but i don't see how we can tie aliens into the election

@Doc usually I hope peoples wishes come true. Not this time.

(yet)

We have to find a way to tie this in somehow

lol

I bet Coast to Coast has figured out a way

Who do you guys think the aliens voted for 😂

the winner obviously

@Gypsy_Warlord I'm with you. It's also possible that our signatures project us as so primitive that we aren't worth the effort but it's an unnecessary gamble.

stahp

@Gypsy Here is your tie in and my political stance at once. A twofer!

timeless classic

That was from Dole and Clinton. Ahhh simpler times.

I read an article that said developed countries IQs are sliding back. So pretty soon that kind of comedy will be above a lot of people’s heads lol

Bob Dole parodied himself looks

reverse flynn effect?

Lol*

Yup

Obviously we are too successful

@Gypsy Indeed. Except for multitasking score.

That is increasing exponentially.

But language, deduction, math etc, is dropping back.

(NATO results)

Psychometrics aren't necessarily comprehensive or free of bias either.

@Doc on the multitasking note, the military has pivoted to specifically recruiting people good at multitasking (relatively good I suppose). So it seems like a semi permanent fundamental change.

Fair @Zuluzeit

Well people, I don’t know how much more we can say about this election. Aliens and IQs probably wraps it up lol

Lmao

@Gypsy Indeed. That is the interesting part of IQ tests, they are somewhat dependant on culture. Todays tests are children of tests developed for the G-generation. The Zoomers are culturally extremely different.

So one could argue that they are if more limited value now than in 1947.

even with revisions.

I have no issue with IQ tests but I don’t think the state should use them. I think employers should be allowed to use them though. But to me the best indicator of success is perseverance. It’s just hard to measure.

The state is dependent on them for military selection, @Gypsy Its what they were originally developed for.

but...off topic

> @Michele411 the problem I have with this sort of thing is that there is no evidence ... it sounds like ac conspiracy theory and I cannot differentiate it from something from a crazy person
@realz

Does not the legitimacy of a 3 star General that worked in DoD speaking on the subject?

Have you seen the screen grabs where thousands move from trump to biden?

We know about nsa from Bill binney and Snowden. Prior to it would sound like a big brother conspiracy.

We now know that trump campaign was spied on, wouldn't that have sounded like a conspiracy?

I suppose it makes sense for the military for expediency, but I probably would still lean towards the state just making an evaluation based on performance. Yeah I am probably against state use in call cases.

There is def a deep state which needs to be watched closely. Or disbanded lol

> Does not the legitimacy of a 3 star General that worked in DoD speaking on the subject?

He's been out for years. He is a partisan in the meantime. His information comes from talking to a Navy officer. He has no actual evidence to present us other than his word. And like I said, you can find lots of "former XYZ" saying all sorts of nonsense (just listen to coast to coast).

> Have you seen the screen grabs where thousands move from trump to biden?

No. I don't think this is necessarily related and that should be examined.

@Michele411 Michelle; if you sit down and watch 5 girls playing in their kindergarten, after 30 minutes you have seen a conspiracy. It is inherent to humans. The question is what conspiracies are real and which ones are made up as alternative to taking responsibility.
