The most complete and least biased (but not wholly unbiased) article ever published online about race and intelligence just appeared — an answer to the ideologically-motivated and scandalously biased article in Wikipedia. https://grokipedia.com/page/Ra... It's not perfect. It leaves out
@avidseries Definitely not perfect, and I'm sure replacing one bias with another is not an improvement. Apparently, Grokipedia does not have human editors (see link below). So, the best way for me to influence it is to publish research in sources it cites. (It already cites me.)
@Russwarne "Apparently, Grokipedia does not have human editors." I can see how that might be good, but also bad.
@avidseries Laughable selection of references for this article. 8/10 bias rating, with 10 being outright propaganda. Ideological bukkake in service of a gamable disability screening really
@avidseries This is pretty huge. I'm also glad they just added the ability to submit corrections.
@avidseries i'd really like it if that thread could be published on a substack or some kind of web page. it's great but it would be really useful to have a single document that i could refer to. & i'm always afraid that one day twitter will truly die & i'll lose all the references in it.
@avidseries It’s Frank and faces the data head-on. Which, on this subject, is remarkably refreshing. This would be a good starting point for a good-faith debate. It won’t be, of course - I expect a rather shrill, vacuous response instead.
@avidseries Appreciate this man
@avidseries @TheRabbitHole84 Was a good read.
@avidseries @TheRabbitHole84 That’s awesome. I’m glad there is finally a place where we can have an honest discussion about the topic.
@avidseries This takes us all a huge step forward towards a future where honesty trumps “kindness” and dispassionate analysis trumps emotional shrieking. Elon 👊!
@avidseries data is unstoppable. it can only be suppressed. but the effects of that data will leak out and corrupt any system unaligned with it. leading to either increasing inefficiencies or complete rupture. data will eat the world. grokipedia is a good day. and we are getting better at it
@avidseries Nurture over nature isn't compatible with what we see at the tails of the distributions (i.e. the severe underrepresentation or in some cases non-existence of certain groups beyond a threshold at the tail). Maybe I'm over-simplifying, but this seems like a lynchpin to the debate
@avidseries This is on a tangent, but re wikipedia, you ought to see the article on Imane khelif. Anyone who reads that is going to come away dumber than they were going in.
@avidseries Hispanic Americans are not a "race," nor are Ashkenazi Jews.
@avidseries The sourcing is so bad tho? Like it’s citing random papers that aren’t helpful or good
@avidseries I'm old enough to remember that wikipedia article being much better before the activists got a hold of the controls.
@avidseries The references are void. It just sends you to an empty link.
@avidseries I'm just glad to see the Wikipedia stranglehold on "proving things on the internet" broken.
@avidseries @Steve_Sailer Grokipedia is the right wingers alternate facts version of Wikipedia. America’s racists who never went away, but got de-centered just for a bit are back front & center. America has always been a racist country with ebbs & flows in the public prominence of the racism. They BACK!
@avidseries This is extraordinary
@avidseries Interesting.
@avidseries Just ask grok to make changes and explain why you think they’re justified and it will decide
@avidseries Nobody denies B/W IQ gap it is rather environmental. I did my own research since I was born and raised in south east Morocco a 50% mixture of white Mediterraneans and black subsaharans. I do not see any difference and no body sees it nation wide between Moroccan blacks and
@avidseries You have shifted in your views how?
