Pretty much every bit of him looking better is just his skin looking healthier because he's taking a fuckton of estrogen. Everything else is just nonsense.

I think the question is more about, "Why is it that a jet pushing a wing horizontally such that the wing deflects air downwards is so much more efficient than cutting out the middleman and simply having the jet push downwards.", because it seems at first like the wing is magically creating energy out of nowhere.
The answer might be easier to understand in terms of leverage. A wing acts kindof like a lever, it converts a small amount of force applied at one point & direction (drag), into a larger amount of force in a different point&direction (lift).
The wing, because it is wide, is able to gently redirect a LOT of air downwards at a low speed. In this way, a small amount of fast air (high energy, low momentum) is able to cause a large amount of slow air (slightly lower energy, much higher momentum) to move.
See, that's the thing. The 10 factors in the ranking include 1) Entrepreneurship, 2) "Open for Business", 3) "Movers", 4) Power, and 5) "Agility", or a place that is 'efficient in its actions, adopt and accept modern solutions'
So, like, half the factors are "how badly do you screw the environment and average non-capital-class citizen"
And in case you think I might be wrong about what they mean by "Movers", the top 5 are the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Saudia Arabia, and India.
Of COURSE our country, which is composed a bunch of oil, gas, and mining corps in a trenchcoat shaking hands with a couple of oligipolistic banks and telecoms will score well.
You seen the takes from Authright and AnCaps lately? Trying to get rid of single-party divorces, pro child-marriage, pro 'enforced monogamy'.
They were told the risks of pinning their entire political strategy and identity on one septuagenarian gameshow host, and did it anyway
Yes, there is absolutely a sampling bias here
Sure... But it's a DIFFERENT TEST, on a different population of people, with the goal of measuring military-specific factors.
This is a myth. There IS a test, called the "Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB)", which is a competency test to see what jobs you would be suited for, but that is NOT an IQ test.
Sure, if you score badly on that test you will LIKELY have a low score on an IQ test, probably because something like 40% of American adults are illiterate or have low-literacy and that would impact your ability to do any test.
But the military does not IQ test.
My friend, the first thing you need to know about shitty people is that they tend not to be open about how shitty they are. If you share your beliefs with someone manipulative, they will usually hid their real opinions from you.
Did this actually happen?
This strongly reminds me of the Rimworld community.
Like, Rimworld ALLOWS you to do slavery, organ harvesting, cannibalism, and all sorts of wild shit within its systems, and the young-male fans of the game talk that up a lot.
...but the reality is that most people set up a nice little farm and spend most of their time making art and decorating their base and playing matchmaker.
The guys from I Did a Thing has a second channel that covers politics and they did a GREAT video on this wackjob, and the whole industry of these rich vampires paying the young homeless people in the USA to literally drain them of their blood: The Dark World of Young Blood Transfusions
