Greater variation is due to greater degrees of birth defect. Birth defects are preventable. Birth defects are ‘prohibitable’. Yes, traumas can affect one. Particularly females who are less hetero than males. But vulnerability to trauma is likewise a birth defect. Conversely, as we see in sub saharans, excessive testosterone in utero produces frequent hermaphroditic qualities in females. By the late pleistocene (the period of human development) we had all adapted to our regions. But even over the past 12k years we have adapted more. The primary means of adaptation has been developmental – endocrinological, with noetony, reverse neoteny, and gender dimorphism and reverse dimorphism the principle directions of evolutionary change. https://www.ipce.info/library/journal-article/minor-physical-anomalies-prenatal-pedophilia (thanks to whomever tipped me off to this collection of articles)

    (FB 1551972617 Timestamp) JUSTIFICATION OF SELF DECEPTION By: Rosenborg Predmetsky (via Brandon Hayes) Someone pointed out the other day that self deception can be advantageous from the standpoint of natural selection. Robert trivers has great work on this. When a feminist convinces herself that she is justified in acquiring a sugar daddy because patriarchy economically oppressed her, this is sexually antagonistic co-evolution. When a black person justifies blm activism despite blacks being much more a problem for whites than the other way around, this is group evolutionary strategy whose purpose is reciprocal altruism to maximize inclusive fitness for his kin group; I.e. group evolutionary strategy

    (FB 1552001869 Timestamp) IQ and autism
    05, Sunday, Oct 2014 Posted by pumpkinperson in Uncategorized Tags: autism, executive function, IQ, schizophrenia For those who have never studied statistics, the non-autistic population in Western countries is said to have an average IQ of 100 and a standard deviation (SD) of 15. A standard deviation of 15 simply means that the standard amount by which most people deviate from the average is around 15 points, in other worlds, about two thirds of the non-autistic population have IQ’s from 85 to 115. As for the autistic population, a recent study found 16% of autistic spectrum children had IQ’s below 50, while 3% had IQ’s above 115. Assuming a normal distribution, an IQ of 116+ is 1.87 Standard Deviations (SD) above the autistic mean, and an IQ below 50 is 1 SD below the autistic mean. This suggests that autistic people have a mean IQ of 72 and an SD of 23 compared to the non-autistic population (mean 100, SD=15). In other words, while the average autistic person has a much lower IQ than the average neurotypical, the autistic population is much more cognitively variable. This resolves the paradox of why autistic people can simultaneously have a reputation for being both mentally disabled and brilliant scientists. Because, compared to neurotypicals, autistic people will be dramatically over-represented at both ends of the bell curve. Above IQ 100 About 50% of neurotypicals have IQ’s above 100, compared to only 10% of autistic people. Above IQ 115 About 14% of neurotypicals have IQ’s this high, compared to to only 3% of autistic people. Above IQ 130 About 2% of neurotypicals score this high, compared to only 0.5% of autistic people Above IQ 145 Only one in 924 neurotypicals score this high, compared to only one in 1,838 autistic people Above IQ 160 Only about one in 42,000 neuotypicals scores this high, compared to one in 18,000 autistic people. At this level of giftedness, autistic people are actually OVER-REPRESENTED!!!!!!!!!!! Above IQ 175 Only about one in five million neurotypicals score this high, compared to about one in 300,000 autistic people. Above IQ 190 Only about one in 1.5 billion neurotypicals score this high, compared to about one in 14 million autistic people. The fact that autistic people are so incredibly variable in IQ confirms Pumpkin Person’s groundbreaking theory that autism is not actually one phenotype, but two phenotypes, that have been arbitrarily conflated by psychologists: Nerdiness (slow life history?) which causes high IQ, and executive dysfunction which causes low IQ. Analogously, schizophrenia is probably also two phenotypes: coolness (fast life history?), which causes low IQ, and executive dysfunction, which causes even lower IQ.

    (FB 1552059953 Timestamp) AFAIK the only means of improving cognitive performance that has any basis is (a) disciplining your executive function (b) physical fitness and health – particularly water and oxygenation, (c) accumulated general knowledge, (d) investment in more than one discipline that forces you to settle competitions between the frames. Everything else is simply ‘learning’ not ‘improving’. Intelligence should consist of that information and repetition necessary for you to identify and permute upon increasingly divergent, increasingly recursive patterns in time. The only way to improve that is to cut the cost of pattern identification by ‘loading patterns’ – meaning ‘reading’ in the past and may be ‘reading and watching videos’ in the present. Simple Formula: “g” general ability both performance and verbal + Short term memory + general knowledge + work (personality traits) – stupid ideas(and there are a lot of those) = demonstrated general intelligence. Lift heavy things. Run fast a bit. Read Shit. Train Your Brain to Focus on what you want it to (mindfulness), and work your ass off.

    (FB 1552170333 Timestamp) —“Russian President Vladimir Putin congratulated Russian women for everything they do in life, like taking care of the home and staying beautiful. He made the remarks to a group of Russian female policewomen on International Women’s Day, which was celebrated throughout the Soviet Union. “You manage everything at work and at home, whilst staying beautiful, bright, and charming,” Putin said, adding that “It is hard to imagine the history and development of our country without the contribution of the great Russian women.” “What does a young woman need to maintain her figure? Three things: a workout machine, a masseuse and a suitor,” Putin told the police officers. Putin also told the female police staff that when they patrol the city woodland parks, the number of accidents drops “because those who wish to commit suicide look at you and want to live again,” reported The Moscow Times. “True, it is a gift of nature, but you, dear women, multiply this gift a hundred times with your attitude to work and your dear ones,” he said. “You are reliable co-workers and managers of great responsibility. You are capable of feeling the subtlest nuances and taking a competent and creative attitude to any undertaking,” Putin said. “It is hard to imagine the history and development of our country without the creative contribution of the great women of Russia. These days there are no professional heights you are unable to achieve.”—
