Just for moneys sake

2018-04-18 18:34:11 UTC

((()))

2018-04-18 18:34:48 UTC

They certainly want to keep the charcoled people dumb ollie

2018-04-18 18:35:06 UTC

Glad you're here with us being all woke and shit

2018-04-18 18:35:29 UTC

Deepr respect for everyone in this server

2018-04-18 18:36:26 UTC

If the government would just abolish income tax and go back to using tariffs, we'd be better off

2018-04-18 18:37:39 UTC

The poor would actually not be as poor because they can actually save up

2018-04-18 18:37:54 UTC

Welfare is the problem

2018-04-18 18:37:59 UTC

It doesnt pay to work anymore

2018-04-18 18:39:36 UTC

Even then, if you had a little side job, you could save up indefinitely

2018-04-18 18:40:42 UTC

But they worm

2018-04-18 18:40:44 UTC

Wont

2018-04-18 18:41:04 UTC

They get used to just getting by

2018-04-18 18:41:26 UTC

I see it so much where I'm from

2018-04-18 18:42:16 UTC

Free food free phones free housing

2018-04-18 18:42:19 UTC

Why bother working

2018-04-18 18:42:29 UTC

Ans then they wonder why their kids start doing the same thing

2018-04-18 18:42:38 UTC

And it just fuckunf continues indefinitely

2018-04-18 18:42:44 UTC

They talk about privilege

2018-04-18 18:42:47 UTC

@Seatoast If one wants their education system to be one-size-fits-all, actually be well-regulated, and produce the required outcomes, they'd best be ready to absolutely flood children with a truly dizzying arrays of cognition-enhancing small molecules.

2018-04-18 18:42:48 UTC

Vut that shit was earned

2018-04-18 18:42:58 UTC

By either your parents or your grand parents and so on

2018-04-18 18:43:16 UTC

So it's up to you to be the one to give toue kids a better shot then you had

2018-04-18 18:43:30 UTC

Hell, can't they write a book or write some compositions to publish? I've got several ragtime pieces I wrote on my computer that I could possibly sell at music stores or something. Easy $$$

2018-04-18 18:43:31 UTC

And them your great grand kids will be the "privileged ones"

2018-04-18 18:43:43 UTC

They can man

2018-04-18 18:43:48 UTC

But they wont

2018-04-18 18:43:54 UTC

The drive isn't there

2018-04-18 18:44:02 UTC

They dont wsnt to be the ones to sacrifice for their kids

2018-04-18 18:44:06 UTC

So they can do better

2018-04-18 18:44:13 UTC

Akd then their kids can do better

2018-04-18 18:44:33 UTC

So until one of the generations decides they will be the ones to sacrifice them the bloodline will stay poor

2018-04-18 18:44:42 UTC

My grandparents were dirt fuckung poor

2018-04-18 18:45:01 UTC

Vut they worked hard as fuck in fields and driving trucks to give my mom a better shot

2018-04-18 18:45:14 UTC

And then my mom got a better job in turn giving me a better shot

2018-04-18 18:45:25 UTC

That's what happened with me.

2018-04-18 18:45:27 UTC

And if I have kids they will have a better shot then me

2018-04-18 18:45:33 UTC

And so on

2018-04-18 18:46:25 UTC

If you're in a shit situation you have to he the one to sacrifice so that 2-3 generations later your kids are making twice as much as you before they hit 22

2018-04-18 18:47:11 UTC

Sadly, heritable characteristics also determine what one makes.

2018-04-18 18:48:08 UTC

I'm hoping to be fruitful and multiply by 28,29

2018-04-18 18:48:32 UTC

A world in which one could buy a higher IQ in a bottle would be a more equal one.

2018-04-18 18:49:07 UTC

Mainly because it will have a vanishingly small effect on the already very smart, and greater effects the dumber the patient.

2018-04-18 18:49:31 UTC

Or we could just genetically alter people so they don't suck

2018-04-18 18:49:31 UTC

(Drugs that modify cognitive abilities tend to work in this way.)

2018-04-18 18:49:52 UTC

Make stem cells great again

2018-04-18 18:50:09 UTC

If you think tablets will get people screeching, germline editing would be something else entirely.

2018-04-18 18:50:27 UTC

Its much eauser to alter your will to work and make it then modify your IQ

2018-04-18 18:51:02 UTC

IQ is mostly heritable and efforts to increase it have thus far failed.

2018-04-18 18:52:09 UTC
2018-04-18 18:53:44 UTC

Huge, bipartisan programs in the US all met with unequivocal failure.

2018-04-18 18:54:04 UTC

For the simple reason that there is not much one can do.

2018-04-18 18:54:32 UTC

If you show your kids the will to work

2018-04-18 18:54:34 UTC

IQ is highly heritable, and only gets more heritable the older you are.

2018-04-18 18:54:42 UTC

And you give them a better shot then you had

2018-04-18 18:54:45 UTC

They will do the same

2018-04-18 18:54:48 UTC

Yes.

2018-04-18 18:54:54 UTC

Well, not always, but yes.

2018-04-18 18:54:55 UTC

But you have to always instill that idea

2018-04-18 18:55:11 UTC

You can duck that up just as quick by giving your kids whatever they want

2018-04-18 18:55:26 UTC

By not holding them accountable for the actions

2018-04-18 18:55:38 UTC

Not giving them responsibility then punishing them for not meeting them

2018-04-18 18:56:01 UTC

Something as simple as getting them a puppy

2018-04-18 18:56:36 UTC

@Seatoast Games designed to enhance IQ do not work.

2018-04-18 18:57:38 UTC

High intensity first person shooters are certainly not designed to do that, yet they enhance visual acuity and IQ.

2018-04-18 18:57:52 UTC

(Where games designed to do so failed.)

2018-04-18 18:58:22 UTC

Give your kids some some really hard FPSs @Seatoast.

2018-04-18 18:59:04 UTC

Unlike a whole bunch of other woo that will be pushed on you, that shit actually has quite a significant effect.

2018-04-18 18:59:15 UTC

And is actually fun.

2018-04-18 19:00:23 UTC
2018-04-18 19:01:34 UTC

I'm serious, in the paper I read it was a 6 point enhancement, which is huge for things like this.

2018-04-18 19:10:38 UTC

I agree

2018-04-18 19:12:52 UTC

Normally even 2 points is huge.

2018-04-18 19:15:31 UTC

Especially compared to the 0 points that such efforts normally give you.

2018-04-18 19:16:23 UTC

An even more interesting example is synesthesia training, which failed to give the trainees synesthesia.

2018-04-18 19:16:41 UTC

But guess what it did give them? An average 12 point increase in IQ.

2018-04-18 19:16:54 UTC

Which is completely unheard of.

2018-04-18 19:17:31 UTC

The common factor I see emerging in interventions that actually increase IQ is that they were never designed to increase IQ.

2018-04-18 20:18:03 UTC

When it comes to passing on your genes, epigenetics will give you a headache.

2018-04-20 16:37:41 UTC

a fucking party is suing the biggest country in the world

2018-04-20 16:38:20 UTC

also pls dont show us breaking the fucking law

2018-04-20 16:38:26 UTC

or we will sue

2018-04-20 16:56:09 UTC

I don't see how the DNC can come back from this

2018-04-20 17:50:56 UTC

RIP DNC

2018-04-20 20:21:39 UTC

Come back from what?

2018-04-21 00:07:01 UTC

trying to sue a country, an activist group and a political campaign because they're asshurt that they lost the election @ebowden

2018-04-21 02:38:50 UTC

Will it actually hurt their campaign?
You never know when you might get an activist judge.

2018-04-21 03:45:11 UTC

I guess it depends on what court they're bringing it to

2018-04-21 03:45:46 UTC

but even if they win, which I highly doubt, I feel like public opinion is going to turn heavily against them

2018-04-23 23:07:42 UTC

Based on his last name, which is Armenian, the attacker could be a Muslim convert

2018-04-23 23:33:37 UTC

apparently, the police knew of the attacker

2018-04-23 23:33:47 UTC

Of course they did

2018-04-23 23:52:53 UTC

I have a friend from Toronto that's more concerned with an ice hockey game than with this ffs

2018-04-23 23:54:08 UTC

Don't worry, they'll be culturally enriched soon enough

9 KIA with just a van? We need more van regulations.
