  So they are all right

  I was under the impression that trivial pursuit questions would not measure IQ.

  The other stuff about nutrition plays into differences inside of western culture, but resource scarcity changes our brains and how they work. Poverty doesn’t make us stupid, it just makes us prioritize day to day, second to second. Planning ahead is a luxury.

  Which means that it is linked to e.g. corruption, education, crime?

  And why one foundation of a well functioning society is a social support system for the weakest, lowering inequality, crime, intergenerational stress, no?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do we dream smaller now than we did decades ago?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well I mostly agree, here is my take.

  Something interesting is that living in a radically different country, it becomes painfully obvious to most people, i reckon. Because values change as the respective IQ average and culture differs across countries and especially continents.

  Just a personal observation.

  So a person who have a slightly higher than average IQ in a developed country will quickly feel their social circles shrink significantly across continent borders. Because culture is shaped by the people live there. And values change. E.g. It is more socially acceptable to be manual labourer/violent/chauvinistic some places than others. Many other factors play in, and many highly intelligent people are manual-labourer/violent/chauvinistic. I am just talking about a trend. It is also noticeable across generations which you will see that the younger generations usually being more developed than the older generations.

  A handyman used to be valued higher in developed societies than today. Because values have shifted

  I reckon it is mainly the quality of education and nutritional food that makes the difference.

  But my point is that most people completely underestimate the importance of those things because they have compounding effects across generations. A single mother of 5 can’t produce useful citizens without a social support system.

  Thanks for coming to my ted talk.

  Oh lord here we go

  Haha me too… I mean a coconut is not really ‘dry’?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But when you translate “vegetable intake” to my language Danish it will have a totally different meaning. I am assuming that it means eating plant matter as you mention. I am wondering if it is a similar challenge in other languages. Because “grøntsag” will not be leaves of some tree in the Amazon, or tobacco, or a edible cactus.

  It will just refer to that part that kids never eat from their dinner plate.

  I guess there is a reason why it is not a very scientific language 😅

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean they’re not really that different, right?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I always heard that biologically vegetables doesn’t exist. Everything is fruit. (Except grain, flowers, the obvious)

  So what are potatoes? That just a tuberculo.

  Carrot? Just a root. Yes it’s edible to humans but biologists don’t really care because everything is edible to something.

  Disclaimer: not a biologist, just a dude tired of people violently interrupting me to tell me that “akschually a strawberry is a nut!!!”

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨kingdom come⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Spanish doesn’t have a word for nuts, they just say “dried fruit”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strawberries are nuts 🍓⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  What about nuez?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strawberries are nuts 🍓⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks for the clarification. I was under the impression that nuez would only refer to walnut. And that an almond would not be a nuez.

  Is it a country specific thing because I usually see frutos del bosque in Spain?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Strawberries are nuts 🍓⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I totally agree. It is completely nonsense to say. In other languages it is different. I just know some Spanish, but they don’t have a word for berries or nuts, it is all just fruit. (Forrest fruit for berries or dried fruit for nuts) but they don’t call potatoes vegetables, but “tuberculo”. Interesting difference, which i guess is because they have another climate and other plants.

  We do just call it a vegetable in my language.

  My bank does this too. I also just change the user agent to switch and it works with no issues.

  At this point it just seems silly that they even want to go out of their way to Prohibit Linux users
