Date: January 29th, 2026 12:12 PM Author: Yummy Phase Pol Pot Craziest part about a decision like this is that it is made entirely because we don't have an exact proportionate distribution of races and ethnicities across these programs (and other upper strata segments of society.)
So libs would rather punish smart kids from all backgrounds, including the races and ethnicities they purport to help, because seeing too many white and asian kids in gifted programs relative to brown and black kids makes them mad at reality.
I am starting to think that the actual solution to this is to just forego school altogether. Like what is the actual point. If you have a smart kid but don't have the funds to go private, your kid will now be saddled with 85 IQ troublemakers in their classes that disrupt everything and force every kid to move at a slower pace.
But again, what is even the point. Oh wow my kid goes to school so he can graduate one day and go to a good college and then get a good job to send his kid to school so he can graduate and go to a good college...and on and on and on. All to effectively secure a spot in the professional world where you look at screens all day. |

Date: January 29th, 2026 1:44 PM Author: Yummy Phase Pol Pot Unless you are 50+, you can always make some changes (even incrementally.)
I encourage as many people as possible to work independently at least for some portion of their life. Assuming they can handle the responsibility that comes with it. The world would change dramatically IMO if a larger share of the population worked for themselves, if only because it would help more people understand the unbelievable tax burden we all face.
Note I do not mean as Uber drivers or whatever BS serf work. Nor do I just mean "go do shitlaw," there are a lot of roles that can be done independently.
If that isn't possible, I recommend people try to get into roles where they really "feel" the impact of their work (through meaningfully variable comp, as one example) Not just "oops I missed a comma so I need to stay late to fix it."
Increasingly I think "the professions" (law, consulting, finance, medicine) will become much worse within institutions, but much more amenable to people who can work effectively on their own. The more that technology eats at these jobs, the more performative they will become (inside institutions.) |

i don't think this is the end of the world. a lot of countries focus on play rather than academic learning until age 7 or so. i do think you can bore extremely gifted (top 0.01%) kids this way but perhaps they can skip K or 1st grade if they need to. |

They actually locate a lot of the gifted programs in shitty neighborhood schools so the “good schools” aren’t overcrowded. Obviously the gifted kids and local kids don’t interact but the schools are at least “diverse on paper.” This will empty out the shitty schools which means the next step is to abolish “good” neighborhood schools and have kids sent all over the place. |

This is the "sweet spot" for initial reliable testing. By age 7, correlations with adult IQ jump significantly ($r = 0.70$ or higher).
The "Stability" vs. "Change" Paradox It is important to distinguish between absolute and relative scores:
Relative IQ: This is your rank compared to peers. If you are in the 90th percentile at age 11, you will very likely be in the 90th percentile at age 80. This is what we mean when we say IQ is "stable." |
