Yes, you are.

Like some people support trump I guess … Britain is hardly perfect, but a bygone era is a bygone era and, last I checked, Britain saved the free world by keeping the Germans at bay - at the cost of their empire no less. It took me a while to realise what a wrong’un lefty you are, but your comment abo ...

Lol you idiot.

I agree on multivariates (Peterson - sorry, last time - goes into it in his IQ video) but are you sure on head size? A quick google search is bringing up a lot of positive hits.

There are things you could discredit Peterson with - maybe his views on being unable to model accurately the effects of climate change, or his solution to solving the gender pay gap (women need to become more disagreeable), but head size and intelligence does bear a correlation (about 0.3 - 0.4 ...

If we're just talking about this season right now, then I agree I wouldn't swap Ayton for Sabonis .. in the upcoming off season it's a different story.

I disagree. In an ordinary year, sure it’s fine to weigh the value of the player vs. their salary. In a year when we are the best team in the league and Ayton is a key piece, where one of our top players is 37 and our window is not forever, I really can’t imagine any serious member of this team or a ...

Anyway, AIG is right - if you don't want to see past the Peterson one liner and sound bite headlines (you should hear his analysis on lobsters and how their dominance hierarchy is similar to homo sapiens - outstanding insight imo, but he gets so often labelled a crank for it because "LOBSTERS ...

Jordan Peterson makes a living being a right-wing troll. His whole work seems to be about attacking efforts to help people other than straight white males. He can have fun with that, but it isn't my obligation to listen to his garbage and sit here and refute his incorrect talking points. And yes ...

Like Carmelo and Westbrook, Irving has been an LVP contender since way back.

You go spread your wings away from Cleveland and LeBron Kyrie, you go!!!

Lol.

I honestly can’t believe we are seriously discussing Ayton vs. Sabonis to the tune of nearly 20 posts. I assumed (apparently rightly so) that the racist comment was a joke so I won’t get into that. On the merits of these two players, maybe we need to look at the greater context. What is our goal in ...

So much to unpack here, but I'm off to the UFC fight .. will write more later

If you think I’m a crackpot referencing crackpot sites that’s another story, but there’s enough from me on this site - surely - to see that I choose my references pretty carefully.

They’re a reflection on me, and I therefore wouldn’t post something if it didn’t reflect on me well.

Why don’t you watch the video and discuss its content rather than writing it off without doing that? You’ve done that a few times, it’s really not cool. And I don’t mean cool for me, I mean cool for you - operating from a position of ignorance is stupid and I don’t know why anyone, let alone you, wou ...

Lol - you rest comfortable in your ignorance

Peterson says it best, sounding off on the history of testing, how important it is as a predictive tool for success, what intelligence actually means, the problems with testing etc etc. I'd add that he suggests, at least to me, how the analysis of someone's (or some ethnicity's) intelligence could ...

If Einstein was born on a deserted island with no books and just learned to survive would he invent the theory of relativity or would he just be some guy good at fishing? If you took a random baby from a remote villiage in Africa that had no schools and sent him to the best private schools in ...

Give me a break, it's a joke. It's quite appropriate in this instance as statistically Ayton and Sabonis are very similar - that one of them is potentially going to cost half the other but you prefer the more expensive one, it doesn't entirely add up. It may very well be the defence aspect that ...

Testing is flawed, I accept that - but how else do you "test and measure"?

I don't see anything wrong using flawed tests as a proxy for actual intelligence, so long as the caveats are acknowledged.
