    “WHAT IS (g) OR GENERAL INTELLIGENCE?”

    1. g is a measure of comparative rate of learning, or more correctly rate of information processing.
    2. while humans demonstrate something like 80 capabilities, all abilities scale with g.
    3. the only substantive variation is the masculine (spatial- symbolic) with the feminine ( verbal-empathic). Not that they do not also scale with g (they do), but that there is value to be had in distinguishing the ratio of verbal and spatial – which is why our SAT’s etc are graded as such (and why tests have been modified to give women an advantage,by lowering the mathematical demands)>
    4. we measure g on a distribution with 100 being the average.
    5. to compensate for age differences we divide by the age.
    6. we update the tests to maintain the average (this is bad, it creates the same problem in intelligence measurement as prices so without reflecting purchasing power parity)
    7. we call this the IQ score. Intelligence quotient.
    8. we could calculate the g-score against a consistent measure (say 1970, at which point we had pretty consistent data). And separately publish the distribution by age bracket. so you would know your percentile for your peer group. This would be the most accurate. The problem is we take the tests too early. While they’re fairly accurate, the truth is that we don’t really mentally mature until about 22 or so. ANd so it would be more useful if we tested people in order to say, vote, or obtain benefits, or something.

    UNWED MOTHERS STATS (NOTICE MAP TO IQ DISTRIBUTION)
    via A New Radical Centrism

    A two-parent family is a known factor in producing positive outcomes in society. Therefore, these percentages, which continue to increase, are discouraging.

    Percentage of births in the US to unwed mothers:

    Blacks, 77%
    Hispanic immigrants, 49%
    Whites, 30%
    Asians, 27%.

    (You’ll notice that the figure for Asian immigrants is much lower than for Asians overall.)

    YES I PLAY A GAME WITH PEOPLE.

    Yes I play a game with people. The game is to make people happy. To feel good about themselves. To encourage them. To help them fulfill their ambitions. To make them laugh. To educate them if I can. To plant seeds for later consideration if I can’t. You should try it rather than bitching, whining, disapproving, and hating others for being a better person than you are, and thereby creating a better world than you do.

    ON MARRIAGE, CHILDREN, HAPPINESS, AND THE WAR AGAINST US

    What, that women will be happier if they have kids younger, and have more of them? I think [Molyneux is] just stating what the data says. Married people with children are happier. Although it might be that they’re simply better people in the first place, and that’s what better people do.

    —“Married people are happier perhaps because happier people are more likely to get married. Never thought of that did you? Thought not.”–@adambutler65

    Of course I did:
    –Although it might be that they’re simply better people in the first place, and that’s what better people do.–

    —“No you didn’t. You were saying that women and married people are happier *because* they have kids. So what about married people who think they’d be happier without kids? Or who can’t have kids? They are lesser “better people”? Your argument and world view fall apart. Goodbye.”—@adambutler65

    Yes it is what I said. I just also said that better people were happier. And you can’t bear being told to your face that you’re not only dead weight on the planet and mankind, but undesirable, and a lesser human. Conversely you could learn to be a better person by working at it.

    Children teach you to be unselfish, collective, and productive, in exchange for insurance against the decline of energy, ability, social and economic market value in maturity and old age.

    I don’t make errors. It’s my job – to compensate for the industrialization of sophism pseudoscience fictionalism, and deceit, manufactured to sell hyperconsumption to you, in the ancient war of the underclasses against their betters, by the promulgation of envy.

    COOPERATION BETWEEN GENDERS IS ONLY USEFUL UNTIL IT’S NOT.

    —“Look after ourselves, put our needs first, do whatever we want with our time, you know, just live like a man..”—@alison__wright

    Living “like a man”, during our evolution, in prehistory, in ancient history, and right up until the european era, frequently involved treating women as another domesticated animal – property to be used in his interests. If men want to put our needs first AGAIN, it’s EASY. OK?

    You mean, you MAY as long as it’s in our interests not to revert to prior techniques, and to END the experiment in female defense under rule of law, choice of her fertility, property rights, participation in economic production, freedom of speech, and political enfranchisement.

    Never presume we are equal. The first resource is time, and the second is violence, and cooperation only comes into play when it is more rewarding over time, to cooperate rather than engage in predation. Women have rights and privileges, just like the weak do: it’s just cheaper.

    So don’t make it too ‘expensive’ to ‘tolerate’ you.

    Have we had enough dose of reality yet? Ok. Good. Now have a pat on the head and go back to playing with the garden – that men have made for you.

    THREE MAJOR RESPONSES – FLIGHT, FREEZE OR FIGHT.
    by James Dmitro Makienko

    —“Cooperation is only valuable until it isn’t. … Humans can choose always to (a) evade, (b) cooperate with, (c) prey upon, one another.”— CD

    Just like in danger there are three major responses – FLIGHT, FREEZE or FIGHT.

    A small minority would choose to escape the situation or circumstances

    A larger minority would try to confront it, make the most out of it for themselves

    A majority would simply go along and cooperate with each other to ensure their Maslov and status needs are met

    ARE YOU A COWARD?

    One can fear death under one’s control, or one can fear genocide outside of one’s control. Cowards worry about death. Heroes worry about not dying well.
