WE DON’T HAVE TO DEHUMANIZE SJWs ONLY EXPLAIN WHY THEY ARE NPC’s.
Um. They don’t have to dehumanize SJWs. Because if Agency demarcates humans from animals, then they were never human in the first place and all this discourse is really fruitless because NPC’s (Those Lacking Agency) can’t in fact choose. Only follow instructions (scripts.)

—“Researchers discovered Aspergers individuals scores are much higher when they are evaluated by a test called Ravens Progressive Matrices, which encompasses reasoning, novel problem-solving abilities, and high-level abstraction. By comparison, scores for non-Aspergers individuals are much more consistent across different tests. Interestingly, Asperger participants performance on Ravens Matrices was associated with their strongest peaks of performance on the traditional Wechsler. A previous study by the same group found very similar results for autistic individuals as well, whose peaks of ability are perceptual, rather than verbal as in Asperger individuals. This observation suggests that individuals with autism spectrum disorders have a common information processing mechanism for different aspects of information (verbal vs. perceptual).”—

October 12th, 2018 1:26 PM FRANCE IS THE ENEMY OF EUROPE (Really) AND THE WEST [L]ong term, while She can feed herself, and provide her own energy, and capture enough taxation to project local power, France has been, and will continue to be, the Enemy of European civilization – attempting at all times to drag her into feminine mediterraneanism and semiticism, while Germany must continuously expand her trade to maintain her position, and integrate with eastern europe, and russia for agrarian production (poland, ukraine), labor (poland, ukraine, russia), and resources (russia), while maintaining her relations with italy (seaports, aesthetics). Only Russia understands the threat to eurasia because only Russia faces it all along her borders. France has surrendered to it, but then France of the north may be German, but France of the south is Mediterranean, and Paris is but new Jerusalem in postmodern sophist rather than semitic supernatural prose, sold to gullible women and men of the academy who cannot produce by commercial, scientific, and military means. (WHY IS CURT STARTING THIS DISCUSSION? France, not Germany, is positioned to dominate europe upon the withdrawal of the USA from functioning as the word’s police force.)
October 12th, 2018 12:47 PM IQ BY MAJOR (COLLEGES DO NOT PRODUCE THIS DATA ON PURPOSE) [T]here are five different measures we use to answer this question: 1) the iq of high school students applying for university (we have their iq scores from standardized tests) 2) the sat scores of college students by major 3) the gre scores of grad students by major 4) the long term tracking of students from high school to life. 5) the lifetime performance of all degree holders by socio economic status. Most of these tests show volatility because 1) weschler is the best measure but only available in high school students, 2) mathematics appears to be the best functional test of intelligence at the high end, and ‘verbal ability’ was added to raise the measure of girls/women on tests, 3) the personality trait ‘industriousness’ is so influential on performance 4) sat scores test education, gre scores select upward, 5) colleges and universities vary vastly in the capability of students they attract and the difficulty of the major they provide. 6) smaller numbers of men go to college and tend to have higher abilities, and larger numbers of women go to college regardless of their abilities. 7) girls mature much earlier, and boys much later, so IQ stabilizes in adulthood (and any advances evaporate), and we have no means of IQ testing after 23 when this stabilization occurs other than lifetime performance. The numbers in the the OP reflect an effect which is well understood in the data: more women go to college than men by far now, and that lowers the score of women to the median because of regression to the mean at scale. Moreover, some degrees have a negative impact on lifetime earnings (social work, sociology, education). This is important for the simple reason that most published proxies for intelligence of gender and occupation use the number of degrees independent of major as a proxy for IQ which tends to vastly overstate or understand the biological intelligence, functional intelligence, of demographic areas. None of which is complicated. But the reminder needs to be out there constantly that this is how aggregates are produced.

(Customs: Westerners treat dogs as members of our family. Muslims hate them, and Asians eat them. We do not seem to take into account the difference in cleanliness and disease between cold-sparsely populated, temperate-loosely-populated, and hot-densely populated climates.)
