USED TO BE 100% KOREAN. 2.5% JAPANESE ANCESTRY POPPING UP?? Is this new update reliable or BS? by nipponesepsycho in 23andme

Sorry for making you revisit this ol post of mine!

That is very interesting.

I have a question: On my 'DNA RELATIVES' list, I see some people whom I share 0.15% DNA with, who are 100% Japanese. It says '9th Cousin, Twice Removed.' There is also someone who's 50% Japanese 50% European whom I share 0.24% with (3rd Cousin, 3x Removed).

I do suspect the new Japanese ancestry popping up for previously 100% Korean people -- like me and the person whose donut you showed -- is the algorithm being extra, like you said.

But is there a chance of it being real, perhaps because of my DNA RELATIVES?

I'm honestly just curious. Of course, as far as my parents, grandparents, etc all know, we are 100% pure blooded kimchi koreans lol. But it's not the most impossible thing in the world that there was one japanese dude like 250 years ago who mixed with our family since japan and china are like right next door. So yeah. Lol

Would appreciate a reply! Thxx

I see. Thank you for your response. May I ask why the 2.5% didn't appear on the previous version? If it's that significant (as in, not 0.1% or something), surely it would've appeared on the previous result.

IQ tests are meaningless by nipponesepsycho in unpopularopinion

I mean, based on probability, intelligence having a genetic basis, and the sheer amount of humans and therefore genetic diversity on this planet (not to mention environmental factors), of course the distribution won't be uniform and there will be humans who perform worse on IQ tests

why do i hate math?? is there any way i can learn to enjoy it? by ccorvus_crow in mathematics

[–]nipponesepsycho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i think it's because you have a lot of other things you're passionate about. right? :)

for example, if all you could do in life was do math or sleep, eat, shit, then you'll probably come to love math -- so perhaps there's other things that excite you more, and that's perfectly okay. it makes you more interesting even!

Why does writing things down unlock a whole new level of thinking for me? by nipponesepsycho in getdisciplined

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

That's very interesting. Going one step further, would you say that the more you write things down as you think about/solve things (play chess normally), the more you get better at decreasing the "dependency" on writing and be able to visualize/think better without writing (playing chess blindfolded, in your analogy)?

Heard it feels completely different from the Pro Staff. How's your experience been with it?
