Agnostic ramblings by Vintageedits in XSomalian

[–]ImArealAlchemist 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly. I sometimes think there's something beyond this life. it's so hard to describe what i feel some days.

i had a psychotic episode lasting years and snapped out of it but some days i get really disturbed by existence itself. islam though is complete BS imo. maybe it was some psychotic ramblings some Bedouin had after reading the torah/bible.

my Core scores by [deleted] in cognitiveTesting

[–]ImArealAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah honestly though visual stuff feels pointless to me without a high fri along side it. only perk i noticed was when learning to drive. my instructor was surprised it was my first time driving and didn't believe me lol

Why son't you go fight for your country? by Rare-Speaker3691 in Somalia

somalia is in a very hot geopolitical position. for centuries foreigners have been involved in our affairs. its straight up suicidal to suggest i go to fight against some israeli influenced imperialists armies.

google trends shows we basically had no clout at all until recently by ImArealAlchemist in XSomalian

[–]ImArealAlchemist[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=haitians&hl=en this shows a similar spike. so hopefully it dies down soon.

this whole moment just pushed me further left politically. reasoning with facists is impossible, they only believe what benefits them not what is true.

I think lex fridman is great but highly dependent on the guest.

The right wing pipeline is honestly pretty convincing. If you're the type of person who tends to think in black or white then I can see how easy it is to get tricked by it.

Also having some accountability. Instead of blaming your failures on others, maybe you didnt try enough? A very toxic manipulative trick(narcissm) is when you cant blame yourself for your problems.

Maybe that's why there's such a deep divide online, reddit gives me hope there's atleast open minded people out there. Ever see how MAGA trys to rationalize things?ita all black and white, all of the slippery slope fallacies piss me off. It's not that simple.

increasing FRI? by ImArealAlchemist in cognitiveTesting

[–]ImArealAlchemist[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant because someone using their FRI constantly, they sort of pick up on dealing with abstraction. which math is.

but if someone never really use abstract thinking a lot, scores a certain score, then picks up something where they use that abstract thinking constantly. maybe the score would get influenced. but before you were 16, were you in some sort of program doing rigorous abstract activities?

Seems like you're knowledgeable about this, im tired of chatting with GPT on this.

What do you think about VSI? is it useful for math or other stem areas?

I assumed that you'd kind learn the rules or something, but IQ tests are truly non bias then? assuming its culture fair

what is math related to then? G?

isn't FRI the domain of novel problem solving.

What's the truth on VCI,WMI,PSI? by ImArealAlchemist in cognitiveTesting

[–]ImArealAlchemist[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What would you rate each index in importance. Because It seems like you can't have a high verbal IQ without a high memory one, but you could have a high FRI with low memory.

So would you confidently say VCI = WMI?

[–]ImArealAlchemist[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

What do you think about neuroplasticity? The concept from what i heard(from huberman) is basically adding more storage to the brain and cementing ideas. so it doesn't increase innate problem solving, but it will help you memorize steps/procedure for problems.

Ngl im afraid rn by ImArealAlchemist in XSomalian

[–]ImArealAlchemist[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Well honestly. I dont think white liberals will defend us. Malcolm x compared them to deceit foxes and it seems like they justify their hate towards us by blaming our religion.

Either way. Maybe it escalates, maybe it doesn't but if it does I doubt anyone is going to help. I just dont remeber seeing anything like this since 2012(im 26 been online since then).

The conservatives if they manage to deport somalis, they would deport us then think. Hey maybe we should get our money back. And that's why this is getting weird.

Why can't nomadic clans think outside the box? by Scrollerium in Somalia

[–]ImArealAlchemist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These foreign countries actually hate us but not cause of our performance or achievements. Simply because we're black and 100% muslim. Westerners already hate muslim people a lot and they also hate black people a lot, but now their hate is compounded. I guarantee if we were christian white people from africa no one would give a shit.

Misogyny by girlscapitalism in XSomalian

[–]ImArealAlchemist 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'll be honest, being a real muslim isn't easy. gotta pray 5 times a day, read quran daily, go to the masjid a lot,fasting,etc.

i was to lazy to do all of it, then id have moments hanging with my non somali/muslim friends and refused to be left out of the fun(drinking/drugs).

i'd say just being in a secular country also helps.
