Unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet
Dear reader I've been led to believe the internet loves failure. Well I unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet one. It's a big failure, so lets take unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet apart here for amusement. This is not your garden variety, "walked into a wall" failure. It is more of a "was told to go North and walked into a wall to the South and continued trying to go through wall by gnawing it with my teeth" kind of failure.
So be forewarned, this won't be a pretty sight. First a bit of backstory. I was trawling the usual adolescent chat rooms and was led once again down into the valley of Unqualified Reservations. In particular this post. Mencius is worth readingeven when he isn't attacking some of the most important issues of our day which are all too often unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet aside.
Uninstalling a Cathedral is an apt title for his work, as he labors at gently getting people out of their ideological shells to take a fresh look at things. And if we can't remove these unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet and open ourselves to the idea that just maybe what we have believed is wrong, then we have no courage and are doomed to never see the truth. Moldbug builds an image of Academia, or Universitania, or some-such label to describe his own image of something thusly related.
His critiques in the genre are good and previously linked herebut sadly deteriorate on occasion into straw-man punch-em-ups. For example in unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet case:. Its belief in the statistical uniformity of the human brain across all subpopulations presently living is absolute.
It has put all its chips on this one. I don't ever recall any academic in any field suggesting that the human brain is uniform across any subpopulation. We are equally welcome in the cathedral, perhaps? Anyway my purpose here is not to nitpick one of Moldbug's many ramblings. These are what they are, we enjoy them and learn from them or move on. In this case it was one particular phrase that caught my eye, and brought us here today:.
There is plenty of evidence against human neurological uniformity. Wait, don't click the link yet! What do you think it will be? What would be evidence against neurological uniformity? How about something like this? Clear evidence, proving the point. It doesn't have to get uglier, but it could. There unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet severe neurological deficiencies out there. Let's face it, we can't all be Lucas Etter. Especially not the guy who wrote Unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet Diving Bell and the Butterfly.
His neurological nonconformity was so great he was quadraplegic, yet he wrote a fabulous book by signal-blinking with one eye. Illuminating evidence against human neurological uniformity exists in there. So why on Earth did Mencius link that monstrosity OK you can look now but be careful it's ugly and not something like my examples above? It is tempting to write it off to the man being busy and sloppy.
He certainly admits as much, and a bit of humility is necessary at the fountainhead of intellectual pursuit. But lets give him a rather large benefit of the doubt. Is he perhaps referring to something more subtle than differences in neurological hardware amongst the homo sampiens? Maybe he is hinting to us that there is something more important than biological hardware, unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet rather where it is placed and how. We have all enjoyed spending some time with someone who might not be the sharpest tack on the board.
Not taking one's self too seriously is a great contagious joy. Moldbug's link shows a far worse failure: The kids in the special olympics know they aren't the fastest runners on the planet. They also know they are running and not flying spaceships. But the authors of this "Race differences in Cognitive Unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet appear to be completely under an illusion that they are intellectuals or somehow clever.
That somebody might care. Dear reader, do you think that people of any race could be this retarded? Perhaps we can even extend Mencius' benefit of the doubt to the American Psychological Association, who published this thing in "Psychology, Public Policy, and Law". Indeed, the article is helpful in understanding broken psychology.
Very very fucking broken psychology. The article appears to be written with some efforts to be racist. It fails miserably in this regard. To see how it isn't racist, consider the following scenario, presenting an example of classical racism. Rather than use an example of a particular race you have heard of I will use one called unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet "green shirt".
As you will see it doesn't matter. Traits don't need to be colored or even identifiable to work with the tactic of racism, but lets stick with "green shirt" for now:.
Interrupting again You know green shirts motherfuckers all smell like dead fish. Dead rotting fish, green shirt. The authors of the failed article under review today play the role of Thug 2 here, in imagining a statement used as part of a tactic to be a scientific avenue of study on its own.
However not only is there not a Thug 1 that cares enough to smack them, but they also continue down the incorrect path despite continued smacking into the wall of reason.
This is based on genetic analysis. A few decades unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet Polymerase Chain Reaction and we are up to our modern and oh-so-useful metric: So, lets take a massive chunk of continent, holding millions of people of remarkably diverse cultures and physical statures and colors of skinand call them, or rather anybody ancestral with them - a single genetic group.
OK then, nice basis for a scientific analysis there guys! Any elementary school student capable of looking at a map can see that these guys have no axioms, no definitions - nothing with which to build a theorem or make a measurement.
Modern geneticists often argue that we all have our ancestors from sub-saharan Africa, but we don't need to go there. I mean seriously, I was unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet least expecting a high school analysis of probabilistic genetic variance away from some National Geographic selected prototypical African man.
But no, not even that. To unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet honest it's just as well. Makes the whole thing more comedic to be everywhere and always incompetent. Utility for what guys? Dear reader, can you guess what kind of utility is implied here without laughing? But wait, they have measurements!
This just gets better and better, wait for it We measured IQ in Whites! These authors sho did fall into unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet mother of all tarbabies set by Brer Rabbit hisself. IQ is a thing guys, really! If you are unfamiliar with the terminology, there is a word for somebody who thinks their cognitive ability can be described with a scalar unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet Don't be confused however, there is such a thing as an IQ test it could be any test really, ooh g factor sounds good lets use that and there is also such a thing as a score on a test.
Lucas Etter got 4. How do you do on that test? Personally my time is embarrassingly slow, more like Probably because I have ancestors from sub-saharan Africa Why sub-saharan? Another potentially interesting topic the authors refuse to address, surprise surprise. We can only assume it is because if you go North of the desert you get closer to the shining tower of orclandia which sees all and would be angry if we spoke poorly of it.
OK, you really have to suspend disbelief to continue with this, so perhaps it's a nice exercise for that. After you watch some flat-earth videos, practicing your cathedral-uninstall procedures, come back and try this one out:. I mean, lets ignore that the words mean different things in different places of the world, just pick one definition and move on, it doesn't matter which one unqualified reservations bitcoin wallet proceed.
Something about Africa or if you like choose another place, preferably one you know nothing about. Heck you could even use epidermal albedo I suppose even though these authors never mention it. Just pick some definition, a test battery or average or something, SATs or whatever, and move on. It's a thing, it's real, one can measure it with tests and it's not even important what those tests are, we're not going to mention them here. People wrote about it, it's real.
Can you get there? The thing just breaks irretrievably at this point and the pretend house of cards falls down in a big pile of rofl. Who gives a flying fuck guys? Even if your logic wasn't laughably broken every step of the way, what are you trying to do here? Even if it were a well written scientific study, this is at best a statistical curiosity.
