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.

it’s funny how often the democratic party gets lumped in with “the left” because as far as I can tell they literally *hate* the left

@GarrettPetersen It isn't really true either way because if only 115+ IQ people (or whatever it is) vote, both parties fundamentally change

@tracewoodgrains "T" also? I took from this yesterday that you were still on the fence about that x.com/i/status/20489…
Jack@tracewoodgrains

I come onto Twitter to have fun. Sometimes, I'll post about a specific subtopic where I have a settled opinion as a way of working out my broader thoughts on a more general topic, and someone who's made a brand out of being a culture warrior on the larger topic will want to interrogate every aspect of that topic in a hostile way. And then, when I get bored of the conversation, they'll keep tagging me into more threads and keep adding examples to the same thread while saying surely I just know I'm defending the indefensible and should come to their side of the topic. That is not fun. On trans issues in specific: I think slowly on this topic, and write updates when I have them. I find most conversations around the topic draining, because a lot of people care hugely about it and will repeatedly shout down and look for the worst available readings of anyone who disagrees, while brandishing full rolodexes of decades of grievances. I am not going to lay out a comprehensive, rigorous argument for a framework I am not fully settled on in response to a comments section cross-examination. When I have more to say, I say it. To those of you On Here who come in looking for fistfights and who don't want to take "eh, this isn't really my thing" for an answer, I wish you well and hope you find the brawls you're looking for, but if you'd like to hash things out with me, at least make it fun.

We need a crash effort to cure sleep. It’s appalling that we have to waste a third of our life insensate. If we were able to cut everyone’s sleep from 8 to 4 hours a night, this would be the equivalent of raising life expectancy from 80 to 100!

A lot of my fellow red buttoners were whining that the blues were just dumb virtue signalers, but if you still vote red here, then you simply are not virtuous. Ain’t no signaling about it. Whether it be courage, kindness, trust, or wisdom, it is evident that you are lacking.
Jack@tracewoodgrains

You see a blue button and a red button on a cage with ten people in it. Everyone in the world must press a button. If you press the red button, you live. If less than 50% of people press blue buttons, all blues die, alongside all ten people in the cage. Which button?

Applying this kind of language—and I'm also referring to the people saying "akshually the MUSLIMS were colonizing!!!"—to Medieval times or antiquity makes you a bug. You are a mind slave. You have never had a meritorious thought in your entire life

@Channel4News The Crusades were a despicable and murderous act of colonialism. Not something to put on your resumee.

It's funny that you got four opinions from disenchanted Trump voters on the Iran War, two of whom said Iran was one of the things they still agreed with him on, and two of whom (both Latino men) are extremely conspiratorially anti-Israel.

@MeltingSnowBro Your broader point is correct but A) These are Ashkenazi Haredim, not Mizrahim B) He isn't covering it up for sabbath, he's covering it up because extreme enough Haredim are super opposed to viewing any secular content, especially with immodestly dressed women

@DerekPederson3 I agree with most, though not all of these. I'm curious about your Fuentes take though. I think calling him gay is mostly a troll, but why would you definitively say it isn't true?

@05HAWKI Correct. That is extraordinarily different from the claim that bullets "disappear"
