@GMOdysseys @Iamthebammbamm MacNamara’s morons. They tried reeducating the dumb. It didn’t work. Below a certain IQ, people are a danger to themselves and others.Competency tests (that are low key IQ tests) are widely used in recruiting in civilian and military roles. They have been for a long time. And yes, there are scores they set for who can or can not be expected to perform in a role. (they’ve also been used in the inverse to exclude people who’s core too high as their judged to get bored or insubordinate)Maybe google ASVAB and it’s equivalents.

@ned @DF15 @GMOdysseys (I love the ternary operator and list compression, non-autists can get filtered)

@GMOdysseys @PunishedD @Iamthebammbamm Really depends on what you mean. Within very limited success you can marginally increase your score on tests used to measure cognitive ability. Additionally factors like sleep could certainly effect how you perform on IQ testsHowever, the thing that they’re measuring seems to largely innate and resistant change according to external stimuli. Various exercises have been tried, but they don’t really shift the needle. Ultimately your cognitive ability is determined by hereditary factors.Much like height, you likely have a natural limit and external intervention only seems to retarded that. The best we can he help people teach their natural potential

@PunishedD @GMOdysseys @Iamthebammbamm One area that covertly receives attention is early childhood interventions. Mothers, in our modern context, are understandably anxious that if they don’t begin the right habits and education early enough that they’re kid will be a failure. Many researchers have gone out of their way to prove that most of the things you do to a child before ten don’t really affects their lifelong outcomes. Obviously they need basic education to function in society, and trauma will ruin them for life. But, at the end of the day the heritage of a child and the social caste of the people who raise them are what matter most (in terms of achievement). And in terms of cognitive testing, heritage predicts upwards of 80% of an individual’s ability. Same as height, preferred smells, allergies, and political orientation

@090060 @nugger @Evil_Bender @Owl @matty @Twoinchdestroya @gol_d_berg Christ has a divine will and a human will (two wills). His divine will is God’s will so it is always aligned with God’s will (tautology). And his divine and human will were, are, and always will be in sync. So his human will is always in accordance with God’s will.Christ as a son rightly acted as a son and paid honour to his father. Christ as a sinless man, incarnate in a created body, lived a life in accordance with God’s will for a man, and thus worshipped God. The Letter to the Hebrews talks about this (first 4 chapters)

@090060 @nugger @Evil_Bender @Owl @matty @Twoinchdestroya @gol_d_berg But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory and honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone. For it was fitting for Him, for whom are all things and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons to glory, to make the captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings. For both He who sanctifies and those who are being sanctified are all of one, for which reason He is not ashamed to call them brethren, Inasmuch then as the children have partaken of flesh and blood, He Himself likewise shared in the same, that through death He might destroy him who had the power of death, that is, the devil, and release those who through fear of death were all their lifetime subject to bondage. For indeed He does not give aid to angels, but He does give aid to the seed of Abraham. Therefore, in all things He had to be made like His brethren, that He might be a merciful and faithful High Priest in things pertaining to God, to make propitiation for the sins of the people. For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted. Hebrews 2:9-11, 14-18 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.2.9-18.NKJV[The text later clarifies that seed of Abraham means anyone who has faith in Jesus (the God of Abraham)]

@090060 @nugger @Evil_Bender @Owl @matty @Twoinchdestroya @gol_d_berg Seeing then that we have a great High Priest who has passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession. For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Hebrews 4:14-15 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.4.14-15.NKJV

@090060 @nugger @Evil_Bender @Owl @matty @Twoinchdestroya @gol_d_berg Last oneFor every high priest taken from among men is appointed for men in things pertaining to God, that he may offer both gifts and sacrifices for sins. He can have compassion on those who are ignorant and going astray, since he himself is also subject to weakness. Because of this he is required as for the people, so also for himself, to offer sacrifices for sins. And no man takes this honor to himself, but he who is called by God, just as Aaron was. So also Christ did not glorify Himself to become High Priest, but it was He who said to Him: “You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.” As He also says in another place: “You are a priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek”; though He was a Son, yet He learned obedience by the things which He suffered. And having been perfected, He became the author of eternal salvation to all who obey Him, called by God as High Priest “according to the order of Melchizedek,” Hebrews 5:1-6, 8-10 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/heb.5.1-10.NKJV

@Fenian https://medium.com/@matt_11659/the-great-australian-scream-dbc4095af1a0Nightmare article on why Sydney is an absolute hellscape that’s been gutted of any real economic and cultural substance (it applies to Australia on general). Very good summary of the state of the Ponzi scheme

@Crux_Invictus @Fenian It’s a bunch of rich wankers at a SMH conference. They talk about people having to rent a tent in someone’s backyard for hundreds of dollars a week.It’s either a really good to really bad sign that this is entering the normie discourse

Abraham had an incest wife (Sarah) that would have been forbidden under mosaic lawAnd Abraham said, “Because I thought, surely the fear of God is not in this place; and they will kill me on account of my wife. But indeed she is truly my sister. She is the daughter of my father, but not the daughter of my mother; and she became my wife. Genesis 20:11-12 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/gen.20.11-12.NKJVThe nakedness of your sister, the daughter of your father, or the daughter of your mother, whether born at home or elsewhere, their nakedness you shall not uncover. Leviticus 18:9 NKJV https://bible.com/bible/114/lev.18.9.NKJV

@CatLord Sorry for the long reply.Rather than carrying on the tradition, paradigms, and culture of their ancestors you have otherwise great kids abandoning Westen churches for an alien tradition. Conservative liturgical protestant traditions exist and they skip right over them for the latest fad.It’s ceding ground to the enemy. On top of that, when 90% of people talk about eastern orthodoxy they talk soundbites and have mental images of death metal monks and incense. They don’t actually know anything about the real on the ground challenges within Orthodoxy e.g. EO as a demographic are extremely liberal, impious, and spiritually dead. They turn up to a church and learn that they’re not mean to sing, they need to pay for access to the sacraments, and that the entire congregation is suspicious of anyone who isn’t from their patch of eastern Europe. The EO like every other church is filled with humans who have human faults.They fall in love with the meme not the reality.Lastly, because even the spiritual and historical claims are doubtful at best. It’s true that there is a vocal minority of online EO who are le based, but eastern orthodoxy isn’t immune to liberalism, innovation, or outside influence. They aren’t the early church trapped in amber. They aren’t the iron guard. They aren’t even particularly good at resisting modernity. Their biggest advantage is being predominantly located in civilisational backwaters They aren’t what they say on the tin(I know that they’re Christian. I don’t think they’re evil, bad, or even the worst. But I’m saddened by people privileging the EO optics over reality. Every church sucks right now, and they current attitudes towards the EO are a sugar rush that will lead to hurt, burnout, and disappointment.)
