This means IQ explains 1% of the variations in performance. The sample includes people outside the left side of the curve, that is the clinically cognitively impaired that cause the higher correlation between test and performance (since IQ measures ONLY learning difficulties).
To give the IQ deniers some credit, i have tested 150 software job applicants last week with an IQ test and a coding exercise. The correlation factor between IQ and coding exercise pass rate is only 0.1. There's public studies out there with similar results. (@nntaleb would…
During 40 years under socialism Poland‘s GDP barely changed. Switch to capitalism and free market in 1989 triggered an economic boom making Polish people much wealthier. Socialism always means bitter poverty and misery for all. Why are young people so fascinated by socialism?

Built in the so-called Dark Ages, this isn’t fantasy, it’s Rocher Saint-Michel d’Aiguilhe near Le Puy-en-Velay, France. Pilgrims once climbed this for salvation. You can do it for awe.

CARDIO DU JOUR: This is big. Close to HALF of veteran competitive endurance athletes (>50) have cardiac fibrosis, 5x higher risk of (non-benign) ventricular arrythmia, (that is, 20% of these). Ditch your Strava, enjoy zone 1-2, avoid too many races, walk at flaneur pace.…
The Black Death killed 30-50% of the European population. It led to higher wages, more freedom and laid the seeds for the renaissance in Western Europe. But in Eastern Europe it led to even more feudalism and more restrictions on peasants. Then in World War 2 the same thing…

Nothing more bonkers than lung surfactant. Almost all premature babies (not just the extremely premature ones) used to die, within hours. Now they almost all live.
What's a modern minor medical treatment that is just bonkers effective, like you'd painfully die for weeks if this happened 400 years ago.
