17·25 days agoMost of America has no communities at all. It’s a bunch of strangers.
Sociocultural boundaries are almost entirely grounded in language. Nation states are almost entirely grounded in imagination.
Boomers are missing 800,000,000 IQ points as a consequence of lead poisoning.
Denying intellectual disparities denies the vulnerability of people with special needs, not to mention average folks who are constantly being deceived, swindled, manipulated, propagandized, and parasitized by the rich and powerful.
You don’t know people who are clearly dumb?
The average ACT score for college-bound seniors in Florida is 18. The test costs money, so they’re trying. It’s childishly easy. My cat, who is illiterate, can score almost as high (answering at random).
What kind of conversations can you have with folks who can’t do arithmetic or read simple sentences?
I want to stress that Americans, uniquely, are really weird about testing mental ability, because of their history of racism. Nevertheless, intelligence is a real phenomenon.
A high IQ doesn’t make you a good person, and it clearly has very little to do with accumulating wealth. But it does make life a hell of a lot easier. It enables you to do second order reasoning and engage in abstract deliberation, which is indispensable for ethics and science. Or do you think it’s a coincidence that average IQs rose 30 points in the last 100 years exactly in tandem with moral progress?
No clue why you’re being downvoted. Obama was a neoliberal who made a good faith effort, but intentions pale in the light of obvious moral ignorance. Imagine signing indefinite detention into law. Just imagine. What lunacy?
He sounds reasonable to me.
That’s the fun part: they were never ancaps at all! Even that incorrect conclusion would have required reading and curiosity.

Forum discussions about food are like a biochemist’s personal hell. No offense, but you’re all dumb as shit.
Why is everyone anti-science when it comes to nutrition? Sorry, but you’re just wrong, which I suppose isn’t too surprising when your reference is a three-decades old book written by a goofball non-scientist who knows about as much biochemistry as you do. None whatsoever.
Saturated fat is processed by the liver from Chylomicrons to VLDLs to LDLs in an incredibly taxing process directly responsible for fatty liver disease. No faster way to get diabetes than eating lots of saturated fat and sugar. Both are absolutely horrible and very poorly tolerated by humans, who are apes that evolved eating mostly plants. These are empirical facts. Stop treating food like a religion and just eat a fucking vegetable.
Found the Trump supporter.
