For one, we're talking federal.

And two, is he in the epstein files? Did he traffic humans?

What crimes has he been convicted of?

Its widely considered as the standard metric for general intelligence.

That's not to say it is perfect or doesnt have gaps, it doesn't assess creativity, EQ, rational thinking, wisdom or impacts from socioeconomic.

However what is does measure are things like abstract reasoning, pattern recognition, working memory.

Its one of the strongest single predictors of academic performance, job complexity learning, and overall occupational success, and those things pretty obviously correlated with general intelligence.

We may vote for idiots, but we absolutely do not vote into pedophiles, human traffickers, criminals, etc.

No, he should be writing to his congressman, he should be writing letters to the president, the VP, the secretary of whatever.

He should write to the dickhead ambassador

Tell it to your congressman and president guy. Tell your friends and family to tell it to those people.

We know average Americans dont hate us, but the US administration sure does.

IQ is actually one of the most stable metrics we have for intelligence. It does change with brain development but its also a comparative amongst your age group so your IQ remains very stable throughout your life.

It's not to say you didnt mess up on your test at one point, or that someone who is having a mental episode cant distort it via anxiety or whatever

That may be true, but do Chinese EVs smell like steak and seat 35?

Didn't think so.

Ive been here less than a week and have encountered multiple extremists, schizo level posts, and just ludicrous positions to take.

It's clear that things like moderates and centrism dont have much of a home here.

It is what it is but ill say this.

Do not be afraid to just block them, theres not that many people here.
