Good in what sense? Consider that people do better on an IQ test if you offer to pay them more based on their performance. One might conclude that Gen Z values the IQ test than prior generations, or it could be reflective of the environment having more food swamps.

For real. It's a fine example of reading while being illiterate.
Both things can be true: that IQ is not a good index to use in this context and that other measurements have shown cognitive decline.
No that doesn't make IQ a good measurement of intelligence. Volumes have been written on this and how it is more a measurement of one's heritable environment. Source: I am a millennial with an above average IQ.
Wouldn't that reduce the dragon fly population as well (who eats mosquito larva)?
Whenever I visit SF for work once a quarter it feels like there is a cult running the city. So many cringe ads telling you that meta glasses will let you be more in the moment and some XY product will make AI work for you without really telling you anything about the product. Yet they can't even keep their elevators at the transit stops working cuz fuck the poor and disabled. Point is, SF has a weird sense of priorities and I don't really trust the common wisdom coming from that place. I love Oakland though, some of the best food to be found there
The last part reminds me of Mussolini
China made trade groups with their regional rivals, so no, we do not see a similar response. China's response is rooted in win-win diplomacy that improves the material conditions of all parties involved. It is less a moral calculation and more a material one that creates a moral authority.
Yes and that is a winning strategy. As another ml account highlighted, war with the global north did not end well for the USSR, which comparatively speaking was much more a peer in terms of power than the current Russia. China's strategy is the one that recognizes that the tactics available flow down stream from material conditions.
Isn't Brazil part of BRICS? Their strategy isn't just to avoid war, they are building soft power at a time when the USA is burning goodwill for short term gain (though with Iran the only gains seem to be oil profits).
Or their apathy towards IQ tests.
