Also that weird 'breed early' fetish common in a lot of rw spaces. And last I looked at it this whole 'older people do worse' thing while it mostly seems (it is complicated and lot of things can happen etc)to exist mostly affects the pregnancy less so the child, and even then the effects didnt seem to be big. Not big enough to be relevant here. (But iirc 99.99% of the research in this is only in about pregnancies, so wouldn't put much stock in 'older parents affect on IQ' style research, due to the type of people interested in that).

But im not a researcher, just a person who looked at the stats a couple of years back and apart from pregnancy risk i wasnt that worried.

E: and look at that the op there agrees with me.

Yeah, I know, it is a personal thing from me. I have more of those, think it isn't helpful to use certain too general terms in specific cases as then you cast a too wide net. I fun at parties. (It is also me poking fun at how the soviets called everybody who disagreed with them a reactionary)

Considering how rightwingers have tried to link gayness to pedophilia this is a subject I would avoid if I was them. E: and gwern just goes there.

Yes the 2 rs in strawberry machine thinks. In the same way that an airplane flies. /s

E: it gets even worse as half the AI field says the airplanes fly like how birds do. That is why the anthropomorphization is bad. Because it both doesn't think as in the function, nor think as in the system. And by anthropomorphizing people make it look like it can do both.

reactionaries

So, how does any of this relate to wanting to go back to an imagined status quo ante? (yes, I refuse to use reactionary in any other way than to describe politcal movements. Conservatives do not can fruits).

E: I see i got a downvote, ow god do we have tankies?

I wonder if they already made up terms like 'bloggophobic' or 'peer review elitist' in that 'rightwinger tries to use leftwing language' way.

I just remember a professor saying that after he filled the board with proofs and math. 'the rest is trivial' not sure if it was a joke, as I found none of it trivial. (and neither did the rest of the people doing the course).

Yes, there was a big hype in the upcoming biotech revolution in popular transhumanist media a ~decade ago. Lot of it seems to have fizzled out or gone nootropics like stuff. (And even that is meh).

Yeah this kind of stuff is why im not the biggest fan of the tescreal label.

Different rant, but why are so many sites so slow? Loading times seem to have gone up, not down.

Please note this is rethorical, dont be like the sites asking me if I want to turn on notifications.
