EA is absolutely a political framework. You're just too lazy or smooth-brained to see it.

Usually that doesn’t involve compelling you to perform that action by any other means than appealing to your desire to be moral.

You... don't know what a moral framework is.

It for sure is morally good to spend any extra money you have in a way that does the most good, billionaire or not.

"Duuuuuuuh it's good to do thing that do most good duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh" <- that's you

Not sure on that but I think he’s related to Sabrina Carpenter. Source, this line from Espresso:

I'm working late, 'cause I'm a Singer

It’s somewhat non-trivial to create a billionaire, let alone an EA variant; what other ideas do you have for improving EA?

NBC/the media really killing it with painting him as a self-radicalised spook.

Science: “our current understanding of genetics leads us to believe IQ is not heritable”.

This fucking guy: “IQ is heritable and you just haven’t proved it yet. Citation: I belong to a race with good genetics, unlike you”

Second, is the more common "IQ isn't intelligence" trick. Sure, the measure doesn't encompass everything that is making intelligence, but it is still a somewhat interesting proxy as there is a high correlation between intelligence and IQ.

Any time you see something like this, what it’s really saying is:

IQ is intelligence to me and nothing you say can dissuade me. I just have a high enough IQ to write a disclaimer for plausible deniability.

See what’s really fun here is that once again the libertarians are blissfully unaware of their natural predator: bears.

That's a lot of words about what is or isn't a reliable source from one who doesn't seem to know what a reliable source is. For a person of these beliefs, it is not surprising at all that their criteria seem to be:

  • anything that agrees with them is reliable
  • anything David Gerard considers unreliable is reliable because David Gerard is a big meanie and won't include citations to HBD articles, uwu
  • anything that David Gerard or any friendly associate of David Gerard publishes is UNreliable, again because he is a meanie; see above, uwu

Dawg, maybe you need to step back from this all. As Voltaire once said, reality has a well-known liberal bias. Your beliefs are probably just counter to reality, and the corpus of data is not in your favour.

She’s 35 and her sum total understanding of culture and race has lead to this. I think she has been effectively a Nazi from way back.
