If white people are adapted to cold climates does that mean I dont need a heavy coat when going outside?

2019-11-13 17:31:35 UTC  

If you get frostbite ur non-white confirmed tbh

2019-11-13 17:31:43 UTC  

How cold do I need to tolerate as a huwhite male?

2019-11-13 17:32:07 UTC  

being white means you have enough fore-thought to obtain winter clothing in advance of winter

Abstract
Experts (N max = 102 answering) on intelligence completed a survey about IQ research, controversies, and the media. The survey was conducted in 2013 and 2014 using the Internet-based Expert Questionnaire on Cognitive Ability (EQCA). In the current study, we examined the background of the experts (e.g., nationality, gender, religion, and political orientation) and their positions on intelligence research, controversial issues, and the media. Most experts were male (83%) and from Western countries (90%). Political affiliations ranged from the left (liberal, 54%) to the right (conservative, 24%), with more extreme responses within the left-liberal spectrum. Experts rated the media and public debates as far below adequate. Experts with a left (liberal, progressive) political orientation were more likely to have positive views of the media (around r= |.30|). In contrast, compared to female and left (liberal) experts, male and right (conservative) experts were more likely to endorse the validity of IQ testing (correlations with gender, politics: r= .55, .41), the g factor theory of intelligence (r= .18, .34), and the impact of genes on US Black-White differences (r= .50, .48). The paper compares the results to those of prior expert surveys and discusses the role of experts’ backgrounds, with a focus on political orientation and gender. An underrepresentation of viewpoints associated with experts’ background characteristics (i.e., political views, gender) may distort research findings and should be addressed in higher education policy.

Yes, the generational thing is retarded, completely fake and gay and invented by the media

2019-11-14 17:09:33 UTC  

OK Boomer

2019-11-14 17:11:23 UTC  

I think generations can be useful to talk about with respect to things like tech/tele-communications---e.g. for the US
Boomer: Employed pre-Internet
Gen X: possibly employed at time of first dotcom boom
Millennial: Experienced both non-internet life and internet life
Zoomers: Only know life with tablets and smartphones

2019-11-14 17:11:49 UTC  

This ^

2019-11-14 17:12:08 UTC  

The generational dialogue has been disintegrating since forever

2019-11-14 17:12:29 UTC  

On the other hand, you might meet a 30 year old 3rd worlder who is more like a zoomer because they grew up only with FB=Internet and stuff

2019-11-14 17:12:43 UTC  

or you might meet a super tech literate boomer who is more like gen x'er

2019-11-14 17:12:54 UTC  

WE no longer get knowledge passed from gen to gen. Kids are becoming Tabula Rasa and that lets (((someone else))) fill their heads with fake history

2019-11-14 17:13:26 UTC  

Tabula Apple Firmware with Gov't Backdoors 😦

2019-11-14 17:16:07 UTC  

there is this guy known for a lot of Linux/computer stuff -> https://lukesmith.xyz/
...he makes a lot of boomer references (e.g. "unaboomer") and does stuff like goes out into the middle of nowhere to live disconnected from the Internet

2019-11-14 17:16:45 UTC  

one of the big messages there is that the Boomer pre-Internet experience has some sort of wisdom in it that is lost to Millennial and beyond

2019-11-14 17:19:27 UTC  

^^^
this is a roundabout say that the generational talk in terms of technology is useful for experiencing how education/raising kids/values/etc got outsourced away from the family to big companies, advertisers, etc. "Boomer" or "millennial" describes some very real social phenomena... but those labels can of course be applied in chaotic, nonsensical ways

2019-11-14 18:07:09 UTC  

^ agreed, name-calling and snarky retorts are not constructive or helpful

2019-11-14 18:08:18 UTC  

lol I guess it is just armchair social science; it is useful to have terms to point to things

2019-11-14 18:09:18 UTC  

I try to at least offer one sort of definition (i.e. defining generation with respect to technologies) to put some substance on those labels, which people will continue to use for at least a while
