Surely this is completely logicalal if IQ is largely heritable. The smarter richer parents are more likely (But not guaranteed) to have smarter children. So it would be completely expected for the smarted person you know to come from a rich

People who say there's no such thing as race are complete charlatans playing semantic word games.

How can you possibly explain the world getting massively materially richer then ? Are the new drugs we create immertial ? The better faster processor abstract ? The energy we produce unreal ?

I also subscribe to a testing pyramid but I think it's commonly upside down IMO. You should have a few very granular unit tests for where they make the most sense (Known dangerous areas, or where they are very easy to write eg. analysi

I really hate this line of thinking. Your blatently encorauging politicians to lie to voters. Campaign on a platform of comprimise and sensible polices to attract moderate voters... And then just completely ignore everything you said you wo

I mean I've routeninly seen estimates be 3-5x longer that projected. It's up to you if you thing that's an accurate enough estimate or not.

"to some, some lives are worth 100 times more than others." I feel like that's true for most people/all most everyone ? You've got the thought experiment of: How many strangers lives would you trade for a family mem

I'm sure there are examples of abuse. But I honestly don't see the problem in principle. If a court issues you a fine and you simply ignore it, that's not a situation society can just ignore. If you are truly unable to pay, t

Interestingly rising global CO2 levels significantly boost crop production. Wonder how that will offset potentially more extreme weather.

I think you're far more optimistic about our capacity for conducting empirical research than I am. We continuously see huge failures and fraud in science. Especially in medicine, where we've spent billions and tens of thousands of

I always find the framing of these discussions very sad. Nuclear doesn't have to be expensive, there are many historic examples of safe reactors built for very reasonable costs. (French and earlier American reactors especially.) Unfort

When discussing market forces and renewables keep in mind, Levelized cost of electricity is a largely useless metric because it doesn't take into account the prohibitively high costs of storage and redundant infrastructure needed for i
