Sad. I pirate 100% of my books. After i read them i purchase the physical copy. I buy more books when i can try them first! Its also enjoyable to have it open on your computer for when you have a moment.

the solution is just to fire bad cops. The future bad cops will get the picture. no way to really pre screen cops other than keeping out known criminals.

I mean LOL at comparing citations. http://libgen.rs/search.php?req=Arthur+R.+Jensen&column=auth... This is a good start. These books engage directly with the great bulk of modern IQ research.

Gould is right that the people he discuss were racist. But you shouldn't use his book as an argument against modern psychometrics since it doesn't deal with that much at al. In actuality Jensen's reputation has improved while

GPT4 is really bad at writing. It is noticeably generic.

Weird that that whole book is spent arguing against guys who worked like 120 years ago instead of confronting the voluminous modern work. "Of all the book's references, a full 27 percent precede 1900. Another 44 percent fall betwe

American white students at public schools do incredibly well on the international PISA test. Most private schools aren’t competitive and there aren’t many students in them.

Seems like the thing to do is just ban phones in schools. The authority is already there and you can see what affect it has.

Not actually that common for teachers to work two jobs. Also most americans have healthcare and the ones who dont are often young and dont consume much of it. Not saying its good. But some europeans think we live in some kind of mad max hel

Evidence of destitution in England? The basics are very cheap, even the "poor" there just want prepackaged food.

If you read the article you would see that the unions are the ones demanding a much larger than necessary number of employees. The unions are the political road block to change.

That actually perfectly describes the behavior of lower class predators(of all races!) who destroy their communities with violence and drugs

Id be surprised if 5% of college students "grow their souls" weirdly clueless thing to write. Not hard to find out that most people get business, psych and econ degrees. And even english or history majors half ass it just to get t

maybe i underestimated the number of calcanis types.

I mean they would have recovered 80-90+ percent of their assets without government support. Plus many would have been back stopped by VC. People are really reading a lot into the whining coming from Jason calcanis types

If solar and wind are better then thats what we should do. I wish though that even 1 of the many many trillions in debt we racked up went to nuclear plants. we could have had dozens of plants. prices would probably have gone done if there w

Basically every test has a time limit in school. No one save a small number of learning disabled kids struggles to finish in time. If it takes you the whole time you don't know it!

Legacy acceptances rates at Princeton are close to ten percent. Kids who get in to those schools often have high GPAs and test scores without tutors.

I support unions no question. Kind of weird though that there is no overlap pretty much between those who can start companies and those who want companies to share the wealth. There are millions of companies and basically none split profit
