I went to China about 20 years ago which at the time had a PPP-adjusted GDP per capita about an eighth of the US.
Despite this certain things just worked really well: everyone used mass transit in a civil manner, shoplifting didn’t seem a thing, water was potable and cities had working sewerage systems.
Nonetheless there were beggars and some litter but it most reminded me of a lot of Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Basically a competent population whose entrepreneurial spirit had been squashed by communism.
China has progressed ever since. Now I can order a dozen different items on Temu or Shein and it arrives in my house 10 days later for $80. India, Brazil and any number of places are closer to me but haven’t evolved this kind of highly complex production and logistics capacity.
Obviously, the paper shouldn't have been cancelled or anything, and is tonnes better than the leftoid gibberish that represents getting of for 50% of humanities research today, but still it seems that Rindermann's anecdotes confuses a suite of northern European personality traits (what in America would be called 'waspiness') with intelligence. If you go to a Ashkenazi Charedi district in the US or Israel, they have a bit of a Neapolitan vibe to them, but it's not because of low IQ. And, even taking Northern Europeans as the default reference point, some of the anecdotes seem more about culture than innate personality traits. Do you think German soldiers in WW2 refrained from making insulting comments to Jewish children?
I agree with this. There's an additional Mediterranean quotient (color, noise, vibrancy, graffiti, love for physical proximity) that's independent of IQ, and Heiner as a punctilious German doesn't properly account for it. The museum not being where Emil Kirkegaard wanted it to be because Google Maps said so is classic Virgin Scandi vs. Chad Med stuff. That said, adjusting for those factors, I did get quite a bit of Third World experience the past couple of years, so I definitely get what he's talking about and agree with his observations that everyday competence levels just get a lot lower as you go down the national IQ gradient.
The museum reviews were fake presumably, just like the taxi drivers try to scam you. I was stuck in a town once and needed to get 10 km. Took me more than an hour to get a taxi (no apps worked there), had to get a cafe waitress to 'call a friend'. Taxi driver then looked at the size of my airbnb on Google maps and said "120 euro". It's a 10 minute drive. I was so angry I walked 2 hours in the dark to get there. My friends couldn't believe it, but it wasn't too bad.
I think public cleanliness is an excellent measure of the tendency of a population towards conscientiousness at individual level and organisational capacity at group level. Conscientious people tend not to litter much, and also be very effective at collecting litter of other people.
I could quibble with this because public littering is historically quite amenable to public policy, but it doesn't matter here at all because conscientiousness is not intelligence.
Ok, fair point. I had assumed the correlation was mediated through conscientiousness, but it seems that's not the case and intelligence and conscientiousness aren't even correlated (probably, much).
I'll repeat, though, that Rindermann's anecdotes are really pointing to a low 'General Factor of Germanness' and not low intelligence per se. Of course, it's not uncorrelated. but it's not the same thing either.
Why not? Obviously the innate German personality type is compatible with a range of cultural expressions, including both Merkelism and Nazism. No doubt, this range is not limitless, but there's no reason to think the current form of Germanness is more natural that other quite recent historical forms. Rindermann observes some gross behaviour and states 'How can an adult say such a thing to a child?' as if this ipso facto indicates low intelligence. But I could say 'what kind of adult would round up a bunch of women and children and shoot them into a pit?', which doesn't seem like a valid argument to prove Germans are unintelligent.
Germany is an occupied country managing its and Europe's native population's decline and ultimately extinction. We've just had" Reformation Day" celebrating Martin Luther who sought to cleanse the Christian church of corruption yet triggered conflict that cost 30 million lives and economic devastation and scarcely gave a thought to it. His fundamentalism led him to take that "moral" position at a time that christendom itself was under attack from the Ottoman Turks and could have seen central Europe become like the Balkans. Yet history judges him as a positive figure.
One easily correctable (or it would be easy if medical professionals understood the research https:// vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ properly) cause of intellectual, cognitive and likely poorer outcomes in emotions/affect is inadequate circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D, especially in utero, but surely all through life.
The problems begin before birth: https:// vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#3.2, with preeclampsia, pre-term birth, sepsis and the later development of autism, ADHD, intellectual disability and schizophrenia.
People in developing countries tend to have dark or black skin. This might have been OK for their (and everyone's) ancestors getting around in equatorial direct sunshine most of the day, without much in the way of clothing (except during the monsoon), but this pigmentation leads to very low levels of vitamin D3 production in the skin, with modern clothing, housing, buildings in general (shadows and shade in dense urban areas) and vehicles. (The ca. 293 nanometre ultraviolet B light which breaks a carbon ring in 7-dehydrocholesterol, to make vitamin D3 cholecalciferol is blocked by glass, sunscreen and clothing and by shallow sun angles with the path through the ozone layer and the rest of the atmosphere.)
UV-B skin exposure and foods, fortified with vitamin D3 or not, cannot safely and reliably attain the 50 ng/mL (125 nmol/L = 1 part in 20,000,000 by mass) level of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D (made primarily in the liver from vitamin D3 cholecalciferol, and as measured in "vitamin D" blood tests) which the immune system needs to function properly. The kidneys can regulate calcium-phosphate-bone metabolism with just 20 ng/mL 25-hydroxyvitamin D, but many people with pigmented skin have less than this, especially when living far from the equator.
Many types of immune cells, and other cell types such as those involved in neurodevelopment (though the specific cell types have not yet been identified, as far as I know) require a good supply of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, in their cytosol, via diffusion from the bloodstream and passively through the cell's plasma membrane, to run their 25-hydroxyvitamin D to calcitriol (1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D) intracrine and paracrine signaling systems.
Intracrine signaling is within the cell and paracrine signaling is to nearby cells, including those of different types.- and both systems are unrelated to hormonal signaling. They play a crucial role in enabling each such cell to respond to its changing circumstances. Most medical professionals and immunologists have never heard of these systems, in part due to them being discovered only in the last 20 years and due to there being no peer-reviewed tutorial introduction to them. I wrote such an explanation: https://vitamindstopscovid.info/02-intracrine/ .
Fortunately, vitamin D3 supplementation in small quantities will attain this 25-hydroxyvitamin D level after several months, with the amount to take, on average, per day, depending on body weight and obesity status, with no need for medical monitoring or 25-hydroxyvitamin D blood tests: New Jersey based Professor of Medicine Sunil Wimalawansa has such recommendations https:// vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/#00-how-much. These are based on his article: "Rapidly Increasing Serum 25(OH)D Boosts the Immune System, against Infections - Sepsis and COVID-19" Nutrients 2022-07-21 http:// www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/14/14/2997 as simplified somewhat in his FLCCC webinar: https:// odysee.com/@FrontlineCovid19CriticalCareAlliance:c/ Weeekly_Webinar_Aug16_2023:d?t=3386.
0.125 mg (5000 IU) a day on average is sufficient for 70 kg 154 lb body weight without obesity. This is about 8 times greater than what governments and many doctors recommend.
"5000 IUs a day" sounds like a lot, but it is 1/8000th of a gram = 1 gram every 22 years. Pharma grade vitamin D3 costs about USD$2.50 a gram ex-factory. A credit card weighs 5 grams.
Without proper vitamin D3 supplementation such as this, most people - at least in winter - have half or less (down to 1/10th) of the 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D they need to be healthy. In equatorial areas, where most developing countries are located, there is more UV-B flux, but the people tend to have darker skin. Their 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels may be somewhat better than the terribly low levels found in white people far from the equator (in the absence of vitamin D3 supplementation) and their levels will on average be better than the frequently disastrously low (5 to 10 ng/mL) dark-skinned people who live in the northern United States, Canada, UK, Germany, Scandinavia etc. However, low 25-hydroxyvitamin D is still an easily correctable cause of cognitive problems in most or all countries, including developing countries.
Just another instance of the radical leftist "woke science" censorship and bias. They're just trying to suppress the truth that does not fit their false, utopian narrative. Media, academia, activists, bureaucrats - they are just a bunch of lairs and propagandists. This is all there is to this topic.
There's a direct correlation between wealth and IQ.
1. Malnutrition impacts brain development
2. Wealth improves education which has a direct impact on IQ tests
This is seen inside a country.
So the result shouldn't be considered racism, but just a confirmation.
What’s your best way to wake-up those who don’t want to open their eyes?
Please share your most effective wake-up strategies.
The more the awakened, the sooner this nightmare will be over!
The most effective strategy is asking about the person’s opinion on some of these topics:
Illuminati Attali, finest quotes:
Note the year, 2006, how long have they been preparing the pandemic? !!!
"We will find something or cause it; a pandemic that targets certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus that will affect the old or the elderly, it does not matter; the weak and the fearful will succumb. The stupid will believe it and ask to be treated. We will have taken care of having planned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution. The selection of idiots will therefore be done by itself: they will go to the slaughterhouse alone.":
Then, show that every single person on the planet should be suing Pfizer and Moderna for deliberately hiding human DNA in their vaccines, and Pfizer, for injecting an undisclosed carcinogenic monkey virus (SV40) sequence into the cell nucleus of the clueless biohacked, as officially recognized by Health Canada !!!

9/11: two "planes", yet 8 towers down, including unblemished Deutsche Bank and WTC7 imploded, free falling on its footprint, in a controlled demolition. It was out of reach, and all 7 World Trade Center towers needed to be rebuilt, not the closer towers not belonging to World Trade Center... and the “owner” took an insurance policy for the WTC against terrorism, just months before, when no one was taking them … he didn’t show up for work precisely on 9/11 … just as his 2 grown up siblings. The inside information about the FUTURE 9/11 event helped masons make trillions by shorting the stock exchange: the records were deleted by the SEC so they wouldn't be prosecuted !!!
- J6: The false flag operation of the fake riot was planned, incited and guided by 200 infiltrated FBI mason agents, who broke into the Capitol !!! All intel agencies (CIA, FBI, NSA) were founded by masons and are run by them for their own nefarious goals.
In 2022, the same mason-plot was copy-pasted to disband the demonstrations of millions of Brazilians against the stolen elections through the rigged voting machines owned by mason Soros:
- At least since the 90s, vaccines are weaponized to reduce the population, for example:
1. Adding hCG to infertilize women: lab detected in 30 countries
2. Overpassing the FDA 10 ng limit to human DNA “contamination” (tampering) by 2000%, thus causing neuro-damage (autism, asperger, tics, dyslexia in 29% of kids, etc.) and childhood cancer epidemic (n.b. leukemia, non-Hodgkin’s lymphomas)
“Only” 0.33% of excess deaths in the first 2 years (ca. 1% of the haxxed, mainly elderly).
The most important impact of the COVID haccines, population-wise, is lifelong infertility.
Births keep dropping even more dramatically. Yet the infertility bomb will fully explode in 20 years: a huge percentage of the babies of the haxxed pregnants and the haxxed children could be lifelong infertile.
If your unhaxxed children evade self-replicating haxxines (replicons) and marry haxxed ones, they will probably not have children ... just as planned: the only choice deliberately left for them will be infertile DNA-designed transhumanized babies, for an ever dependency on immoral IVF (for every IVF-born, 25 are lost or murdered), with a prohibitive cost (planned increasing prices of carbon-footprint monthly quotas tied to Central Bank Digital Currencies in their e-feudalism where we become serfs, slaves to be hunted down in slo-mo).
2. There's proof of deliberate geoengineering to increase global temperatures and droughts and decrease albedo by dissolving clouds with satellite Electro-Magnetic Frequencies.
3. Life involves a carbon cycle. A war on carbon is a war on life, causing food scarcity, increase in food prices and famines. Decarbonization is part of the plan to exterminate 95% of us.
- Apart from sin-empowered demons, what is their main source of power? NOT a coincidence that the USA left dollar convertibility to gold in 1971, precisely triggering the exponential government deficit coupled with the trade deficit and inflation.
This is the Achilles’ heel of all nations: the SSS (Satanic Secret Societies such as masonry) counterfeit paper money and digital assets and launder trillions with which they buy Banks, seats in the Federal Reserve (the only private-run Central Bank in the world), political careers and parties, puppeticians, judges, listed corporations, media, healthcare corporations and organizations, universities, foundations, etc.
Taking down central banking doesn't solve the problem. Their source of money is counterfeiting, fractional reserve banking and financial unbacked instruments (e.g. derivatives, debt over debt, compound interest above real growth, etc.).
They can act as long as the majority keeps daydreaming. Their worst nightmare is that people wake up, find out all the crimes, and seek justice/revenge. They are only 8000: 1 against a million. They are very scared and know they are walking a tight rope until CBDC full digi-tatorship.
We've got a very small window of opportunity to fight or ... die (they want to murder 95% of us).

"There's a direct correlation between wealth and IQ."
While it is true that those with higher intelligence have somewhat higher living standards, the correlation falls apart at the upper reaches of wealth and intelligence. At the level of very high wealth, rapaciousness and megalomania are the dominant traits, not intelligence. The quest for knowledge and truth dominates at the upper levels of intelligence, not wealth.
"Wealth improves education which has a direct impact on IQ tests."
This is a case of the cart before the horse. Education does not increase intelligence; those of higher intelligence seek higher education. College does not make you smarter; it makes you more knowledgeable (or that is the intention) and helps you utilize your intelligence.
If UV-B driven cutaneous production of vitamin D3 cholecalciferol is counted as part of nutrition, then it is not necessarily the case that the poor suffer worse healthy outcomes due to malnutrition. In 2021, some people in Nigeria noticed that wealthier people were suffering more COVID-19 infections and having worse outcomes than poor people, including the rich people's servants.
I guess this is not related to race and so differences in skin pigmentation. It is certainly not related to geography, since they are all in the same country, 5 to 14° north of the equator. It seems unlikely that the poor are exposed to less person-to-person contact which would make them more at risk of catching the disease.
The explanation is simple: wealthy people spend more time indoors and so have lower levels of vitamin D3 production in their skin than their servants and their families. This leads to a correspondingly lower level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is made by hydroxylating vitamin D3 on the 25th carbon, primarily in the liver. See my earlier comment and https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ in order to understand why the immune system needs at least 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D to function properly. The only safe and practical way to attain this all year round is proper vitamin D3 supplementation in quantities, which while small, are 5 or more times what governments and many doctors recommend.
Without vitamin D3 supplementation, the amount of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D depends very much on ultraviolet B irradiation of the skin. There is very little vitamin D3 (or the unnatural, less effective, yeast-based vitamin D2) in food, including that which is fortified with D3 or D2.
Even though both the wealthy and poor people may have had half to 1/10th of the circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D their immune system needs, if the poorer people had marginally more, such as ca. 20 ng/mL, while the rich people had 8 to 12 ng/mL, this makes a huge difference, on average, to the severity of COVID-19.
"Dr. Doyin Okupe, a medical doctor who was also Special Adviser on Media to former President Olusegun Obasanjo has attributed the low prevalence of Covid-19 among the poor to sunlight.
"Okupe who also suffered infection of the virus last year but survived submitted:
" 'People who are daily exposed to sunlight are able to convert some chemicals in their skins to vitamin D, especially D3. Scientists have incontrovertible evidence that Vitamin D seriously boosts human immunity and actually has the capacity to prevent respiratory and lung diseases.
In the case of Covid19, vitamin D3 can prevent infection in some people and in others who still get infected, it decreases the severity of the infection and recovery rate is far better.' "
Vast amounts of economic aid to prevent malnutrition (and disease) are sent to said countries each year with no change in cognitive ability, yet malnutrition is the issue? If malnutrition IS the issue, where does the money go anyway? It's stolen or wasted as you would expect in a low IQ society.
Honestly, it makes sense. If you punks reality, eventually people will be upset Jews encourage mass migration. You'll get a second Holocaust (read, the ending of domination by international finance, not necessarily Jewish genocide), the mass explosion of non-Whites, and worse yet, meaningful scientific and economic advancement, actually birthing the real space age and liberating us from this planet.
These are good things, but I get why the people running the show would be upset enough to prevent any such publications.
It means the author was 1) stupid, 2) cheating with the statistics, or 3) lucky, in that order of likelihood.
TL;DR it means two variables combine in a non-additive way, such that their effects depend on the values of each other, and aren't just a sum. This happens rarely in real datasets, so when authors report these results, they are mostly false positives unless the p value is very small. Because the lax statistical standards, a p = .04 interaction is very likely a false positive result, and it's unwise to make much of it.
It is common, in science, to regard a result which is calculated to have a significance of p = 0.05, or p less than or equal to 0.05, as being significant.
"p = 0.05" means that the deviation of the observation from what would be expected if there was no actual phenomenon to be observed is so great that such a deviation would only be observed, on average, in one of 20 such observations or experiments, due to the inherent noise AKA randomness in the observed data.
So an experimental or observational finding for which p is calculated as being 0.04 is just within the bounds of what is conventionally regarded as "significant".
Sometimes, journal articles will state that no trend or potentially interesting result was observed at all if the p value is greater than 0.05. This is a mistake, since the 0.05 is an arbitrary threshold, and observations with less statistical significance should still be reported. This is especially so if two relatively unrelated (in terms of observational errors, sampling errors) observations are somewhat significant, but not so much as to be p <= 0.05, but are related in a meaningful way so that the combination of the two observations is of particular interest regarding efforts to understand and explain the underlying processes or the outcomes of some kind of medical or nutritional intervention trial. For example
, two relatively distinct health benefits arising from the one intervention.
Thank you for the explanation. So basically the theory is that if we plotted all reported p values in research, we’d see some peak around 0.04 and a sharp cliff at 0.05. And that this behavior is a result of some arbitrary threshold and not some measure of true confidence in the results.
Just a little side comment with yet another anecdotal – and hopefully sort of funny – story.
There is a starking gap between the northern-native and the southern-native populations of Italy. One might say it's "just cultural", and I'm not aware of any studies looking at an actual IQ gap, but I find it hard to believe such "just cultural" differences aren't downstream from IQ, amongst other things of course. Also, I emphasize "native" because there has been such an influx of people from the South to the North in the past decades we got all bungled up together. But our differences show in ways that sometimes make living in close proximity pretty annoying.
I live near Milan. About a year ago a guy from – you guessed it – Naples moved into my condo and started making an incredible amount of noise. He blasted music from morning to evening; his whole family moved in for weeks during festivities and went on talking in the living room up to 2 am like it was mid-day; he played soccer with his nephew in the apartment, at night; he smoked weed on the balcony and the stench would enter other apartments, including mine. The neighbors started issuing complaints, I tried talking to him, but he... well, he's not ill intentioned in any way. He just doesn't have the faculties to understand. The only thing that finally put him at bay after some months was actual threats of being kicked out. Now he complies a little better, but he still doesn't understand.
I don't even know if that meets the definition of antisocial behavior or not. Wouldn't being antisocial imply some kind of intention, or conscious disregard for the well being of others? I haven't registered anything like that from him. Again, just complete lack of the ability to understand, or do any kind of impulse control – he also gained 30 pounds or so in a year, since he moved alone. It almost seems "the banality of evil" in reverse. Like "the evilness of banality", or something.
He recently got a girlfriend from South America. I have the impression we're about to repeat the whole cycle.
Just wondering: if the average national IQ of Italy and Greece are that low relative to Western Europe, how do we account for the great civilizations built by these two nations many centuries ago? Does average population IQ decline? Or certain other people just catch up in their IQ development?
I visited Saint Petersburg half a decade ago. It was OK certainly not as bad as Naples, but it was very low trust outside of the international tourist areas.
I went to China about 20 years ago which at the time had a PPP-adjusted GDP per capita about an eighth of the US.
Despite this certain things just worked really well: everyone used mass transit in a civil manner, shoplifting didn’t seem a thing, water was potable and cities had working sewerage systems.
Nonetheless there were beggars and some litter but it most reminded me of a lot of Eastern Europe in the 1990s. Basically a competent population whose entrepreneurial spirit had been squashed by communism.
China has progressed ever since. Now I can order a dozen different items on Temu or Shein and it arrives in my house 10 days later for $80. India, Brazil and any number of places are closer to me but haven’t evolved this kind of highly complex production and logistics capacity.
Who are these people to deny Heiner Rindermann's lived experience as a minority scholar in the Third World? Read the room!

Public cleanliness is also perfectly observable.

Various surveys show that littering correlates negatively with intelligence, as part of the antisocial cluster.

Their 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels may be somewhat better than the terribly low levels found in white people far from the equator (in the absence of vitamin D3 supplementation) and their levels will on average be better than the frequently disastrously low (5 to 10 ng/mL) dark-skinned people who live in the northern United States, Canada, UK, Germany, Scandinavia etc. However, low 25-hydroxyvitamin D is still an easily correctable cause of cognitive problems in most or all countries, including developing countries.
Whites in the USA have chronic low vit D levels and they don't turn to crime, they get the flu.

Gosh, why would a man in that position prefer to avoid any unpleasant discussion of population-level IQ discrepancies. Alas, an unsolvable mystery.
Just another instance of the radical leftist "woke science" censorship and bias. They're just trying to suppress the truth that does not fit their false, utopian narrative. Media, academia, activists, bureaucrats - they are just a bunch of lairs and propagandists. This is all there is to this topic.
There's a direct correlation between wealth and IQ.
1. Malnutrition impacts brain development
2. Wealth improves education which has a direct impact on IQ tests
This is seen inside a country.
So the result shouldn't be considered racism, but just a confirmation.

Illuminati Attali, finest quotes:
Note the year, 2006, how long have they been preparing the pandemic? !!!
"We will find something or cause it; a pandemic that targets certain people, a real economic crisis or not, a virus that will affect the old or the elderly, it does not matter; the weak and the fearful will succumb. The stupid will believe it and ask to be treated. We will have taken care of having planned the treatment, a treatment that will be the solution. The selection of idiots will therefore be done by itself: they will go to the slaughterhouse alone.":

Births keep dropping even more dramatically. Yet the infertility bomb will fully explode in 20 years: a huge percentage of the babies of the haxxed pregnants and the haxxed children could be lifelong infertile.
If your unhaxxed children evade self-replicating haxxines (replicons) and marry haxxed ones, they will probably not have children ... just as planned: the only choice deliberately left for them will be infertile DNA-designed transhumanized babies, for an ever dependency on immoral IVF (for every IVF-born, 25 are lost or murdered), with a prohibitive cost (planned increasing prices of carbon-footprint monthly quotas tied to Central Bank Digital Currencies in their e-feudalism where we become serfs, slaves to be hunted down in slo-mo).

Taking down central banking doesn't solve the problem. Their source of money is counterfeiting, fractional reserve banking and financial unbacked instruments (e.g. derivatives, debt over debt, compound interest above real growth, etc.).
They can act as long as the majority keeps daydreaming. Their worst nightmare is that people wake up, find out all the crimes, and seek justice/revenge. They are only 8000: 1 against a million. They are very scared and know they are walking a tight rope until CBDC full digi-tatorship.

"There's a direct correlation between wealth and IQ."
While it is true that those with higher intelligence have somewhat higher living standards, the correlation falls apart at the upper reaches of wealth and intelligence. At the level of very high wealth, rapaciousness and megalomania are the dominant traits, not intelligence. The quest for knowledge and truth dominates at the upper levels of intelligence, not wealth.
"Wealth improves education which has a direct impact on IQ tests."
This is a case of the cart before the horse. Education does not increase intelligence; those of higher intelligence seek higher education. College does not make you smarter; it makes you more knowledgeable (or that is the intention) and helps you utilize your intelligence.
Start reading the scientific literature about how wealth impacts IQ tests, even in genetic identical twins raised apart.
Blah blah blah cope lies blah blah
Don't give your keyboard to your cat, please =)))
If UV-B driven cutaneous production of vitamin D3 cholecalciferol is counted as part of nutrition, then it is not necessarily the case that the poor suffer worse healthy outcomes due to malnutrition. In 2021, some people in Nigeria noticed that wealthier people were suffering more COVID-19 infections and having worse outcomes than poor people, including the rich people's servants.
I guess this is not related to race and so differences in skin pigmentation. It is certainly not related to geography, since they are all in the same country, 5 to 14° north of the equator. It seems unlikely that the poor are exposed to less person-to-person contact which would make them more at risk of catching the disease.
The explanation is simple: wealthy people spend more time indoors and so have lower levels of vitamin D3 production in their skin than their servants and their families. This leads to a correspondingly lower level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D, which is made by hydroxylating vitamin D3 on the 25th carbon, primarily in the liver. See my earlier comment and https://vitamindstopscovid.info/00-evi/ in order to understand why the immune system needs at least 50 ng/mL 125 nmol/L circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D to function properly. The only safe and practical way to attain this all year round is proper vitamin D3 supplementation in quantities, which while small, are 5 or more times what governments and many doctors recommend.
Without vitamin D3 supplementation, the amount of circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D depends very much on ultraviolet B irradiation of the skin. There is very little vitamin D3 (or the unnatural, less effective, yeast-based vitamin D2) in food, including that which is fortified with D3 or D2.
Even though both the wealthy and poor people may have had half to 1/10th of the circulating 25-hydroxyvitamin D their immune system needs, if the poorer people had marginally more, such as ca. 20 ng/mL, while the rich people had 8 to 12 ng/mL, this makes a huge difference, on average, to the severity of COVID-19.
See: https://thenewsnigeria.com.ng/2021/01/13/doyin-okupe-exposure-to-sunlight-is-why-covid-19-spares-the-poor/
"Dr. Doyin Okupe, a medical doctor who was also Special Adviser on Media to former President Olusegun Obasanjo has attributed the low prevalence of Covid-19 among the poor to sunlight.
"Okupe who also suffered infection of the virus last year but survived submitted:
" 'People who are daily exposed to sunlight are able to convert some chemicals in their skins to vitamin D, especially D3. Scientists have incontrovertible evidence that Vitamin D seriously boosts human immunity and actually has the capacity to prevent respiratory and lung diseases.
In the case of Covid19, vitamin D3 can prevent infection in some people and in others who still get infected, it decreases the severity of the infection and recovery rate is far better.' "
Iodine is more critical for brain development but D3 can also help prenatal moms to prevent preeclampsia.
Vast amounts of economic aid to prevent malnutrition (and disease) are sent to said countries each year with no change in cognitive ability, yet malnutrition is the issue? If malnutrition IS the issue, where does the money go anyway? It's stolen or wasted as you would expect in a low IQ society.
Distributed Lysenkoism.
Virtue-signaling do-gooders will stop at nothing to avoid the truth. They are never to be trusted on research outcomes anathema to their beliefs
Honestly, it makes sense. If you punks reality, eventually people will be upset Jews encourage mass migration. You'll get a second Holocaust (read, the ending of domination by international finance, not necessarily Jewish genocide), the mass explosion of non-Whites, and worse yet, meaningful scientific and economic advancement, actually birthing the real space age and liberating us from this planet.
These are good things, but I get why the people running the show would be upset enough to prevent any such publications.
What is a p = .04 interaction?
It means the author was 1) stupid, 2) cheating with the statistics, or 3) lucky, in that order of likelihood.
TL;DR it means two variables combine in a non-additive way, such that their effects depend on the values of each other, and aren't just a sum. This happens rarely in real datasets, so when authors report these results, they are mostly false positives unless the p value is very small. Because the lax statistical standards, a p = .04 interaction is very likely a false positive result, and it's unwise to make much of it.
The letter 'p' is often used to denote the statistical significance of an experimental result or an observation: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_significance.
It is common, in science, to regard a result which is calculated to have a significance of p = 0.05, or p less than or equal to 0.05, as being significant.
"p = 0.05" means that the deviation of the observation from what would be expected if there was no actual phenomenon to be observed is so great that such a deviation would only be observed, on average, in one of 20 such observations or experiments, due to the inherent noise AKA randomness in the observed data.
So an experimental or observational finding for which p is calculated as being 0.04 is just within the bounds of what is conventionally regarded as "significant".
Sometimes, journal articles will state that no trend or potentially interesting result was observed at all if the p value is greater than 0.05. This is a mistake, since the 0.05 is an arbitrary threshold, and observations with less statistical significance should still be reported. This is especially so if two relatively unrelated (in terms of observational errors, sampling errors) observations are somewhat significant, but not so much as to be p <= 0.05, but are related in a meaningful way so that the combination of the two observations is of particular interest regarding efforts to understand and explain the underlying processes or the outcomes of some kind of medical or nutritional intervention trial. For example
, two relatively distinct health benefits arising from the one intervention.
Thank you for the explanation. So basically the theory is that if we plotted all reported p values in research, we’d see some peak around 0.04 and a sharp cliff at 0.05. And that this behavior is a result of some arbitrary threshold and not some measure of true confidence in the results.
Just a little side comment with yet another anecdotal – and hopefully sort of funny – story.
There is a starking gap between the northern-native and the southern-native populations of Italy. One might say it's "just cultural", and I'm not aware of any studies looking at an actual IQ gap, but I find it hard to believe such "just cultural" differences aren't downstream from IQ, amongst other things of course. Also, I emphasize "native" because there has been such an influx of people from the South to the North in the past decades we got all bungled up together. But our differences show in ways that sometimes make living in close proximity pretty annoying.
I live near Milan. About a year ago a guy from – you guessed it – Naples moved into my condo and started making an incredible amount of noise. He blasted music from morning to evening; his whole family moved in for weeks during festivities and went on talking in the living room up to 2 am like it was mid-day; he played soccer with his nephew in the apartment, at night; he smoked weed on the balcony and the stench would enter other apartments, including mine. The neighbors started issuing complaints, I tried talking to him, but he... well, he's not ill intentioned in any way. He just doesn't have the faculties to understand. The only thing that finally put him at bay after some months was actual threats of being kicked out. Now he complies a little better, but he still doesn't understand.
I don't even know if that meets the definition of antisocial behavior or not. Wouldn't being antisocial imply some kind of intention, or conscious disregard for the well being of others? I haven't registered anything like that from him. Again, just complete lack of the ability to understand, or do any kind of impulse control – he also gained 30 pounds or so in a year, since he moved alone. It almost seems "the banality of evil" in reverse. Like "the evilness of banality", or something.
He recently got a girlfriend from South America. I have the impression we're about to repeat the whole cycle.
Just wondering: if the average national IQ of Italy and Greece are that low relative to Western Europe, how do we account for the great civilizations built by these two nations many centuries ago? Does average population IQ decline? Or certain other people just catch up in their IQ development?
Dysgenics. The low IQ people outbreed the high IQ people over time and lower the average.
Have you visited Russia? I suspect it would give you IQ~92 vibes
I visited Saint Petersburg half a decade ago. It was OK certainly not as bad as Naples, but it was very low trust outside of the international tourist areas.
