GDP Per Capita & National Mean IQ for 240 Countries & Dependencies, using Pearson Sample Correlation Coefficient, 2023.

This demonstrates that as mean IQ goes down, GDP Per Capita also goes down, or conversely, as mean IQ goes UP, GDP Per Capita also goes up, with a 0.63 (strong) correlation.

This is in relationship to the graph provided at the following link: https://iviv.hu/posts/1527586

The dark sides of our #civilization

A lion lay sated on the savannah watching the sun set. An economist came by and asked the lion why he wasn't working. The lion replied that he would normally eat economists for dessert, but at the moment he was full. This would also be the reason why he rests here, because there would be nothing more to do than to enjoy life with a full stomach.

The economist explained that there are 3 hours left until sunset. If the lion would hold on, he could still hunt 3 to 4 antelopes. After that he would have a food supply and could rest much longer and enjoy life.

The lion thought to himself, I can try that. After he had even killed 5 antelopes in the end, the economist sold him a freezer to store the antelopes. After that, of course, he still needed an electricity contract and a house to put the freezer in. Before the lion knew it, he was working from 8 in the morning until late in the evening to hunt antelope, because now he had to pay off the loan for the house and the electricity for the freezer. He could rest only for a short time on weekends.

Correlative Trend Between GDP Per Capita & National Mean IQ for 240 Countries and Dependencies, 2023.

Logic suggests that the higher the mean IQ a people-group exhibits, the more capable they will be to discover, invent, implement, maintain, grow & iterate the complex, interacting societal systems that support economic development & wealth creation.

How democracies die, fast and slow

Source: https://www.eurozine.com/how-democracies-die-fast-and-slow/

But democide that happens adagissimo is the outcome democrats should fear most. No doubt, democracy perishes when citizens are forced to suffer the hubris of army generals, back-stabbing political operators, populist demagogues and wealthy, power-loving poligarch capitalists. Democracies also play dice with their own disappearance when citizens and their representatives thoughtlessly, blindly ignore not only the anti-democratic effects of extreme weather events, species extinctions, pestilences and other environmental emergencies.

How democracies die, fast and slow

Sudden death stories of democracy do us a disservice. The truth is that democracy can be destroyed in multiple ways, at different tempos. The slowest of these – environmental degradation – is a consequence of the anthropocentric ideal underlying...

Daniel #Radcliffe is a knowing or unwitting #neoliberal #globalist #propagandist pursuing a #depopulation agenda directed by Supranational Nietzschean Elite #Scions.

Study Indo-European (White) #birthrates in the #West plus mass #migration. An agenda to destroy the West by destroying the Indo-European people-group from which #Western #civilization comes.

#Culture, #jurisprudence, #language, #political #philosophy & so on are a product of people & people are a product of #genetics modified by environmental pressures.

No Indo-Europeans, no Western civilization. Study domestic, supranational & #foreign adversaries like the #CCP. See the WEF's #geopolitical bi-pole / multi-pole #NWO. There is a #war upon Western civilization.

EP25 The Long View

Dan tries focusing a much wider historical lens on perennial human issues like war, land ownership, immigration, ethnicity, environmental worries and the double-edged sword that is human inventiveness. 1. “Agricola and Germania” by Tacitus 2.  “A Most Dangerous Book: Tacitus's Germania from the Roman Empire to the Third Reich” by  Christopher B.

A large #cruiseShip can use up to 250 tons. Per day. In terms of regular #gasoline, that would be about 80,645 gallons; more #fuel than you'll use in an entire lifetime of driving cars.

AI-generated #fiction is flooding #literary magazines — but not fooling anyone

At times, the submitter hasn’t even bothered to replace “[name]” with their own.

Using #ChatGPT, The Verge was able to replicate some elements of submissions Williams has seen. A prompt to write a short #sciencefiction #story — plus copy-and-pasted information from #Asimov’s submission guidelines — produced stories with dozens of similar titles in succession, like “The Last Echo,” “The Last Message,” “The Last Day of Autumn,” and “The Last Voyager.”

Now imagine what potential we are giving away and how much #energy we are wasting because #capitalism sets the wrong incentives.

In the #future, one side will generate masses of #spam via #AI in the hope of making a quick buck, and the other side will try to fend this off with AI. We can automate the entire #internet with all the trolls, fact checkers and #fake #news. The result will probably be much worse than #Facebook and #Twitter already are.

The stories are bad, and they’re coming in droves.
