I don't disagree, my only point is that the worth of IQ tests is even less than they make out.

FFS, that's got to be by design. Like, Google recognises that you're an easy target for scammers and directs you towards them.

I bet if you did the same search logged into your own account, or even not logged in at all, you wouldn't get the same result.

If Google make money from this, then why would they stop?

Also, Lemmy and markdown in general requires you to put a > on the blank lines to make a continuous quote. Reddit has taught us all wrong.

Depends on the test, and the tests themselves are generally bullshit. At least, if you took the test result on its own without ant further information and used it to form a diagnosis.

It's definitely confusingly presented, but what it's saying is that he's in the group of people that make up the smartest 92% of the population. So 8% are dumber than him.

If you were really wealthy, you might say that you were the top 1%, so 99% are poorer than you. In this case, he's in the top 92% of intelligence wealth, so only 8% have less intelligence than him.

You say that as if IQ tests actually mean anything more than an ability to solve IQ tests.

Because it's an extremely valid and apt comparison.

The Nazis were not defined by being anti-Jewish, yet you make out that because Israel is not discriminating against Jews they cannot be Nazis. The Nazis are defined by ethno fascism preferring a single race. For the Nazis, it's Aryans; for Israel, it's Jews. They're so incredibly similar that you can pretty much call them the same - they're basically two sides of a single coin.

Also, strictly speaking we're not calling all Israelis Nazis, but the people running the country and committing genocide.

SpaceX doesn't use Russian engines, though. That's what this article is referring to, now all US rockets are free from Russian parts.

Also, coke is a type of treated coal that produces much more heat, it's used in steel manufacturing.

Zionism did, but Israel didn't exist until after WW2.

You keep saying that, and you keep being wrong.

The Nazis weren't just anti-Jewish, they were anti-anyone who isn't Aryan. While the people here are basically only showing anti-Arab sentiments, if they held the same view to all other races then they would be analogous to Nazis.
