Nah, that is not really true. There has been a significant bump due to covid, but before covid IQ test results have shown constant improvements.

That said, I don’t think IQ and political idiocy are that strongly correlated. I’ve met a lot of highly trained people, who would doubtlessly get great IQ test results, who are politically extremely gullible.

That also said, IQ tests are a quite flawed way to assess intelligence.

My personal believe is: This is not about people getting dumber, but about propagandists getting better. I also think that unsteadiness is a way better catalysator for fascism than low intelligence.

That was pretty much what I meant.

Lots of the money comes from the US and US companies. But as you said, it is open source.

Yeah, I häve this as well and I didn’t think I have ADHD.

Slowing down the metabolism seems the mistake realistic thing we might be able to do to something like time traveling.

I am in Germany, maybe ours work differently. :)

Rice starts popping after 5 seconds on 850W in my microwave.

That is why I do most reheating on the stove, in the oven or on the contact grill (depends on what it is).

I don’t use the microwave that often, but doesn’t that result in explosion all the time?

And don’t we use Watt for that instead of percent?

Anyone from HR will probably be on the phone a lot.

I’ve been sharing an office with a Wallace. It can be tiresome. But one can occasionally learn things and ignoring the annoying parts can be part of what you can learn. I’d certainly chose Wallace of these options.

Kubuntu is great nowadays.

I hope those people seek further help (just google sucide prevention). Not having a gun is not sufficient suicide prevention.
