Whenever people say the U.S. has a lot of starvation, it's like they're saying they don't realize the poor have obesity issues these days.
India did pro-capitalist reforms and immediately became richer than sub-Saharan Africa, which they were poorer than until the early 2000s.
It's insane how good capitalism is.
The effects of police presence on crime perpetration are basically universal.
Whether you're looking at Africa, Brazil, America, Japan, Sweden, Russia, China, or even El Salvador, more cops nearby means fewer crimes taking place.

Ask and ye shall receive:
A Black family in the 90th percentile of household income is about as likely to have a father present as a White family around the median household income.

How can @MIT and President Kornbluth sit back and allow Kristin Knouse to remain on the MIT faculty when she has been found by a jury of her peers to have falsely accused him of rape, and intentionally destroyed his life and career with the help of co-conspirators in the MIT administration?
How does this not violate MIT’s code of conduct?
How can one continue to trust the research she produces?
Why has MIT not immediately launched a formal investigation to reconsider the removal of @DMSabatini’s tenure and Knouse’s continued inclusion on the faculty?
The evidence from the case is now in the public record. It is a straightforward process for MIT to review the facts.
Justice must be served.

I just went the easy route and got rid of the NHS.
Thank me later, Britain!
I wanted to visualise Britain's state spending ahead of the Budget, so I've vibe coded an app which presents it as a disk drive.
Take a look at the tradeoffs and see if you can make the budget fit:

There are several surveys that appear to show higher-educated people being less reasonable purely because unreasonable people will sometimes report that they're more educated than they are.
It's a very funny phenomenon.

Iran after the Islamic revolution:
This is what the decline of Islam in Iran looks like. The situation is getting so out of control that the mullahs are losing their grip.
They’re trying to pass a law to punish anyone who refuses to wear a hijab in public.Gen Z is running Islam over with a steamroller in Iran.

False accusers should face criminal charges.
Former MIT scientist David Sabatini just won $6 million in a landmark case against false allegations of r*pe and sexual assault, which destroyed his career.
Once on track to win the Nobel Prize, Sabatini’s ex-girlfriend accused him of r*pe in 2020 and began calling him the ‘Weinstein of science.’ He was later accused of perpetuating a “bro culture” in his lab. As a result, he was stripped of all his funding, lost his job, and went bankrupt.
We interviewed Sabatini (@DMSabatini) about the verdict, which he says made him “proud to be an American.”

Here's a big chart of the latest data on interracial marriage in America.
It's an ethnicity-by-ethnicity breakdown of who marries who for some of the biggest groups, counting just those born in the U.S.

Chris Langan has never achieved a super high score on a real IQ test.
Every interview he's ever done has been full of inanities and asinine statements left unquestioned by credulous interviewers.
He is not the world's smartest man, he just really wants people to think he is.

The lawsuit really gives the game away on class actions.
*No one* can credibly claim to have been harmed due to the leak (besides Mamdani). And yet, here we are.
A friend alerted me to the fact that there was a class action lawsuit for the Columbia hack
People have alleged they suffered monetary losses
Literally no one did besides Zohran Mamdani. The hacker and I, we're the only people with control of the data

There are no intelligent anti-Semites.
The worst experience I've had in Japan is an anti-Semitic White guy trying to fight me, unprompted.
I love this country.
It's so good that even the antisocial people have to be imported.
Just had the surreal experience of teaching a Guatemalan how to flush a Japanese toilet.
Studying intelligence is off-limits due to nonsense moral restrictions.
Some people actually do not want us to understand the world because it would make them upset.
I'm shocked that The Economist was willing to publish this!
Japan is often discussed as if it has uniquely low fertility.
Its fertility rate is very low, but several countries–including ones with reputations for being lively!–are now even lower.
