Crime causes poverty. Not the other way around.

For example, crime rates in Appalachia are generally lower than the national average despite incredibly high poverty rates.

However, studies show that the average IQ of adult criminals is about 85, which is one standard deviation below the general population mean of 100. On the whole, low IQ leads to criminality, which causes poverty.

Most research shows that individuals with lower IQs are more likely to commit crimes than those with higher IQs, with a well-established negative correlation between IQ and criminality. This means that no amount of money you throw at impoverished people will solve the problem. You can't pay for higher IQ

Once we, as a society, can finally find it acceptable to discuss trends in IQ as it relates to criminality, poverty, academic achievement and much more, we can actually start working to solve the associated problems.

This leads to more appropriate questions, such as, "why are IQ levels dropping? Why are they lower in certain communities? How can we improve or at least quit making it worse?"

Les règles du jeu sont simples - Choisissez une photo (de préférence la vôtre), éditez avec Gimp et taguez #sundaygimp, un dimanche; puis suivez le tag #sundaygimp (et aussi #dimanche-photo-edition)
Remarque: si vous n’utilisez pas Gimp, mais que vous voulez quand même jouer, utilisez simplement le tag #Sunday-photo-edit et modifiez les images avec votre éditeur d’image préféré.

The rules of the game are simple - choose a photo (preferably your own), edit with Gimp and tag #sundaygimp on a Sunday 😉 … and follow the tag #sundaygimp (and also #Sunday-photo-edit)
Note: if you do not use Gimp, but still want to play along, just use the tag #Sunday-photo-edit and edit the images with your favorite image editor

They youth are deceived. All we have now is a fascism - corporatism - cronyism. We don't have capitalism - capitalism is voluntary exchange under a sound money system and absolutely not top-down controlled. But even mom and pop saving money to open a shop, do so under a huge top-down regulatory machine and in a devastatingly inflationary system that oppresses their ability to function and grow ... it's not a wonder that the trumpeted "capitalism" looks like a pile of shit - it's because it's all a lie.

Our First Victory Against This Trump Administration

earthjustice.org/brief/2025/we…

The Trump administration agreed to restore climate-related information to government websites, many of which farmers rely on to adapt to increasingly extreme weather.

I can't wait for five years from now when there's a massive security incident and the retro boils down to "oh yeah remember that period where our industry thought 'just not caring if your code was correct' was the next big thing?" and we all just sit in embarrassed silence as we try not to think about what that means for our current security and reliability postures.

Trump is not delivering greatness to America: he's delivering chaos and decline, and people are beginning to notice.

Ich finde Pfingstrosen ja auch schön. Aber die geschlossenen Pfingstrosen (ohne oder mit nur schwer erreichbaren meist gelben Geschlechtsorganen) haben keinerlei Nutzen für Insekten, sondern schaden ihnen eher. Die Signalwirkung haben sie wegen der Farbe immer noch, nur leider gibt es nichts zu Essen.

Pflanzt doch bitte die Wildformen. Die Insekten werden sich freuen. Das gilt auch für Rosen und ähnliches.🌼🌺🐞🪲🐝

in reply to stephie

»The hooligan fans of the Beitar Jerusalem soccer team don't need a reason to beat up an Arab bus driver who provides them with service, but this time they had one: Zahi Ahmed, an Arab player, had the audacity to score a goal against Beitar, helping his team, Hapoel Be'er Sheva, win the Israel State Cup in the final.
To Beitar's hooligans, a goal by an Arab player, especially in the cup final, is almost October 7. It cannot be ignored. Like after October 7, an immediate response is necessary.«
