I understand that IQ tests are highly dependent on motivation, making them not a great tool for measuring someone's actual " intelligence".
This still doesn't detract from the fact that actual intelligence is tied significantly to genetics. I also would love if intelligence depended solely on environmental factors that we could easily improve, but alas that is not the case.
Part of building the productive forces is improving people's health and education. Soon we will be able to improve people's health at the source via genetics. There must be similar ways to do the same to education and productivity via intelligence.
Also, Angela Duckworth's work seems to be mostly on the concept of grit, which is entirely separate from intelligence and can be considered a completely different factor. Someone with high grit and high intelligence can still be expected to perform better than someone with high grit and low intelligence, all else being equal.
Gotcha. That certainly is a better solution then making everyone clones of one another. Plastic surgery and genetic engineering were simply the only solutions I could come up with to solve these differences if we do remain in a capitalist world.
Nazi Germany's occupation of Eastern Europe was kinda less severe than Israel's current occupation, as at least theirs fell apart within 10 years.
If the West had supported German expansion into Russia, you bet we would be seeing the exact same problem today as in Israel.
The problem is that Zionists equate Zionism with being Jewish. In doing so, they invite those opposed to Zionism to also hate Jews in general. For instance, many Palestinians probably hate Jews in general by this point (understandably).
The Zionist then turn around and use this hatred they created to convince Jews about the need for Israel, in a sort of self-fulfilling cycle.
I think this mostly has to do with the extensive use of vegetables cooked in various tasty ways. Western dishes (specifically West European) seem to have very few good techniques to cook vegetables, leading white children to hate veggies. I think this is exacerbated in Britain and their Anglo-Saxon colonies (cue the meme about British food having no seasoning).
Also, proper Asian dishes tend not to actually use much oil. Stir frying only lightly coats the outside of food with oil, very different from western deep frying.
Is this called being a 'social worker' in English? If so, I wish you all the best! Social workers are quite mistreated and underpaid in the US despite playing such important roles in the community. I hope you find an org that actually cares about its social workers, and adequately supports you as you help others.
Americans don't want to call them 'Latins' because that might imply some sort of relationship between them and the Romans, and that's not allowed because they're from shithole countries, and America is the rightful heir to the Roman throne or whatever.
In America, the terms Latino, Latinx, and Hispanic refer to basically anyone from any country in the Americas that is below the United States, geographically and 'culturally'. It's essentially a label Americans use to say, " oh you're from one of THOSE shithole countries".
The great great grandson of a Spanish conquistador who massacred thousands of indigenous people to claim his own plantation is considered the exact same as the granddaughter of an indigenous person on the receiving end. Both are called Hispanics, making the word an utterly meaningless label.
Gitee is China's “independent, open-source code hosting platform” alternative to GitHub, intended to reduce dependence on GitHub.
Github has a history of cutting off service to non-U.S.-aligned countries. For example in 2019 GitHub cut off certain services from users in U.S.-sanctioned countries including Iran, Syria, and Crimea.
This is a great policy. This forces Chinese internet companies to provide ways to prevent youth digital addiction, unlike in the West where anything goes.
The parent opt-out policy is a good thing. Some youth may be under special circumstances (esports gamer, mobile developer, etc.).
I didn't know that the youth gaming policy was also opt-out. Everyone in the west omitted that said that it was mandatory, and that seemed pretty over the top. Since both are opt out, this is a very reasonable policy.
China has plenty of home-grown digital maps that are better than Google Maps when in China (for example Baidu Maps). China has blocked Western companies from being able to use accurate mapping data of the country on grounds of national security and digital protectionism.
It's quite nonsensical for Westerners to blame China for simply implementing policies to incubate their own tech industry when they use tariffs to do the exact same thing. If China didn't pass such laws, Google Maps would have a global monopoly on digital maps.
Previously this may have been true, mostly because South Korea and Japan have been embraced by the US as vassal states. Obviously China will not have the same level of cultural exchange with the US.
For example, do we complain about a lack of Cuban, Vietnamese, or Laotian soft power in the West? No, because those countries are also marked as enemies by the US.
Today, Chinese cultural exports are starting to be able to stand on their own in the global market without extra help from Western governments. For instance, Genshin Impact, made by miHOYO from China, earned the highest ever first-year launch revenue of any video game.
Her analysis is insanely narrow, and fails to take into account any of these historical issues. Her conclusion boils down to: "China should make the West happy so they buy more C-pop."
Recently, the r/TheDeprogram subreddit was threatened with banning by Reddit admins. I got the go-ahead to mirror the subreddit wiki on lemmygrad in case. I have made a few formatting changes to better suit Markdown formatting and corrected a few typos. Full credit goes to the original authors of the wiki.

No problem. Will Lemmygrad get its own wiki feature eventually, or should I post these on Prolewiki and link from there instead?

Buy the time you save for 10 months, you can just save a couple more months and buy the newly released upgraded version of that GPU.
Incredible they can say that with a straight face while their state kills and bulldozes Palestians outside their window.
Perhaps they can ask the Palestinians what they think about Chinese oppression compared to their daily lives?
