This is probably the stupidest sh*t anyone could have posted. If you want a real world example of Dunning Krueger here you go
That feeling when your knowledge about how average IQ varies with caste rank in India stops being peculiar arcana and suddenly becomes deeply relevant to US domestic politics...
Anybody who has studied the matter knows that castes in India have been maintaining almost perfect endogamy for thousands of years. About the only significant category of exceptions is that if you have an exceptionally beautiful daughter you *might* succeed in getting her taken as a concubine by a higher-caste man, so their offspring might jump a rank.
With no significant gene flow between jatis, divergences in important traits like IQ and time preference not only don't smooth out, but actually amplify due to genetic drift and differing selective pressures.
Highest-caste Indians have an IQ distribution a lot like Europeans. Low-caste Indians...don't. They're not quite as genetically handicapped as the dimmest populations in sub-Saharan Africa, thankfully, but the spread is wide.
This doesn't mean all low-caste Indians are stupid; Gaussian distributions don't work that way. It does mean that importing 10,000 low-caste Indians has very different implications for the host society then importing 10,000 Brahmins.
Segue to the recent news stories about American families getting killed by illiterate Indian truck drivers doing crazy stupid things on the roadways. Those truck drivers are not Brahmins.
This is a recent phenomenon because, until one of our political parties decided to import the entire Third World for vote-farming purposes, we were cream-skimming India. Now we're not, and this makes a serious difference.
My wife, who is Chinese did her PhD research on hybrid vigor of different breeds of maize. And yes, we do have the most perfect kids ever.
What is a reasonable speed for the 10,000 steps? I have been walking for a couple of hours every evening at a very relaxed ~ 3 mph pace, but I don't think this is helping me lose any fat.
Looking for advice for testosterone supplementation. My Testosterone total has fluctuated between 100 and 400 over the past 3 years. It reads 235 currently.
My urologist prescribed a dose of 100 mg Testosterone Cypionate, to be injected once a week. What is the right dosage? - 1
The only ads I see on X are utter garbage like the following. I hope tech Twitter finds another home soon and X goes the way of the dodo.

I swear on everything near and dear to me - I am not going to watch `Football` ever again.
The orgy of capitalism that wrecks the bodies of descendants of enslaved people is not a sport.
My previous employer had a perfect question to gauge curiosity - what causes seasons(spring, summer, fall, winter)?
