I wonder if there’s a similar study that uses executive capacity (multitasking etc.) as a more objective measure of intelligence. When I was in school, this was the most supported way to objectively measure intelligence (but of course, is that actually intelligence? Intelligence is just a word we have. Having the word doesn’t mean that the concept exists.)

    What’s wild is that, as you say, we used to have this system in the US. We even had it during the time conservatives are so nostalgic for.

    Gradually, over the past 60 or so years, all the prosperity has been siphoned back toward the top, and now it’s a radical idea to propose the system that our grandfathers lived under.

    Polymarket is inherently unethical and should be banned. There’s no sense trying to draw a line anywhere. The whole endeavor is a perverse mockery of the human experience.
