Maybe. Maybe not. The future rarely resembles the past, so absent a good explanation as to *why* birth rates are declining we cannot prophesy what might happen with the numbers next year much less next century:

Where did the idea that sexual assault is motivated "by power" originate?

From our latest episode with the great Steven Pinker.

@strong72186 @DeDunkingPast Sure but a starter is still pretty simple. So are spark plugs etc.

[Marcelo @Celo2308]

@DeDunkingPast How you are teaching your son to m to do such things? Many people complain about men today but being able to fix simple stuff but when I ask them if they ever showed it to their sons they say no. I wonder how do they expect the new generation of men to learn?

@ImBreckWorsham Because Israel isn't threatening the West with eradication? You know that small but important detail. That's like asking why is the US allowed to have nuclear weapons?

[James Lindsay, anti-Communist @ConceptualJames]

Because Israel is good, and Iran's Regime is evil. That was easy, wasn't it?

[Mia Hughes @_CryMiaRiver]

This is like saying 0.4% of teenage girls wanting (and getting) a healthy leg chopped off really should not be shocking

@benrobbins @charlesmurray What is ime + time supposed to mean?

[Marcelo @Celo2308]

@a_meadowsweet @DeDunkingPast It's the opposite. Most people don't get basic stats.

[Marcelo @Celo2308]

@JohnCleese True.

[John Cleese @JohnCleese]

Are you aware of threats and acts of violence coming from radical Muslims ?

If so, why are you scared of talking about it ?

[Marcelo @Celo2308]

@charlesmurray This would explain why black people despite lower average IQ contribute so much in the arts especially music. If that is a separate but heritable trait this explains a lot. Would be interesting to know if this trait also varies among ethnic groups.

[Riot IQ Test @RiotIQ]

🧠 Is creativity mostly just high intelligence?
A new twin study in @ICAJournal says no. There’s a large genetically independent component.

@timothycbates analyzed intelligence test scores and creativity data in three domains: business, military, politics/leadership). Key findings:
➡️Creative achievement is highly heritable (h² ≈ .56), shared environment ≈ 0
➡️Latent creativity and general intelligence are genetically independent.
➡️g explains only ~10% of the genetic variance in creative achievement

These findings support a hybrid view: g helps in many domains, but creativity has substantial unique genetic architecture. As Bates explains, "the genetic architecture of real-world creative achievement is not merely a downstream consequence of general intelligence but reflects a separate, heritable system that operates across artistic, scientific, and enterprising domains" (p. 6).

@sugabelly @lilyally98 Biologically redundant? How? Was there ever a single human born without an egg and a sperm?

[Marcelo @Celo2308]

@sugabelly @BradWilcoxIFS Except women hate men more than men hate women. We see that in many data sets when you ask especially young women about their view on men.

@pureMetatron Lady of the library has responded. When will you address her video? Any idea?
