OFFICIAL STAFF COMMUNICATIONEnough. If we're done talking about Pelosi vs. the caucus, and just want to use the thread to decide whether other Era members are progressive or not, we can close this thread. Let's move on, thank you.

User Banned (1 Week): Purposefully promoting an inappropriate sourceQuote from: ManaByteThis has already been made into a thread here (and locked) because the source on this is The Ankler, who was the same guy who said Kathleen Kennedy would be FIRED right before she signed a three year contract extension:Rumor: Kathleen Kennedy Stepping Down From Lucasfilm?A major shakeup at Lucasfilm may be coming. screenrant.com screenrant.comAlso, that channel is one of the YouTubers posting near-daily anti-Brie Larson videosI saw the locked thread. The video brings up other points. As I said, take it with a grain of salt.The content that he talks about on the 2011 contract is spot on though. 95% of people are wrong when talking about the contract. This dude isn't. The fact that he might be a bigot is irrelevant when talking about the points he brought up for the SM rights IMO. Again, it's fair to say he's full of shit. I do think the video makes sense and some good points, especially when it comes to characters and why they are all different.

You can the tell the difference between the quality and yet you fork out thousand of dollars for an OLED TV which is known for picture quality and yet you just settled for the medium that is inferior in pictures quality and are happy with it. I think you should go and see a psychiatrist as well as an optometrist.

People aren't going to stop bringing it up, it is an art exhibit from a game that features a game with 'gay men are rapist' stereotype and another game that has a lot of transphobic shit in it. If it upsets you that I bring it up, honestly, too bad. I'm not the only one who's going to do so, and people have a right to remind people what the art is attached to.
Yup. See you then.'daily dose of moral high ground' yes thank you for being dismissive of people's concerns about how homophobic and transphobic a company and its products have been, thus want to remind everyone of that. I'm sure thats a GREAT look to the people who stalk this forum post anonymously on certain sites.What line is next 'manufactured outrage?" "Sjws?" please, go on.'there are more people that spam the issue maybe because its an important issue, so they don't want people to ever forget it, sorry if being reminded of the shit your favorite game company did was really messed up.The art is still attached to it. It does not change that, you can say 'its an art exhibit all you want, but it does not change what products the art is attached to.but hey, enjoy your art from a homophobic game, and a transphobic game

Is there some benign thing or group of people I could be dismissive of and not get banned on Era? Being dismissive of a guy suffering with tourettes syndrome who can't stop saying the N word. That's all I got.

14 pages man. 14 pages and no one has been able to refute my information or call me "racist".
14 pages people. 14 pages of what I'm being put through. :messenger_pensive:
If you want to fix the IQ gap, it's a waste of time to focus on food and not just select for higher IQ populations within a racial group and encourage them to reproduce more.Consider that when Europeans lived in their environment, they had to put up with winter. Food would have become much more scarce unless you were able to plan ahead for the future and and store them.The Europeans who couldn't plan for the Winter would have starved to death. Repeat this for THOUSANDS of years and the European environment would have selected for a more intelligent population.In Africa, no such pressure existed. The weather is the same all year around, food is always available. There was no pressure on IQ like what we just saw in Europe for thousands of years.
remember that time when shinobi90210 got to play all the bioware games before as an "insider" (NOT to be confused with shilling) and then praised Andromeda for being a bug free masterpiece, only for the game to launch and have highly reproducible bugs and generally suck ass.it got so bad that he quit neogaf for a while to start his own game company, only to reappear as an admin or whatever for nu-NeoGAFi don't believe many people are paid shills, but if anybody ever was, it would be the guy who is funneled games through "connections" at the dev studio, tweets at them congratulations, and praises every bit in front of a disastrous game launch that killed an entire franchise and nearly did the same to the devs

Food is always available in Africa? Damn, these charities are ripping me off!
they should make a quarantine thread on ResetERA.com where JordanN can take on their greatest minds in this debate, just lock him into that thread, like they did failed moderator kristoffer in the Jordan Peterson thread

Even if diets where the original reason Humans started to improve their IQ, I would argue we reached a threshold where the source of food wasn't improving our minds, but an evolutionary pressure existed that meant only high IQ populations could continue to develop without it. A high IQ is tied to populations who mastered farming. Why is farming important? It was one of the first technological breakthroughs that enabled civilizations to settle down and grow vs being a nomadic tribe of hunter gatherers. But not only that, we saw the development of farming highly associated with that of animal husbandry.Fact: Cows did not actually exist naturally. They were actually carefully bred from a now extinct species called the Aurochs.Yet, how could humans from even thousands of years ago know how to do that, if IQ didn't matter?Just eating food wasn't enough. Food is everywhere on this planet. You still needed an intelligent population to figure out how to plow the land or breed animals (long before we even had a concrete definition of genetics even!).
I mean, unless you have a poll that outright says the majority of white and black americans just do not care about education, I'm finding this "cultural" defense to be highly suspect.It's basically telling me that no other racial groups are motivated to do something, yet no one applies this logic when we talk of athletes. Does proof exist that the reason we don't see more Asians in the NBA is because they all came out and said "we don't want to train hard and do it"? I would not use that as absolute proof for why blacks do better in sports because everyone else just doesn't care.White Americans not being motivated to the same levels as Asians also reeks of the same sort of bias. Look at the many inventions and tech progress that came out of the U.S since it was founded. That's not exactly a country or culture that didn't value studying before Asians arrived and manage to quickly outpace them in a few years.When people say "culture" you are just using it as a mask for for the 80/20 split for discusing intelligence. We see a high correlation in all groups the higher IQ they are, the more economic success they all achieve.I am certain the Black CEO cares just as much as education as the next White CEO or Asian CEO. Or Just as how the Asian basketball player cares more about playing sports than being a scientist like the next Black and White Basketball player. Unless you believe they're all bored and wished they found another job instead?

They call it the Sahara Desert--an obviously contrived name as it translates to "Desert Desert"--to trick Europeans who are forever hungry from arctic winters that envelop the entire subcontinent. It's really a fertile band of land from coast to coast.

QuoteQuote from: JordanNWhy do Europeans & Asians have higher IQs if both groups suffered famines for thousands of years?Please tell us more about these thousand-year famines.Please tell me about the 200 year famine in America (or any famines at all)?Oh wait, you get to pick and choose which history matters to you? Ok, hypocrite.

Now we're talking about famines and nutrition. As if no IQ scientist has ever researched this before.And when I pointed out that historically, Europeans actually suffered MORE famines than America, it's now "lol that doesn't count dude. But but think of the Mcdonalds instead!".
QuoteFamine isn't the only way that nutritional deficiency manifests itself across a population.Famines are more severe. And America never had famines.
Famine isn't the only way that nutritional deficiency manifests itself across a population.
QuoteAsking me this question does not erase the factual information I've shown that demonstrates malnutrition negatively affects IQ.You are the one conflating famine with malnutrition, not me. I am not going to explain why a group has higher IQ when it suffered from famine because that is not my premise. It is yours. But to your point, food security has been much higher among Asian and European cultures for at least 1000 years. So, you're simply making my argument stronger. Famine is not the issue. Sustained malnutrition is. The two are not necessarily connected.This is getting ridiculous. What do you think a famine is?YOU'RE SAYING THIS HAS NO EFFECT ON THE BODY?Europeans and Asians suffered this multiple times. They still have higher IQ scores to this day.

On Neogaf, there are people who believe famines don't cause malnutrition to the body.Apparently, that would make everyone healthy, even though famine leads to severe malnutrition and then death if left completely untreated.14 pages people. 14 pages of what I'm being put through. :messenger_pensive:
QuoteIsn't this proof, then, that the environment that one grows up in (and please don't tell me you're going to argue that wealth is genetic) has a noticeable impact on intelligence?No.Everything is based around AVERAGES. The higher the IQ = the higher correlation with success. This is fact.This is true for all races. Black people with higher IQ will do better vs Black people that are lower IQ. This is not environment.But because IQ Averages DIFFER by race, the level of success is not going to be equal, regardless of socio-economic status.The SAT chart does a great job showing. Look at the Asians with less than High School diploma. The fact that they didn't go to school at all but still score slightly higher than Black people with graduate degrees tells you education by itself is not responsible for intelligence.Now, if you look at Asians who do hold graduate degrees, the score is even drastically higher, but that's because there are more geniuses. So what about wealth?The solution is very simple, the most in demand jobs DO PAY MORE MONEY. But how do you get paid the most when everyone is competing? BY BEING THE BEST AT YOUR FIELD.

Yeah, actually, why aren't you irreverently mocking JordanN on Neogaf with your newly unbanned account? Waste of potential.
