Thread on Jewish exceptionalism:
Jews, who comprise less than 0.2% of the world's population, have won 22.5% of all Nobel Prizes. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_J…
A third of the medical faculty at Harvard is Jewish, as are nearly 40 per cent of history’s world chess champions. cbc.ca/documentarycha…
In 2006, Jews account for 37 percent of the winners of the U.S. National Medal of Science.

Their average IQ has been measured at 108 to 115, one-half to one standard deviation above the mean. newrepublic.com/article/77727/…
~40.8% of the 145+ IQ population in the United States is Jewish jordanbpeterson.com/psychology/on-…
"Doctors are seven times more likely to be Jewish than the overall U.S. population" chronicle.uchicago.edu/050714/doctors…
At the fin de siècle, for example, Jews made up a mere 1 percent of the German population, but they made up 50 percent of all the doctors in Berlin and 60 percent of all the doctors in Vienna. nymag.com/nymetro/news/c…
David Hilbert, sitting next to the Nazis' minister of education, was asked, "And how is mathematics in Göttingen now that it has been freed of the Jewish influence?" "Mathematics in Göttingen?" Hilbert replied. "There is really none any more." (C. Reid, Hilbert, 1972 Springer.)

And GPT-3 is already old news. Progress has been rapid and extensive (e.g. Codex, Blender Bot, AlphaFold, ruDALL-E, NÜWA, EfficientZero...).

reddit.com/r/slatestarcod… Image
Normies who only read what prestigious newspapers and journals highlight for them won't realize the importance of developments like GPT-3 before the nanobots start converting the hemoglobin in their arteries into computronium.
If you want to know about important or interesting developments and ideas before they go mainstream you need to be comfortable with noise in the form of crazy and wrong ideas and follow nonconformists cranks.

When it comes to major Western countries like the United States and Germany, the left has decisively won the culture war and is now in control of most institutions. BUT it hasn't won the war against reality.

Some examples:
1. Left-wing economic policies such as Marxism have failed spectacularly each time they have been tried.
2. Eugenics actually works, as anyone breeding livestock or plants can certify. Indeed, countries like Germany still have eugenics laws against incest and Jews screen their babies for genetic diseases. In Iceland, most babies with Down syndrome are aborted.

Energy-harvesting card treats 5G networks as wireless power grids newatlas.com/energy/5g-ener…

"...it should be possible to harvest around 6 microwatts at around 180 meters (590 ft) from a 5G transmitter."
"An energy-harvesting circuit based on graphene could be incorporated into a chip to provide clean, limitless, low-voltage power for small devices or sensors," phys.org/news/2020-10-p…
Teeny-Tiny Bluetooth Transmitter Runs on Less Than 1 Milliwatt spectrum.ieee.org/tech-talk/semi…

Consuming just 0.6 milliwatts during transmission, it would broadcast for 11 years using a typical 5.8-mm coin battery.

The Fermi paradox gets worse and worse.
Scientists have observed a single-cell alga evolve in real time into a multicellular organism. The transition took around a year and was caused by the introduction of a predator into the environment. nature.com/articles/s4159…
The ctenophore’s brain suggests that, if evolution began again, intelligence would re-emerge

Whenever someone publicly "wastes" food for a purpose other than eating, someone else comes along and complains about it by citing "hunger in Africa".

What's your best steel man argument in support of this complaint?
For example, if I, living in Germany, was to take a bar of edible chocolate and just threw it in the garbage, how would this behavior negatively affect the food supply in poor countries like Yemen?
Some answers I got so far:

1. Wasting food will raise prices for globally traded food commodities, which will mean that those on lower incomes can afford to eat less.
