I have it on good authority that this is a nothingburger that happens all the time, and no public money will be involved, or perhaps only a little as a bridge loan. This is nothing, everyone is panicking for no reason.

Nobody will ever suffer consequences Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day, To the last syllable of recorded time; And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, That struts and frets his hour upon the stage, And then is heard no more. It is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Barrel Cactaur posted:Interesting way to write Chinese economy dies as it no longer trades finished goods for raw materials, food, and medicine. Please recall Russia is currently being fought off with essentially spares. Russian stability has been based on a carefully structured prison house of nations being run by the biggest gang. China has based it on economic prosperity. Crashing Russias raw materials export market was never going to stop them, because someone will always take the deal. But China is much more vulnerable. Military needs just can't take up the slack, or provide the food in short order. Their poor agricultural disease control makes this extra fragile. lmao the US would take 5 years to replace a single ship. The US is incapable of switching to the command economy necessary to fight a real war against anyone even remotely capable of fighting back Also the US would basically break down within a few months without the constant supply of goods from China. E: Also the Chinese arent belligerent blood thirsty monsters like the US. China isnt going to launch a war, but the US is easily the most evil nation on earth and might do it out of spite if things keep getting worse at home Nix Panicus has issued a correction as of 20:48 on Mar 22, 2023 |

sullat posted:Post the biscuit recipe, coward Its not a very complicated recipe. 3 c all purpose flour 1 tsp salt 1 tbs baking powder 1 tbs sugar 6 tbs butter, diced up real small, cold Between 1c and 1.25 c of buttermilk, cold 1/4 c of milk for brushing the biscuits so they brown in the oven Bake at 425 degrees for 15-20 minutes Makes about a dozen biscuits Whisk together the dry ingredients, dump the butter into the dry ingredients and work it in by hand until it looks crumbly. Just kinda squish the butter and then roll it into the flour, but don't work it so long that the butter melts from the heat of your hands. This is the part you get better at with experience. Add a cup of buttermilk and half rear end mix with a fork or something until it starts coming together. Don't do a good job mixing, don't knead it, try to work the dough as little as you can. Use the other quarter cup of buttermilk if the dough won't come together, or there's a bunch of loose flour still left in the bowl. Dump your dough out on a floured surface or a silicone baking sheet and roughly shape it into a sheet about a half inch thick. Use a rolling pin if you have one. Ideally you should see pale little dots of butter in the dough as you roll it flat. Fold that sheet over itself in thirds like a letter, roll it back to 1/2 inch thick. Repeat two more times. Use a biscuit cutter to cut your dough for round biscuits or just a sharp knife for square biscuits. The important thing is that you cut the dough, which makes it easier for the biscuit to expand and look nice. Use something so your biscuits won't stick to a baking sheet - flour, corn meal, parchment, whatever - and give your biscuits an inch or so of clearance on all sides. Brush the tops with milk before putting the biscuits in if you feel weird about eating pale biscuits. Nix Panicus has issued a correction as of 19:37 on Mar 24, 2023 |

The impact of epigenetics on intelligence is far more impactful than hereditary genetics. Things like exposure to stress, diet, a dependable caregiver, and nurturing matter way more to brain development than your lineage. Those factors start stacking up before birth and continue to compound over early childhood. Its depressing how much of a kid's future you can predict by their performance in third grade, but thats not genetics, thats nine years of environmental factors. We need to invest a poo poo ton more money into early childhood support, both for kids and parents. If you're in a stressful uncertain environment with a young kid, don't despair too much though, its possible to shield your kid from a lot of the damage simply by being there for them. Where poo poo gets extremely sad is parents who give up because they don't know what to do and feel they can't help because they've been told parenting is too complicated for them

Zodium posted:behavior is ecological, not individual. if you frame intelligence around an idea that we can boil it down to individual difference factors like genetics or iq or whatever in the first place, you've lost before you even got started and/or are in the business of reifying liberal ideology. Ecologies are made up of individuals, you need a framework that addresses individuals *currently* being hosed by the system. A thing that can be done for the people *currently* being written off as garbage is to reassure them that they can be effective parents even in bad situations, and that the simple act of trying to be there for their kids does actually count for something. The way you sell that concept to metrics obsessed policy people is with fancy terms like 'epigenetics' because, unfortunately, reality is presently an unkind place.

Celexi posted:The downfall of education is complicated but a lot has also to do with the crime scares and suburbanization of the 80/90s and kids being fed to private /charter school with "gifted/genius programs", Waldorf schools, and other junk which took a lot of funding out of public schools. Gifted programs are a scam that deprives everyone else not on the right 'track' of peer role models while *also* loving up the socialization of the 'gifted' kids. Destroy all gifted programs, ban all charters Parents would, in general, like to do better but have been led to believe that they aren't fit for the task. They aren't (usually) offloading on to others because they don't want to do it, they are offloading because society has convinced them they are either incapable of doing a good job *or* that time spent with their kids is time they should be spending on earning money instead. Don't blame parents for growing up in hell world and not being properly equipped to be parents.

Zodium posted:waves are made of individual water molecules, but that doesn't mean you're going to understand their behavior by studying their individual differences. you can sell people on epigenetics and iq and evolutionary psychology all you want, but you're selling them on ideology, not scientific understanding. the reality is simply we don't understand behavior very well, not even really how to measure it, and no matter how burning the desire or great the need for an answer, it's only going to materialize through us painstakingly building up an understanding of the variables in play. This is dumb. The basis of materialism is that people are affected by their material circumstances. Thats literally all 'epigenetics' means: people are affected by material circumstances down to a cellular level. Environmental factors express themselves in your biology. Where do the environmental factors come from? What our society chooses to do. If you'd like to change epigenetic expressions of material circumstances, change the material circumstances. Its not complicated, theres no need to invoke mysticism

Zodium posted:epigenetics is a non genetic change in how genes express themselves. this can be a lot of things, but it always happens at a specific scale: the cellular scale, as opposed to the individual scale or the ecological scale. it's orthogonal to behavior. it doesn't mean that behavior is epigenetic or has an epigenetic basis. behavior is ecological in the sense that it's acting on relations between animal and environment (e.g., if you want to cross the road in traffic, you'll want to keep your perception of an oncoming car's growth in size relative to your visual field small enough to make it across in time) and if we want to understand behavior, we need to study these relations, not individual differences like genes or gene expressions. there's nothing mystical about that. We all know that health and stress have no effect on how individuals behave, and that individual behavior has no effect on greater societal trends.

Maed posted:he doesn't know what epigenetics is, it's things that happen to DNA like methylation that can change gene expression, for some reason people started using it to try to refer to everything outside genetics for some odd reason, I blame libs What do people think epigenetics is? I'm using it to refer to the idea that exposure to stress creates chemicals that negatively affect development via gene expression, and that the net effect of swimming around in stress chemicals is more significant than any inheritable genetic factors, likely to the point where inheritable intelligence isn't even worth seriously talking about by comparison. And people should be happy about that, because the solution is to just give people material aid and comfort and reduce the amount of poo poo they have to juggle, no eugenics required. Its biological affirmation that when you improve someone's material circumstances you improve their functioning as a person. People not raised in a toxic cesspit tend to get sick less often as adults, kids who aren't worried about their next meal tend to be brighter. The policy world still thinks this stuff is magic, but thats because theyre morons. Whats this thread's excuse?
