@meglide You might enjoy this. I don't agree with him on some of his research, but his general critique is accurate enough - unless you are a religious scientist. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1TerTgDEgUE&t=1s

That is a banned TED talk.

okay well I did the check that I promised and 1600 samples out of ~30k is enough to say with good confidence that those ballots won't change the outcome

@Whithers you seem to confuse science with scientism.

very common confusion.

Actually, I separate them quite well. We simply might disagree on by whom the scientisming is being done.

You didnt above.

I suggest you need a little more formal training?

And if you smoke the Ganja, could it be that for all practical purposes, the Ganja is smoking you?

Studying linguistics ruined my spelling. Any sound will do once you dabble in your 8th language you will never speak.

I lack any experience from which to speculate a conclusion.

okay I'm ignoring the philosophical here (if that's what it is) and I'm talking numbers

I do think that the species Homo sapiens ssp. sapiens had a much better acumen about reality as a mean of distribution than what is had today.

maybe I'll go do that in <#771201221145919499> channel

Then perhaps you should read: The Myth of Invariance by Earnest G. McClain. Lots of math to do there.

@Whithers Its wrongly clasified. Either Pan sapiens sapiens or Homo troglodytes.

The difference isnt great enough for two genii.

Which numbers in specific are
you courting?

@Doc Quite probably. However, human females are too discriminating to ever test that hypothesis. 😉

They may call a man an ape, but they only date the great ones, never the chimps.

dont confuse species with genus.

@Doc Metaphors are never confusing: They are conceptualing.

mensa, mensam, mensarum, mensis, mensae!!!

mensa shmensa

Summon me for Latin?

i've never met a mensa member that wasnt insufferable

That explains why you haven't responded back in DM. :(

lol

@ImNotGas That is the reference. 😉

@ImNotGas The mensa test can be used as AQ

the higher you score on a mensa test, the more probable it is that you are autistic.

Their tests are designed (badly) around the specific fragment of IQ tests where the high functioning autists score massive.

Thus the correlation between mensa-member and xtremely low SQ

the ability to think -what they call logically - increases if your brain is incapable of Baysian statistics.

i thought they just based off of a normal iq test

I can identify with that... When I was school age, I was tested by a school counselor. She referred me to a new district program and I spent the better part of a Saturday getting tested by a gaggle of child psychologist. Those results were put in my permanent school record and I was never treated the same in school again. Wish I had never taken those ridiculous tests.

@TaLoN132 Psychologists arent psychiatrists and should not dabble with diagnostics.

I was a kid... I didn't check their cards - they may have been psychiatrists.
