he hires people to write his scripts for videos on the random shit he hasn't studied himself. seems like a comfy grift. some of his debates are pretty good but he will instantly regress to the 10 year old pedantic nerd that lives inside of him when he gets triggered and it loses the juice imo. still fun to watch if he keeps his cool to question my own understanding of things, and get a lil laught at the "Free thinkers" trying to prove whatever weird shit is popular among anti intellectuals at the time.

I appreciate you announcing your non-sequitur before jumping right into one. It has been conceded that death of any single member of a population of organisms is evolution because it changes the allele frequency of that population. Stick to the question at hand. What physical mechanism by an organism dying causes the rest of the organisms to undergo evolution?

Yeah all the animals smart enough to live in the ocean and sky. We literally can't catch them. And fr fr we almost killed all the whales remember, once we figured out how to catch the whale it's days were numbered. They're literally still mass killing whales in the more "developed" parts of the globe.

You can test every immigrant. It's easy.
>Also using 100 as your benchmark on who goes in or not is stupid since many well paying careers and professions still exist with "lower IQ"
Not important. The risk of importing low IQ people is not worth the risk. Someone else with a higher IQ will come along for the job. It's literally just protecting society from the statistically riskier (more violent, more debt) immigrants.
>>
>>16892368
>doping the general results with outliers will not significantly alter the results.
Anon the issue comes with the fact that many wealthy African schools got dropped but that wasn't applied to other demographics. So you have those schools getting dropped, but elite Japanese private high schools getting left alone. Many times many scores come from refugees or "collected averages" from nearby states.
>no shit. an iq test is valid only the first time you take it. this isn't groundbreaking knowledge.
Wrong. Even with repeated testing in a particular test, you can't substantially make huge jumps in scoring
>>
>>16892614
>You can test every immigrant. It's easy.
Impossible. The sheer costs in administrating the tests, creating the tests, proctoring the tests and then marking them will be massive.

>Someone else with a higher IQ will come along for the job. It's literally just protecting society from the statistically riskier (more violent, more debt) immigrants.

I'm practically unemployed and I have too much time to waste.

As a student (master of psychology) I always wanted to become a scientist but my research projects didn't really work out for various reasons. Now I'm thinking about giving it another go but unfortunately I'm not longer at a university and I'm too embarassed to ask my alma mater for lab access or other tools (like access to students for my research purposes or stats analysis software).

Basically I have a research subject and I think it good be done as online surveys. But I'd have to find people online. (faecbook groups etc.) I did it for my masters thesis but I imagine writing for an actual peer reviewed publisher would have higher requirements. So: Are samples collected like that good enough? (It's social psychology if that matters)
Am I going to be looked at disfavorably when I'm not associated with any university?

Basically the only way this film remained in popular culture is people bringing up "idiocracy wasn't supposed to be a documentary" and everyone laughing at people who thought it was realistic.
If I try to go "back in time" to try to see what people used to say on the subject, the only criticism I find are comics like https://xkcd.com/603/ that nitpick some tiny detail that's hardly even mentioned or implied at best (also saying "worrying about the problem causes more harm than the problem", I wonder how he felt about covid years later) or making fun of the movie's depoction of future America, which is obviously exaggerated and stylised for comedic effect.
I feel bad for being the only guy around who didn't get the memo on how the central premise actually got debunked. The central premise in my view being "as of right now, the smart, well organised people who have their shit together and can form healthy, happy relationships tend to have few or no kids, where as the abusive drug addicted idiots, often only kept alive by welfare, charity or crime, who bumble through life and never consider planning for the future are the group that tend to have the most kids (especially since you can count on there being kids out of wedlock).
Like I said, this just seems like common sense to me, it matches what I see outside perfectly. Most of us could pay for an abortion if it came to that, the people that don't have a few hundred dollars to their name could be just jolly good poor people but most of them are likely just retards who spend money as it comes in, never even considering the idea of saving or planning ahead.
