I think, that regression to the mean might be one of the worst explained phenomena out there.

It is ridiculously simple logical process, but noone istalking about the source of it, so people always assume that it will infinitely pull people down.

So, what is it? If you take 2 people with IQ of 150, and they have kids, their IQ will be 145.

Why? Because every single factor in this world is affected by luck. The world is way too complex to be measured correctly. So, everyone has properties separated to "true value" and lifetime luck. And when you take 2 above average people, there is a huge chance that their lifetime luck was also above average.

So, the parents might have a true IQ of 150+0, while the other parent has 140 with 10 points of lifetime luck, that managed to make results higher. But, that luck will not affect the next generation, meaning that only the real part of their IQ will be averaged.

But this new average is real, and there will not be a 2nd round of decrease.

Warching Destiny and especially Vaush recently is pure joy. They are completely buck broken.

You can see the light in their eyes blown out by the re-election of the God Emperor. Because, they seriously were on the top of the world, with all the insane infrastructure on their side. They managed to fake an election, and had 4 years of total control to grab a hold of society. Yet, after burning through several multi-billion dollar companies... After going all in, sacrificing facebook, disney, entire fucking news media ecosystem.... They won nothing. And it seems, that they have no more sheep to sacrifice.

I do get, that people have learned the helplessness against ads already, but why do they KEEP FIGHTING ME whenever I try to suggest alternatives for them?

Zoomer fren asked why millennials are like this. After all, cohabitation is dumb and we should know better, so why are we so millennial about everything?

My answer:
Imagine an entire generation gets taught to play chicken on the railroad tracks and eat moldy bread and drink curdled milk and to snort asbestos whenever they get a cold. Every time someone says "hey, don't do that," the teachers rise up to scream at that guy and shut him down, so now a bunch of this generation gets horrified because they're getting sick and getting hit by trains.

That's my generation. We are this way because we were taught to be this way. Zoomers have the benefit of watching us live up to it and get burned; they get to learn from the mistakes we were told to make.

EU just decided, that we cannot ship packages, that are more then 50% air...

So, tellme how the fuck are they supposed to ship fucking thermal bottles now?

I think I have reached the pure autism retardation clown world era of my life.

I think it's funny how we never had female school shooters until they started roiding women with testosterone who identified as men.

I get why the government wants to promote effeminate men and cut boys dicks off, but transmen are becoming a real menace.

They have all the violent tendencies of men without the IQ or second order thinking of men.

Congratulations, you've recreated black people.

Just look at the way Mars is dressed…
An atmosphere so thin it's like wearing nothing at all!
Clearly Mars is asking for it.
