I wonder what the security will be like tonight at the Chinese restaurants near the Jewish neighborhood?

Common sense solution to actual domestic violence.

Who's that guy with the pink-haired waifu on his pfp? I don't remember and can't find him. Who's that in his profile pic?

Exactly. Most of the eastern countries straight up cheat on their tests and only the affluent online are either allowed or incentivized to take such IQ tests.

In Japan the same, they only give incentives to the smart people to do these tests: their social pressure to outperform others is very strong and dissuade the general population from participating.

Overall, I find it interesting that the affluent around the world fall within the same deviation range.

@shortstories @Zeb @sardonicsmile

I believe this as well, having lived in Japan (not in China) but I have seen what a far eastern society is like, I am very confident that the numbers are fake, for two reasons, the first is that older IQ estimates were made indirectly based on things like industrial development, rule-following, etc. which correlate very imperfectly with general intelligence, basically very bad estimates based on bad data, reason number two, far east societies care about projecting an image of being better than they are above all else and they have no moral qualms with falsifying information, truth-seeking is not their priority at all.

I think if you look at it with a critical look, it is obvious that societies where most people are older, coming from an era of poverty, most are farmers or descendents of farmers, many old people are very short because they didnt have good nutrition growing up, etc.

It is impossible that they would have an average IQ in the three digits, it cannot be.

Also my personal experience is that they are not more intelligent than the average European, and most European countries are somewhere in the 90s range.

I am interjecting because I very much agree with your post, but I haven't read the whole thread.

@sardonicsmile
Every value is incorrect, but it does paint an interesting picture of the situation.

I say this because of the methodology: the IQ test was voluntary, the location self-informed and most important: ONLINE. Only people who accessed the website in 2024 participate. This is clearly not representative of anyone's population.
Also, was the website in English or was it translated to the local language?

Basically, the sample is too small, biased and limited.

@bajax @waifu weird slight, also how does he have ghetto charisma, he is a middle class white kid who went to art school and lived with his single mom until sometime in his twenties, then made hollywood money, then made internet money.

Also his entire "talent" is just doing an exaggerated imitation of people he dislikes then laughing at his own joke

Government sometimes highlights text black in modern redacted files so you can copy and paste special in plain text to read it

This should not work for papers that were covered in black ink and then scanned

Dear God, please deliver me from the relatives that grab my attention and try and force me to look at all the pictures they have in their phones. May they be suddenly blessed with the ability to read basic non verbal cues and human decency, Amen

@sardonicsmile

Those men in the second group would normally be killed by stupid decisions they make but due to various taxpayer sponsored programs that shorten the average life span of the first group the average life span of the second group has increased

Injure yourself in a stupid accident or a gang war and the first group will pay taxes not for their own medical care but for your medical care

Misuse your time and money and the first group will pay taxes for your food

job prefences also
