3·6 months agoi think IQ tests were originally developed to see which school students never to go to the next class, or stay behind, it was meant to see if a student tests as his peers or as his next/previous class peers. the inventor never intended it to be used as a way to measure an intrinsic immutable trait on adults.

1·6 months agoI want to believe, that the eligible people who join are mostly doing it because there’s no way anyone would join, so they just want to know what tf is going on, then discover that everyone there had the same reason, then they go for a pint to talk how stupid and comical it is.

10·6 months agoyhea, because making a society liveable and comfortable for everyone would also include “them”, you don’t want them to be ok.

3·6 months agoit exist, but it’s like really small.
I’m theory, 2% of the world population is eligible (not that exclusive) yet they only have 50,000 members in the US, ie, 1.4 in every 10,000 people.

1·6 months agoi think even without capitalism, social media works better on scale (even federated social media, does so but decentralised). you will join the bigger systems, and those systems are more likely to grow if they are bigger…
they will be much less toxic without capitalism though
