Back in 2015 I wrote:
Many times on this blog I have claimed that the correlation between IQ and years of educations (indeed IQ and academic success in general) is 0.65. I have based many arguments on this figure which I had assumed was correct since it came from none other than the late great Arthur Jensen who cited it on page 279 of his 1998 book The g Factor. Well it turns out the figure is no longer true, and hasn’t been true for at least several decades. The standardization sample of adults (age 25+) on the WAIS-III revealed the correlation between full-scale IQ and years of education has sunk to 0.55. It seems back in the 1950s, when the first WAIS was standardized, the correlation between IQ and years of education was about 0.7, but by 1978, when the revised WAIS was normed, it had already sunk to the mid 0.5s.
It turns out this is only true when you look at all adults lumped together:
When you limit yourself to adults in specific age groups, the correlation remains remains around 0.7:
The massive correlation between IQ and years of education appears to be because high IQ people stay in school longer. It seems not at all because school raises IQ. This was proven by Dillon (1949):

What’s POI? An earlier version of PRI? And what’s ‘education oversampling?’
That’s right.
And what’s ‘education oversampling?’
I think it’s when they sample too many people of a specific demographic so they can reliably do finer grained analysis.
Can Ganzir explain why autistic people love anime cartoons? I never saw the link.
Can Philosopher explain why he still comments here even though nobody enjoys reading his drivel?
Pill got BURNED.
I would never fall on the autism spectrum. never. not even when i try. thats a blessing. a blessing above all.
Being autistic is a form of retardation.
Being you is a form of retardation.
retarded people are actually kinda smart.
It’s only the face that scrunches up in most instances not the brain. reverse familial retardation.
You let him insult me, why not I allowed to insult him?
Because you started it & because Ganzir adds more value to the blog. You add negative value by talking about stuff that gets us demoted in the google algorithms.
I didnt insult him. I asked him to explain why he likes anime. Whats offensive about that?
Pepe, you can let Pill insult me all he wants as long as he doesn’t say anything illegal or otherwise categorically forbidden on here, e.g., the N-word. The only person he’s really insulting is himself. He can say whatever he wants about me, and I’ll laugh at it without being offended because I’m rubber, he’s glue.
good to know
“Because you started it & because Ganzir adds more value to the blog. You add negative value by talking about stuff that gets us demoted in the google algorithms.”
Is my contribution a net positive?
yes
I’m surprised that the very topic of this blog doesn’t demote it in the Google algorithms about as far as they’ll demote anything. If not, it’s probably because keywords like “HBD” and “Congoids” are so far from prevalent that their censors haven’t thought to blacklist them.
“Can Philosopher explain why he still comments here even though nobody enjoys reading his drivel?”

I thought we wuz fweinds? (clown noises) bee-dop-be-doo!
Not all education is the same.
I was in advanced programs so saying I was at 11th-grade level JUST is a mistake. I was graded based on the tests I would take not the standard programs. They were State-Based so not a national standard. Tangent to national standards. But things would be different if I followed the national curriculum.
States have different standards.
Recently on PBS I get programs on how standards for black schools sucked.
Charles Murray is wrong that poverty did not decrease because of welfare. It Did.
education is cultural, makes sense poverty affects black education.
welfare decreased poverty, murry is selective in his data.

The correlation with IQ would presumably be even higher if compared within age, sex and race at the same time, maybe even as high as IQ tests correlate with each other?
Seems hard to believe a crude measure like years of education could measure IQ as well as IQ tests when there’s so much variation in types of education, like physics vs gender studies.
PP with all the stupid things people post on this blog you decided to censor me? cmon man be rational with yourself!
I censor Mug of Pee & Pill way more than I censor you
thats not a good excuse. thats like saying you censor Hitler and Stalin but also censor the Wuhan whistleblowers too but just a little less. preposterous!
not trying to be megalomaniacal as some people here would want others to believe of me so they can discredit me but i am usually the right person and yes some of my ideas perceptions and assertions in the comments dont make sense in the short term but think of the bigger picture!
what im pleading for you to do is to stop censoring me because it seems like oftentimes you arent seeing the bigger picture neither am I but if we put our heads together maybe we can find it?
everyone on this site excluding me has autism to a mild degree. there are very few pure neurotypicals. the majority of this blog is littered with people who have impaired social judgment in one way or another.
id say almost everyone on the internet has mild autism and is a great litmus for how ones neurotypicality would come out if it were evident. unfortunately the results show us that almost everyone could be diagnosed with being autism spectrum because autism slips from time to time.
im one of the very few pure neurotypicals. this doesnt mean my social skills are perfect or my ability to weave my way into society is perfect but it means that i am NEVER on the autism spectrum.
Shutup loaded. You aren’t autistic, but youre stupid.
LOADED is SMART. He talks a lot of nonsense and has low IQ taste in pop culture, but he’s verbally quick and very fluent.
LOADED is 26 ys old
inexperienced
Excellent point. Pill lacks the social IQ to distinguish youthful inexperience from a truly low IQ mind.
Wise old people may exist insofar as they were already wise before they got old.
Ganzir
You don’t brag about being super neurotypical all the time.
Ganzir brags about a lot of things. he just does it in a subtle way.
>> Ganzir’s bragging
>> Subtle
WUT
Loaded your social judgement is like the exact opposite of what is actually going on. Ganzir is a meglomaniac. He brags about a 150IQ even though he is an ant person.
theres like fifty different things going on im just responding to the ones that are relevant.
stop pretending to be a social savant Pill youre a fucking retard.
“id say almost everyone on the internet has mild autism and is a great litmus for how ones neurotypicality would come out if it were evident.”
Almost everyone in the developed world is, “on the internet”. Being marginally more introverted or nerdy than the average man does not a sperg make.
you missed the point. autism is when the brain makes a miscalculation. it is like a state of mind.
therefore everyone on the internet is autistic especially when interacting on the internet. however all people except a very very few are truly neurotypical all the time. that is the point im making.
“you missed the point. autism is when the brain makes a miscalculation. it is like a state of mind.”
This is so comically far removed from a remotely competent understanding of autism that I won’t dignify it with a more serious critique than, “LOL no”.
“therefore everyone on the internet is autistic especially when interacting on the internet. however all people except a very very few are truly neurotypical all the time. that is the point im making.”
Therefore everyone on the internet is retarded, especially when posturing as an expert on autism spectrum disorders.
autism is a state of mind. its literally something that cant be broken. if youre autistic you will always be an autist.
however some people can act autistic without actually being autistic all the time is the point im making.
unfortunately for you youll always be an autist something lower than a neurotypical and severely impaired in many aspects of life. it sucks that they even gave you a chance.
“autism is a state of mind.”
No, it’s a neurological condition. A state of mind is something mutable and temporary.
“unfortunately for you youll always be an autist something lower than a neurotypical and severely impaired in many aspects of life. it sucks that they even gave you a chance.”
Unfortunately for you you’ll always be Billy Owlson the functionally illiterate clown.
I don’t know if it’s autism but I struggle to recognize people if I don’t have a clue to fix them. But at the same time, I remember everything the person has told me. So when I discovered I was impaired by aphantasia, I invented techniques to fix the person I was meeting and now I am considered as someone having z photographic memory even I can’t conjure imagination.
For this site, if someone could do a succinct presentation (like 2 or 3 lines) of regular commentators and there recurring different aliases, it would be of great help. At the same time, it could attract even more autistic persons 😂
Not being able to even recognise people is an example of very severe autism.
aphantasia and face recognition deficit are not the same thing.
I recognize faces but I cannot see images in my head.
Look Bruno I’m going to be honest with you. Puppy will moderate me if I call you autistic directly but I have to say, you are one of the most obvious candidates for autism in human history. I’m sorry. Hopefully puppy will allow this one.
I agree that Bruno will sometimes say things are so weird they show social unawareness, like when he wished some “cute” guy was his stepbrother, but he lacks the obsessive repetitive behavior that is typical in autism.
WTF he said he studied 13 languages or something including really obscure ones like finnish. Thats enough evidence of obsession.
Fair enough. Forgot about that.
I don’t see why you are sorry Philo because I was the first one to speak about my ultra high score on Baron Cohen test. As I am socially very accomplished, I don’t care about the tag,
I don’t think language is an obsessive behaviour : for example, I have never tried to upgrade my English language because I don’t use it professionally nor in my daily life except for pleasure.
Learning languages is very easy to me but I will forget a lot of it and won’t try to keep it current to have a luggage of x languages. Else I would speak x times 13 language fluently. I just like the pleasure to go to a new place and understand and be understood by people. Even catching jokes in their language.
I am more of a dilettante and even if I have strong university grades (Grandes Écoles), I go over any syllabus over a period of time and I love change.
So obsessive doesn’t really fit me. It’s a pitty for society else i would have been a researcher . But as for me, I would hate being the person who knows almost everything about almost nothing …
Kitty : I don’t have prosopagnosia, but as I wouldn’t care and with aphantasia, it had the same effect. Now that I care, I am able to verbalize details about that person, and once it’s done, I don’t need to remember that detail, I recognize the person. The particularity is that it’s not automatic for me. It’s not episodic memory but my cortex who does this job (or not).
My dad is borderline retarded. Cultural consumption absolutely is a good indicator of where you are in terms of IQ. He watches free to air tv to save money and most of it consists of tv shows from the UK in the 80s and 90s or Australian knock offs of real tv shows. Truth be told I don’t know if he actually has the concentration to watch it, its more like he keeps it on in case my mother gives out to him for sitting still in silence and staring at her all day.

Guardian is turning into the NYT…
the difference is a white male celebrity wouldn’t do that even if he wanted to. he would know that rock would get criticism. but rock didn’t know she had a problem.
in the Big 5 there is a dimension of personality called “openness to experience.” my understanding is i have a very unusually high openness to experience ability and threshold meaning i divulge myself in content that is all over the place.
this is a factor in why i have a disposition to entertaining myself with things that others do not accept and find to be entertaining themselves! i want to be able to consume everything and anything that stimulates me and that includes rap music or whatever but people dont understand because theyre close-minded.
actually Pill strikes me as a person who is very limited in open-mindedness thus he finds it hard to understand why i have the tastes i do. he also has a very low disgust-threshold meaning he finds things weird or distasteful by virtue of the fact that theyre different from his initial expectations.
Youre an [redacted by pp, 2022-03-29]. I probably have one of the highest oppeness to experiences here. Precisely because most people here are autistic and hate new experiences.
People high on openness tend to be socially liberal. You’re the opposite of that.
dude do you have no self awareness? how the fuck are you open to experiences when you hate so many different things?
youre a fucking douche bitch Pill. you cant even evaluate yourself properly! you are a megalomanical piece of shit!
Here is a test that also breaks down the openness into subcategories http://www.personalitylab.org/tests/bfi2_self_pol.htm
and pinkett’s problem appears to be self-inflicted. in which case it’s fair game. just like an alcoholic’s liver disease.
it’s called “traction alopecia”.
she’s NOT john davison rockefeller. he really did have a problem.

and as zizek has commented astutely…
when men display such violence it’s actually a sign of weakness.
it’s the opposite of sexy.
it makes you look like a fag.
pill disagrees. He thinks smashing another guy over the head with a beer bottle is the way to a woman’s heart
it depends on CONTEXT peepee.
The context was he hit on your girlfriend iirc
Not just any man puppy, a [N word redacted by pp, 2022-03-29].
Communist Sniff Man is a joke. He’s a one trick pony. Here’s the algorithm for generating a Zizekian position.
1. Take an obviously true proposition
2. Refer to Lacan or Hegel
3. Waffle on about Hitchcock films for 5-10 minutes
4. Pray that everyone has forgotten that you haven’t actually made an argument
5. Triumphantly sniff and declare, “And so, it is precisely the opposite of the naive view!”
I know there are women, like my
best friends, who would have gotten
out of there the minute their
boyfriend gave them a gun to hide.
“Fha! You and your gun. Get out
of here, who needs you?” That’s
what they would have said to him.
But I didn’t. I’ve got to admit
the truth. It turned me on.
the difference is smith’s violence has no economic significance.
he’s not a gangster.
he’s an actor. a pampered pretty boy.
a gangster is sexy because he’s not legit, he’s his own douchebag.
He’s not a pretty boy
autism is a mental disorder. they are violent and crude people. i dont get why you want autists to actively participate in your discussions Pumpkin.
they take the life out of everything.
Pill you goofy bitch. do you not understand that you cant be two contradictory things at the same time?
Pill doesnt have autism. hes just a grandiose narcissist. hes a bully. a completely heretical douche who thinks hes funny cool whatever because he chooses to build himself based on those principles.
he is a fool. he is not smart. he is excessively dumb. and he doesnt take anything seriously. he is a neurotic. he is a schizophrenic [redacted by pp, 2022-03-29] this garbage cock-sucking Gypsy!
I need help.
then go get some! its sad that you sit there and whine and moan about your problems instead of getting help. thats why people like Pill pick on you is because you give these people reasons to pick on your weaknesses instead of showing strength.
a facet of the struggle you have is youre highly neurotic. you think everything through pessimistically etc. try to be positive and enjoy things! this will help you significantly if you just reduce the need to undervalue yourself.
Stop punching down.
If I am disabled it is not nice of you to cause me further brain damage with your insults.
Do you think I haven’t gotten help because I don’t want to or is it because I am incompetent? I am severely injured and can’t be strong just because I am weak. You’re blaming the victim.
Just be strong you weak pathetic shit and your brain will be fixed.
youre so overtly melodramatic Anime. get a grip man. youre not important in any way.
“youre not important in any way.”
But you are because of your narcisism.
Pumpkin what are specific examples of me talking nonsense? i feel like youre always discrediting things because you fail to understand them because frankly you feel like the cost-benefit is low to understand these things or not worth the delay of gratification it would take to understand them.
the sad part is people lack empathy for things they think are unimportant. thats what autism is selective empathy. and its a form of evil not just stupidity.
everything you say is average yet you make it out as interesting and profound. That IS the nonsense. Plus you think cursing / insulting people makes you more profound. Its just more nonsense.
Being average is not bad but you go to a 115 type school and in society that average score is enough to be successful with money but not elite. Pumpkin is elite but average just is bland. money management is not what makes jew elite either but that the average raises 15 points. and genius raises a good amount further. To chemistry and physics / mathematics. Money management is not intellectual. What comes after it IS.
That is eve thought money management is what the average jew can do. The average is pathetic when compared to the elite. Money management only seems profound because white cant do it better.
youre such a hypocrite Anime. you think youre profound and interesting!? NO! youre bland and average more than i am.
youre also a mental degenerate. stop trying to act like an authority on things when youre not!
“youre such a hypocrite Anime. you think youre profound and interesting!? NO! youre bland and average more than i am.”
Your a narcissist LOADED. I was only speaking of you.
and i was only speaking of you Anime. glad you at least have the brains to realize that.
