>The Internet was a government (DARPA) project, so it can be attributed to the success of socialism, and not capitalism.
The reason internet had a success is cooperation of dozens of thousands of private companies. It would never grow this much without all of them interacting with each other without state interfere. The idea or protocol might be attributed to socialism, but the internet as we know it is a product of capitalism.

Have you ever seen any of these gifted kids contributed anything to science, got Noble or something?

I kinda regret that no media ever called me some genius robo kid or something when I was 15 and was modding my Mindstorms to have low level access to bluetooth and other hardware to control it using programs I wrote for my phone. Maybe I would skip education straight to university and get some more toys.

>then you used a made up definition, which makes the argument pointless
That's the point. I don't give a fuck about how to "properly" define intelligence, I'm not a psychologist.
>nice confirmation bias, you can't just cherry pick the parts which support your claims and completely ignore the rest. IQ tests do not measure all cognitive abilities and are therefor not capable of measuring general intelligence. have you every heard of the savant syndrome? savants are basically retarded, yet they possess skills you can only dream of.
What? I don't want to prove that IQ measures general intelligence, nor I was ever talking about. You were the first one to bring that term up and you and you properly refuted it, congratulations! But I wasn't talking about that at all.
All I was saying is that people misunderstand IQ as some kind of prophecy to determine rest of their life. It's just a tool for psychological diagnosis, it only states how well you do in pattern recognition and abstract thinking and correlates to how well you do in STEM in general, that's all. It has nothing to do with your job opportunities, social skills, knowledge and skills.
Still it only works in statistics. People are weird, they can have some genius skills and suck at other things, there isn't any way to reduce such a complex thing to mere numeric scale. Of course there are people who are IQ 70 and are called intelligent, but in general, IQ70- will be called unintelligent.
I can't watch videos on mobile, sorry.

Why does ice-cream taste better if your tongue is still hotter than the ice-cream itself?
