They have smaller datasets right now. The best existing model today explains around 8% of the total variance in IQ. It will approach a level close to the 40% height number once there is a high quality dataset with a few million people. |
Well, I guess on brand. It wasn't meant as a compliment, to be clear. |
I don’t care if it’s meant to be a compliment or not. I just found it amusing because it is kinda true. I never thought about this before. |
I can totally imagine in 30 years when someone posts on DCUM about problems their child is having, other posters will huff "well, did you screen for that in IVF? What do you expect? You were too cheap to screen and now you want to complain?" So gross. |
Also, the phrase "poor man's" does not mean "having much less money than" https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/poor%20man%27s |
LOL. Either you're playing dumb or you're not very familiar with the angel scene. In any case, investor or not, you admit that you're not the would-be customer you claimed to be in the OP. More likely, you are affiliated or considering an affiliation with one of these companies. That explains why you're promoting this so hard. |
Alright, thanks for pointing this out. I’m surprised I missed the actual meaning of this phrase. |
Oh got it, you have a degree and you’re part of the secret conversations about how this all really works but no one wants to talk about it…. Except you. Got it. That all sounds reasonable. |
Sure, I mean, I think the first thing you missed when you supposedly contributed to this paper is that you didn’t include IQ anywhere, which is the subject of the current question. I didn’t realize DCUM attracted so many published academics commenting on their own work! |
If you get a couple of drinks into OP, they will start telling you about the real IQ stuff nobody wants to talk about. |
This is the express lane to autism. This is actually well studied by scientists. "Assortative mating". |
I don't understand why OP would spend $40K on this. A few IQ points is marginal lifetime benefit compared to putting in Bitcoin now before it shoots to the moon. |
I think Bitcoin is a scam tbh. This says a lot coming from me because everyone else on here seems to think I am very foolish or crazy. I'm not sure if you are being serious about this comment, but I want one of the Bitcoin bros to explain to me why it makes sense that Bitcoin can continue to appreciate rapidly when the market cap is already around a trillion dollars. The market cap of the global equity market is around 130 trillion. At least equities provide ownership in the potential future profits of a company. Bitcoin is more like owning a gold bar, except you cannot actually use it to make electronics or jewelry, and it consumes a lot of electricity. So if anything the intrinsic value is even worse than precious metals. It does not seem reasonably plausible to me that Bitcoin go to the moon again and even come close to exceeding the value of the entire global stock market. I think it is more likely that Bitcoin will become the 21st century version of tulip mania than a decentralized currency that replaces the US dollar. |
That's a nice theory, but it is not accurate. If I actually cared to promote something I would run this stuff through some sort of software for spell checking and typos. I am too lazy to do that on a forum. Maybe I don't understand angel investing well. Correct me if I am wrong, but I think there are limits on the number of non-accredited investors that can participate in certain types of investment offerings. There was a company I had the chance to invest in but they wanted a ridiculous minimum investment that I could not afford. |
If I guessed Jeff’s daily write up correctly then he seems to think the OP is a troll. |
