IQ differences between the racial groups is one of the most, if not the most, replicated findings in psychology.

Difference in IQ test scores between racial groups in the United States is established and replicated. Differences in innate intelligence are not. It's not hard to intuit the difference; you just ask yourself, "I wonder what else could have been different between racial groups in the United States at the time these surveys were conducted?".

It replicates worldwide, it's not a US thing.

What do you mean "it replicates worldwide"? What replication are you referring to?

Oh Yurop how far you have fallen

Driving is heavily regulated, and there are a million interest groups lining up to sue to stop self-driving. Imagine all the people who make their money from car crashes, for example.

Same here - Brave browser. Only British works

I started noticing awhile ago that you seem to have this pipeline in scientific/academic reporting that goes academic paper -> press release -> science journalists -> regular journalists -> Facebook/Reddit.

Even if the original authors never say anything about causation, inevitably the language of correlation (related to, is linked to, associated with, correlated with, coincides with, etc.) will turn into the language of causation (leads to, increases/decreases, has an effect on, causes, etc.) somewhere in this pipeline.

Then suddenly everybody around you is talking about how going to bed with shoes on causes headaches, or goes playing tennis increases longevity. There is some atrocious science journalism out there

I've seen plenty of papers that assume causation in the summary, with no evidence whatsoever, so bad science can occur at the source, too.

I like this article: Does X cause Y? An in-depth evidence review (https://www.cold-takes.com/does-x-cause-y-an-in-depth-eviden...)

I had no idea that cameras were walking the streets and arresting people in America. Only the police should be able to do that. They are clearly far more competent. Oh wait-I just read the article...

and yet, without the camera this woman would not have been arrested.

The problem is the police-camera system, of which the camera is an instrumental component

How many decades have we been helping Africa for, and for what?

It went, primarily, to their politicians and warlords. The West needs to face the fact that we aren’t the world’s savior, and fixing other countries problems is not our job.

When Ebola is eating your face you will find out for what.

Africa might be the least fortunate people but you don't get a pass for ignoring that and not helping, we're all in this together, like it or not.

To prevent countless thousands of easily preventable deaths. Human problems don't just stop at some point, especially in poor areas that are also getting hit the hardest by climate change. Are you also upset that western countries have been giving their poorest citizens food for decades?

Such a bad take. Africa was still mostly colonies until the mid 20th century. And today, it's ruled by corrupt dictators that the North ensures stay in place so they can bribe their ways to getting concessions, to extract resources and cheap labor.

Looking at import/export and capital flows, any "helping" we did was nothing but the barest of compensation for the ongoing massive theft of Africa's wealth.

Why ever help people in need?

Given what happened this past 2 weeks, I can't imagine that would be so popular right now

This past two weeks specifically? I'm not sure what you're referring to.

In any case, getting the facts straight generally isn't that popular, but it can be very effective.

Probably that british professor who killed himself after getting exposed for fraud.
