What's some good reading materials on the topic of race and IQ?Both sides of the debate are welcome but I personally am looking for stuff that kinda debunks racist viewsI also want to ask what the deal is with smoke alarms beeping in black homesSurely that can't be an issue with intellect since you can just google how to replace a fucking battery
>>16853271Look, I can listen to an interview of the blackest of black people, rappers and whatnot, and really respect the person. Like, I appreciate the person's insight, their social skills, their business hustle. But, it is ultimately true, that from an academic or IQ perspective, black and other people are not as "book smart" as whites or Asians or whatever. I don't think it's the end of the world, but not acknowledging these differences is ultimately bad for science and all things similar. I would rather talk to and have a few drinks with a hood person (black or otherwise) than a neoliberal white that just ignores basic reality. I don't think certain minorities would be against admitting that they are not that smart, so long as they had the same civil rights, which, for the purposes of Western societies, they do.
>>16872912I'm Black and I got a score of pic related on openpsychometric's IQ test. I don't feel particularly smart. Most rappers are criminals and I wouldn't want them representing any group of people.
>>16872914>(You) responder here. I understand the concept of outliers. These things might come from environment, but, based on earlier replies on here, it seems like environment is less of a factor than genetics. My main point was that you shouldn't denigrate people for being more or less smart than another, but I ultimately believe that certain normal distributions of race by intelligence are true. If you are actually black and are a 137 IQ person or whatever, good for you. But, I think ignoring averages about these things from the perspective of a normal distribution are destructive. Society is designed for the median.
>>16872922I don't feel like an outlier though. My brothers are are as smart as me, maybe even smarter.
>>16872933Hey, man, good for you. If you can successfully dismantle 60 years of affirmative action and becoming a rocket scientist or brain surgeon, I will root for you. I, unfortunately, do not think that such things are amelioratable in light of neoliberalism.
Why can't mathematicians, after 2000 years of mathing, find out if 0.999... = 1?
>>16871170It's a part of the definitions to what a number isIt isn't actually about numbers
isn't it something like this?
>>168728810.999... means the smallest upper bound on the terminating decimals {0.9, 0.99, 0.999, ...}, which your picture correctly identifies as 1.
>>16872901its not 1. 0.999 starts with a 0 1 starts with a 1 so they cannot be the same number retard
>>16872910Numbers aren't just meaningless strings of digits. That string of digits, called a numeral, is a name for a point on the number line. There can be multiple ways to name the same point.
are we supposed to believe that we can move atoms around like they are fucking marbles?
>>16872862you sound so sure of yourself you useless fuck
>>16872870they're actually lying there.they were not moving atoms, but carbon monoxide molecules on a copper substrate.the oxygen atoms are visible in the film, so the dots in the film do correspond to individual atoms, but they did in fact not move the individual atoms, but molecules consisting of 2 atoms.maybe carbon is easier to grab because it's a bigger atom, or because it has more free electron bonds than oxygen?all of this comes from the wikipedia article about a boy and his atom, and i assume it's more accurate than the movie's intro text, because there are little numbers in brackets after each claim. that's how you know it's a good article.
>>16872862You know you can literally watch the video on YouTube?https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=oSCX78-8-q0Or read the Wikipedia article?https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Boy_and_His_Atom>but it's actually carbon monoxide molecules!The carbon is bound to the substrate. The visible portion in the video is just an oxygen atom.
>>16872851yeah that’s easy to observe with marbles lol

I'll give you a free (you) if you can come up with a math puzzle that an average college grad with a math degree can solve within 15 minutes, but the top AIs cannot (gemini-3-pro, gpt-5-high [1] ). No images. No spelling gotchas. Normal math that would be appropriate for a textbook.You can run these models for free on https://lmarena.ai (choose "Direct Chat") Post a screenshot of these models failing if you can come up with such a puzzle.[1] Seems to be smarter than gpt-5.2-high
>>16872399He saw the writing on the wall and prioritized his exit. Smart guy. Less smart PhDs will spend years doing postdocs (minimum wage) and when AI eclipses them, losing even that.
>>16872404>prioritized his exitWhat "exit"? How does a nigger exit something he never entered in the first place?
>>16872440He exited (logic) academia. Re-read his reddit comment. You enter academia when you join a PhD program. You don't need pubs, normally.

Like orcas for example, orcas are viscious psychopathic hunters but never attack humans in the wild. Orcas have high intelligence yes, but I know there's other examples too, like Polar Bears are the only species that actively hunt humans, and lions are naturally scared of humans. How does something like that happen? I get the logic that all the brazen animals who approaches humans gets killed, therefore only the animals who are wary of humans survive, but do they really "teach" their offspring that, or is it something inherent biologicially? Just a question I was thinking about. How does evolution work in the way that it makes certain species wary of other species?
>>16872244joe rogan says its because we stink
>>16872254then they would have been exposed by modern techs
Also a 1,80m human with a Stick in his hand does not look like an easy target, and humans are usually in groups.If you are alone and meet a pack of lions i'd doubt your chances..
>>16872244survival.
>>16872254That would make Orcas even smarter than we thought
Don't give out advice, don't reply to the schizofag... unless you're bored.
>>16872296I don't drink or smoke, I exercise regularly (+ not fat/overweight), my diet is pretty good. I don't think it's stress related. I still think it's an infection because of the above, and the symptoms (weight loss, diarrhoea, fever, consistent nausea, etc) rather than just a general gastrointestinal issue because I've never had anything like that before, and there's no family history of issues there. If it was something viral or something small like an ulcer I think it would have gone away by now- I've been on PPIs for 2 months which made me feel slightly better but feel like they haven't really cured anything. I'm looking at getting an endoscopy but that's going to be at least a month away.
>>16872236A bad economy still affects physicians, it means jobs are harder to come by and nonexistent wage growth. The VA just laid off thousands of docs last week and some friends I know at CHCs got dumped because of federal grants getting nuked
If locking up a person and forcibly drugging them is so great for their mental health, why don't we do it to psychiatrists? By their own logic, it would improve their mental health. Therefore they should have no grounds whatsoever on which to oppose this. In fact, if they do oppose being forcibly drugged, then it's simply because they lack "insight".If they do voice any objections, who cares. Patients' objections don't get heard, so psychiatrists objections shouldn't get heard either. Lock up every single psychiatrist for at least a year and drug them consistently with antipsychotics. Only then should they be allowed to do the same to others.https://publichealth.realclearjournals.org/perspectives/2025/01/forced-treatment-in-psychiatry-is-a-crime-against-humanity/

Will human female breasts keep getting bigger?Is it possible we'll have a runaway effect to the point it will become unsustainable like with those animals going extinct due to growing too large horns and tails etc.?
>>168707704 is clearly the best. Big breasts, blonde and blue eyed, almost perfect body. Whats not to love?
>>168707704>3>1>2I will conceit that 3 looks a bit retardio, but she's the only one with appropriately shaped curves.2 has nothing to her, maybe apart from being 5cm taller than the others for what it's worth. But you don't even see her face. What you see it not great. The curly hair is not great.One wouldn't want either, but if you gotta fuck one, it's the one with giant melons just for having fun.

why do particles behave differently when not observed?
>>16868549I think it's because observing devices like eyes or cameras absorb the wave aspect of the photon
If we live in a simulation then it could be a way to spare system resources with both unrendered geometry and foveated rendering.If you look directly at your screen in front of you everything is blurred around it. And you have no way of knowing if everything behind you is unrendered, just like in a video game.https://youtu.be/NPK8eQ4o8Pk
>>16871745This is actually a pretty good pointThat makes me wonder whether panpsychism has more merit than I thought NTA
>>16868549Wave particle duality is an example of the converse error fallacy: waves -> wave-like pattern => wave-like pattern -> waves. Physicists are that stupid.
