Yes. Trying to make up a new way to redistribute the products among the whole society is pointless, if the means of production are still owned privately.

As someone who agrees with Stalin in, well, most of the questions (with a few exceptions, some of them are quite important, but it's not that important to explain there), what could I say?

  1. There are newer papers on IQ and race, and a lot of critique of that one.

  2. Ability to solve IQ tests can differ in a single person, for like 10+ points. https://www.reuters.com/article/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/study-finds-poverty-reduces-brain-power-idUSL6N0GU1PO/

  3. My dad have scored around 170, and considers IQ tests pointless.

  4. I agree with your point about the male-looking face.

  5. It's pointless to pretend that LGBT+ is not an organisation with ideology. By the way, their ideology is too backwards and reactionary in relation to what do WE plan, regarding the sex and family.

  6. Yes, setting a question of racial IQ dependency is bad. Human intelligence is dependent on its development around their whole life and usage. Making such questions, you begin to act to create proofs for them (self-fulfilling prediction, aha), and thus go against the basic principles of democracy.

  7. Yes, "high IQ jews" goes into the same dumpster.

  1. You seem to miss the point. It's not about concepts. The GPT-4 is advertised as a system that can work with both text and images. It doesn't. And isn't being developed any further, beyond increasing the amount of symbols and other quantitative stuff.

No matter the amount of gigabytes it writes per second, I'm not afraid of something that sees the world as text. +1 point to capitalism for not making something that is overly expensive to develop and may doom the world.

  1. Thanks, I'll read.
