I hope so. Can you imagine the relief when the world finally ditches JS? I hope I live long enough to see that.

@Justicar

I don't set much store by IQ tests, despite scoring highly myself.

The real proof of any civilization's intelligence will always be found in the collective fruits of their labor - their cities, technology, art, philosophy, religion - not in an IQ score.

They are entering into a period of flourishing, and we will only be able to truly answer this in another 50 years or so.

I think people 50 years from now will look at your assertion that the Chinese are not high IQ and laugh.

@Justicar

Again, I refer to the fact of being able to run a city of 1 million people over 2000 years ago.

I can think of no greater practical proof. It requires architecture, engineering, construction, sewage control, water management, food import, codified law, policing & defense, and a shared virtue ethic that unites the populace.

You can't fake that. Rome also required high IQ, it's not a fluke.

Current day? We simply don't have accurate knowledge about their current capability (cont..)

@RoninGrey

Every word out of his mouth is a lie.

@Justicar

Your perception of China is likely distorted by their "century of humiliation", from 1839-1945, followed immediately by the absolute disaster of Communism.

But during the same era as Rome under the Republic (~ 200 BC onwards), both civilizations were the 1st to successfully run cities of 1 million inhabitants. Rome 1st, Han Dynasty 2nd.

That's incredibly difficult and is impossible to achieve by low IQ idiots. Britain achieved that in the early 1800's.

@Justicar

Hence Typescript. It's the only decent attempt at taming the insanity.

@DoubleD @ToyotaTime @Zeb

Thank you, that was well said.

@Justicar

That's also always been my opinion, and logically there's no escaping this conclusion.

The innocents however are a different matter.

She's a dead ringer for Sansa Stark from Game of Thrones

@VeganMGTOW @ToyotaTime @Zeb

You sound like a whole retard.
Learn how to spell and construct coherent sentences.

@Mommy

It's pretty good, takes a darker turn than previous seasons.

Dandadan's been funny-ish. Best new anime this fall season has been "Maou 2099"

@Mommy

Ah, so you also watch "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?"

Loving Season 5 so far, poor Hestia.

@ToyotaTime

Always best to keep those plans on the shelf in reach, you never know.

@ToyotaTime @Zeb

Exactly so.

This issue split families down the middle more than anything, more than Trump.

In theory I'm all for the weak, easily-led, and prideful people to take themselves out, but some of those people are family, and for some, it has been children who had no choice.

It's been a bitter pill for many and I'm still plenty mad tbh.

@Mommy

It's a hell of a test to fail, that's for sure.

A reminder that vaxx excess deaths are still going full pace.

@Wopu

Just think of the compile speeds ..

@Mommy

Nice! Really pleased for you brother.

@Mommy

Yup, that's the one.
