Don't be so dramatic. It might be a joke on slaves of knowledge rather than on humanity.
The consumers of knowledge are supposed to consume knowledge without thinking.
That is why, perhaps, they are Neo-Luddites and AI haters.

NOTE: Knowledge is inconsumable, if it requires thinking. This sort of knowledge is likely to be misunderstood. "A wiki is useless" in this sense.

Re: "average IQ"

It depends on how you measure "average".

For example, the average personal income is often given as the median – the number below which are 50% of personal incomes and above which are 50% of personal incomes – because the mean would be higher by including personal incomes from a few billionaires.

@igorzwx are you are volunteering to show me the math where 'average' > 50% ?

golinux · Yesterday 13:46:26

igorzwx . . . @Drama has no place in my thinking. I am merely an observer and will not shed a tear for our self-inflicted extinction.

igorzwx · Yesterday 14:24:56

Don't panic! The so-called "self-inflicted extinction" is just another hoax, a false warning about something very dangerous, an ancient method to fool and enslave naive people. This method was invented in the Stone Age, and, nevertheless, humanity persists to multiply.

@g4sra

It is not about math, it is about the method of thinking. Would you believe that at least half of pulseaudio users is above the average level of deafness?

No ? Then why does the question have the word 'math' in it ?

@golinux since this thread is getting a lot of nonsense, I am guessing its okay if I make a nonsensical thread devoted to weird stuff like aliens crashing on planet earth and sucking our blood out of our body. Am I right?

golinux · Yesterday 15:42:56

And zapper continues the theater of the absurd . . .

zapper · Yesterday 15:48:20

@golinux yeah, I did. I thought it was funny lol. I wondered how quick you would lock it LOL.

I should do this more often am I right?

@g4sra

There is math, and there are many methods to misuse it. It depends on the method of thinking.

It depends more on the bias of the "thinker" as all sentient beings are deluded/

igorzwx · Yesterday 16:30:18

It is not so difficult to misuse math without any "bias". Usually, it is a sort of calculated deception. Take, for example, applied statistics

Indeed . . . Another version of "how many angels can dance on the head of a pin" and we never seem to lean . . .

igorzwx · Yesterday 16:49:37

Your "angels" seem as hypothetical as "self-inflicted extinction" in your apocalyptic speeches.

@g4sra

Are you paranoid about AI?

g4sra · Yesterday 17:19:45

@igorzwx its obvious you are a chatbot, and because you are a chatbot there is nothing you can say that will prove that you are not.

golinux · Yesterday 17:29:41

Time for a welcome break while we digest that.
