Only success matters, attempts are unimportant.

Everyone Loves to Hate Wind Power. Scotland Found a Way to Make It Pay Off Projects on the Isle of Lewis were stalled for decades, but the perseverance of local leaders overcame regulatory obstacles and community concerns.

Who supports a Community Money Tree?

Language/marketing is important. Pick the 'correct' descriptor, and gain support.

Pick poorly, and see your effort suffer.

Then you believe other race (Black/Asian/Hispanic/....) don't have racism?

Or do you believe that other races could see their racism ended by an 'outside' race?

Yes, I am dumb. There are many, many, many aspects of knowledge I lack.

Asking questions is how I learn more.

Do you categorize yourself as dumb?

.... to my question.... are you stating only people who identify as White can end racism?

Hard to end something that 'I' believe doesn't exist.
<Note - I personally know it exists, but others disagree>

Also curious why the modifier 'white'? Are you stating they're the only ones with the ability to end this?

Where did you park?

Homeland Security on X: "On June 13, 2025, ICE arrested Cynthia Ivanna Olivera, an illegal alien from Canada, who was previously deported and chose to ignore our law and again illegally entered the country. A judge issued her a final order of removal in 1999, and she was deported to Canada. That same" / X On June 13, 2025, ICE arrested Cynthia Ivanna Olivera, an illegal alien from Canada, who was previously deported and chose to ignore our law and again illegally entered the country.

Curious; how should the US manage people like Cynthia Olivera?

Should she/all be permitted to Trespass for 25 years?
Or be removed, by the gov't?

What, in your opinion, should be done?

Note - I believe ICE is currently acting unethically, but the work needs doing.

Extra penny in my paycheck!

Nice to confirm I human.

I like 'adaptability' measure.

When water levels are low, Plants adapt by dropping leaves.
Other creatures adapt differently.

Unsure how to compare which adaption method is 'best'; other than humans 'create' new water source to their location (sometimes).

My (non-scientist) definition is it measures adaptability. How well can a species/individual adapt to good/bad luck?

I agree, it may not exist, hence my plea for one.

If it pays the bills....

Sounds like you're saying because it's not 100% perfect, it shouldn't be done.

Agree that no test is perfect.

By test design, humans have an average IQ of 100.
Apparently Chimp's have a ~42 IQ.

Dumb question; why does America care so much?

I don't need to know what genitalia is under your pants/skirt.

And I don't understand why anyone else should care either.

If you want to color your hair silver, that's weird, but you do you.
If your genitalia needs changing, that's weird, but u do u

I've only lightly seen it; but feel's like LLM's advantage is superior composition skills.

Specifically, it takes existing written knowledge, and packages it in a form that's easier to read.

"isn’t a single definition for humans"
True. But there are definitions.

For other creators, I know of no definition.

Plus, as we define it for BI's; then we can start on AI's; and improve the definition for Humans.

Definition:
"Intelligence", a measure of adaptability to adversity.

Obviously biological capability (plants can't relocate) has an impact on adaptability to adversity.

One possible measure; how long does it take for an organism to search and find the 'sweet spot' for growth?

Sounds like what happened with Cynthia Ivanna Olivera.
She was here illegally, but issued a work permit.

Assuming Jon Luke Evans was also issued a work permit by the gov't, and E-Verify validated the permit existed.

Marginal cost.
An article costs ~$0 to provide to a single reader.
Food delivery includes the 'extra' gas cost, among other things.

Paywall's are a funding mechanism for future results.
Almost like buying a Kindle. You're paying today for the ability to read future books on a 'comfortable' device.

Judge throws out Trump’s lawsuit against Illinois over sanctuary policies The case is just one in a series of lawsuits DOJ has filed against blue states and cities.

@joshgerstein.bsky.social I enjoyed your article, but had a small question.
"unconstitutionally discriminated against the federal government"
What law exists prohibiting discrimination against the federal government?

www.politico.com/news/2025/07...

From the original case:
" unlawfully discriminating against the federal government"

How is this illegal?
Assuming (big assumption) local police are less helpful to federal, vs state, how is this illegal?
What law mandates equal treatment to 'outside' government agencies?

Admitting where knowledge is lacking demonstrates the willingness to learn, and self wisdom.

Mastering this concept can create both short and long term success.

College helps students obtain economic success.
College helps students obtain knowledge; Philosophy is especially useful here.

For each philosophy lecture, how will it help the student obtain economic success?

The knowledge of how to design a stable bridge is valued.

Philosophy can teach what questions to ask, to get to the truth.

Example, local conditions influence design.
American homes use Wood vs Brick Euro homes.
How does a P lecture lead to asking correct questions for bridge design?

Ethical reasoning is 'worthless' (low value) for economic success. It's valuable for personal success.

Start with Epistemology, and JTB, using the Twin's crime example.

Life success comes from understanding what is True, what's False; and the ability to explain the diff.

The Allegory of the Cave is 'true', knowledge is resisted.
P class should explore how to handle this.

We need a Biological Intelligence scale.
