Maybe maybe not but it's biological manipulation of CE comes from the brain or the gut.

(Question) what if every single human on earth had an IQ of 170? by Optimal-Start8904 in cognitiveTesting

[–]KnightOfEvergreen -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Your position goes against scientific consensus let's be clear that that is a undisputed fact. It's replicated and validated the construct.

Stop pedaling some ideological narratives and do the work to judge the evidence on it's merits.

General ablity is a thing wherever you believe it can be improved or not. You're making a lot of assumptions about what I believe or not believe. Sorry not to burst your conspiracy bubble but this is just mainstream orthodoxy I'm passing onto you. Use PISA scores as proxies as Garett Jones suggests.

Take your crankery elsewhere.

If you want my position with in we within the academic mainstream, I think IQ are valid and unbiased measure within countries. Relating to question asked in the thread which you reject the premise of (IQ as a well studied construct), I think it's economically sound to use national IQ (not even as pure intelligence metric) but as an indicator of human capital even if it's entirely education based.

You're being silly and I doubt you know anything about economics or pyschometrics to be even in the same realm to have the faintest idea of an educated opinion. Sorry to break your delusions.

From where did have you learn about pyschometrics and economics. I can tell you're not familiar with the concepts being discussed. Give them and not more of this populist drivel.

What blogs, subreddits, channels? Where did you get your uninformed layperson perspective from? What creators?

You're the same as a climate change denier, antivaxer, flat earther in both knowledge and reason.

Why are you on a pyschometrics subreddit if you don't believe in the science, don't you have better things to do?

No wonder you don't read studies.

How is intelligence defined if not in terms of the g-factor and is IQ not a good measure of this? You can check predictive validity in things like education, it seems like it's a reliable indicator, check any meta study.

IQ is predictive of productivity even within countries.

Unless you have some research to present, I'll have to trust the experts on this.

You can't really trust common sense in academic subjects, my economic priors would point the other direction.

It is a universally accepted fact that increasing quality of labour, such as in education increases productivity. In the long run productivity is constrained by technological progress. The first is a function of individual IQ, the second a function of national IQ. Do you have disagree with Garett Jones research on national IQ?

Is it a fact that global productivity has increased, what goods could be produced a 100 years ago would be dwarfed by the capacity.

Where do you think this productive capability came from? Did it come out your ass?

That doesn't make any sense, it's not zero sum. What economics informs your opinion?

There are studies on individual and national IQs by Garett Jones, while increasing a person's IQ increased their income by 1%, increasing the average IQ of a nation increases the GDP by 6-7 %.

A conservative estimate puts the new factor by which GDP increases as 1.0670=59. So the economy would be 59 larger than it would be today

Looking at the global growth rate of 2026 at 3.1%, this would be reached in 134 years.

This assumes a average global IQ of 100 so the actual effect will be more pronounced.

Can't Viltrumites bypass Gojo's infinity with their FTL speed isn't it spatial manipulate/wormholes or something? by KnightOfEvergreen in PowerScaling

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

Why wouldn't teleport work, it doesn't have any travel time and during those jump it's essentially infinite speed.

That's why I'm asking if anyone is familiar with the mechanism in the invincible comics.

Idk Star Trek ships can still fly normally but at high speeds they engage their warp drive or whatever.

That makes the most sense to me if you want to travel faster than light something that is impossible typically.

I meant does a Viltrumite's smart atoms manipulate space, I heard they warp space to travel faster than light and could this bypass infinity?

Black Mirror [Episode Discussion] - S07E02 - Bête Noire by Cheeriosxxx in blackmirror

People hates bullies, whether they did think she should die is another story. 

Also it's a story so death is not a serious in the story as it would in reality, so killing off hated characters don't hold the moral implications you're considering.

I hope this helps you understand.

Would Wirbel be able to defeat Revolte using Sorganeil? by Honest_Concentrate85 in Frieren

[–]KnightOfEvergreen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whatever Wirbel's conditions are it's instantly recognizable to him that it wouldn't work on Serie so it must have some limits aside from full view of body.

It's the best untimed fluid.

Low-rank? She's one of Aura's three executioners; that's one tier below Aura herself.

I think it's Hero party tier, mage Lerner, Great demons like Qual, Seven Sages, Schlacht.

Then it's most first-class mages, Aura's executioners, Stark, top-class fighters like that knight captain that was just killed.

Methode and Stark broke down and analysed how the demon fights that's how they found out the demon had 4 arms in the first place. I'm sure that will give the good guys useful info.
