I didn’t say ‘go out and socialize’ as a blueprint for meeting women. I said ‘go out and socialize’ because social skills are important and take work to build up. Yes, swing dancing will get you closer to your goal of female companionship slightly faster, but MMA is likely still progress in that direction.

I got 49% German(I'd always thought myself culturally Francified, if anything) and 24% autistic. I've never thought of myself as autistic and find the modern mania for diagnosing every difficulty irritating and off putting for those who genuinely could help themselves, and possibly offensive for those with special needs.

It ought to be a truth universally acknowledged- although of course it isn't- that those who have lots of boy/girl friends are for the most part those possessing of the necessary sanguinity in temperament to generally attain to a high degree of success in all of the more ordinary tasks of social intercourse besides, and that these must be acknowledged as more desirable for all the normal reasons. It furthermore ought- although it often isn't- to be acknowledged that these chaste virgins sitting on the sidelines do not particularly want to date and marry Clav, their Mr Darcy may bear physical resemblance to him but is entirely unlike him in other ways.
But all that being said, there really is a large premium for social skills paid in all social tasks, including the mating game. To the sexually frustrated men reading this- go out and socialize. That alone explains a huge portion of this gap- do you think Justinian found Theodora's sexual history incredibly appealing, or Pericles Aspasia's, or Napoleon Josephine's? No, they wanted someone they could interact with as a friend rather than the stereotypical prissy upper-class wife of the day.

I mean mormon nepotism is well known. But why would we assume a higher percentage of IEP's? The mormon advantage isn't all HBD, lots of it is culture.

Siberian huskies are immediately distinguishable from wolves- for one thing they're half the size- and most other northern spitzes are also easy to tell apart. They also interact with humans very differently(I had a cousin with pet wolves growing up, and a different one who had Alaskan malamutes), even aside from aggression. These are very different things and it is not difficult to tell them apart, despite some superficial similarities.

Was The Snatch not a big hit in the US?
I've certainly never heard of it.
Is this a counterexample to the HBD argument?
Russia itself is a counterexample to the HBD argument. Incompetent corrupt oligarchy running a shithole for average people that's slightly poorer than Mexico- despite being fairly good at G-loaded tasks like chess grandmasters and advancing higher mathematics.

Yeah, the guys working on robots in the real world were mostly diesel mechanics or HVAC techs or generator guys whose brother in law mentioned someone who was hiring over an NFL game, and who don't know what 'python' is('update the software' is treated as a mechanical repair and what it actually means is a question for tech support, which doesn't know either and suggests it when everything is working except the machine).

I highly doubt that the traveler population has a lower genetic IQ due to evaporative cooling than the native working class of Ireland(which has probably suffered stronger genetic selection by evaporative cooling), and which is not nearly so overrepresented among the prison population. Some cultures are just bad, like this one. The Roma are far less welcomed in Europe than similar IQ Mexicans are in the US- because Mexicans believe in paying their bills through honest work(and then drinking themselves stupid and blaring their polka beats at 2 AM while being incapable of recognizing that requests to turn the volume down aren't requests for an invitation to join the party), while Roma have a culture of stealing and swindling their way into the money to pay their bills with, and then doing the strung out loud noises thing anyways.

Perhaps this response is even dumber, but adolescent breast cancer/reductions due to overactive puberty or whatever, while rare, is not a new thing the way trans mostly is, so we should be able to compare baseline numbers by averaging pre-2007 statistics?

Pouncing on the next chapter of Man Eaters of Kumaon for myself and reading Rikki-Tikki-Tavi to the boy.

To be fair, a lot of associates degrees are vocational studies which actually teach something specific, it just doesn’t happen to be math.

Actual apprenticeship programs tend to have strict drug testing policies because it’s a cheap way of filtering out many of the worst employees.

Indeed, the historical norm for settled, agricultural societies is that the elderly have everything and the young work for them. We do not see youth complaints much from before 1900, but there is evidence in the sources indicating that the Greeks and Romans were very concerned about managing it.

It’s true that lifespans have risen due to medical technology, but it seems that maximal lifespans have not, you just don’t need as much good luck to reach them.

Ok, thé Clinton admin had a lot of basic competence at politics- but it was also 30 years ago. This guy could easily be experiencing age related decline, which coupled with the democrat party’s political correctness demands makes a ‘good’ report harder to come by.

The right is genuinely much more willing to evaluate people as individuals or members of small groups while the left is much more willing to generalize. Treating people as individuals doesn’t necessarily correspond to granting unlimited freedom.

Yes, what the GOP has is a single woman deficit, married women vote about like their husbands. But you kinda knew that’s what 2rafa meant, didn’t you? The based ewhore got her followers by seeming sexually available, up until she had a kid with Elon musk.

Being too close to a cop will get you filtered out of a jury. Juries are mostly teachers and retirees.

It's actually extremely lindy to have public officials abusing their positions face harsh personal consequences(often things we're not going to do today, like execution by torture or family enslavement).
Now, in our system, this rule would inevitably be abused by individuals who either have too much time on their hands or are dedicated to some variety of minor crime crankery to harass officials that are Just Doing Their Jobs, and we probably don't want to start punishing people making complaints about public servants. The solution would have to look more like internal affairs than like lawsuits. And Internal Affairs would inevitably also be biased.
Yes, Russia obviously is capable of doing things that require a lot of thinking- but it can’t translate that into running a country that’s a nice place to live in.
