- a lack of positive and an abundance of negative examples in their neighborhood and community
- lack of education
- lower average IQ

in this order.






Why do you keep posting those vids from this con artist? For the last couple of days, he made videos about "Coronavirus will spread around the world, soon, your community will be on lockdown too", followed by a link to his homepage where you can find a "how to prepare yourself for weeks of lockdown"-tutorial behind a paywall.

17k confirmed cases now, up 35% from yesterday. Probably over 100,000 actual infected though. Could get bad for China

We are lucky we only have a few isolated cases which can be contained. Use your brain, if this shit hits other countries in a similar fashion which over time is not unlikely then indeed prepare for further lockdowns.

Why would you pay for common sense. Your point has absolutely nothing to do with this virus outbreak. You might just as well stay away from jsp, they try to sell you fgs

Most first-world countries have better safety standards and hygiene than China.

The coronavirus isn't an existential threat to China, the EU, UK, USA, etc. by any stretch. The biggest impact it could have is spreading quickly in a major market like India that severely curtailing economic activity resulting in another worldwide recession.

The fact that the guy is having a monetary interest in people freaking out about the virus puts his other videos, the ones where he assesses its seriousness and threat level, into heavy doubt. By profiting from it, he gave up his status as a neutral pundit; his perspective has to be taken with a big grain of salt.

The comparison to jsp is bogus, since jsp is just a platform and doesnt scare anyone into investing in fg.

Just got to work and everyone looks like shit.

Washed my hands >10x this hour lol.

It's the middle of winter/flu season, and it's the monday after the Super Bowl, lol.
But yeah, working in a hospital, I'd wash my hands a lot too.

What we need is a virus with delays like AIDS that can be transmitted like FLU.

China is more prepared for this than other countries. They've dealt with SARS before and the people simply do as the CP tells them or else ^^
For most first world countries this virus will be their worst nightmare. Just wait till this virus becomes more wide spread and governments start to lock down cities.

I think we're in for the long haul tbh. This virus will prove very hard to put down considering it's characteristics.




That is your feeling then, you don't like the guy. Has nothing to do with the severity of this virus, like I said before.

JSP is a gaming platform trying to make a buck out of something that Njag doesn't own. Same fucking thing.

The more research I do into the subject the more I am skeptical of IQ's application in any but the most extreme circumstances. Like, yeah, a person with 60 is gonna be slower than a person with an average score, but beyond super obvious differences I don't think there's much meaning behind IQ.

I'm gonna list a few things that have made me increasingly skeptical of the correlations between IQ and success or good decision making
1. You can't really differentiate the genetic component of IQ heritability with it's environmental factors. The best studies, being twin studies, still have a lot of issues behind them.
2. IQ has increasingly been shown to be significantly variable with external factors, such as financial instability, food instability, training at test taking, home stress, etc.
3. The fact that IQ isn't correlated alone with positive outcomes, but merely facilitates other qualities in success, which can then be explained by simply having those other qualities and then tending to be in a more secure environment, etc. which means you just had an advantage to begin with.

Anyway, I'm not an expert, but the more I look into it the more IQ as a concept seems to not be as useful as most people who do a little research think it is. I recently learned that the WW2 American military "IQ Test" was in fact not an IQ test by any means and has just been extrapolated post-hoc to infer IQ scores. Utter garbage methodology. Then I learned that a lot of things like this actually came from some fairly right-wing authors who totally misrepresented the state of literature on IQ to make far-right policy proposals and their book just happened to make it into the public zeitgeist.
