What I learned in 2018:
Learned from @Safaitic that written language often had nothing to do with spoken languages. The former later makes its way via the minority rule.
It is conceivable that Jesus spoke a Galilean dialect not Aramaic, but used Aramaic for harangues.

@Mangan150 that seed oil (Not#Lindy) is actually only tested in theory, & maybe be v. inflammatory. (Went nuts yesterday on Air France when I saw the smallprint for the "olive oil/balsamic" small bottle: 38% olive/37% sunflower.)31 replies 58 retweets 475 likesShow this thread -
3- WHT I LEARNED IN 2018 Learned that psychologist involved in "IQ" fail to understand very basic notions they are using. Such as correlations. Not talking about higher dimensions "g", nonlinear correlations, etc. Not talking abt quacks like Molyneux, but academic psychs.pic.twitter.com/aVQoCvh33H

3- WHT I LEARNED IN 2018 (cont) Also learned that "PhD" researchers who BS w/buzzwords don't understand basic inference; the notion of variance. Worse, race idiots think that if a country has "IQ"=82 (assuming "IQ" is real), that ALL will have IQ=82.https://twitter.com/nntaleb/status/1082713050837336065 …

3- WHT I LEARNED IN 2018 (cont, 2 ) Also learned that "PhD" researchers who BS about "IQ" (and RACE) don't get that if IQ correlates to performance at 50% (the beeeeeesssst of cases), that it can only explain less than 16.7% of said performance. Idiots.
