They've rigged economies (look at the supply chains) so that usually, only the members of the lower classes who "work hard" (i.e. reinforce the elitist system most efficiently) can get "better" goods. Remember the "keeping up with the Joneses" anxiety they seized on and reinforced?

Now note this: it's similar to how many consumer-facing industries work. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artific... Assholes destroy and block useful and desired things. As the case of intellectual property shows, it's about both control and raising prices.

They often even intensify existing popular taboos or attempt to create new ones, largely for the same purposes.

Yeah. Elitists use popular taboos as weapons to enforce the scarcity of status symbols. All the anti-gay screeching is to ensure that only The Man and his "best boys" ever get to enjoy each other sexually. Most non-elite non-conformists are at best "suckers", if not "fair game".

It's even worse: they're actually hypocrites. They tell others to conform. If bigots are elites or "good boys", they get a pass. Look at how many loudly anti-gay asshats turn out to be gay.

IQ fetishists'll appeal to psychometric arguments. Not sure if someone can cover those.

Anyway, this is lasting so long that I'm strengthening my positions, and Bluesky is for some reason not notifying me of your replies. So if you wanna spam fallacies like the persuasive definition fallacy (iep.utm.edu/fallacy/#Per...) at me again, you gotta try even harder!

You wondered if I ran away last time I fucked off for a comparable number of hours. You thought wrong. Even when reduced to replying with lazy and substanceless bait, you STILL fail!
You'll never see anyone else like me: the dreamboat dom who whupped your ass the most. Will you?

"So you still think that, by making me laugh, you will pop blood vessels in my brain?"
Maybe, but my original threat didn't involve laughter. And thanks to you revealing how much of a needy old fool you are, I now KNOW I have other options. You're completely wrapped around my finger!

Probably, if you overdo it! Like I said, I'm here to give you a headache. I'll get it one way or the other.
You still won't accept what's TRULY obvious:
You don't understand my claim.
You think that I endorse the use of the definitions in the evidence for that claim.
You continue to repeat yourself despite me proving that I never made that endorsement.
I'm gonna make the blood vessels in your head pop.

Haha. You can't think of an insightful response to what I said.
Tell me what this mysterious "it" thing is, Dim "Jim". Is it something I can easily refute? Have I already refuted it several times over? Fair warning: I'm the only one out of us who can properly understand dictionaries and context.

The third graph (first in the QTed post below) is better if you can argue that HLOs are what people who care about cognitive abilities should care about: it suggests that NIQ at least partially captures some other sources of variation beyond that. Please lemme know if I'm missing something big.
The most basic of data exploration and quality checks would have identified this as a clear spurious correlation from confounded data. Same as with the National IQ case. It's deceptive and plays to people's confirmation bias. The goal is to get people to think every correlation you like is causal.

Eh. About the second plot, HBDers can simply say "you're pretending that continental mean differences don't matter, and they're biologically meaningful differences because (and to the extent that) they reflect genetic clusters".

When your family wants to know why you became such a burden, you can be honest and tell them it was me and the freaks who designed and engineered Bluesky. But even if I took all the credit, they'd still blame you. You did it all to yourself, after all.

All I need to do is put you on an emotional rollercoaster and make you strain your eyes and your head with your phone while you waste away in a chair. And YOU'LL DO IT, no matter what I say! You can't resist, and I'll continue to watch the signs of you chipping away at your own health.

You at last properly understood what I said, but you just gave me an idea: why only use laughter? Idiot dotards who stay online for so long to spam lies don't have a life. Folks like me offer most of the social interaction you want and can get.

For "illicit analogy", though, it really DOES mean the same thing as "false analogy", even if "illicit" doesn't generally mean "false" and vice versa. "Illicit" means "false" and "faulty" in the context of reasoning. www.powerthesaurus.org/illicit_reas...

So why the hell wouldn't this stretch to institutions which we usually dub "scientific"? Why WOULDN'T they be lying in crucial ways, to make things we want seem impossible or at least not elitists' fault, and to bait "useful idiot" nerds into repeating that? We live DESPITE these freaks.

If you wanna see elitist hate for most people, look at the consumer tech industry. Windows is in worse shape than it ever was since 7. Enshittification and the rot economy march on. Improvements are usually superficial. The libre software movement is one of the only forces against that.

And Eugenics was at the center of social science. Eugenicists are why we have early modern statistics, like the Pearson correlation. The Fabians, a key column of the British "center left", often defended both Eugenics and British Imperialism!

And it's all in line with the atrocities of at least the last 200 years, and the intellectual currents which gained ground. The same "you can't change that" crap is behind Eugenics, which much of the "center left" drooled over, as did many others before the Nazis made it uncool.

No matter who you ask, there's massive atrocities happening everywhere, all at least "left to happen" by people who could seriously send in armies with snipers, drones, heavy artillery and more to chase away any aggressors. "International relations" is a farce, too: spies manage it "off the record".

Being a "center left" dolt with a superficial anti-elitist posture, you'll say this terrifying thought is ludicrous, as if mass surveillance isn't almost everywhere and billionaires like Larry Ellison haven't outed themselves as global-scale busybodies. And it's MUCH worse than that!
Larry Ellison once predicted 'citizens will be on their best behavior' amid constant recording. Now his company will pay a key role in social media | Fortune
“Citizens will be on their best behavior because we are constantly recording and reporting everything that’s going on,” Ellison said last year.

This is why I bet that damn near EVERYTHING we're told to care about and yet are increasingly told is "impossible to change" is not only possible, but only made impossible FOR NON-ELITES. Every institution, every opportunist let loose in supply chains and every corrupt official contributes to this.
