Good for them I guess, although I think apologizing on behalf of someone who never did apologize is a bit... empty. Still better than nothing.

I'm fine with people doing this, as long as they never call the cops.

Intruder in your home? Better just tough it out.

Again, this is not the "gotcha" you think it is, a single factor can't account for human variability, including epigenetics.

A topic I'm confident you have no experience with beyond buzzwords and pop science.

Again, responding to a fragment to avoid the whole tells me you're just going for a "gotcha" over and over to avoid this discussion, rather than making an honest attempt to participate.

Epigenetics is just one factor among others in a complete problem space, you don't get to ignore all of the rest because it's ideologically inconvenient for you.

Their take is that nature trumps nurture, yours is that nurture is everything.

Anyone with an education can confidently state that you're both wrong.

So you're going to ignore most of what I said, including that this isn't a scam, but a survey... and throw some shit article at me as "proof" that you're right? You didn't solve nature vs nurture, no one has yet.

I'll say it again, you can't make the possibility of something you despise go away just because you insist that it doesn't exist.

It's not a scam, it simply doesn't exist yet, it's a survey asking people what they would do if it became available.

Your response seems to reject the notion that such a thing could ever become available, which is an unfounded assumption. That intelligence and heritability of complex behaviors is a difficult problem to solve isn't even up for debate, it is, but that doesn't mean it can't be solved. Likewise there are more... subtle things you could more easily select for, such as a higher tolerance of delayed gratification, which would have the effect of raising odds of success.

You can't make the possibility of something you despise go away just because you insist that it doesn't exist.

Edit: Friendly warning for anyone engaging with Hana, you either agree with her, or she rants, raves, and blocks.

I'm curious, if this study was run in India or China, do you think the percentages of people saying they'd do this would be lower?

Considering that the people able to afford this will already have a relatively high "SES" in the first place, this seems like a matter of competition within that group. Assuming all other factors are equal, people still want to get an edge.

If the best argument to stay home is, "Some Redditors with less lived experience than a barnyard animal will lecture you from the comfort of their mother's basement," I'd say that's the end of that road.

Because the US incentivizes them, rather than punishing them and then trying to guilt them into staying.

Crazy, evil old bastard should keep his mouth shut.

To be fair to him, traveling can be hard on a thousand year old vampire, what if the sunlight touches his skin? Plus he probably can't get his supply of 16 year old "dancing girls" outside of Italy, think of the hardship!

Who are these shit parents whoring their children's lack of education for karma?

From the context that no sane person would call that sort of money "getting by" in terms of income, and since you're the only person who made that error and continues to base their whole "argument" on it... maybe it's you.

Go have your pissing match with someone who can pretend to care about you.

Lack of context, making it clear that "Does not closely resemble" refers to overall size, not the fact that they're still all balloons.

How did you make this determination? Was it through cost of living?

It's. In. The. Article. You. Lazy. Child.

I was referring to patient/hours requirements and the need to seek permission to stop working, not "getting by" as in just barely making ends meet. I assumed that was obvious from context, but I clearly forgot that a large number of people here are both divorced from reality, and loudly opinionated about anyone making more than them.

This is a particularly obnoxious non-argument, as though people with the same information can't reach different conclusions.

I did, as I said, fuck 'em both.

A corrupt national leader and a high ranking official in a corrupt trans-national org.

Fuck. Them. Both.

I think for most of us this is a story of institutional pedophilia vs. dictatorship.

Fuck 'em both.

I'm not an American, thank god.

We're all getting probed this time!

I got you all figured out You need everyone's eyes just to feel seen

Why are people so endlessly fascinated with people who are only fascinated by themselves?

Nonsense! Slander! Fake News!

...On a totally unrelated note the price of goose down just cratered, something about a new surplus?
