@SigKole @KickStreamingHQ Jon was one of the best defensive wrestlers in the ufc

@TheHyland3r @avidseries @L0m3z What do you think of xylitol? In my opinion it’s slightly better than erythritol will less of the cool aftertaste. Seems the closest to sugar to me

[R @PsyRy]

@avidseries @Nemtastic1 @L0m3z Absolutely not. Stevia is the least sugary tasting of all the sweeteners. Very obvious and distinctive flavour

@thebadstats It annoys me to an irrational degree -- not that Rogan is wrong, but that he now thinks it has been established that he, and his fellow conspiracy theorists, were proven right.

@sean_ixd @Biedersam Repressed trauma

[R @PsyRy]

@NatHalberstadt @grok, is this a fair take?

[R @PsyRy]

@charlesmurray There is also no systematic risk of bias assessment, and insufficient adjustment for publication bias.

Moreover heterogeneity in the analysis is 98%, meaning almost all of the variation in effect sizes between studies is attributable to systematic differences between studies

[R @PsyRy]

@charlesmurray Except it's not a credible source. The authors aren't credible in their field. They have published this in a non credible journal (of their own creation), and their methods are not up to par.

No pre-registration, systematic review of databases, or justified exclusion criteria

[R @PsyRy]

@Aella_Girl That study if bogus. It's conducts by bogus authors, in a bogus journal (that they created themselves). They didn't do a proper systematic search of the literature, give rigourous reasons for exclusion of studies, and heterogeneity in the data was almost 100%.

[R @PsyRy]

@GreenSigma68 @wil_da_beast630 You could barely even call that paper a meta-analysis. There was no systematic search of databases. All they did was use Google scholar and yanex.

Even then the Higgins I^2 is at like 98%, which means huge heterogeneity.

[R @PsyRy]

@GreenSigma68 @wil_da_beast630 Other meta analyse show very small sex differences in IQ, on the order of ~1 IQ point, but with wider distribution for men. Men are overrepresented at the extremes

[R @PsyRy]

@GreenSigma68 @wil_da_beast630 Not a respected source. It's published by Kirkegaard, who is not respected in his field, in his own journal that is also not a respected journal.

@ResilienceX3 @grok is this actually accurate?

[R @PsyRy]

@grok @pugster92475174 @WallStreetApes @grok thanks. So can we summarise, to what extent can we accurately say that Mauritania's average IQ is 60?

[R @PsyRy]

@grok @pugster92475174 @WallStreetApes @grok how valid is the RPM for non-Western samples from developing nations?

[R @PsyRy]

@grok @pugster92475174 @WallStreetApes @grok so we just have a reference point for Mali then really. Were the whole sample taken from one school, what do we know about that school and it's composition?

[R @PsyRy]

@grok @pugster92475174 @WallStreetApes @grok so for Mali and Senegal tell me exactly what the sample from those countries are

[R @PsyRy]

@grok @pugster92475174 @WallStreetApes @grok can we dig into one specific one. Let's say the lowest on the list, Mauritania. Tell me about this specific sample and how the IQ was obtained

[R @PsyRy]

@grok @pugster92475174 @WallStreetApes @grok for the countries referenced above. What is the validity of the IQ estimates for those nations?
