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

There is nothing outside the world that can anger you. Only you can anger you. You give people a colour and demonise them. Grow up.

Until the email scandal.

If they anger you, consider the fact that you are being ideological like blue people yourself. And don't think of people as blue or green. It's weird.

It depends on what you are writing and what your objectives are as a writer. Do you intend to reach a large audience? What are the topics you are writing on? What is the medium that you intend to use? Be specific.

I am highly in favour of gifted programs, since college and school only dragged me down anyway.

"On Oct. 8, Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that New York City would phase out its gifted and talented programs as a critical step to address racial segregation in the nation’s largest school system." https://www.nytimes.com/2021/10/14/learning/should-we-eliminate-gifted-and-talented-programs.html A few pros and cons of gifted programs briefly put. PROS 1) Some kids are genetically gifted to understand concepts faster. So they would have a hard time making friends with their lesser gifted friends, who are the majority. This might also result in them getting bullied more often since their are in the category of less socially aware awkward nerds. 2) One size fits all solutions don't work. Imagine putting someone who can do advanced calculus in their heads in a class teaching algebra for 8H/day. It will be boring & depressive as fuck. It's akin to putting a spiritually gifted person like @Leo Gura in a Christian sunday school with the masses. 3) The average person is much less capable than you think. They can't even computer averages or percentages in their head. Now realize that half of them are below average. 4) The most important points is that most of the jobs in the market requires a high IQ bar to get into. People with better genetics tend to be workaholics and objectively deliver more value for the economy. So I think it will be a great thing if we allow such kids to spend less time studying in classrooms and let them work if they need to. Even more, Is it really justice leaving a gifted person who is also in a highly vulnerable stage of their life (teenage) dealing with a ton of insecurities and issues to among with the majority who they are not able to relate to. Why are their unique potential denied and not given a chance to actualized? CONS 1) This might result in inequality and promote racial segregation within the academic environment. I am not sure how exactly this works, read the attached article for more info. 2) Self esteem issues for gifted children when they occasionally score less marks than their peers. 3) Classifying children as gifted or otherwise is immoral, because all children are supposed to be treated equally. Thoughts? Please be clear, articulate and think well through all the consequences before replying, thanks.

Its absolutely possible to act normal for the sake of fitting in Social situation and even necessary. All social skills can be trained by sufficient practice, although it may not be enough to match that of a natural extrovert. But the same is not true for the skills you have as an autist. Such skills are mostly genetic and cannot be trained. A few general points: • Autists will excel in STEM or any other quantitative fields. That's the most of your strengths lie. • The amount of information you receive from talking to a high IQ autistic person is usually one point of information per sentance. They don't speak in emotionally empty rhetorics that doesn't mean anything. • As far as writing is concerned, less people willing to read your material. Because people are interested in reading platitudes with emotionally charged content. Building an audience will be a struggle when you are always clear in your articulation. I am saying this from my personal experience. In other words, if you want to build a huge audience, speak like Trump. • Autists have a tendency to misread the mind of people. (Sheldon Cooper from Big Bang theory). This can make you quite socially awkward struggling to fit in. Thankfully this can be trained. You will also have a tendency to correct people when they are wrong. Resist this tendency. Agree with them so that they don't fight you. • You struggle with emotions and neuroticism, especially if you are a woman. You tend to think highly rationally at all levels, which ironically leading you to be an emotional mess. You are also naive in most of the social situations and you don't feel like you have any control or authority. As I have said in the beginning, being an Autist is a super power. But you need to bring a few little changes to yourself so that your potential don't come back to hurt you as was the case with a good number of high IQ scientists.

Your ability to completely immerse in a task allows you to see more connections than others. This allows for faster problem solving and deeper analysis. Functional autists are also usually highly conscientious and hardworking.
