Iq tests are absolutely junk science, they might as well take skull measurements. There is an intelligence spectrum but we can't reliably measure it for every aspect of intelligence.
I wish everyone realized this too is a form of worker exploitation. Most of us are working dead end jobs at the end of the day, and not letting you have career progression is almost like a paycut, they absolutely can give you superior roles that you are able to perform they just withhold them.
Who can seriously believe this when so called leftists in the us o ly go as far left as center right moderate parties everywhere else. Who cares about xhomsky level professors, they're not in, politics they can't ever get elected.
Even at the heught of the nation state as the sole ordering institution in your life I always wondered what compells people to fight for their country other than self defense ofc. At the end of the day you will still be serving the elites when it's all over. Most times they didn't take good care of the veterans. Really no incentive to fight hard other than you were conscripted and treason carries the death penalty.
Ukraine is totally overpowered. No one will intervene in their favor with troops on the ground (the only thing that would truly make a difference). Kiev will fall in 2 months top, Putin will install a puppet government and maybe annex all of the south and luhanks and donetsk and form the new russia oblast.
I just never cared about their arbitrary deadlines. Idgaf. It's on them if they want the world for the few pennies they are investing in this (never worked in a properly funded project). Also at some point I became an actual marxist leninist communist so aftar that it's not even remote likely I'll care how the bussiness is doing.
