   A lot of you get on me for thinking everyone is retarded, that almost everything we see is caused by retardation, that our elites are also retarded.

   It's not a conspiracy.

   Ppl are just dumb, dumber than you know yet.

     I don't think the standard distribution of dumb to not-dumb people have changed significantly in the past 500 years. I think the broadcast error just means we see more videos of them, and I think affluence has led to an era of misplaced sympathy for people who don't deserve it. Luxury beliefs.

     That's the whole concept behind "Luxury Beliefs." It's a term referring to people who hold some belief they think is important or vital to some lower social class, but that's actually a massive determent and they can't understand it because of their disconnection to those actual people. Example: defund the police, or minimum basic income

     I think affluent ppl are often the most retarded, hold the most delusional beliefs, often demonstrating an almost completely uneducated world view.

     They were manufactured this way by the military according to their own writings in the huge domestic efforts after WW2 spanning multiple operations.

     It's Y we don't actually have a national policy now, and any efforts toward 1 R met with a hard response.

     This wasn't always true in America, but started 2 change drastically 100 yrs ago

     It's so much bigger than the powerless, absent minded, easily manipulated person.

     Bernays and Lippmann were in that first wave leading to our first mass media. I think they had to know what they were setting in motion. Our military used to actually write about this before they were purged.

     @shortstories @djsumdog @jazzilla Compared to your warped theory regarding power law, where most everybody is clinically retarded yes. Are you walking with a stick up your ass thinking everybody is retarded, because they don't believe exactly what you believe or something like that?
     
     Realistically? There's about 34% in 85-100 IQ range and 34% in 100-115 IQ range. Then there's 18% retard below 85 and 18% above 115. That's pretty diverse.

     @white_male @djsumdog @jazzilla

     So are you advocating that most people have about the same amount of intelligence on average and there are not massive gaps between those who study and were not born with cognitive disabilities and those who either do not try to study or were born with cognitive disabilities

     Are you arguing that most people are close to equal

     Are you arguing that there is not a massive difference between someone who is smarter than 80% of people and an average person?

     No, you sound like an ubermensch on top of mount stupid.
     
     Btw, the bell curve is actually the most racist social science thing ever and every librul is fighting to erase it from consideration in academia.
     
     You're fugding facts to fit whatever narrative you're pushing, didn't read thread.

     @shortstories @djsumdog @jazzilla As far as t test or z test scores go, they all strongly correlate to standard and otherwise IQ tests. It's not like they're exclusive, they are just aptitude tests with bias testing for different things more.

     It is easier to justify Statist communism if you assume a certain kind of bell curve distribution rather than a certain kind of power distribution for intelligence, strength and other attributes that effect the autonomy and productivity and caoability of people

     I suspect that is why the default position in the social sciences is to start with a bell curve assumption and then not test if the data would fit some other curve better followed by a t test or z test

     I would suggest that intelligence is probably closer to a power distribution than a bell curve and the implications of this are very important

     https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_law

     If you have a certain kind of bell curve distribution most people tend to be much closer to being equal to one another in terms of intelligence and someone who is smarter than 80% of people will have a much smaller gap of difference between someone who is average than the type of power distribution I suspect
