I wanted to go work out, but then a bad thing happened and now I have no energy for anything, so I guess Ill just make my way home and cry myself to sleep.

What happened?

>unpaid internship
dont do that shit lol. only trash companies do that so its not even worth trying to get hired there

>>822696
Its part of a course to get certification, when I wrote "in hopes of getting employed in the future" I didnt mean at that place specifically. But boss there did say they are looking for someone and expressed interest in potentially hiring me afterwards, but then it just, I dont know, petered out. I dont know what I did wrong, if anything.

A short question quiz about the world which has two odd characteristics:
  1. The more educated you are, the worse you perform
  2. Most people perform worse than random chance.


How well did you do? Be honest, this is an anonymous board.

I think people kind of underestimate how much improvement there has been in the standard of living in the third world, not just China, so that's where most of the wrong answers might come from.

>>817298
Yes that's the intention of the quiz, and they're also right. There really has been a huge improvement in QoL in poor countries.

I think where people in rich countries falter is that they don't realize poverty is a huge spectrum. From rich country POV, you only have poor country where people live in slums, middle country where people live in small apartments and minimal treats, then rich country with clean cities and lots of treats.

But the reality is that the widest part of this spectrum in the poor country part. There is a wide gap between the standard of living between someone from Niger and India. There is another wide gap between India and Botswana. There is another wide gap between Botswana and Thailand. All of these are just classified as third world, but the difference between each pair is bigger than any differences between first world countries and second world countries.

I got 2/13.

My result is so good that the message I got is shittily written because the person designing this did not expect it :D
<Your result is 13 / 13.
<Wow, this is impressive.
<You responded to 13 question(s) out of 13. No answer was regarded as bad answer in your result.
<See above to compare your answers with correct ones. If you want to try once more, please click reset button.

>>817311
Damn I'm not the only one.
>Im a STEMlord but I do enough reading of demographics just for fun that I knew the correct answers
I do know that some things aren't as bleak as online doomers have it because of Steve Pinker. I don't read Pinker, but I have read China boosters being mad at Pinker for not giving proper credit to China on these issues. Remove China from the picture and the trends don't look nearly as good. The animal question I did not know about, so I was doing reverse psychology: So I'm designing a contrarian quiz… The thing about natural disasters I did not know either, I just reckoned about how important communication technology & speed of transport is to improving the reaction.

Here is my impression of Factfulness, the 2018 book by Hans Rosling, Anna Rosling Rönnlund and Ola Rosling, whose work was the basis for this quiz.

On the back is a blurb by Bill Gates praising it, inside Rossling is praising the philanthropy of Gates. It would have been a good book if not for the misleading representation of income inequality downplaying differences especially within nations. In chapter 1, you get shown several graphs "proving" that when it comes to income, most humans are part of the big, healthy, juicy, middle. But the money axis is logarithmic! The text around these graphs does not explain or even acknowledge that choice. Then later, at the end of chapter 3, Rossling suddenly drops the wisdom that what matters to you is your income changing in terms of proportion, and then instantly moves on to something else. So that was the "explanation".

I got another graph for you.

even if that's true it's not a secret that Israel actively tries to import more caucasians and slavs to replace whatever melanin remains in their blood

>>822338
They could import every jew on the planet and they would still be a minority

>>822321
True. Doing it all in the name of """kibbutz""". If palestinians aren't doing it to you then why should you do it to them?

What about when the government does stuff for BBC?

To summarize: Israel is Bolshevist (because jews) and Zionist (because they kill brown people). Much of the world is fascist. America is fascist and liberal and also zionist. China is socialist and NOT capitalist. The British Empire was zionist. Liechtenstein is feudalist and monarchist. CHAZ was libertarian but not anarchist. The USSR was nat-trot because they didn't like the government and split. They were NOT bolshevist. Nazi Germany was primitivist (because hoomin nature) but NOT national-socialist because I don't like Germans.

OP here.

Give me a good reason.



 

Stop having children. There are more than enough people on the planet as it is, we don't need any more. We're all full up, thank you. Stop. Having. Kids. Reasons to stop having kids:

  1. They consume too many resources over the course of their life; your kid drains resources from the rest of the world. Is that what you want?
  2. Human beings contribute to ecological ruin through overfishing, deforestation, and other such activity, and that includes human overpopulation
  3. Your kid probably won't amount to much anyway, and if the technocrats succeed in making AI that displaces the entire workforce, then your kid will live in squalor as a result of a lack of economic opportunity, and that's the last thing you want, right?
  4. The Halocene Extinction is ongoing and we're all going to die, DON'T YOU GET IT, WE'RE ALL GOING TO DIE, LARGE SWATHES OF THE PLANET WILL BECOME INHOSPITABLE AND WE'LL BE PACKED LIKE SARDINES INTO THE LANDMASSES THAT ARE LEFT. Is that what you want, for your kid to live in jobless purposeless squalor in a slum with third-worlders from the global south, who they have to fight against tooth and nail in order to secure for themselves what little resources that remain?
  5. Kids are a pain in the ass anyway, and you won't be able to write that book, or develop that game, or do whatever it is that you wanted to do if you have to drop everything to tend to your child (and you're a piece of shit if you delegate the child rearing to someone else like your in-laws)
  6. Basically, there are no upsides to having a child, save for the boost to your ego that you might gain for having successfully achieved the biological imperative (not that impressive, I know crackheads who managed to pop out some kids)


There are many more reasons, I'm sure, but that's more than enough for you to chew on. STOP. HAVING. CHILDREN. STOP IT. Don't do it. You help no one, least of all the child you bring into this boiling piss pot of a planet.

  1. ⁠Everything that exists has attributable characteristics (for example, water is blue, grass is green, air is a gas, etc.)
  2. ⁠Existence exists.
  3. ⁠Therefore, existence has attributable characteristics
  4. ⁠If not, then existence is the only thing that exists without attributable characteristics
  5. Therefore, existence is the only thing that simply exists without any attributable characteristics
