In the current news climate we see that some figures and events tend to dominate the front-pages heavily. Still, there a
You've already had too many Geniuseseses by the looks of it.
But with the shape England are in I'll let you off.
The feeling is that with the injuries the Aussies have if England are going to make a proper charge at the Ashes they probably have to win this one, and this isn't the best start.

One of the biggest predictors of IQ is GDP per capita
That paper only presents associations, so it neither makes the claim that GDP predicts IQ or IQ predicts GDP.
And anyway, IQ tests are only really useful for within population comparisons, not between populations.
Basically it came out that Riley Gaines and Paula Scanton are being paid by billionaire benefactors to lie about their experiences with Lia Thomas.
Pretty pathetic

They address population comparisons and while it’s true they didn’t state gdp predicts IQ it really doesn’t matter. If IQ of populations can move 15-20 points in decades then the main drive is clearly not genetic

I looked up what you were talking about and it doesn't seem particularly noteworthy to me. Young person begins dabbling in the right-wing (or left wing) derposhere, becomes a darling of that derposphere, becomes more extreme in an attempt to climb even higher in that derposphere, and then starts doing engagements and appearances funded by that derposphere, is a story as old as social media.
How did you do on the LSAT?
I thought people might be interested in the attached article, which deals with the subjective confidence of people who oppose scientific consensus:
https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/scia...
Here is another article that summarizes the findings:
Thus Light, Fernbach, Geana and Sloman do something clever. They ask respondents a series of questions on uncontroversial scientific topics. Questions such as:
1. True or false? The center of the earth is very hot: True
2. True or false? The continents have been moving their location for millions of years and will continue to move. True
3. True or false? The oxygen we breathe comes from plants: True
4. True or false? Antibiotics kills viruses as well as bacteria: False
5. True or false? All insects have eight legs: False
6. True or false? All radioactivity is man made: False
7. True or false? Men and women normally have the same number of chromosomes: True
8. True or false? Lasers work by focusing sound waves: False
9. True or false? Almost all food energy for living organisms comes originally from sunlight: True
10. True or false? Electrons are smaller than atoms: True
The authors then correlate respondents’ scores on the objective (uncontroversial) knowledge with their opposition to the scientific consensus on topics like vaccination, nuclear power, and homeopathy. The result is striking: people who are most opposed to the consensus (7, the far right of the horizontal axis in the figure below) score lower on objective knowledge but express higher subjective confidence. In other words, anti-consensus respondents are the most confidently wrong—the gap between what they know and what they think they know is widest.

I'm not sure where the flat earthers have proved the center is but i'm confident it's not very hot there.
Electron size is a bit philosophical
9 is just false. Originally it comes from before the sun even existed

I don't understand this comment.
Electron size is a bit philosophical
I guess this statement would have been clearer if framed in terms of mass rather than size.
9 is just false. Originally it comes from before the sun even existed
Very few people would read that statement in the way you are reading it.

Its basically the confirmation of everything people like me argued towards for months and months and months so of course it matters more to me than you
Verifiable that the entire anti trans movement is made up and hypocritical

It isn't a question of whether the progression I described is good or bad. It's bad. My point is that it is both bad and extremely common.
They have to offer me something worthwhile like a qualification if they want the answer they want rather than the correct one to the question. I'm not explaining my joke about the center of the earth, I could also nit about Q6.
I once took that test where they offer you two sweets later or one now. They never seem to to grasp my point (even though I had just demonstrated it) that I could take the one now and still get another one+ later.
I guess you were just making a joke that that was premised on the fiction that flat earth is the scientific consensus. I understand that flat earthers, by definition, don't believe there is a core in the middle of a sphere.
I'm not sure but we're the question about what the scientific consensus was or were they just scientificaly uncontroversial questions
Even a rabid flat earther could correctly answer about the scientific consensus

Did y'all know that the Flat Earth Society has members all around the globe?
Article in the latest issue of Mother Jones.
Geezer posted the article, this is a long video
Basically:
Gaines initially blamed NCAA for their rules being unfair
Outside sources begin pushing this "trans athletes are sexual abusers" narrative
Gains starts to push the "trans athletes are sexual abusers" narrative
Rhetoric begins to shift from "trans athletes have an unfair advantage" to "trans athletes are criminal sexual predators"
This coincides with ever-increasing speaking fees and salary
Gains "best friend" and former coach is credibly accused and punished for sexual assault
Gains refuses to talk about predatory coaches while continuing to push the "trans athletes are criminal sexual predators" narrative
If it were about protecting women in sports certainly they would want to address the verified largest threat to female athletes in their coaches and doctors being horrific predators and not the completely made up narrative of trans athletes but obviously that isn't what has happened or is happening
And of course there is the ancillary point around the hypocrisy of supporting Trump, a convicted sexual abuser, who has stated that he enjoyed walking into female changing rooms and sexually abusing women in general, while claiming to be about protecting women
Or the administrations refusal to engage with the Epstein situation while those victims are speaking out
Thanks to you both I'll check them out
