Predictors of having a low IQ:
- Thinking somebody is trying to poison you.
- Calling yourself a slow learner.
- Hearing voices.
- Being frightened or disgusted by dirt.
- Hearing strange things when alone.
- Being disgusted by sex.
- Thinking you get a raw deal from life.
I wonder what people who think of American right wingers as subhuman because they score 4-6 points lower than left wingers on IQ tests think of Black people.
These people talk about IQ nonstop, but then get real quiet when people with higher IQs are provably more economically successful
Hardly any high IQ people are at the bottom of the income distribution and their median income is much higher than low intelligence people
If Democrats don't want to date Republican voters, then why are young conservative men less likely to be single than liberal men? I think I may have found some answers ๐งต
I don't think I've ever seen such a blatant example of the market of ideas failing to deliver. This piece has been taken down again and again, only for it to be continuously cited and revered.
I doubt that it's a coincidence that the two highest IQ regions in the world (Northwestern Europe and North East Asia) have the same biome - temperate broadleaf forest.
In a new paper in the MQ, me and
@KirkegaardEmil
found that individuals who tended to date outside their race were more likely to be similar to them in various ways. For example, Hispanic people who dated outside their race tended to have higher SES parents and be taller.
"Why did your country, Germany, invade Poland?"
"Your basic education is in history, as far as I understand?"
"Yes."
"So if you don't mind, It all started 4,000 years ago when our people, the aryans, invaded the rest of the Eurasian continent..."
In another new paper that was published in the MQ, me and
@KirkegaardEmil
find that believing the government should be responsible for economic decisions correlates negatively with intelligence.
Physiognomy is real, but misunderstood. It is not deterministic, but probabilistic - somebody with Moldbug's face is more likely to be untrustworthy than sombody with Gavin Newsom's face, but that doesn't mean Newsom is more trustworthy than Moldbug.
I find it hard to believe that light skin was selected for in Europe/Asia due to vitamin D absorption - dark skinned people do not need that much more sunlight than whiter people. Sexual selection is a more believable explanation.
I'm on the fence about whether the BAPsphere or the liberal race realists are correct about the future of HBD.
On one hand, all previous attempts to normalize HBD have failed. Jensen tried it in 1969 and failed. Murray tried it in 1994 and failed. The alt-right era youtubers andโฆ
Ted Kaczynski is known for scoring a 167 on an IQ test in 6th grade, but when he was retested in confinement, he only scored a 136.
IQ tests are reasonably reliable at most of the distribution, but the reliability falls at the outer ranges.
"Low productivity workers" don't necessarily bring "average productivity" down.
In many, obvious, cases they free up time away so that "high productivity workers" do not have to spend time on "low productivity" tasks.
Collapse theories (mutational load, intelligence dysgenics, AI takeover, climate change) are irrational and are believed because they satisfy psychological needs.
1/3 Most studies of the relationship between big 5 personality traits and political ideology examine the effects of broad or domain-level traits (e.g. 'Conscientiousness', 'Agreeableness'). However, the results of such studies can be misleading insofar as groups may haveโฆ
It turns out that the IQ bell curve meme might be real, just the other way around. Extremely intelligent and unintelligent individuals gravitated were less likely to self-identify as right wing.
Conservative men LOVE Hitler, and women are much more likely to like Hitler than men are, according to a nationally representative sample of 134 Americans who were sampled by the Center for American Progress.
Between individuals, social classes, and races, the aristocracy have a tendency to not perfer large buttocks, breasts, and genitalia. This occurs due to a psychological mechanism and an evolutionary mechanism.

random explanations:
- men are more incentivized to get rid of their loans than women are
- women are worse at managing money
- women take out more student loans
- gender differences in pay within educational degree cats are large
Mormons: most disliked religious group, but most supportive of free speech at the expense of an inclusive society (81%).
Jews: most liked religious group, but least supportive of free speech (35%).
Interesting. According to this โstudyโ conducted by white men.. everyone that dates white men has an IQ higher than everyone else.. what a coincidence.. interesting indeed.
I was also able to determine the relationship between ethnicity and consumption of delivery foods. Jewish population correlated the most with fast food restaurants, and White population correlated the most with the consumption of Abby Shapiro's Milk.
Looked up what a 70kg woman looks like, and the model seems a bit inflated, but not that inaccurate.
There seems to be substantial heterogeniety in "visual fatness" vs how fat you would assume somebody is based on their measurements.
>Mormon dad has a spreadsheet that measures the number of forcibly single men that exist under polygamy depending on the sex ratio, marriage rate, frequency of polygamous marriage, and several other parameters.
The autism runs in the family.
Using data that I got from Aella, I was able to determine that J*ws appear to be influencing the size of the homosexual population by increasing the amount of sissy hypno p*rn.
Well, that's certainly a puzzle. Who would want to date a tall (lanky), emotionally stable (boring), and attractive (faggy looking) guy, that's ALSO conservative? The data is pretty clear.
USNews university rank correlates with the academic quality of their students (measured with SAT, ACT, and class rank) at about .93. Standardized testing is not weighed highly (just 5%) in the USNews uni ranks, so this is not due to the way the ranks are measured.
