re: NYT: Iran retains operational access to 90% of missile sites according to US intelligence

I think the outcome of an invasion of Iran will be better, largely because the population (primarily Persian) is more capable of hosting a thriving society.
People believe this, but there is still a significant power base in the country which aligns with the clerics and a more significant power base which aligns with the IRGC. Even still, there is a significant Shia power base outside of Iran itself which sees Iran as the leader of the Shia world, and Iran has tapped into that extraterritorial power base within very recent memory.
While the recent protests might drive this view, one has to think only as to how the regime was able to put down the protests relatively easily to figure out that their power base is larger than we assume.

No shite. The economic center of the state and of the country is NYC.
It would be interesting to see social media response to the insane crime levels of the Drug War-era if it had existed in the same form. That amplifies attitudes towards crime even when statistically the amount of crimes has decreased from that era.
Another gem from a man who apparently doesn't understand how academic medicine works.

I guess you were left off the pre-print review, they really needed basic people like you to complain about their labeling, because you have far too little time to read their paper.
Bud, you are moved by poorly labeled data. Good for you.

Buddy, I have more publications, especially after COVID, than most physicians ever will. I deal with studies and data all the time.

An intelligent person would theorize and research why "Other Humanities and Art" score so high.
No, I am asking what this category includes, as that is meaningful to the discussion.

It's data. The fact that you don't like it is not surprising, you don't like things you can't understand. But that's a you problem.
It's sloppy, poorly presented data.
quote:
Yes, it's data, it aligns to the more recent study I posted.
Man, there is a data point there that simply says 'Library.' What? You seem very fond of sloppy data that doesn't say anything.
quote:
So if we normalize athletic talent (IQ), just foot speed in a 100m dash, then we hold tryouts (SAT/ACT), the high-school then picks the fastest kids to represent the team.
They then compete with another school who did the same.
And even though foot speed is distributed equally across the population, those race times will be far outside the standard deviation.
Just like with Engineering and Math, mentally these are hard subjects, and IQ represents the brains abilities.
Those without a high IQ cannot succeed in Engineering or Math (Or Music).
You don't seem to understand my point.
quote:
Both require significantly higher IQ than Early Childhood Education.
Or in sports terms, linemen make bad wide receivers.
IQ is not a gate to Early Childhood Education. It is to Engineering, people who do not make the minimum will struggle and likely drop out.
Again, look at the list. I am talking about the categories the list itself defines. What does 'Engineering' represent and how is it meaningfully different from other disciplines of engineering such that it requires its own category? The data you posted is presented in the most obscure, oblique way and you can't seem to understand why the category errors in that list should make one skeptical of the data as a whole. I am not suggesting that people who are good at math do not have high IQ's, I am suggesting that the way the data is presented itself beggars belief by virtue of the categories.
quote:
You do understand Logic is as intense as Software engineering, possibly more intense in the abstract layered thinking.
Yes, and I also understand how departments of philosophy in the US are structured, with a focus on what is analytic philosophy (or Anglo-American) versus continental philosophy. My familiarity with how departments are structured and the various syllabi of multiple departments is what leads me to directly question the data.
quote:
Oh wait... you don't... because... that's right...
Lol, bud, you are in a thread about a medical residency, which is something I know you know nothing about, talking about IQ, which is another subject I know you know nothing about. Double down, I don't give a shite, but that doesn't change the fact that the list you posted is not believable.

It doesn't seem like you understand what a natural distribution is... People that go to college are not a natural distribution, especially in the years before everyone got access to colleges.
Buddy, you are struggling. This is going to go down as dumb as your various takes on Canada.

Do you expect all math majors and all social science majors to have the same IQ?
Look at the list you posted again. There are several social sciences listed that have scores which are well within the range of math-heavy subjects, and depending on what the hell 'Other Humanities and Art' means in terms of degrees, equal to some.
quote:

Again, look at your list you yourself posted.
quote:
See why this is not a natural distribution.
Again, you immensely dense moron, IQ is distributed that way, and given that distribution, it seems even more unlikely that some of those fields have such high IQs. Again, look closely at your list and then tell me what 'Engineering' is supposed represent. Since you apparently don't care about the content of your list, it is between Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering. And among the highest is philosophy, which is a field which basically no one regards highly and has no immediate job prospects, as it is not a vocational degree.

They should just build the fricking F-23.
quote:
Look if you aren't intelligent enough to actually respond with data then I guess what you have left is vague "This must not be right" claims.
Look at the content of the list itself. What is 'other humanities and art' exactly? Furthermore, the notion that these graduates, some of which are quite silly degrees, are all nearly 1 standard deviation from the median, with several being at the cusp of MENSA membership, is not something that I can believe without stronger evidence.
quote:
Do you think getting a college degree in social work means you are intelligent?
Do you understand what IQ scores represent? Because the entirety of the list you posted suggests all those degrees are above the median, and every degree with a score above 112 or so being one standard deviation above the norm. It doesn't seem like you understand what a natural distribution is.
quote:
But it matches with human experience where some degrees lead to rocket science, and others lead to filling out forms for the homeless.
There are several things that are idiotic about it.

Why is this noteworthy at all?
Lol that list beggars belief.
