The first study is here: https://www.nature.com/articles/srep40700#discussion

<Here, across three studies, we find that first impressions of individuals with ASD made from thin slices of real-world social behavior by typically-developing observers are not only far less favorable across a range of trait judgments compared to controls, but also are associated with reduced intentions to pursue social interaction. These patterns are remarkably robust, occur within seconds, do not change with increased exposure, and persist across both child and adult age groups. However, these biases disappear when impressions are based on conversational content lacking audio-visual cues, suggesting that style, not substance, drives negative impressions of ASD.

A source for the second claim, based on the social skills of children, is here: https://www.spectrumnews.org/news/get-autism-diagnosis-girls-need-worse-social-skills-boys/
The claim is that autism is underdiagnosed in females, and therefore women have to exhibit stronger autistic symptoms to get a diagnosis. From my anecdotal experience this is eminently plausible. I also think it's plausible that mild autism is specifically more debilitating for men, because in sexual relationships it's typically women who actually select and initiate them. They do this by sending nonverbal "signals" of interest that autists are unable to detect, and therefore they are left trying to dig for treasure without a metal detector. This also cuts them off from many of the economic benefits of having a romantic partner.

"Rich Peasant" class background:


The son of Mao Enpu (1846-1904), he was raised into a poverty-stricken family of peasants. Marrying Wen Qimei when he was ten, he subsequently served for two years in the Xiang Army. Returning to agriculture, he became a moneylender and grain merchant, buying up local grain and selling it in the city for a higher price, becoming one of the wealthiest farmers in Shaoshan, with 20 acres of land. He and Wen had four surviving children, Zedong, Zemin, Zetan, and Zejian, the latter of whom was adopted.

The thing is, paradoxically, helping others helps yourself.
If you want to become the best at something you need to have competent people to practice with, in order for people with natural talent for the field to rise to the top you have to give all people a basic standard of living.
If you want to stretch the limits of human ability you have to have competent rivals to hone your skills against and this is as true for basketball as it is for science.

Why does reddit hate china so much? Is it all eglin air force base's doing and other glowing bots? It's beyond even hating "muh ccp" you see outright anti-Chinese racism and apologists for Japanese WW2 war crimes like Rape of Nanjing. Covid has made it even worse.

I feel like this bullshit is manufacturing consent for a war with China, with asians probably taking the place of muslims as the hated minority in the west.

Threw my two cents on that irritating website one time. Nothing remotely bad compare to what's posted there on average. In fact, it was just a response to a user that asked why people "simp" for china. First of all, the word simp is over used. Anyway, I told explain to them and I was immediately down voted into hell itself. It was so bad that satan shook his head when he saw me. Now you're probably, what did I say that struck a nerve with the conservatives on reddit? I'll make a long story short since this post is getting a little bit too long. Simply put, how in china everyone is on equal footing. How it encourages equality in a community that no one wants to be above one another. Apparently that was too much for rightoids to understand. There must have been rules that I wasn't aware of that stated I mustn't speak good of the EVIL china. of what. It still baffles me how I was just saying the objectively truth and I was abused for it. I know that word, "abuse" may seem exaggerate but I was literally locked out of that subreddit. I had negative karma and I wasn't allow to use reddit anymore :/ While yes, i'm aware not all of reddit is echo chamber, perhaps you could drop a few good subreddits to go to if you feel like it. But still… too many close minded people dominate that part of the internet.

late news, but Commander X, aka Christopher Doyon, was arrested in Mexico on US orders recently. He was an 'anonymous' hacktivist in the early 2010s. Just goes to show the feds never forget.

If you've never read his book, "Behind The Mask: An Inside Look At Anonymous" I suggest giving it a read, it's actually pretty entertaining, and a blast from the past for those of you who were around in the early 2010s occupy wall street/hacktivist/arab spring/movement of the squares era.

It's a retelling of his own, admittedly minor role in this sage and his arrest for hacking from which he's been a fugitive for years.

But now, the feds got him in mexico

<Karl Marx called his system “scientific socialism.” Modern leftists advocate a similar ideology and call themselves “woke” to indicate that they understand the world better than the rest of us. Yet the worldview of Marxists and woke leftists alike is fundamentally primitive.
<Folk economics is the economics of people untrained in economics. It is the economic view of the world that evolved in our brains before the development of the modern economy. During this period of evolution the economy was simple, with little specialization except by age and sex, no economic growth, no technological change, limited trade, little capital, and warfare between neighboring tribes.
<Zero-sum thinking was well-adapted to this world. Since there was no economic growth, incomes and wealth didn’t grow. If one person had access to more food or other goods, or greater access to females, it was likely because of expropriation from others. Since there was little capital, a “labor theory of value”—the idea that all value is created by labor alone—would have been appropriate, and there was little need to protect capital through property rights. Frequent warfare encouraged xenophobia.
<Adam Smith and other economists challenged this worldview in the 18th century. They taught that specialization of labor was valuable, that capital was productive, and that labor and capital could work together to increase income. They also showed that property rights needed protection, that members of other tribes or groups could cooperate through trade, that wealth could be created with the proper incentives, and that the creation of wealth would benefit everyone in a society, not only the wealthy. Most important, they showed that a complex economy could work with little or no central direction.
<Marx’s economic system was based on the primitive worldview of our ancestors. For him, conflict rather than cooperation between labor and capital defined the economy. He thought that the wealthy became rich only by exploiting the poor, that all income came from labor, and that the economy needed central direction because he didn’t believe markets were good at self-correction.

For the vast majority of human beings over time, poverty is probably a norm, given how human existence has been structured.

However, for most of the human temporal experience, poverty was not normal. Our evolved niche was for an egalitarian hunter-gatherer band with relatively high quantities of protein. When the Agricultural Revolution hit, however, the vast majority of people became serfs, peasants, farmers, and nutrition levels dropped. States arose to extract wealth from the producing agricultural base. It's only been with the late stage of capitalism (and only in developed countries) that general nutrition levels have reached pre-Agricultural Revolution levels.

Okay, ignoring just woke libs, why is modern day liberalism in general such a fucking retarded ideology with such fucking retarded justifications for itself? I mean ALL liberals, that includes “Republicans”, almost all EU political parties, the Jap government, etc.
But particularly the Anglosphere seems to have especially retarded justifications for liberalism voided of all logic or even basic adult thinking, like it’s just meant to shut down the minds of people who are nearly toddlers

Did liberal theorists genuinely grow stupider over the past 100 years?

He is not entirely wrong. Even in mathematics at some point one returns to some set of definitions and axioms which are by definition not justified.

Something analogous is the case with normativity and ideology.

Its why I often argue that it is impossible to convert the radical liberal on the basis of reason by itself because at the root he has different values, concerns and tools to interpret the world.

Just because development is uneven doesn't mean that it doesn't follow a predictable trajectory. The west outsourced production because it was cheaper to invest in industrializing pre-industrial countries (and siphon profit from them) than it was to industrialize further in the already-industrialized countries. There's a limit on that according to technology, and capitalism abhors stagnation. But production is becoming more automated, and the more automated it gets the fewer workers you need engaged in direct production, meaning the more you put toward service sectors that still produce some value, even though not in a physically crystallized form (it's simply consumed as it is produced). That too can be automated, at which point people find something else to do, and if you can't make things or do things for people what is left is information-based work, whether that's educating, generating new ideas or just idly entertaining people.

I didn't say that, but it's at a point where there's a significant amount of productive labor you can cut out that you will have more people than productive labor to give them. Whether you divide the production evenly or only give it to some people, you will still end up with a lot of available man-hours that people will find other uses for.
