RE: BIONIC READING
The Chrome plugin isn’t good. No.
Also, the tactic doesn’t help for all conditions. ie: most helpful when hard to keep place in a body of text, or when reading complex text, or when scanning for specific content in text. Imagine it on large font text and it’s annoying.
Options to assist the reader are:
Upper-Lower case, given lower case is more readable but upper case indexes new context, First Few Letters, Phoneme, Root, Word, Multi-Word Term, and Phrase.
I use word, multiword-term, and phrase.
I can understand first root or min phonemes but random first letters isn’t intelligent enough, so automating it requires a lookup(like spell checkers) or AI.

None too bright. Pick a fight with a guy who can beat you by reach alone, but is also confident, relaxed, fit, and worse, skilled. Then take pot shots instead of bum rushing him together and getting him on the ground. There is a bit of an asymmetry of brains here too, I think. 😉

(easy confusion: disconnection might be a better negative term. or focus a better positive term. I assume Walter like most of our people works from the stoic frame of limiting external distraction and influence by active concentration vs the eastern method of passive…

Well, the other side of the coin is that an african with a 70IQ isn’t ‘broken’, but just has a harder time with learning abstractions – but a white person or asian with the same IQ is cognitively defective. We had a wonderful young nanny from africa work for us and she just read slowly and had problems with math and abstractions, was honest and comfortable with it, and had no insecurities. Otherwise she was a wonderful human being and a flawless nanny, and perfectly capable of self support in life. I had a ‘friend’ (acquaintance) from (I think) Cameroon, that coudn’t have had more than an 80IQ and he worked so hard and was so honest and moral I adored him. And if we study by Pygmy’s who have maybe a 55IQ, they do just fine, and live fulfilling lives while a white or asian would be incapable of self care. I have a friend from Ghana who is at least in the same IQ range as I am. So when someone like the woman Emil is responding to equates whites with africans of the same IQ it’s not the same thing. Africans > South Eurasians > East Asians and Europeans all evolved under slightly different constraints. And africa, despite being our mutual origin there, because the disease gradient and competition alone, is actually a pretty hostile place that forces us to mature earlier to survive. So the value of IQ is really related to how fast we can learn and adapt to the use of physical and logical instrumentation. Otherwise just being a good person is a pretty useful skill. 😉

Yes. Though I wasn’t intending to push that.
Technically you’re referring to “ethnocentric homogeneity” which produces the lowest chance of conflict and status competition.
See: Hartshorna, Kaznatcheeva, and Shultz: The Evolutionary Dominance of Ethnocentric Cooperation.

BEST BOOKS ON THE IQ QUESTION
Via a friend on Quora that I frequently share:
1) If you want something basic:
Intelligence: All that matters, S.J. Ritchie, John Murray Learning, London (2015).
2) Probably the best starting point:
Haier, R. J. (2017). The Neuroscience of Intelligence, Cambridge University Press.
3) If you want easy reading, lots of information, and one of the best sources of how IQ impacts life outcomes:
Hernstein, R. J., & Murray, C. (1994). The Bell Curve: Intelligence and Class Structure in American Life. New York: Free Press. Note: The only shortcoming of this book is its age. We have powerful new technologies that were developed later. Those confirm the contents of The Bell Curve, and show that the book understates many factors.
4) If you want to read the most cited text in all of intelligence research:
Jensen, A. R. (1998). The g factor: The science of mental ability. Westport, CT: Praeger. Note: This book is more advanced than those listed above and also was written before the development of such things as brain imaging technologies (they were just beginning); genome wide association studies; and polygenic scores.
Note: I also rely on another one whose title escapes me at the moment but gets into detail on the psychometircs and the evolution of testing. If I recall, it’s extremely expensive, and I had to get it from libgen.
5) For a worldwide view:
Richard Lynn: The Global Bell Curve: Race, IQ, and Inequality Worldwide. Lynn is controversial but I’ve spent enough time with him personally that he’s rock solid on the data.
6) Much more on Jayman’s Reading List (search for IQ)
I copy it here in case it’s ‘cancelled’.
