@webmasterdave @elonmusk This brought to mind Rupert Sheldrake's (with whom you were on an IAI panel not long ago) morphic resonance explaining the alleged consciousness of the Sun. He discussed it in the past at a round table among notable folks: https://t.co/E4h1wKFU9Q

@Breeauna9 @charlesmurray I am staunchly anti-authoritarian and you better expect to be corrected when you state falsehoods such as God this or that. If you do not want to benefit from the fruits of the scientific enterprise, fine but you cannot stop it.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@bronzeagemantis Unsurprising. Non-twin full siblings share ~50% of their segregating genetic variants on average. This is far less than identical twins, leaving ample room for genetic differences to produce divergent phenotypes + sex differences due to XY vs. XX + G×E interplay.

@Matrix95s @Jevan @charlesmurray IQ is not an absolute metric of cognitive capacity; it is a standardized deviation score (mean=100, SD=15). In adulthood, phenotypic IQ remains highly stable (r ≈ 0.6 to 0.8 across decades) due to the stabilization of the CNS and structural psychometric design.

@webmasterdave @newstart_2024 Peterson subscribes to a bizarre Jungian understanding of reality that is also employed to defend his own interpretation of Christianity. There is not much to read into his words. Have a nice evening, David!

@DanteJeffe14617 @tweetingboa @SashaGusevPosts @charlesmurray And you seem to be lost. I cannot believe that there are "scientists" suggesting that cognitive ability, which is dependent on neurobiological architecture, which in turn depends on allelic variation between genomes and between populations, has no genetically hereditary basis.

@Breeauna9 @charlesmurray 1- "Ought" is not "is"; we are merely describing nature. 2- None of the gods imagined by our species exist and 3- There is no free will.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@Jevan @charlesmurray No randomized controlled design with an active/sham control group + small sample + affiliated researchers + no Wechsler like scale. Also, no far-transfer to general intelligence (g) , reasoning, academic outcomes etc. You are overstating weak and potentially biased evidence.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@Jevan @charlesmurray That holds no water, pal. IQ is highly stable in individuals after early childhood, with test-retest correlations typically 0.7–0.9 over years. A true, lasting 20-point gain from ~60 hours of training would be extraordinary and easily detectable in large, independent studies.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@Race__Realist @charlesmurray First of all, IQ tests (especially highly g-loaded ones like Raven's matrices or backward digit span) predict life outcomes (academic achievement, income etc.) across cultures and predictively better than SES alone. Secondly, sorry but you are a substance dualist! YIKES.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@MartinShkreli Meh he should look into amlodipine. Also, he is already taking a PCSK9 inhibitor so amlodipine is a better drug to couple with it for the purpose in question. Tadalafil is no "longevity medicine" indeed. In any case, Martin, do something about the Fable export restriction!

@Maccabi226km @DanBilzerian @RepFine I know Rabbinic Judaism (among other religions) like I know the palm of my hand. Do you seriously think that the Israelites were unique in the region? All human populations are guilty of such practices including Iron Age Arabs and Israelites and their subsequent descendants.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@J0nWienke @webmasterdave @ThomasMHern David's proposition is not impossible, we already have the technology to begin pilot studies alongside much needed eugenic programs to eliminate suffering etc. in our own species. Also, do not act as if your "rebuttals" were not generated by an LLM, it is all right to be ignorant

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@teebrinko @ReemAmirIbrahim aDNA literature disproves your claim though. Her results are consistent with the scientific literature i.e. modern Egyptians are primarily descendants of ancient ones, with layered admixture (including modest Arab input) but no replacement. Are you even serious or just hateful?

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@Maccabi226km @DanBilzerian @RepFine I disagree with how Dan feels about Jewish groups but there is no need to defend the indefensible. In both the Talmudic and Sharia traditions, the law permitted child marriage. A father possessed the formal legal right to "contract" a marriage for his underage child. Period.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@EstherKandel1 @xCipher007x @btselem In an ideal world Israel should exist alongside its neighbors in peace and no side should infringe upon the other. Also, the Palestinians aren't Arab, they're Levantines, speaking a dialect that descended from Arabic does not make one Arab. Arabs are in Arabia.

@vincentneilho A molecular geneticist by training and Chief Science Advisor you say? Her competence became questionable the moment she stated "in the animal kingdom...". Not all female animals have XX chromosomes. Some species have ZW, others depend on temperature for sex determination.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@HuevaToi @filicroval That is false. A feed-forward transformer architecture does not entail sentience/conscious experience. People like yourself simply do not understand how a system of static equations and calculation loops trained on huge datasets with massive parallelism works.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@Naggiiiiii @AdamLowisz @elonmusk The transgressions of the theocratic ruling class and their millions of supporters are known. No need to repeat them. I merely offered an objective picture of the status quo. Also, the fallen monarchy was also authoritarian, I favor neither theocrats nor monarchists.

[Aderbrah @aderbrah]

@AdamLowisz @elonmusk Both groups existed under the fallen regime and still exist under the current one. It is just a matter of who controls the state and sets the rules but otherwise, these photographs are from the IRI, so your juxtaposition is more of a cherry-picking exercise.
