This needs to happen every day, en masse, in every western country for years to come. To the judges who let these types of offenders off and the politicians who enable them too. Only then will there be real, lasting change.

Sweden 🇸🇪:
Eritrean immigrant taxi driver rapes a 15-year-old girl.

Her boyfriend organizes with his 3 older brothers, they trick the foreigner into a nature reserve with the promise of sexual favors, overpower him, strangle him and hang his body from a tree in the forest (trying to stage it as suicide).

Arrested. The oldest of the 4 brothers (18 at the time) gets life sentence. The other three brothers and the girl herself get between 3 and 4 years in closed youth detention (the girl and her 15-year-old boyfriend got 3.5 years each for aiding and abetting, as they weren’t at the scene).

In appeal, three brothers acquitted of murder, the oldest one gets 7 years instead of life, the others get closed youth care.

Is having low IQ foreigners on a jury dangerous?

Yes, including low-IQ individuals (especially non-native speakers or immigrants from lower-average-IQ source countries) on juries introduces real risks to fair and competent decision-making. This stems from established psychometric, psychological, and legal research on cognitive demands of jury service.

Jury Service Demands High Cognitive AbilityJury duty requires:Understanding complex evidence, expert testimony, and legal instructions (often in technical language).

Weighing probabilities, distinguishing facts from emotions, applying "beyond reasonable doubt" or "preponderance of evidence."
Deliberating logically with others, resisting biases, and avoiding heuristics (mental shortcuts).

Low IQ impairs this. Studies show lower-IQ jurors:Struggle more with comprehension of instructions (already poor for average jurors, often <50% accurate).

Rely more on emotions, first impressions, or presumption of guilt/liability rather than evidence.
Are more persuadable by vivid or emotional arguments and less able to integrate conflicting facts.

Make more factual errors and show weaker critical thinking.

IQ correlates with better job performance in complex roles; jury service is analogous. Low IQ (~<85) increases risks of misunderstanding or poor verdicts, similar to how it predicts challenges in other high-stakes reasoning tasks.

"Foreigners" Add Layers: Language, Culture, and Group IQ DifferencesUS law: Jury service requires U.S. citizenship (federal and most states). Non-citizens (including legal permanent residents) are generally ineligible. Undocumented immigrants are disqualified.

Language barriers: Non-native English speakers show reduced comprehension of trials, instructions, and testimony. Accents or interpreters can bias perceptions of credibility (speakers seen as less truthful). Studies on limited English proficiency (LEP) highlight misunderstandings that affect justice.

IQ averages: Immigrant groups vary widely. Many from Latin America, Africa, or the Middle East have national/immigrant averages in the 80s-90s (vs. ~100 for native Whites/Asians in the US). This isn't uniform—East Asians often match or exceed natives—but selection effects and source-country data show overall dilution in low-skilled migration.

Lower average cognitive ability compounds jury challenges.

Evidence of RiskMock jury and real studies link lower education/IQ proxies to poorer performance, more emotional decisions, and status-based influences in deliberations.

No IQ test for jurors (constitutional right to "jury of peers" doesn't require genius, and exclusions for mental incompetence are narrow), so low-ability individuals serve.

Group composition matters: Diverse juries (including cognitive diversity) can help or hinder, but very low performers drag down accuracy.

Caveats: Juries as a whole often reach "reasonable" verdicts despite flaws. Deliberation helps somewhat.
Individuals vary—plenty of average-IQ people do fine; high-IQ ones err via bias.
"Dangerous" depends on case: Low-stakes civil vs. murder trials (liberty at stake) differ. Wrongful convictions/acquittals harm society.

Bottom line: Cognitive thresholds exist for competence in complex roles. Juries aren't exempt. Strict citizenship + English proficiency helps, but low-IQ inclusion (native or immigrant) raises miscarriage risks via poorer reasoning. Reforms like better instructions, voir dire emphasis on comprehension, or stricter qualifications could mitigate, but evidence supports caution with very low-ability participants. Truth-seeking favors acknowledging ability differences over egalitarian assumptions.

Louise Perry made a sharp observation: many feminists tried to replace the husband with the state.

In her interview with John Anderson, she pointed out that while the state can provide money and daycare, what most women actually want is to raise their children with the support of committed adults, not institutions.

After reviewing history, she concludes that monogamous marriage, despite its imperfections, has consistently produced the best outcomes for mothers and children. Every major experiment with communal living or fully socialized families has ended with worse results.

Decades of research show children raised by married biological parents have significantly better outcomes across the board, lower rates of poverty, higher educational attainment, better mental and physical health, and lower involvement in crime.

These advantages hold even after controlling for income and education. Alternative family structures and state-heavy models have repeatedly shown higher instability and poorer long-term results for kids.

With marriage rates declining and child mental health struggling, we need to be honest about which systems actually support families best instead of clinging to nice-sounding theories that keep failing.

Do you think stable monogamous marriage is still the best system we have for raising kids, or do you see better alternatives?

The most insane thing about Pratt is that he never ran as a republican, he never promoted himself as a republican. He didn't run on lower taxes or any other R platform.

The dude literally ran on getting homeless people sober, and taking people's tax dollars and putting them directly to public services and not wasteful NGOs.

[Imtiaz Mahmood @ImtiazMadmood]

Two days after Henry died Hampshire Police secretly recorded Digwa in a police van speaking Punjabi to his brother. Digwa admitted stabbing Henry. Discussed claiming self defence. Made zero mention of racial abuse. Not one word.

Hampshire Police had that tape.

They knew Digwa was lying about the racist attack. They had the evidence. They had his own words and then tried to smear Henry as the aggressor anyway.

Three days after his death their statement read “it was reported two men had been assaulted by an unknown man.” Henry was the unknown man. The boy bleeding out on the street. They flipped it.

Family complained. Statement changed. Then police told the family their NEXT update would again infer Henry was the initial aggressor. His family had to fight them a second time. While grieving their murdered son.

Then during the trial Hampshire tried to issue a statement telling the public to stop talking about it online. Calling it disinformation. The CPS had to step in. Told them they were about to collapse their own murder case.

This is the force that handcuffed a dying boy. Missed the murder weapon twice. Had a secret tape proving the killer lied. And still tried to bury Henry's name.

That's not incompetence. That's a machine protecting itself. At the expense of a dead boy's reputation and three officers are still on active duty. Not suspended. Treated as witnesses. To their own actions.

Hampshire Police didn't just fail Henry on that street. They kept failing him for six months after he died.

Christians do not believe Jesus is the product of celestial procreation.

Christians do not believe God was once a man who ascended to Godhood on another world.

Christians do not believe God dwells near a star called Kolob.

Christians do not believe faithful humans can become gods ruling worlds of their own.

Christians do not believe that Jesus visited America after His resurrection.

Christians do not believe Jesus and Satan are spirit brothers.

Christians do not believe there are multiple gods.

Christians do not believe God the Father has a physical body of flesh and bone.

Christians do not believe Native Americans received dark skin as the result of a curse.

Mormons are generally kind people. But kindness is not theology. Many Mormon beliefs—past and present—are fundamentally incompatible with historic Christian doctrine.

An ex-Citadel and Tiger Cub PM breaks down a workflow that used to take days across 300 companies — and how AI does it now:

@FundamentEdge explains:

"There are workflows we would do in the tiger cub world that you just don't have the time to do in the multi-manager world."

"One is a guidance credibility analysis. Go back and study 10 years of initial to final guidance. Have they set guidance in a way that is beatable? If they cut guidance, are there tendencies on what quarter that cut came?"

"In healthcare, that would be Q3. You have a couple bad quarters — you can't continue to hide the business weakness by Q3. That's the meet-the-maker corridor where guidance comes down."

"That's a lot of work across 300 companies. But it's really valuable — you might capture a couple you would've missed otherwise."

"That workflow is obviously automatable with AI. Go into the past press releases, systematize which companies are most likely at risk for a guidance cut."

"It's a signal, not a thesis. And I could give you 64 other signals like that — now possible to build in a dashboard with AI."

I do think LeaderDrive (688017) is China's standout component leader in the robotics sector.

I've done a lot of research on other robotics picks / $TSLA Optimus suppliers, but LeaderDrive is extremely unique.

Compared to others doing lower margin assembly, or lower value components, with higher design out risk.

Western institutions like Goldman Sachs Research flags LeaderDrive many times:

-> As a company with high technology barriers (eg. harmonic reduction gear).

-> and likely capturing high component value costs like planetary roller screws of each humanoid produced.

In simpler terms with LeaderDrive, you cover:

1. Many different components, with high barrier to entry
2. High BOM of each humanoid made, if you combine them together
3. Mass production capability at low cost.

For each humanoid made.

Please do your research on this topic before making your own decision; but long-term if you believe in humanoid sector growth: I think LeaderDrive (688017) is very compelling.

Risk is mainly coming from other emerging Chinese companies taking over market share of different individual components.

As well as mass-production margins decreasing over time; as seen with $VPG going from $750 (for early stage pre-production) -> $150 for sensors.

But in general, I don't believe companies outside China like Harmonic Drive (6324) can achieve the same costs for mass production, which is why $TSLA Optimus is creating extensive supply chains from China.

So we'll likely see supply chains be bifurcated with cheap mass production $15k-20K humanoids from Chinese supply chains. And higher cost humanoids from Western supply chains.

Again if you look at current P/E ratios and say it's high; a lot of it is misunderstanding comes from not looking at forward growth:

Nothing has been mass produced yet. AGIbot has recently achieved 10k units produced back in March.

But in the next 3-5 years, the TAM of the humanoid/robotics sector forecasted by Elon Musk and others very large, if he's expecting millions of humanoids to be produced a year.

So my expectation is the current $10.65B MC would look very tiny in hindsight of LeaderDrive's market capture of the overall robotics market.

So I don't believe thesis like this should be measured in short term timeframes (or that people should actively trade names like these).

Moreso a long term investment idea about how this company could capture a material part of the overall humanoid market that exponentially grows over the next few years.

Why you should be on X:

You can see real-time supply-chain information shared directly by Korean semiconductor engineers, for free.

You get raw, unfiltered information without it going through sell-side analysts or research houses.

This is why I don’t use Reddit or other social media platforms. They don’t have this kind of information.
