The world becomes polarizingly #harmonized: very ugly vs very stylish.
Homelessness vs gated #architecture, obesity vs insta-models, emotion-outraged vs #IQ-acted.
An example? Walton-on-Thames in the UK, a Hale Road from Roxburgh Street, 1950s and 2023. Or ask me about Moscow… twitter.com/i/web/status/1… pic.twitter.com/PAUc3NRsxZ

–White lies are more important than Truth because… Emotional Intelligence
–EQ has low validity (low Truth), esp compared to #IQ and Big 5
–But we gotta smooth team politics!
–Ray Dalio, a billionaire, built his co with Truth as core principle… @elonmusk relies on physics #Truth
–Anatoly, I dislike you for telling me the truth!
I’ve been wondering about indirect IQ measurements. One of them, is… #smoking. Yes, people still smoke #tobacco in 2022. A lot of people. 🤢
Cigarette smokers have lower IQs than non-smokers, and the more a person smokes, the lower their #IQ.
For example, this study of over 20 000 Israeli military recruits.
And for the Believers in #Emotional Intelligence™ #pseudoscience, consider the phenomenon of “social smoking” and “smoking while drinking”.

One of the most radical books I’ve read in a while. Recommended for anyone with special talents, such as an #IQ over 125, #artistic abilities and other high-functioning #neurodivergence traits… AKA #nerds.

Has it dismayed you as well to hear the stereotypical “weak #female upper torso” argument of “I need a man to open a jar”? When all you need is a flat screwdriver or equivalent to slightly bend the screw-on lid and breach the air seal?
This is a #curiosity and #IQ problem.
Not a brute #force problem, in my opinion. 🤷🏻♂️
Oh, and, by the way, the grip force to generate torque required to open most jars can be trained in human females in 4-8 months. YouTube female #climbers and #crossFit athletes for concrete examples. 🙄
