Putting this out there for whoever finds it, I am looking for a co-founder who is a permanent resident or citizen of the UK. I have a ready to market product and go to market strategy. Please send a DM if this is you or retweet so someone can find it.

I think you are just farming engagement, have you been on a skilled worker before? Do you even understand how tax rules work for those on skilled worker visas and those that are citizens. Anyone that is not a citizen or on a free to work visa like a global talent visa. You are actually directly jeopardising their stay in the country. You people will just stay in Nigeria and be typing nonsense.

If Keir Starmer does resign, history will look back on his reign and scratch its head as to why the hell he was so hated.

On paper, he's probably delivered more to working British people in such a short time than any PM for decades.

After inheriting an absolute mess: NHS waiting lists fallen. Worker's rights improved. Rail operators nationalised. Improved relations with EU and improved UK's global reputation. Removed non-dom tax status. Halved childcare costs. Boosted state pensions. Lowest homicide rate in 50 years. Lifted 550k children out of poverty. Immigration vastly reduced.

We are in the age of billionaire funded misinformation, whose sole purpose is to topple democratically elected leaders, and insert leadership that favours the wealthy elites over the working people. Looks like the game plan is working...

Logic and pattern recognition does not define a human intelligence. It's measuring a very small subset of human intelligence. Using it to generalise intelligence is one way to actually identify low intelligence and low IQ(if IQ actually means generally human intelligence as it is disguised to be)

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

If the amount of education received, lower level of emotional intelligence, morals and values is what defines high/Low IQ, then it's just another nonsense and method of segregation created by a group of psychopaths trying to feel above everyone else. Point proven with the immigration example used.

Wrong, but the truth is actually quite interesting

Higher IQ people can accurately peg the intelligence of lower IQ people

And most lower IQ people can sense when they're dealing with someone smarter. But the lower IQ person usually has no idea how much smarter the higher IQ person is

They are unable to discern whether they're dealing with a 10 point or a 40 point difference

This leads the lower IQ person to do things like misperceive verbose or studious people as hyperintelligent, confusing knowledge/memory and even pretentious tryharding for intelligence

When in reality, these "hyperintelligent" people may be just a few hairs above them in real fluid intelligence

Likewise, they wouldn't be able to identify a real genius from their mental output and could easily peg someone 150+ as 110-120 if asked

Because fundamentally, they cannot understand what intelligence actually looks like in practice. They only have a crude mental model of it. And a lot of this model is down to the stress/friction they feel when trying to understand someone. And the most obvious friction is when someone uses big words and concepts

While they are much less likely to have this high friction experience with someone truly hyperintelligent, either because they stay quiet, or because that person is smart enough to change their register depending on who they're talking to

For instance, Edward Teller said of John Von Neumann (likely 180-200 IQ)

"Von Neumann would carry on a conversation with my three-year-old son, and the two of them would talk as equals, and I sometimes wondered if he used the same principle when he talked to the rest of us.”

What's much harder for someone higher IQ to perceive in someone lower is emotional and ethical/moral processing. Even if they can identify the baseline level of intelligence in a person, it's a struggle to understand why they act because they do not relate to this experience

For instance, someone acting out of fear, irrational anger, shortsighted greed, jealousy, shame and other impulsive emotions. The higher IQ person tries to find a logic and clarity in it that doesn't exist. While the lower IQ person's reality just involved a bombardment of intense emotions they reacted to in the only way they knew

There was never the capacity to zoom out or process it through a rational part of the mind. And in this regard, there's no logical clarity for the higher IQ person to reach about "why" the lower IQ person did what they did, except that they are driven by a mess of reactive emotionality that they neither see clearly, nor even care to see clearly

Higher IQ people also struggle with understanding ethical/moral choices in lower IQ people. They project their own values because they feel so fundamental and unquestioned to their identity that they cannot even imagine someone not valuing it

For instance, values like fairness, reciprocity, care for a shared environment, and other long term social games that are net positive for all over time. Lower IQ people instead may live in a world of getting all you can get, assuming others will screw you first, seeing it as another person's problem or stupidity, and so on

An example of this at scale is mass migration to the west, where relatively intelligent Westerners cannot grok that less intelligent migrants have zero care or awareness of their values, and will end up suffering the consequences of it

Higher IQ people also misread other high IQ people in the same ethical/moral axis, but the interesting thing is that it still happens even when someone is significantly more intelligent than another person or group, because it's down to their own projection rather than active deception

@julian__duru I tried it with my business plan too and it solved a problem I have been breaking my head on for weeks. I only used it for a day and it was the best of all the models I have tried so far

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

Incredible, feels like a https://t.co/7TfrSyA6up meme coin.

JUST IN: SpaceX is now worth more than Amazon

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

@renjiSAN @Favwontmiss In my knowledge, the Dollar or Yuan are not the strongest currency. Gold is not a currency. It's a good asset but complicated to bank on for what's ahead.

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

@degenretarrd @nexocooker You are going to be rugged back to the trenches. Lol

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

@renjiSAN @Favwontmiss Stack up money, keep as much money as you can in the currency with the highest valuation you know.

@TosinOlugbenga @Amazirostanley I am not sure which language you are using for the monorepo but it's in rare cases where there's only a change to a single service.

It's a no-brainer that Mexico won.

Seen all the DMs and going through them, a lot came through and might take some time before responding, Please send DMs with a portfolio link, it will help a lot.

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

I am currently working on a product in the entertainment industry for Nigeria, I am building a team and currently looking forward to hiring a UI/UX designer worth their salt on a contract.

If you are interested, please drop a comment or DM and I will reach out.

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

@oladapodev @richie_muhammed Curious to know your thoughts?

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

@Dayveed_Ade I think it's about skills and value. A company without a sponsorship license, applied for it and issued me a COS all within the space of one month.

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

@seanpepisky This is possibly the closest explanation anyone can give about this. It's just a different reality entirely and it's not possible to fully understand until it becomes your reality.

[Dami. @he_is_unique]

@_dr_Oge @Lammie_Art01 Technically they have if you are in London. You can find almost all authentic dishes from around the world in London.
