Few things are worse than an ill-founded critique of a flawed theory

IMO gold is a HUGE signal that you at minimum have 3-4 SD intelligence plus significant creativity plus the effort to acquire skills and knowledge. The training is just a requirement, but isn't as much noise as Mr. Bessis is arguing. He argues that IQ is a purer signal. But IQ by itself is more of a predictor than a signal. You could have 160 IQ but be an illiterate meth head.

@phone3301 @WestsideLAGuy You can do this for AMC and AIME (I’m assuming you are American) but this technique is possible USAMO type questions? For AMC questions I know they recycle similar tricks year over year

@WestsideLAGuy I.e., you can improve your performance in math competitions even if you’re dumb by going through book exercises and past tests and memorizing things/special tricks. It’s not fully G-loaded.

Mathematical talent shows up early & doesn’t require money or resources. It’s the most foundational academic subject. The IMO is probably the purest measure of human intelligence at the high school level.

For every Math Olympiad team member, I'm curious how many kids are there with as much capability, but never had a chance to take advanced math, went to a school without a math/club team, never even knew doing harder math at their age was a possibility. Is it 10? 100?

@Linahuaa @davidbessis His point is that IMO test scores can be improved upon if you have certain training and experience. It’s hard to do but it’s not impossible. No one is born with an IMO score. Also the “call me smart” was an insult don’t play coy

@keynknig @davidbessis Yes, I did read what he wrote. What do you think I missed? And yes, I know who he is. A top 1-5% math researcher at his peak. Very good, but not quite world class. Very respectable. But what does it have to do with anything?

@Linahuaa @davidbessis So you literally did not read what he wrote. Plus he isn’t a person to scoff of lmfao maybe Google scholar this person.

IMO is a pure signal for intelligence, because even when you add all the training / coaching and whatever- it still requires immense intelligence + creativity. There's a reason why half of Field medalists have IMO gold and why top companies love IMO folks. Your whole argumentation has no real point. Which is why I conclude that what you actually wanted to say was: "Hey normies- I don't have IMO golds, but here's why you should still consider me smart!"

Capitalism is the funnel by which economic pressures push only the highest level human genetics to the next stage. “Cantillon, [who] seems, upon this account, to suppose that the lowest species of common labourers must everywhere earn at least double their own maintenance, in order that one with another they may be enabled to bring up two children; the labour of the wife, on account of her necessary attendance on the children, being supposed no more than sufficient to provide for herself. But one-half the children born, it is computed, die before the age of manhood. The poorest labourers, therefore, according to this account, must, one with another, attempt to rear at least four children, in order that two may have an equal chance of living to that age. But the necessary maintenance of four children, it is supposed, may be nearly equal to that of one man. The labour of an able-bodied slave, the same author adds, is computed to be worth double his maintenance; and that of the meanests, cannot be worth less than that of an able-bodied slave. Thus far at least it seems certain, that, in order to bring up a family, the labour of the husband and wife together must, even in the lowest species of common labour, be able to earn something more than what is precisely necessary for their own maintenance; but in what proportion, whether in that above mentioned, or in any other, I shall not take upon me to determine”

@sigmahamster2 Depends on what your interests are. Topics that are fun to read and get people emotional are the ethics of abortion, race-IQ, IQ-genetics or dating. These always get people passionate even if they know jack.

@iamnotamene No. It’s an interesting paper you should check out though. The critique is that there’s a double standard with respect to platonic vs non platonic relationship that is internally inconsistent upon further scrutiny. I’m not polyamorous to be clear.

The utilitarian thing to do, would to have the NIH allocate most of their funding to male pattern baldness research btw.
