Lunisolar faggotry.
Babylonians used intercallary days (monthless days) to make up for the discrepancy between lunar cycles and solar cycles.
Jews, and later the Romans, decided that was needlessly complicated and retarded so they shifted away from relying on moon phases for calendar days while keeping approximate month length.
>>
easy, romans are superstitious and prideful, 2 days were subtracted from their unluck month and added to july (caesar the great-uncle) and august (octavian) by octavian himself

Is it neccesary to do all the exercises or do i just do a few of them per sub section?

I'm a novice, so I'd like some perspective on this, not only from people who agree with this, but with people who disagree with this especially.
Is it possible we don't see evidence for Out-Breeding Depression in humans because modern medical intervention supersedes the consequences of Out-Breeding Depression, i.e. Asian Mothers with non Asian Fathers having a 33% higher rate of Caesarean birth, mostly due to skeletal mismatches between their Pelvic Bone and the Cranium Size of their children, an issue that in the natural world would likely result in reduced fertility within that demographic, but due to C-Sections this issue can be circumvented, and the genetic mismatch can continue to breed and spread, necessitating further dependence onto modern medicine in future generations.
Given the numerous racial distinctions:
>Fat distribution
>Muscle Anatomy
>Bone Mineralization, skeletal structure, skull shape
>Pore size
>Larynx and Speech comprehension genetics
Etc. Is it possible that more instance of out-breeding depression exist that are flying under the radar, and this is possibly one reason why the modern populations have so many health related issues?

*ahem*

without modern medical intervention involving immuno-suppressants, an RH blood type negative mother's body will always reject the fetus of a RH positive father, after the first time she carries an RH positive baby to term

the same thing does not happen with RH negative fathers and RH positive mothers

How can you become intelligent if you're low iq? All the specialists I've contacted say it's just effort and dedication, and you should become good through neuroplasticity... But there are others who say intelligence is mostly genetic, so I don't understand. There must be a way.

curiosity is important, you have to want to learn more. look at stupid people, they are content with what they know and don't care about learning anything new.
unless you have brain damage or mental retardation of some kind, no matter what your IQ, you can raise your intelligence
you have to want to understand more. find stuff you're fascinated with and try to learn everything you can about it. read studies and articles, if you encounter a word or concept you don't understand, stop and look it up

5-minute high-intensity planking sessions several times per day are a quick cure for depression, brainfog, and general sluggishness, and are also very brain-healthy, producing large amounts of BDNF which promotes neurogenesis and reverses brain deterioration. Best of all, it's free and can be done at any time without any equipment or even a lot of space. Just get on the floor and start some mountain climbers and planks, your future self will thank you!

>Is something that's already been proven true or not?
It's funny watching the anti-science, anti-God fools when they're faced with stuff that doesn't work with their state-funded religion and creation myth, and watching them adapt and change their ever-changing state religion's creation mythology then pretending that new theory or adaptation was always what they believed and taught (or they outright deny whatever disproves their creation myth until they have some way to explain it away, if they ever address it (which they usually don't)). They've been doing it for decades, centuries even. I still haven't heard a good excuse from them to explain away soft tissue found in dinosaur fossils laid down by the flood, especially when they claim fossils are formed over long periods of time and not by rapid burial (like the fossilized foot in a cowboy boot).

Feel about the increasing amount of pressure being put on the theory? Controlling for ancestry shows that latitude only results in introversion, not intelligence, and ancient genomes(see picrel) show that euroid hunter-gatherers were likely just a smidge smarter than african hunter-gatherers, while east asian hunter-gatherers were simultaneously nearing contemporary world-average intelligence and related traits.

If you ask me, IQ differences among humans seem most due to genetic bottlenecks and self-domestication.
