I hope Sailer is happy he finally got the "African 'big man' presidency" he was sure Obama would be, from Trump.

Merriam-Webster says "marked by a wild irrational staring of the eyes"

Which sounds a bit more accurate than a mere physical quirk.

I suspect quite a few of them are going to be unalived in the next 30 years, given the way things are going politically in various countries.

Could be many millions, especially if Modi's India gets really bad and it overflows into Pakistan.

Still not enough to make much of a dent in the total world population though.

It's clearly Malcolm McDowell

Going by the illustration of characters at the top of that page, "Kelthar" is a dead ringer for 80s Phil Oakey.

Fred Clark (https://www.patheos.com/blogs/slacktivist/) recently drew attention to John Hagee, a Texas preacher who's been preaching about the imminent Rapture since the 1980s.

I suspect (without evidence) that what a lot of the NT people get from ADHD stimulants is not so much focus but "better alertness than you get from caffeine". And being more alert by itself would probably help an NT person focus especially when they're burning the candle at both ends.

As opposed to needing the extra dopamine in the frontal lobe to kick the executive function into gear to concentrate at all.

To really test this you'd probably have to get some NT people and some ADHD people, ensure that they're well-rested, fed with adequate nutrition, exercised a bit, and have them do an incredibly fucking boring task both medicated and unmedicated. (Perhaps take in a lecture and do a quiz about the medieval open-field farming system.)

Are we sure it isn't Musk behind the "AI"?

Testing EQ would probably be opposed as "woke" by conservative parents in the school district.
