[quote] Yes, youtubers make money. People need money to live. This notion they only do it for money (and that equals bad) is absurd, because most of them don't make as much money.[/quote] They want to though. [quote]It's harder than most think, you DO need some kind of passion or drive for most kinds of jobs. Just because a desk job sucks, doesn't mean musicians, artists and writers and the like. Don't deserve to get paid... [/quote] Or you know, just a little greed. [quote]And if you really try to say the best advancements and quality products in the world weren't made to make profit. You're wrong. Moving on, to you finding it amusing that a human is paid by other human beings because they desired to...how the free market is suppose to work.[/quote] True, but a lot of sub-par ones were made too. I also don't know how the fuck we got on the subject of a free market but w/e. [quote]It doesn't matter what's on the test. It doesn't do a good job in testing smartness, ignoring that it doesn't factor a wide variety of things, especially isn't useful in the long term, because you can improve them. [/quote] By very little, and yes it does. [quote] And stress when you take it, highly effects the scores...and you can't tell me poverty won't lead to that stress.[/quote] There's a billion things to modify the scores, but not significantly. Anyway most know variables i.e. this are accounted for. [quote] The environmental differences between entire countries are ridiculous.[/quote] Yes but the point is that these tests are designed to consider intelligence no matter the environment, merely your true 'peak' intelligence. [quote] And the part 2 videos, last point is. Races are mixing more than ever and the culture now has vastly changed from when the test started in the first place.[/quote] That's wrong, quite simply. From the moors mass rapes to the Conquistadors fucking even vaguely shaped like a woman there were a lot of times when race mixing was quite a bit bigger. And even then, so what? The lines are being blurred, and this only adds to my point since France, has progressively fallen in average IQ score as more blacks are brought in and born despite having excellent environment. Another good thing to look into is twin studies. In these, twins are isolated and adopted by wholly different families. They tend to show similar traits and IQ scores despite wholly different environments from economic to social conditions. [quote] So it's becoming more and more of a non-importance.[/quote] Not really, since nationalism has undergone a recent revival in many places. [quote] And it also highlighted that even "trying to prove genetics on intelligence" isn't just an innocent means for truth, but it almost always leads to people behaving prejudice and thinking others join this "we're better than you" mentality which is straight up unhealthy social behavior.[/quote] Maybe that isn't good in America which has a lot of """diversity""" but having such a mindset in Europe is quite handy, since this helps preserve institutions that are uniquely European. I sure as hell would love it for my country to finally kick out all the Chinese flooding in. [quote]It gets into straight up intellectual dishonesty. [/quote] Wew
