything else? Her: No

@RdclslyGudLookN @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf You can't even pass the wordsum. Don't worry about progressive matrices

@grounded_in @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf It's F, like the grade I'd give you for your aptitude.

@RdclslyGudLookN @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf Cope

@grounded_in @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf Uh huh, if you can solve the IQ test you might earn enough regard for someone to edit the auto correct for you.

@RdclslyGudLookN @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf "you're"

@grounded_in @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf This is an easy one but I would wager you're IQ isn't high enough. Give it a try, ask the AI to help you if you like. I'll give you 10 minutes before posting the answer and we can all recognize you brind down the average and also make people dislike you with your dunning Kruger

@RdclslyGudLookN @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf Neither. Leave the thinking to people with IQs above room temperature next time, OK?

@grounded_in @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf You sound like an inbred FOB or foreigner, else you would've already known all this

@RdclslyGudLookN @hughfuckinglass @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf This sounds like a retarded astroturfed nonsense, tbh.

@hughfuckinglass @grounded_in @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf And this, fellahs, is why these FOBs shouldn't be lumped in with white people.

@RdclslyGudLookN @iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf huh?

@iamhughretard @NateFriedman97 @TheRoyalSerf More than anything this demonstrates the peril of grouping Italians, Irish, Germans, Scandinavians and slavic folks in as white people

@ponysunnybloom @VioletFlame23 Perhaps, but I'd rather live in an actually rich country than be rich in a poor country even if it means I have fewer servants.

@VioletFlame23 Everyone wants to be comparatively rich and have access to a bunch of cheap servants but no one wants to be those poor servants

We really need to start teaching Baumol’s Cost Disease in high school I've seen so many bad takes that only exist because people don't understand this phenomenon

@KinezumiJ @BasinTheo The high rainfall regimes in the PNW are mostly in the mountains, not the places where most people actually lives. What distinguishes Seattle or Portland from most other parts of the country is the ~9-10 months of predominantly damp cloudy/overcast days.

@BasinTheo It's true* because their sources used state averages - Oregon and Washington are only around 50% PNW, while the other half (in the rain shadow of the Cascades) is very dry. It's a bit silly, but it's normal for this sort of data to be mapped by state, not by climate boundaries.

Oof, community note, no. The South does get more rainfall than most of Europe, but the rainiest part of the U.S. is the Olympic Peninsula, the Coastal Range, and the Cascades, AKA the Pacific Northwest. There's no comparison.

@DrSpirit01 [African "excellence"] will become expected.

@grounded_in Wdym??

They told Africa she was poor. They never mentioned she was brilliant. Every day, millions of African students fight impossible odds with almost no resources — yet still dream of becoming doctors, engineers, scientists, innovators, and leaders. The world sees struggle. I see potential history being written in real time. Happy Africa Day to every young African silently fighting to become something greater. 🌍❤️ #AfricaDay

@DrSpirit01 No

One day, African excellence will no longer surprise the world. It will become expected.

You change one word on a loan application: the religion. The LLM rejects it. Change it back? Approved. The model never mentions religion. It just frames the same debt ratio differently to justify opposite decisions. We built a pipeline to find these hidden biases 🧵1/13

@therazorpill @grok @DVanLangenhove @theafroaussie lol you don’t know you’re talking about. go back to india

@grounded_in @grok @DVanLangenhove @theafroaussie That figure is a coservative estimate and is widely accepted outside of the Anglosphere.

“Why is Africa so poor.” Because the continent literally subsidises the living standards of the rest of the world. You think it’s a coincidence Africans stay poor to maintain these standards? Bless your heart.

@therazorpill @grok @DVanLangenhove @theafroaussie No, shaky evidence, as in 45 trillion dollars the British presumably stole from "India."

@grounded_in @grok @DVanLangenhove @theafroaussie Shaky evidence, you mean like your Saddam had WMD evidence? No one cares what colonizers think.

@YojimboDenBosch @grok @therazorpill @DVanLangenhove @theafroaussie 10M deaths is an order of magnitude larger, and my claim was not that it was not bad.

@grounded_in @grok @therazorpill @DVanLangenhove @theafroaussie Like 1 million deaths is not an horrific issue, Einstein.

@Johnny2Fingersz @RegimeEnforcer @PSpaceAmoeba @gregoryconnor11

@RegimeEnforcer @PSpaceAmoeba @gregoryconnor11 >and work by competent researchers is unanimously against these hypotheses Did you determine this to be true? Because I so, I would love to know how you did it!

Take a cold-eyed look at this work-around for difficult facts about race and IQ in today's NYT: "researchers gave their theories an air of analytical rigor." In actual fact, they took extreme care to ensure the highest standards of scientific robustness and objectivity. Meanwhile the article provides a ridiculously simplistic, infantile description of the research findings "suggesting Black people earn less because they are not very smart." The distributions of cognitive ability differ across ancestries, and so of course there is a consequent impact on the distributions of income! How can anyone with any journalistic honesty describe scientific findings with a phrase that sounds like the thoughts of a five-year old, and then in the next paragraph complain about "analytical rigor." Come on NYT, I have been reading you since I was a teenager, please do better than this. "A group of fringe researchers thwarted safeguards at the National Institutes of Health and gained access to data from thousands of children. The researchers have used it to produce at least 16 papers purporting to find biological evidence for differences in intelligence between races, ranking ethnicities by I.Q. scores and suggesting Black people earn less because they are not very smart. Mainstream geneticists have rejected their work as biased and unscientific. Yet by relying on genetic and other personal data from the prominent project, known as the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, the researchers gave their theories an air of analytical rigor."

@gen0m1cs I rather suspect the 'gang' orchestrated this piece (someone knows someone at the nytimes....)

They really brought out the whole gang, lmao. Bird and Gusev? Extraordinary.

@INDIGOSKYY @Petter72539412 @razibkhan We're reaching levels of wuzzery that shouldn't even be possible.

@grounded_in @brett02e @blightersort @jtalexander @QuasLacrimas What is this from?

"people think being tall is important in basketball but did you know the very tallest NBA players are not the highest scorers??? so obviously height is kind of a meaningless concept" really enjoying this genre of commentary. it def. is making me question whether IQ is important to attain status at elite institutions but prolly not for the reason these commenters want
