What is intelligence really, and why are IQ tests a TERRIBLE way to measure it? This week, Rutgers Professor of Sociology Rina Bliss Joins Adam to discuss what intelligence truly is, and how our brains change throughout our lives.

Most of us grow up with the ingrained notion that life for every successive generation is better than the last. That truism no longer seems to be the case. Why is everything seeming to go downhill? And why is work specifically getting so much worse?
The real risk of A.I. isn’t that some super-intelligent computer is going to take over in the future – it’s that the humans in the tech industry are going to screw the rest of us over right now.
At its core, apologetics is an exercise in excuse making. Its whole purpose is to rationalize a set of beliefs that Christians are already invested in. Methodology doesn’t matter. The goal is not open exploration. All that matters is fending off doubts, and this must be done at all costs. Thus apologists develop an instinct to be automatically evasive on any topic that sounds like it will challenge their established faith. In this video, the Prophet of Zod examines an interesting case study in this phenomenon, which is Mike Winger’s response to a series of objections to belief in God.
Good thing he was wearing that hazmat suit. The night in the desert was cold. But the sun’s rays had just risen and the researcher knew exactly that the cold was now being replaced by the relentless heat of the day. The Sahara was just not a destination for occasional tourists. Even if many tourists went to the Sahara. The researcher activated his visor scanner and surveyed the cave in the rock. Perhaps now, at this early hour, he would find something. But probably not. The trail he was following was probably already cold.
How could that have happened? The researcher never thought that someone who was so committed to the law would suddenly go astray because of small things. Just because of this artifact that supposedly promised a new life? That statement alone, a new life… what should one imagine by that? How could a layman come across such a papyrus, which would have been an archaeological sensation, if it could have been examined by scientists. But no, the person really wanted to find what the papyrus promised.
New life. Whatever had happened, the researcher would no longer be able to understand it. He had followed the trail, but he hadn’t found everything. The alleged blue pyramid, for example, which should be hidden somewhere in the sands of Egypt. The Hidden City of Nut-Ankh-Aris. All these were names that probably had no real meaning.
But at least he had found the cave under the mountain. Someone must have been here too. But what then? Tracks led to the cave, none back. But there was nobody in the cave either. Did the person find the artifact? And if so, what happened then? Nobody would be able to say that anymore. What could it possibly be, this “new life”?
Luckily the researcher didn’t turn around. Otherwise he would have found his question answered and probably lost his mind at the sight.
Do we have to bring this up again? Oh yeah! Because it just doesn’t get better, on the contrary, it gets worse. The author of the Harry Potter novels, JK Rowling (but you may have already known this) has once again said things that cannot go unchallenged in a podcast entitled “The Witch Trials of JK Rowling”. And here is Caelen Conrad doing just that. That’s why the episode is called: “The Alleged Witch Trials of JK Rowling”.
It took Rick Worley quite some time to continue his essays about Star Wars. It was worth the wait, because he shows us where the infamous (and idiotic) quote “George Lucas r*ped my childhood” originated. He says about his video about the different versions of the Star Wars movies: “Hopefully it’s worth the wait for the people who have been asking for this. I think it’s the most comprehensive video that’s been made about the changes to the different versions of the Star Wars movies, and also a discussion about how and why the changes exist and why some of them are controversial, and a discussion about film preservation in general and why art changes over time. It’s divided into three parts so you can watch it episodically if you want, but I didn’t want to post it as three separate videos because it’s all interrelated.”

It’s more than twenty years of stray observations about the films and especially the prequels which should be interesting to people, and a rebuttal to Red Letter Media and all those other terrible YouTube reviews, hopefully combined into an interesting essay. And this is what Rick Worley has done.
He says: “Being me, it talks a lot about Bob Dylan and Kubrick and all those other guys I’m always on about, and I could have cut it down or cut it up into separate videos, but in the end I didn’t want to. It all ties together, and I think it’s interesting.
For all the people over the years who ask why I like the Star Wars prequels so much and I’ve said it’s a complicated subject that takes a long time to get into, well, it looks like 2 hours and 20 minutes is about how long it takes to get into, and here’s your answer!”
Tucker Carlson, Michael Knowles, and other right-wingers’ recent rhetoric about people with mental illnesses and trans people sure has a familiar ring to it.
On February 3rd, 2023, a Norfolk Southern train carrying tens of thousands of gallons of toxic vinyl chloride derailed in the small town of East Palestine, Ohio. This event, while not unique in the least, is a striking example of how corporate negligence causes environmental humanitarian disasters. In the weeks since the crash, several other trains have derailed, including at least one more of Norfolk Southern’s. Why is this such a common problem? What has led to the US having over 1,000 derailments per year, and why isn’t anything being done about it? The team of Second Thought flew out to East Palestine to speak to residents and take a look at the issue.
