    Sure, it is an extreme. As in my edit I stated: this is due to sanitation. It is all over the board throughout the 15th-18th century world because pandemics/diseases/epidemics came and went and sanitation was so low and medicine was so bad that people dropped like flies, and thus did the life expentency average.

    In particular, my “25 year l.e.” example was about 18th century France.

    Right, like uhh you know the average life span for a healthy male used to be 25 years right? Did you think that was for no reason? Smfh.

    Did you think 90 years passed and suddenly the life span tripled?

    The idiocy

    Edit: to make sure some of the responses aren’t misunderstanding my point - medicine.

    Scientific advances. Technology, research, people knowing how to literally wash their fucking hands added years to the lifespan.

    And yes it has tripled in some cases. 18th century France the life expectancy was twenty four years old.

    This increase to what we see today is LARGELY due to medical care and sanitation alone.

    It’s all over the board back then, in fact, because of sanitation. Diseases would.come and go and life expentencies would sink like a tanker because sanitation was non existent.

    So yes I exaggerated the time span, obviously, but I wasn’t kidding about the tripling part - if a bit vaguely.







  • Aside from creativity (which elon also excels at) and social intelligence (which he does not - or does he) it is a good predictor of intelligence. I mean psychologist or not, you can argue it til you’re blue in the face but tests measure aptitude, there’s a reason the entire world uses them. Saying someone is “good at tests but not good at the thing” is just a lazy argument.

    Temperature measures heat, which is one of many indicators of how it’ll feel outside. IQ tests measure “reasoning/problem solving, memory, pattern recognition, and information processing speed.” As a psychologist you know that already! Those are a few of the many indicators of a persons intelligence! See how that works?

    Carry on!

    Is it perfect? Obviously not! But to say it’s inaccurate is just wrong.
