Language Is a Poor Heuristic for Intelligence

This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
On a related note… only 5% of hearing parents with a deaf child will learn sign language.
That’s awful. I don’t know why sign language isn’t made into an official state language that everyone has to learn some basic amount of proficiency
Amen! And it would benefit literally everybody. You can communicate across a room or in loud environments. It's so useful!
You could talk about blind people without them knowing
i bet these bastards would somehow learn to interpret the changes in air pressure you'd create when signing... that's how you create supervillain.
But then other people could listen to what we're saying!
This gets me wondering: In sign languages, are there different words for "hearing" (i.e. looking someone sign to you) vs "seeing" (i.e. looking at something that isn't signing?
Because we only recently stopped telling parents not to teach it to hard of hearing children.
...That's disgusting.
also those parents could be close relatives, so they could fuck up their offspring genome by transferring recessive genes to them from both sides, and thus a recessive phenotype to be expressed, which most of the time is a disability. shouldnt expect much from such parents
Weird non-sequitur there
