Helicopters are also a socially constructed category. Does being classified as a Apache Twin Turboshaft attack helicopter also depends solely upon identification with it? Did you verify it with the helicopter, whether it identifies as a hippopotamus or a helicopter? Or maybe you are confused as fuck. It's ok if you call transwoman, as a biological man who identifies as a woman. That actually makes sense. We can accommodate such people. But if you think you are literally a woman after having a dick, simply because you choose to identify as such is lunacy. People identify with insane shit all the time. That's why We don't build the world around identifications. We build the world around observations. Understand the difference.

"What is a woman?" I don't know. "Is a transwoman a woman?" Yes. "Then what is a woman?" I don't know.

It is wrong to kill an ant or a child. It's all about how much you care. You care about a human, you don't care about an ant. That's the only valid distinction you can bring up at this point.

Reminds me of what Kierkegaard said. Marry and you will regret it. Don't marry and also regret it. Most reasons for divorce are incompatibility and lack of commitment. Things that could be solved be persistence and work. The first problem is comparison. A woman that had 5 boyfriends before you will always have higher expectations for you. One of her bfs must had a bigger dick than you, another had more money, another was smarter and charismatic etc. So a woman that had multiple partner would need more work to be pleased. Same is true from a man's pov. Having had sex with burning hot sex with young females make you question why you are putting up with your aging wife. A man usually marries in his early thirties and that is the time when he has the most options in the dating market. So a healthy marriage would involve giving up some of your options. Also having sex with multiple partners affects your ability to effectively pair bond with one partner. Your body Remembers the memory from all the partners you have had sex with, and might make you incompatible from forming an effective relationship with new person. It's an irreversible change. Deeper connections are harder to make, not to mention the trauma and abuses you accumulate with each partner which is going to be carried over to the relationship. That might explain some of the reasons why high partner count coorelates with high divorce. I don't think most people are happy after divorce either. Divorce is terrible for the mental health of the parents and children.

How exactly does exploitation happen in the case of testing students? Can you give something specific. The idea of testing is to give the students and idea of where they stand, their abilities and the possibilities it would open up. I don't think the war time scenario is strictly applicable here. Education is an individual game, every every individual has absolute authority to decide their own wins/failure.

One more point about tests is that it's inherently competitive and going to involve comparisons. I do agree with JK that it shouldn't lead to exploitation. But you also have to accept that fact that we live in a competitive and exploitative reality, where high IQ is a necessity for vast majority of the tasks. A test can be done to evaluate two things : Either memory or IQ or a combination of both. Every written test is directly or indirectly is a measure of these. In my observation, descriptive type tests where you are required to write any number of words tests your working memory; your ability to hold things in your brain. Retention; Remember; Objective type tests (mcqs) test IQ, spatial reasoning and also some working memory. You need to remember some things to effectively solve IQ problems. Other than this there is nothing that is actually measurable. Creativity isn't strictly measurable. Work ethic, discipline cannot be measured. Only these two things can be measured and they can be measured with reasonable accuracy. These days people ar quick to dismiss IQ and propagate crap like EQ as being better than IQ lol. There is no way around this problem. If educational system cannot test IQ (which they don't these days) corporations will be forced to take up that role. It's not even their job to be honest. There are so many problems like this of not conducting adequate Testing. What you bought up is a serious problem that enough people are simply not paying attention to.

I plan to take a formalised IQ test by the beginning of next year. Will answer you after that. I don't want to answer based on speculation of informal internet IQ tests.

What a fresh video to see two men maturely discussing a topic. https://youtu.be/-zRqzcvJxAU With regards to testing, the main concern of his is rank ordering Students in a hierarchy. But some students naturally excel more than others, which leads to a disparity & an organic hierarchy. The key points is that STATUS should be eliminated from the hierarchy while encouraging different students to pursue result independent outcomes and just love what you are doing in an undisciplined fashion. Eliminating status is idealistic, but completely missed these days everything is status based. A student scoring high is the result of privilege ,wealth, sexism racism, fascism etc. Everything except IQ and talent. We can clearly see this trend among universities removing standardised tests and schools phasing out gifted programs. This is pathetic. Sadly this isn't going to change anytime soon. As more green people get into power everything is looked upon through the lens of race, status, power and wealth. Celebration of unique abilities of children is perverted into mere explanations of class privilege. Freedom of kids, including free speech will be further restricted. There is a good chance that my kids won't be attending universities.

It technically need not make you bisexual. Bisexual means you find both men and women attractive. You don't find men attractive, you just like dicks and it's fine. End it at that. You need not try to fit in the social constructs built by society. If I likes ice cream,it doesn't make me an icecreamophile or something. Because these categories comes with added un intended baggage. Either way you are brainwashed by society. Either by traditionalists or progressives. Pick your poison. Each has it's own benifits and consequences. People here are far more ideological than what they think of themselves to be. It's just that they change the content of their ideology.

Having pre martial sex increases the odds of divorce. The thing is you need to work hard to get a quality woman. No surprise. And I think it's great. Marriage is fundamentally stage blue thingy. It's hard to find functional marriages in orange societies. >= 50% of the marriages end in divorce in the US. The same odds as flipping a coin. Casual sex is the primary reason, also the declining of strong patriarchal support is a factor. Men(in India) understands this intuitively and urged women to protect their chastity till marriage. This is to protect the fundamental unit that holds society together, family. Bro don't read stuff on the internet about other people's lives and wish it was you. It's not going to work that way. Instead work constructively with what you have. Instead of casual sex with 20 women you can build a deeper relationship with one woman. That should be explored isn't it? Also I have seen plenty of abuses aimed at @Someone here for choosing up to opening about his sexuality. Kindly refrain from doing it. I Would advice against it if your intention is to marry the girl. It's not worth the risk, and you should be aware of that. If you just want to casually have sex, then go ahead.

Just test their IQ in a comfortable environment. Give them enough room for intellectual stimulation. The children would do fine. But the parents and teachers are suddenly triggered that some students outclass other students. Testing students have been made more difficult than it should be. One point that I want to be clear: Students must have adequate freedom to innovate inside the academic system. The system should get out of the way. Acknowledge the legitimacy of IQ and don't suffer it.

Invented. I don't even see how this is difficult. You don't see number under a rock. You impose abstractions on top of a rock.

Death is a natural process as life itself. An individual must have the freedom to decide when they no longer choose to put up with it. -Someone over the age of 70+ - Unbearably miserable physical/metal/social condition,or a combination of those, also must be approved by a doctor. The approval shouldn't be easily given, but the freedom to end life should be there.

These people have no heart or what?

Just make guns illegal, and allow some time for return of the guns. (2 years or so). ?

Sugar is poison.

We all have an inner child ain't it.

Still has better cognitive functioning that Biden. ??? You should be more worried about Biden making it to 2024. Who do you think will be their next candidate?

Thank you @Leo @nistake . Going to switch to stainless steel.

Glass, Metal, Copper Water Bottles are the best to store potable water. Many say Copper, but I am afraid it would lead to heavy metal toxicity. I think other metals have the same problem since they are also reactive to some degree. Plastic obviously should be avoided. Glass is probably the safest but it's risky to carry it around. Inputs please.

It's sad that they are not even giving him a chance. I would love to see Bernie being the prez.

Creatine is actually not that costly. You need to eat 16g of Tuna to get 4g of creatine. The recommended dose of Creatine is 3g daily. You just can't get enough from food. Plus Tuna contains all the heavy metals which you don't want to take in.

Boomers never update their mental models, especially if they have lesser life experiences and fogyism starts to kick in. Economic development and education can change this a lot
