Average gay man looks sooo much better than average cis man, because he does female-level looksmaxxing.
Gay tech nerds wear suits not because they're pretentious or wanna show off.
They wear suits, cuz it looks BADASS and feels good.
The hoodie copers think they're so smart and unique for maxxing functionality.
But you sacrifice aesthetics aka AURA just for a tiny convenience gain. It's retarded low value move, man. The math simply doesn't math for hoodies.
Looks boosts confidence.
Confidence boosts aura.
Aura boosts mogging.

@GratesNuh @ImperiumFirst it’s plausible, but claiming median ~70IQ with his level of resources is just cartoonishly wrong & r*tarded.

@dummrs @ImperiumFirst What about the test in America and in Europe, you know, the whole standard deviation lower thing

@CheUnreleased he could probably suck dick in autotune and niggas would call him a pioneer for it

@hexumlite the funniest part is the ret4rded parents who genuinely believe vyvanse/dextro is “one gigantic leap” chemical compound away from meth when practically the only difference is potency level & you still get every negative outcome that comes with meth
English

I wish my parents weren't retarted. How the fuck did they get psyopped into putting a nigga on 70 mg vyvanse at 5 years old? Fucking retards man
In this video I rant about this, how stupid were our parents. Im genuinely curious. Couldve been way taller if i got better nutrition didnt fucking eat because of that shit Brain probably fucked up too
If you want more relatable rants follow kick: hexumlite

@AdinUpdate someone needs to inform TJR that the spictard skinhead look doesn’t suit him

@apralky the actual causal relationship is probably ~0.1 or some shit. that being said i know a couple titled (IM’s & GM’s) chess players who took WISC as kids or attempted CORE type online tests & basically none score <135. those tests usually have some PRI favouritism tho.

SBF’s League of Legends thing is actually pretty interesting.
We know that Sam played a lot of the game. Here’s a screenshot from 2021 showing ~800 games in a single season (one year), which is a lot, anecdotally speaking. Each game lasts about 45 minutes, so that’s roughly 2 hours a day, every day, for a year. Sam also used to tweet frequently about the game (including about how much he played).
Despite this, as you might be aware, he had an abysmally low ranking -- around mid-Bronze at the time. His username was known, so there’s not much uncertainty around this.
Mid-Bronze corresponds to being lower than about 75% of all ranked players (probably charitable) -- which includes many casuals, as well as plenty of children who play the game. It used to take, if I recall correctly, roughly 10 games to get ranked in a season. Sam had nearly a thousand.
So we know that Sam played a lot and seemed to care about getting better (direct quote: “I know I've said its name enough to imply I'm good at it, but I'm really not. It's actually embarrassing how little I've grown at it”.), but still fluctuated around the 25th percentile.
This is fairly surprising to me, because League is decently g-loaded, and all of his other credentials imply he has meaningfully high general intelligence (Jane Street, MIT physics/math, 99.5th percentile as a reasonable base case for consensus?)
If you’ve played the game, or MOBAs in general, you can probably tell that it’s decently g-loaded. The one peer-reviewed study that exists on this finds about a ~0.44 correlation between experienced League of Legends Elo and fluid intelligence (think matrix-based IQ tests).
Here are some comparables so you can intuit whether that’s meaningful:
> SAT ~0.82
> High school grades ~0.54
> Educational-context math achievement ~0.41
> Youth chess ~0.32
> Unranked chess ~0.32
> Ranked chess ~0.14
> Adult chess ~0.11
These numbers aren’t strictly comparable (different samples/corrections etc.), but they’re OK for intuition.
So intelligence is roughly as predictive of League rank as of classroom math achievement, and quite a bit more than in any mainstream chess sample. Now, this is just one study with a sample of 56, and we’re doing serious hand-waving, so maybe that estimate is a bit off, but let’s assume for now that it’s broadly right (it doesn’t *sound* very wrong).
What are the odds that someone with ~99.5th percentile fluid intelligence ends up at the 25th percentile in a game 0.44 correlated with fluid intelligence? With some naive assumptions -- roughly 2%. In that case, we should plausibly be able to find a non–cognitive-capacity source of the large residual, but I can’t really think of anything obvious. I think he played on the Japanese server, which would mean he’d have higher latency than normal, but I’ve played on comparable latencies and seen many do the same -- it usually doesn’t meaningfully move rank away from the normal counterfactual.
Set aside some of the statistics for a second and move away from precision -- given all the uncertainty -- and think of a hypothetical with comparable but more intuitive tasks with similar loadings. Imagine a future MIT/JS guy who perpetually ranks at the 25th percentile in his average high school math class despite putting in effort, or one who spends hundreds of hours a year on chess and still ranks in the bottom 25 percent of a cohort (which should be less surprising given the meaningfully lower loadings). How surprised would you be? Actually, very?
Maybe he had really bad motor skills? That seems unlikely for a trader, I’ve gotten tested on motor skills before in interviews. He seemed to consistently play only a few champions (characters), a lot of people underperform because they jump around too much, so that doesn’t explain it either. Some emotional/personality extremes, issues with frustration, etc.? Probably the most plausible ex post. But it would have to have been pretty bad -- the guy is bad at chess because he’s too emotional? That’s pretty bad. Something still feels off, and I assume we’re probably overweighing his g -- paired with tiger parent pedigree (2 Stanford Law profs, elite prep school) inflating the other meritocracy signals, this is probably a fair update.

Im not saying Jane Street are incapable of a sophisticated conspiracy, but their finest export managed to lose $8 billion and his only defence was "I was playing League of Legends at the time"
English

MVL mentioned a case in Australia: a 1600-1700 player winning every tournament he entered. He was physically searched and they found nothing, but the play was so suspicious it was hard to ignore.
They later saw he was doing a PhD in microchips. He was told to stop cheating, but they never actually found a device.
Point is: there are ways to cheat OTB and still bypass controls. Concerning times. Especially if someone has the money, resources, and motivation. And not everyone will be so obvious...

@justkeeden @DonHusomega @beyoncegarden No that’s why she purposely chose to anthropomorphise per se one option while isolating the other. It’s intentional virtue signalling even if it’s functionally the “same thing”.
English

@DonHusomega @beyoncegarden But that is a valid comparison. Because in the anti abortion group their viewpoint is the unborn fetus/zygote is more important than the life of the woman who is carrying the baby. Like it’s not that hard to understand.

this is one of the nastiest reads i’ve ever seen like she CLEARED her so bad omfg😭

@Gadget440 @C_S_Skeptic iirc he had a FIDE ID rated ~1850 likely from games played while he was young. you can probably find it somewhere if it’s still active. most his “indiana state championship” claims are obviously colossal bullshit tho

@QuintaviousBlu @Money1835325679 @chxnce LOL no. Europe has 3-5x more high-impact papers per capita than China.
& none of those stats are “cooked up”. your dumbass just failed history & clearly aren’t smart enough for STEM.
English

@linkego34 @QuintaviousBlu @chxnce nearly every modern conceptual development of STEM comes from Europe dumbass nigga😂 Renaissance, Scientific revolution, ~97% of modern invention. Just say you failed history retard
English

@dummrs @QuintaviousBlu @chxnce STEM is literally science technology engineering and math your comparison makes 0 sense because stem doesn’t belong to and wasn’t created by a group of people for said group of people like rap music was for black people keep tap dancing tho dumbass nigga
