While I think you're correct that 100% proof is impossible, I don't think it's unethical to claim knowledge without 100% proof, and I don't think it's necessarily bias either.
Do you know that it's not proven?
Do you know that only correlation is established?
Do you know that it's bias?
I...
It sounds like social anxiety disorder? I'd got to a shrink and see what they think.
Drinking can ease mild anxiety temporarily, but unless you've learned how to handle yourself you're likely going to go and fuck up in the most regrettable ways. People are idiots when they first start drinking...
I majored in psychology. I'm not sure if I'd exchange it for something else, but I'd like to get some political science, sociology, engineering, business, and economics under my belt.
Maybe some neuroscience too, but that'd largely be reinforcing the areas I've already covered.
To be clear, I was asking why people seem to be obsessed with it beyond its value in predicting academic and occupational success, as well as cognitive decline/deficits.
It's not as bad as it was, because a lot of the people who talked about IQ have left us. At the time, it seemed to me like...
There're two reasons I can think of:
Sometimes people are oblivious to the reasons they say things. Sometimes they think they're saying a joke, but they're testing the social waters for what's okay to talk about, or trying to wiggle their way around the social hierarchy. They don't think to...
But you promoted someone who doesn't agree with women's rights, undermining your own intended goal. So I'm pointing that out to you because the context you're providing doesn't make sense given the point you're trying to make.
See how Serac's response was about lefts and tolerance, not...
Most progressives don't have a problem thinking Islam is wrong about women, if we're assuming that Islam's views are the regressive ones that are constantly discussed in media.
It's not a very strong gotcha at all. Admittedly some don't really get it and get flustered when asked probing...
Just to be clear, the author of that video thinks that women shouldn't have the option to choose who they sleep with - he's not some centrist who's open mindedly just calling it how he sees it. He's an extreme conservative who's pretending that it's a troll when he genuinely believes regressive...
When I know I'm right? Then generally... I'm less engaged tbh? Why does it matter so much that you convince them? I get super engaged in arguments if someone is pushing their beliefs on me, or if I'm not sure where I stand, but if I'm confident in my position I can let it go.
Also, you've...
The internet exists. Libraries are clumsy by comparison.
Stuff like this does help, but there are diminishing returns. You're also not guaranteed to spend your time productively.
School also doesn't really stop you if you're not invested in it. I used to read books under my desk during class...
I'm sure you know your drug situation better than I do. It is super weird how much you talk about drugs and your drug taking experiences if you don't do drugs often though. But whatever, I'm happy to be wrong.
The mental health comment wasn't meant as an accusation. Most people here have poor...
I know I'm not the best person for you to hear this from, we tend not to get along, and historically we haven't treated each other with respect. I feel compelled to step in because I think Jansen has you mispegged, and is forcing you to defend against claims that, while not unfounded, are...
I think it's important, and that (for me) aesthetic concerns tend to be more of a manifestation of imperfect self-discipline than a legitimate challenge.
If you've chosen to be disciplined in working towards goals you have accepted, freedom is not an issue.
Pedantry is typically a losing social strat. It's self-defeating. It's usually seen as a weird dominance thing and people watching are more forgiving of the correctee than the corrector.
If someone is incorrect about something and you want to bring their attention to it, phrase it as a...
I don't disagree with anything stated in OP
but also
Explicit logic is a different cognitive system to the one we use for socialisation. To the extent people realise you're thinking in explicit terms about the subtle implicit complexity of socialisation, they'll tend to implicitly reject your...
I basically agree with OP, though it was a bit wordy.
IQ is a good predictor of success (or is good for a psychological construct anyway). But for most of the conversations I see on the internet, it'd be better to ask "are you successful?" than ask someone their IQ. What you have done is...
What were your thoughts on the first two?
I haven't seen the third, but I enjoyed the other two. Not because they were super deep or thought provoking, but because they knew what they were and concentrated on being exactly that. I can't remember either of them trying to be funny?
Nope. Pikachu is just the most popular point of reference in pokemon.
I never played yellow (only the rich kids got that version, I was stuck with a second hand copy of blue during that period). Last one I played was emerald which I thought was a considerable improvement despite the lackluster...
Is your eyes being blurry the same thing as processing speed? My vision isn't blurry, it just takes a little longer for me to register what's happening. It's not really noticeable until I'm forced to do complex reflexive actions.
It'd be kinda funny if you've got a vision problem not a visual...
How bad are you?
My visual processing is quite poor for novel stimuli, but for predictable stimuli it's good. I'm terrible at fast computer games with a lot going on, but I read pretty deece.
Entry requirement for the job is lack of self-awareness. If an asshole thinks they're an asshole, they've just got edgy self-esteem issues in disguise.
Change my mind.
Snakes and other large reptiles. Parasites to a lesser extent, they just freak me the fuck out really.
I have anxiety about other things, but it's not on the same level.
People do all the time. That doesn't mean you can.
Childhood is almost necessarily a state of selfishness. Adulthood and the responsibility that comes with it usually means an adjustment.
Also, a lot of the time when people are acting selfish it just means they've got other shit going on. If...
I work childcare, and almost never get sick. I'm no superhuman, I just use sanitiser whenever I move around, don't touch my face unless I've just used sanitiser, and don't do anything obviously stupid.
I can't require other people to take responsibility for their sickness, because kids don't...
I basically agree. In theory government is supposed to be able to step in and adjust the capitalist system to prioritise certain things such as climate change (with a carbon credit system for instance). But government is corrupt and busy and subject to the whims of an uneducated population as...
