Genau wie heute und ... immer eigentlich. Die einzige Möglichkeit Reiche ärmer zu machen scheint zu sein den Gesamtwohlstand zu vernichten a la Sozialismus.

tansim

batiatus did know.

  1. when selonious approaches asher, he refuses the offer. Only later does asher (on instruction of batiatus) seek out selonious with information about the whore.

  2. a random stabbing in a whorehouse really isnt batiatus style.

  3. there is no indication of batiatus not knowing when they talk about the head. in fact, batiatus says something like "let him think himself safe for yet a bit longer".

  4. They say it explicitly when they talk about tying the lose end with the man spartacus killed.

tansim

why not?

tansim

they werent bombing sdf

tansim

why?

tansim

is there a prioritized list of things that need to be done?

tansim

No, they are clearly rockets.

tansim

why wait?

tansim

he's going to anyone who will have him, for legitimacy.

tansim

similarly, overwrite the entrypoint with 0xeb 0xfe (infinite loop) to trap execution without raising exceptions...

tansim

article says otherwise

tansim

auto(x)

why not just use std::move?

tansim

Depends. But worth noting that diversity was the downfall of "readheads" in the first place.

tansim

You said it yourself, when they resettled a tribe, they split it up and sent different parts of it far apart from each other. Because they knew the only way forward was total assimilation.

tansim

America, for the longest time, was largely white+christian. Now that actual diversity increases, you can see the falling star of America.

tansim

The point of PR was to suppress all those internal conflict by brute force. That can work for a period of time. But also, the diversity was mostly the composition of different homogeneous blocks.

tansim

Ethnic and religious diversity always ends in war, violence and terror. This is because humans are tribalist creatures and will sooner or later default to their instincts.

tansim

There are several points there.

  1. The Ethnicites present in geographical locations change over time, this particularly applies to North Africa and generally the Arab area. Second, the average IQ of an ethnicity can of course also change over time. Remember we all came from monkeys.

  2. IQ favors economic success in particular today, resp since the industrial revolution. Today, the success/wealth of a nation has a lot to do with science, math and other "hard" things, rather than fertility of your land and more "manual labor" kind of factors. Not to mention natural resources, spices, gold etc.

  3. If you would devise a test that perfectly fits "general success", you will find that it strongly, albeit not perfectly, correlates with iq.

Do you not think that the relatively differences we see in IQ differences between races could be way better attributed to the massive disparity in all the environmental factors? Even if heritability is the most important factor, do you not think it is way more likely that all races on average have a genetic baseline that is pretty similar, but that education opportunities and the like cause the differences?

As I said, there is no reason to speculate, we have studied this, and there are scientific methods to quantify it. IQ is just another property. You can do twin studies or observe adopted children, for example. The data is clear. And Why should the IQ not differ? It's just another property to nature. And of course we have a base-line that is "pretty similar" just not nearly as similar as you seem to believe for some reason.

Black people in the US are a good example, and in fact they do show exactly the data I quoted above (which is why i like to quote it) - 2/3 heritability, 1/3 early education + stable source of food and similar social factors. Also you are underestimating the avg IQ of Africans and I am willing to bet any increase from the 70s can be attributed to Americans counting anything that is not 100% white as black. Though I would love to see that data.

tansim

It's true that education, in particular early education until puberty, is the second most important factor in fulfilling ones, let's say, IQ-potential. The first factor remains heritability. This is a scientific fact and not controversial btw.

You're not giving a definition for "actual intelligence" but it's certainly true that raw IQ isnt the only factor in determining the, say, economic success of a people or nation. However, it is a necessary prerequisite.

tansim

This is false on several levels, for example gunpoweder and the protofirearm were invented in china, which also was an immensely large empire, 1000s years of chinese history they never chose a great fleet despite having all the technology, china suffered extremely under colonization despite outperforming Europe in IQ, look at china now, and lastly IQ is 60%-80% heritable.

tansim

You can say that with every conflict or ideology. The facts are that humans are tribal creatures and consequently the world is full of ethnic violence.

tansim

Usually many of those fall together.

tansim

with minimal friction

easier said than done. After 20 years UN are still hanging out in Kosovo for example.

tansim

How does it give us greater resilience? It has mostly given us division, war and massacre, especially in Eastern Europe.

tansim

There is no need for complete isolation, as evidenced by there being plenty of ethnicities around. Also Japans economy is set much more brightly than western Europes longterm, because Europe is experiencing a significant drop in IQ due to migration, and the insane European wealth is linked to IQ rather than natural resources.
