>Contrary to our prediction that women would prefer more intelligent men
How deeply brainwashed by feminism do you have to be to make that prediction? Who ever actually believed women who said "I just want a nice guy who is smart and funny"? Women don't give a shit about any of that, they want a dominant, cool man who fucks her rough.
>Some of the authors of the study are women
Kek, I wonder if they pretended to be surprised by this.
>>17006585
No, it still makes them less attractive. Take two guys of equal attractiveness and women will reject a genius nice guy in favor of a midwit asshole. This used to be widely known by all men, but somehow feminists shamed men into pretending otherwise
>>
>>17006489
If you're smart enough to be witty and clever then that's attractive, that's basically the extent of the attraction to intelligence

Don't know about China but South Korea went autistic at the government level to pull themselves out of third world status through STEM.
>"Think about what happen in Brazil. Decades ago it decided to become the best in the world. Scouts scoured each and every village to find the most talented kids. It did not matter if they were rich or poor, black, brown, or white, lived in a village or a big city, had powerful parents or were orphans. If they were good, they were supported, mentored, tracked and trained. And eventually, the country won. Time and again ... Until there was no doubt they were the best. Brazil beat the world five times. The tragedy is that Brazil chose to do this in soccer....Meanwhile, South Korea chose to do exactly the same thing ... in math and science. Very different outcomes."
South Korea used to be below Brazil on almost every development metric. Now they've left most of their former peers in the dust.

Life is about orb. Its all about chasing the orb. From the moment you opened your eyes and mind. The orb is always the one you seek. The orb in you, the orb in other. The orb in trees. The orb in cars. The orb in the sun. The orb of the universe. The orb of language. The orb of math.

Life is about chasing the orb. And our inability to understand that there are no orbs

In my experience neurogeneticists at least tend to be right wing.
>>
If the right wing could abandon certain kinds of retardation like attempting to force young earth creationism into high schools then things would look very different.
I’d also like to note that proportion of donations should not be presumed to equal proportion of people within that field that share those beliefs, as should be obvious. I’d also note that certain fields seem deliberately missing from the above graph, like dentists who very much lean right wing

Most professors I interact with aren't American. I am the only American faculty member in my department. Many of our scientists even at adjacent national labs are also foreigners. I've worked with near illiterate bangladesh nationals on H1B working for the DoD in scientist and GS-1500 math/quantitative positions somehow, but the American students I recommend do not get hired. Most of these academic and research scientist positions are federally funded and have no financial support thread to right wing political support outside of the military section which is being compromised.
The person who made this image is also losing the plot. The here level positions are distillation of the cumulative work and progress generated by the hard working laborers and tradesmen that made it possible.

>people 50 layers abstracted from the real world have the privilege to have luxury beliefs.

Yeah, no shit. If you're a local electrician, and you've seen your entire community change into a third-world shithole over-night via immigration, you'll probably be less enthusiastic about it than a some fucking nepo baby who got into science, and doesn't have to worry about his local community because he doesn't believe in anything other than materialism.

Graph theory reasons about the structure of things that are somehow connected (or not).

Example: Intersections can be connected by roads forming a road network. Using graph theory you can find out how to get from one point to another through as little intersections as possible.

Internet is a graph, your facebook friends form a graph, almost everythibg can be represented as a graph in one way or another.

This project is about thoughts connected by replies. Thoughts that reply to one another mutually attract and thus clusters form around topics, ideas or conversations.

Where can I find a real, working Chronovisor on the Dark Web? You know what they say, "you can find anything on the Dark Web, anything at all" so why not this as well?

Because imagine how sick it would be to finally know what dinosaurs actually looked like, how ancient Greek Pankration actually moved like, what Chopin's own piano playing actually SOUNDED like and more? That's what I would like to find out if I had a Chronovisor. So where can I find one?

I imagined it as if the square were made up of two wide white screens, with a black block fully taking up the bottom screen to begin with. Then the block moves left, and as it moves left the end that goes over the edge reappears in the upper right of the top screen. And it keeps going until it takes up the entire top screen, leaving the bottom screen blank. While this is happening, the screen also rotates 90 degrees clockwise in each frame, so it ends up back where it started in the last frame.

Precisely because it is an observation of nature, but outside the scientific paradigm. So you can shit on your own tits and be a materialist, but I could say to you "I am also a materialist...and these, my friendo, are materialistic observations".
How dumb must scientists be? All I did was take the cock that was given to me.
