 # Artificial Intelligence
 
-Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of [computer science](compsci.md) whose effort lies in making [computers](computer.md) simulate thinking of humans and possibly other biologically [living beings](life.md). This may include making computers play [games](game.md) such as [chess](chess.md), compose [music](music.md), paint pictures, understand and processing audio, images and [text](text.md) on high level of [abstraction](abstraction.md) and understanding (e.g. translation between [natural languages](human_language.md)), making predictions about complex systems such as stock market or weather or even exhibit a general human-like behavior such as simulated emotion. Even though today's focus in AI is on [machine learning](machine_learning.md) and especially [neural networks](neural_network.md), there are many other usable approaches and models such as "hand crafted" state tree searching algorithms that can simulate and even outperform the behavior of humans in certain specialized areas.

 There's a concern that's still a matter of discussion about the dangers of developing a powerful AI, as that could possibly lead to a [technological singularity](tech_singularity.md) in which a super intelligent AI might take control over the whole world without humans being able to seize the control back. Even though it's still likely a far future and many people say the danger is not real, the question seems to be about *when* rather than *if*.
 
 By about 2020, "AI" has become a [capitalist](capitalism.md) [buzzword](buzzword.md). They try to put machine learning into everything just for that AI label -- and of course, for a [bloat monopoly](bloat_monopoly.md).
 
-By 2023 neural network AI has become extremely advanced in processing visual, textual and audio information and is rapidly marching on. Networks such as [stable diffusion](stable_diffusion.md) are now able to generate images (or modify existing ones) with results mostly indistinguishable from real photos just from a short plain language textual description. Text to video AI is emerging and already giving nice results. AI is able to write computer programs from plain language text description. Chatbots, especially the proprietary [chatGPT](chatgpt.md), are scarily human-like and can already carry on conversation mostly indistinguishable from real human conversation while showing extraordinary knowledge and intelligence -- the chatbot can for example correctly reason about advanced mathematical concepts on a level much higher above average human. AI has become [mainstream](mainstream.md) and is everywhere, normies are downloading "AI apps" on their phones that do funny stuff with their images while spying on them. In games such as [chess](chess.md) or even strategy video [games](game.md) neural AI has already been for years far surpassing the best of humans by miles.

+
+For normies let's briefly tackle some of the most pressing questions such as: **What is this "modern" AI really about? Is it actually intelligent? Are AI chatbots superhuman in their reasoning?** Well, the "modern" AI is really based on mechanisms found in human brain and is relatively closely simulating them, although in very, very simplified ways (e.g. using simplified structures of neural networks and using a lot of preprocessing), with everything scaled down (in terms of neuron count) and limiting to very specific areas (e.g. only simulating part of what's found in our visual system), so we could say the machine is intelligent in the same way as us but not nearly to the same degree -- imagine the AI as someone who has something closer to a rat brain and who has never lived human life, never knew our pain or pleasure, need of sleep or eating, our kind of emotion or desires, who has for whole life focused on one extremely specialized task, such as recognizing faces in pictures or predicting weather from meteorological data (all of which really reduce to recognizing patterns in numerical sequences), over and over without taking any break. Questions about [consciousness](consciousness.md), self awareness etc. are better left to philosophers now -- it is possible this kind of AI has consciousness and even its own tiny kinds of desires and emotions (we may imagine it really really wanting to see certain patterns of numbers for example), but it would be more similar to that of a bug or plant, its world is completely different than ours. It may seem that [LLM](llm.md)s (the "AI chatbots" such as ChatGPT) speak like humans and so it's natural to assume there is internally some human thought existing, but even here the internal mechanisms of the AI are extremely simplified compared to humans (and they inevitably have to be e.g. due to incomparably lower number of neurons): all the LLM does is PREDICTING which word will come up next in a textual human communication based on having seen millions and millions of such conversations. I.e. if the AI sees an incomplete sentence that reads "Thank you very", it will predict that the word "much" will follow, and doing this repeatedly allows it to generate long texts, but it is not doing anything else. This means that opinions, personality and "facts" the AI knows reflect what it has seen in the data set -- if you train the AI on conversations happening on [reddit](reddit.md), it will talk like a redditor, it will make the same reasoning mistakes, assume the same incorrect facts etc. Furthermore there is a lot of [cheating](cheating.md) going on, just like computer [3D graphics](3d_rendering.md) has to resort to cheating and tricks because it couldn't simulate the infinite complexity of the real world -- for example language models typically don't see actual letters of the text, they operate on word tokens, so they normally cannot solve simple problems that require looking at the letters such as typing given word backwards. So we mustn't think such AI somehow gives definitive or highly superior answers to our questions, it only predicts (and sometimes very poorly) what answer a human would give. And we can say the same about different types of neural AIs -- for instance a program synthesizing images does really the same thing, just with pixels instead of words, and so we cannot think an image of a dinosaur drawn by this AI is somehow more biologically accurate, it will only mimic how humans draw dinosaurs. One way to think of these AIs is this: imagine you tell a human to spend whole life perfecting something extremely specialized without focusing on anything else -- this is what the AI will do, the only advantage being it can learn this in hours or day instead of 70 years, and it's a machine that doesn't need rest, salary and other things, so it's now very cheap and easy to create such specialized monkeys. To sum up: we are still far away from simulating something truly close to a fully functioning human brain, but we can now cheaply create programs that very effectively do very specialized tasks which previously only humans could do, most notably [art](art.md), manipulating languages, pictures and other things relying on intuition and "feel" rather than precise equations.

 # Binary
 
-The word binary in general refers to having [two](two.md) choices or "two of a thing"; in [computer science](compsci.md) binary refers to the base 2 numeral system, i.e. a system of writing numbers with only two symbols, usually [1](one.md)s and [0](zero.md)s, which are commonly interpreted *true* vs *false*. We can write any [number](number.md) in binary just as we can with our everyday [decimal](decimal.md) system (which uses ten digits, as opposed to two), but binary is more convenient for [computers](computer.md) because this system is easy to implement in [electronics](electronics.md) (a switch can be on or off, i.e. 1 or 0; systems with more digits were tried but unsuccessful, they failed miserably in reliability -- see e.g. [ternary](ternary.md) computers). The word *binary* is also by extension used for non-textual computer [files](file.md) such as native [executable](executable.md) programs or asset files for games.

 - **everything is fake**: Everything is rotten and corrupted on the inside with an extreme effort towards putting up a misleading good looking facade. TV shows, including "news", are all staged (even those swearing not to be, no producer is going to invest money in something depending on pure luck), smiles and emotion of people you meet in workplace or see on ads, women's tits, butts and faces, men's muscles, photos on social media, food that has basically no food in it, even news and facts, everything is fake. Investigating any area (government, working conditions, technology, healthcare, education, charities, academia and "[science](soyence.md)", ...) a bit in depth practically always leads to unrevealing how corrupt it actually is despite it looking nice and ideal at the first look.
 - **loss of ownership**: Even that which is most saint to a capitalist -- property and the ability to own things -- is greatly lost under capitalism. This happens with the trend of everything becoming a service, a typical example of which is so called "[software as a service](saas.md)". While in the past one would buy a physical copy of a program that he would at least physically own forever, nowadays many programs become a subscription service, e.g. games, movies and music are no longer something you buy but just buy a one time ticket for. But this trend is everywhere, artificial obsolescence tries to limit durability of physical goods such electronic devices so that one has to keep consuming them like a service.
 - **[rape effect](rape_effect.md)**: The mechanisms of capitalism work in such ways that everyone gets progressively more raped with any further advance of capitalism.
-- **endangering existence of all [life](life.md)**: The mentioned destruction of environment, lack of long term planning, irresponsibility and instability along with creating a dangerous overdependence on technology and interconnections of self insufficient states and cities is just waiting for a disaster such as [CME](cme.md) that immediately collapses the civilization and consequently endangers all life on Earth e.g. by meltdowns in nuclear plants or possible nuclear wars as a consequence of panic.

 - *"Capitalism is freedom."* -- This is of course a complete twist of the word freedom: capitalism promotes freedom of market which goes against the freedom of people. I.e. the freedom enabled by capitalism is the freedom to abuse others; the freedom to restrict freedoms of others, which is of almost the polar opposite of genuine freedom.
 - *"In capitalism everyone can make it if he only works hard."* -- This is firstly of course not even logically possible, it's just as claiming that everyone can win the Olympic games; to reach the top in an extremely competitive system not only do you have to work hard, you also have to be born with the right talent, in the right place, to the right family, and be immensely lucky to be in right places in right times and make correct guess decisions in situations in which it is impossible to know the correct decision. Even if you work 24/7 without sleep, there will be thousands of others who do the same, your success is a pure bet on lottery. **Capitalist fairy tales make heavy use of the [survivorship bias](survivorship_bias.md)** -- you will see movies only about the successful people who are asked how they achieved success and who answer along the lines "I just worked hard". Indeed they did, but this doesn't imply that anyone working hard will succeed, this is the same as taking an advice from a lottery winner; if you ask a lottery winner how he won the lottery, he will simply say "I bet all I had on a random number". Following such advice is of course just about the worse decision you can make. If everyone can make it, why doesn't everyone do it, why don't we have a world consisting exclusively of billionaires?
-- *"Capitalism just works, capitalism is natural, capitalism means [progress](progress.md) etc."* -- **Capitalism doesn't work, it's just hard to get rid of.** Progress isn't dependent on capitalism, progress can't be stopped and will be here even without capitalism, on the contrary, capitalism mostly smothers the good kind of progress, e.g. by inventing intellectual property it prevents full utilization of us having the technology for unlimited sharing and reusing of information. If it "works and is natural", then it works and is natural natural in the same way as for example cancer or wars. This doesn't mean we should support it or see it as something positive. Most of other similar lies are discussed in sections above.

Capitalist products last about 1% of the time they normally would due to artificial obsolescence and consumerism, they are littered with [DRM](drm.md), [bloat](bloat.md), surveillance technology, made from cheapest material, designed to break, show ads and so on. Capitalism aims to produce the lowest quality product that will just barely be accepted, anything better is wasting profit. { As a curiosity compare for example movie dubbings in countries during "communist" and later capitalist eras (e.g. Hungary or Czechia) -- ask the people who live there, they will tell you the old dubbing was art, made with care, the new dubbing is a hasted shit produced as cheaply and quickly as possible. ~drummyfish }
 - Fairy tales about about the rich "capitalist altruist": you will hear stories about famous capitalists that paint them as nice guys who give to poor for free, who do manual work despite not having to etc. This is just part of cult of personality propaganda and applying cheap populist tricks to deceive masses. A rich guy giving $100 to a poor kid on camera is an extreme powerful marketing that costs $100, which for a billionaire is of course a laughable cost. The fact is that every billionaire is the best player of the most dirty game humanity has invented and researching any such guy reveals, basically in 100% of cases, that he was in fact the worst imaginable psychopath -- Edison killed animals with electric current as part of marketing, the owner of McDonald's stole the idea and know-how from McDonald brothers ALONG WITH their own name, similar thing happened with KFC, Steve Jobs was infamous for his psychological pressure on workers equating torture, the working condition's in Ford's factories were basically the same as those for black African slaves, etcetc. **Trying to find a rich man that's good is like trying to find a shark who's a vegetarian.**
 - "You sometimes have to suffer unpleasant things in life." -- It is true that living a good life involves SOMETIMES voluntarily choosing to undergo suffering for things you feel are MORALLY GOOD. Capitalists turn this on its head and tell you: you have to suffer CONSTANTLY and do things you hate and know that are MORALLY WRONG, because that's "how life is" (because we made it to be that way).

The number of games along with the randomized order should make it difficult for you to remember what the opponent (you) was thinking on his turn. Of course you can record the games by noting the moves, but you may want to cover the moves (in which case you'll have to be keeping the whole positions noted) until the game is finished, so that you can't cheat by looking at the game history while playing.

 - **antichess** ([suicide](suicide.md), ...): The goal is to lose all men or get stalemated, rules are a bit changed, e.g. castling and checks are removed and taking is forced.
 - **chess 324**: Chess with randomly modified starting position to prevent opening theory and draws, similar to chess 960. Here queens, knights and bishops are randomly shuffled in the start position with the condition that bishops must be on different color squares (no symmetry of position is required). Advantage against chess 960 is that otherwise the rules (i.e. basically castling) stay exactly the same, so basically any chess engine can also play chess 324 without modification.
-- **chess 960** aka **Fischer's random**: Starting position is randomly modified by shuffling the non-pawn rows (with these rules: king must be between rooks, bishops on opposite colors and black/white's positions are mirrored). The rules are the same with a slight modification to castling. This was invented by Bobby Fischer to emphasize pure chess skill as opposed to memorizing the best opening moves, he saw the opening theory as harmful to chess. Chess 960 is nowadays even advocated by some to become the "main" version of chess.

 - **[chess boxing](chess_boxing.md)**: Chess combined with box, players switch between the two games, one wins either by checkmate or knockout.
 - **crazyhouse**: When a player captures a man, it goes into his reserve. From the reserve a man can be dropped (as a man of the current player's color) to an empty square instead of making a normal move. This is a rule taken from [shogi](shogi.md).
 - **custom starting positions**: Creating custom starting positions is a big fun in itself, for example one can make an epic battle by replacing all pieces with queens, or a very strategic scenario in which both queens are trapped and have to be freed, or an asymmetric battle of many weak men versus a few stronger ones, or trollish ones such as the standard setup, only flipped vertically. Only one's imagination is the limit.

 - **more players**: E.g. 3 man chess or 4 player chess allow more than two players to play, some use different boards.
 - **old chess**: The rules of chess itself have been changing over time (e.g. adding the 50 move rule etc.). The older rule sets can be seen as variants as well.
-- **puzzle**: For single player, chess positions are presented and the player has to find the best move or sequence of moves.
 - **racing kings**: The starting position has both players on the same side, the goal is to get one's king to the other side first.
 - **r-mobility** (reset mobility): Modifications of rules so that draws become impossible (on very high level chess becomes very drawish, this is one way to deal with the issue, even if it's used e.g. in tiebreaks). R-mobility basically generalizes mate/stalemate and works as follows. When the game ends (mate, stalemate, timed out, ...) the player with lowest number *Rp* (*p* is the player) wins. *Rp* is computed like this: at start and after any pawn more or capture it is set to infinity (reset). After player *p*'s move if the the number of opponent's legal moves, plus 1/2 if he's not in check, is lower than *Rp*, it becomes the new *Rp* (i.e. we take the minimum). So checkmating opponent means achieving 0 (the best possible), stalemating him achieves 1/2 etcetc.

Here are some of the variants designed specifically for one player:
+  - **puzzles**: Player is presented with real game situations and must find a solution, usually checkmate in N moves or finding the best move, but other goals are also possible (e.g. find the worst move). Puzzles still have to be created by someone (human or computer).
+  - **solo chess**: Similar to puzzles but there are different rules. There are only same color men which can capture each other. The goal is to capture all of them but one. Each move must be a capture, each man can only capture once and if there is a king, he has to be the last man.
+  - **safe passage**: Closer to actual game of chess, kind of similar in spirit to e.g. [peg solitaire](peg_solitaire.md). Basic setup and almost all rules stay the same as in normal chess, but there is no en passant or promotion. The easier goal is to make the two kings swap places, the harder goal is to also swap the queens. No man can move to a square where he could be captured, except for pawns which may even be captured.

This is a corporation using human intelligence while removing human conscience.
 
 This is further taken to perfection by corporations not even having a single responsible owner -- there is a group of shareholders, none of whom has a sole responsibility, and there is the CEO who is just a tool and puppet with tied hands who is just supposed to implement the collective bidding of shareholders. Of course, most just don't care, and most don't even have a choice. Similar principles allowed for example the [Holocaust](holocaust.md) to happen. Anyone who has ever worked anywhere knows that managers always pressure workers just to make money, not to behave more ethically -- of course, such a manager would be fired on spot -- and indeed, workers that try to behave ethically are replaced by those who make more money, just as companies that try to behave ethically in the market are replaced by those that rather make money, i.e. corporations. This is nothing surprising, the definition of [capitalism](capitalism.md) implies existence of a system with Darwinian evolution that selects entities that are best at making money for any cost, and that is exactly what we are getting. To expect any other outcome in capitalism would be just trying to deny mathematics itself.
 
 A corporation is made to exploit people just as a gun is made to kill people. When a corporation commits a crime, it is not punished like a human would be, the corporation is left to exist and continue doing what it has been doing -- a supposed "punishment" for a corporation that has been caught red handed committing a crime is usually just replacing whoever is ruled to be "responsible", for example the CEO, which is of course ridiculous, the guy is just replaced with someone else who will do exactly the same. This is like trying to fix the lethal nature of a weapon by putting all the blame on a screw in the weapon, then replacing the screw with another one and expecting the weapon to no longer serve killing people.
 
+Former CIA employee Andrew Bustamante openly shared with Insider that the government spies on people through corporations, he specifically said "we're not a police state, we're a commercial state" -- this says nothing else than that corporations have taken to do the dirty job for the state, which was traditionally reserved for the tyrants, ending up implementing a [de facto](de_facto.md) police state once again, with the only difference being the added layer of indirection which, as we know, is enough for the [people](npc.md) to accept what they otherwise wouldn't. People in the US would hardly ever accept a government installing spy cameras directly into everyone's houses, but they will accept it if it's done through a [middle man](middle_man.md) within the business framework: the corporations spy and get the data, and the government just gets the data from them -- there is a symbiosis: state will support corporations and vice versa, to form a ruling body capable of unprecedented capability to exploit people.

 **It is always better for a corporation to not exist than vice versa.** The [proof](proof.md) is following:
 
 1. It is better to have no corporation than an evil corporation.

hacking.md

 - **[bit hacks](bit_hack.md)**: Clever manipulations of [bits](bit.md) -- for example it is possible to swap two variable without a temporary variables by using the [xor](xor.md) function. Another simplest example is implementing division by 2 as binary shift by 1 (this hack is used in real life by people for quickly dividing by 10, we just remove the last digit).
 - **[copyleft](copyleft.md)**: A legal hack by [Richard Stallman](rms.md), connected to [free software](free_software.md), working on the basis of the following idea: "If [copyright](copyright.md) lets me put any conditions on my work, I may impose a condition on my work that says that any modified version must not impose any restrictive conditions".
 - In minimalist [C](c.md) programming mainly two standards of the language are used: C89 and C99. To distinguish between them in source code one can e.g. exploit the fact that C99 introduced line comments (starting with `//`) and make such code that C99 sees part of it commented out while C89 doesn't. For example the following two lines: `int isC89 = 1 //**/ 2`, `; isC89 = !isC89;`.
+- **shades of gray on 1bit display**: There is a trick, used for example by [Arduboy](arduboy.md) developers, that allows displaying shades of gray [colors](color.md) on a display that can normally only display two colors: black and white. The trick lies in quickly blinking a pixel, which to the eye will create the illusion of black and white color averaged over time, and the blinking ratio can further created more shades of gray. The requirement here is sufficiently high FPS of course.
 - **[fast inverse square root](fast_inverse_sqrt.md)**: Famous hack that was used in the [game](game.md) Quake, it [approximates](approximation.md) an inverse of [square root](sqrt.md) of a [floating point](float.md) number by treating it as an integer and bashing it with a [magic constant](magic_constant.md), which is about four times faster than computing the value with the obvious floating point division.
 - **memory [rape](rape.md) in [C](c.md)**: E.g. instead of doing proper memory allocation with potentially inefficient and bloated `malloc` one may try to do a custom memory allocation without any libraries by abusing allocation on stack -- allocate a variable size array in main, set some global pointer to it and then manage this chunk of memory with your own allocation functions.
 - **actually portable executable** (https://justine.lol/ape.html): Justine Tunney found a way to create an executable format that passes as a valid NATIVE executable on all major systems including [GNU](gnu.md)/[Linux](linux.md), [Windows](windows.md) and [Mac](mac.md), i.e. it is possible to compile a native program (e.g. with [C](c.md)) and then have it natively run on any major OS.

+## Types Of Intelligence, Traits Of Intelligent People
+
+Below are some traits and types of intelligence, things we frequently see in highly intelligent men -- that is those who will also likely (but not necessarily) score high on an IQ test. We're about to see why intelligence is such a fuzzy, difficult to grasp concept and why it's hard to measure -- there are simply too many dimensions and unclear features. Notice also that some of the below are simply personality traits: for example curiosity and the habit of questioning everything -- this means that it is (to a limited degree but still) possible to increase intelligence by changing one's habits and personality, something that's difficult but not impossible.
+
+- **Speed, fast reaction, quick thinking and learning**: higher intelligence can almost be equated with being faster in thinking ([retardation](retard.md), the opposite of high intelligence, literally means "being slow") -- consider that virtually any problem can eventually be solved by anyone given enough time (even if only by [brute force](brute_force.md) trial/error over many years), what distinguishes us is only how fast we can find the solution. Fast thinking is apparent in the smart guy: he quickly accepts facts as they come and jumps from one task to another, which can actually make him seem absentminded or downright retarded -- but the results he achieves show he in fact is thinking both quickly and precisely.
+- **General intelligence**, or good overall performance in many different areas: those with high intellect are typically performing above average at everything, even physical tasks such as sports, handiwork etc. They do good overall at school and have many vastly different hobbies and talents, for example [programming](programming.md) combined with painting, poetry and sculpting, or perhaps geology, singing, model trains and [chess](chess.md) and so on. A single specialization never satisfies the big brain guy. He may on occasion end up achieving bad results, but they're typically only due to lack of interest; once the man gets interested in something, he will get good at it very quickly, no matter what it is.
+- **Deep focus, profound and complex thinking and long attention span**: the intelligent will rarely let himself fall a victim to [shortcut thinking](shortcut_thinking.md), he will pursue ideas deeper than most people and will almost never tire doing it -- he enjoys it and relaxes by thinking. Unlike a retard consuming entertainment media, the smart guy will spend long hours alone, accompanied just by his thoughts. He thinks constantly and can entertain himself only by thinking alone. Thanks to this he starts to see deeper connections and the "big picture" that remains hidden to others. A [retard](zoomer.md) (often euphemistically called ADHD or something) can't focus for more than a minute, he has to resort to accepting prechewed facts that someone feeds him because he can't verify their logical validity or plausibility himself.
+- **Spatial skills**: the ability to imagine and manipulate geometric and visual objects purely in one's mind. Those with this skill can conjure and manipulate three dimensional objects in their mind easily, play board games blindfolded, solve geometric puzzles, orient themselves in foreign environments and so on.
+- **Talent for [art](art.md)**: the intelligent often have a very good feeling and intuition for [beauty](beauty.md) and aesthetics (sometimes even possessing superior skills such as perfect pitch hearing), i.e. that which is hard or impossible to describe mathematically -- he just sees if something looks good or bad even without being able to describe why, and that's why he can make good art (even if it's for example of engineering nature): he sees/feels what should be added (or taken away) to get closer to an ideal, without the effort of conscious focus. A retard can't see if something looks bad, he will gladly accept that "[modern](modern.md) games look good", that "modern music sounds good", he won't mind bad typography, won't hear someone's singing off key etc., he can only rely on stupid simplifications such as "higher resolution = gooder" or "more newer = more gooder than more old" or "others like it = I like it" -- that's why an idiot never improves at drawing even if he's been doing it for long time, he just isn't guided by anything towards improvement. That's why idiots always buy courses and seek teachers, they can't self study because they're literally intellectually blind.
+- **[Language](human_language.md) skills**: this includes talent for learning new languages, ability to "hear and feel" bad grammar, having large active vocabulary, giving good and accurate descriptions and definitions, communicating efficiently and so on. This must however never be confused with thesaurus abuse and [buzzword](buzzword.md) spam often seen in [reddit](reddit.md) [atheists](atheism.md), [soyentists](soyence.md) and other pseudointellectuals. There seems to be quite a lot of research in psychology suggesting that language plays a bigger role than initially expected, for example many of the problems previously thought to have been of spatial natural have shown to rather activate the language neurons in the brain. After all language isn't just words but rather relationships between concepts that are represented by abstract symbols. Our brains do not work like calculators -- they work more like "[AI](ai.md)" language models which learn to solve problems (even those to which this is not an efficient solution) by learning patterns in natural language.
+- **Good memory**: both long term and [short term](ram.md). Obviously, as is known, memory is a crucial resource for computation and brain is nothing more than a computer.
+- **[Abstract](abstraction.md) thinking**: a dummy chicken brain spends majority of time thinking about quite specific physical objects and material concepts (car, house, money, clothes, women, ...) with occasional treatment of simple abstract ideas (counting with fractions, arguing about politics and economy, ...). Big brain, on the other hand, will more often think about the abstract and also in significantly higher levels of abstraction, perceiving subtle differences between them, make generalizations of concepts, invent new useful abstractions etc.
+- **Mental calculations**: probably thanks to good memory, quick thinking, language skills and other mentioned traits it happens that the smart are often fast and precise at mental calculations. This is not an absolute rule but all high IQs are at least slightly above average.
+- **Emotional and social intelligence, having higher life goals, resisting low instincts, focusing on the spiritual and intellectual before the material**: the intelligent shows high empathy and understanding of others, he can see through lies and propaganda easily, he has the ability to accept suffering, give up comfort and safety, he is able to [love](love.md) those who hate him for seeing the deeper reasons for why they are so, he can forgive, he is humble, never [worships any people](hero_culture.md), never seeks fame or success, never respects anyone's authority, despises prizes, medals and honors, he loves animals and other life forms and adopts higher life goals such as [selflessness](selflessness.md). For this he always tends to [socialist](socialism.md) and [altruistic](altruism.md) thinking, adopting [pacifism](pacifism.md), [communism](communism.md), [veganism](veganism.md) etc. A retard is closer to an animal: preoccupied with satisfying immediate needs (see e.g. [consumerism](consumerism.md), various addictions etc.) and self interest (typically being a [capitalist](capitalism.md), [fascist](fascism.md) etc.).
+- **Creativity, non-conformance, critical thinking, questioning everything**: a genius is special by finding solutions in places where no one thought of looking before rather than by hard [work](work.md) (that he may do too, but it's not what's exclusive to the genius), i.e. solutions that were missed not for being difficult to achieve but rather too unconventional or dangerous by being in conflict with established ways. A chimp will just learn norms and values of society; a genius will always question them and will reject those that make no sense (in our society practically all), so he will become a hated noncomformist accepting controversial things such as [pedophilia](pedophilia.md). It's not a voluntary rebellion, his brain is physically incapable of NOT seeing what's actually good and what's bad, he naturally questions absolutely everything, including things like basic ethics and opinions of respected authorities. An idiot on the other hand is a conformist, tribalist, often a soldier or worker more similar to a machine mindlessly performing orders and dancing as he's told.
+- **Elevated sense of humor**: almost universally the intelligent love smart humor and are good at creating it, they can make fun of themselves easily and make jokes even where it's seen as inappropriate, e.g. dark humor during funerals, high quality [trolling](trolling.md) and offensive [jokes](joke.md) inserted into serious speeches, lectures, books, papers, making fun of taboos and so on. Again don't confuse this with cheap crap "humor" by wannabe celebrities who just think it's funny to laugh constantly and non-stop shit out streams of words just to keep saying something, sweating to stay in the center of attention, which they think makes them a master stand up comedian. Being able to spot the difference is also part of having higher IQ. It's extremely simple to entertain a retard because he buys cheap jokes such as puns, pop-culture references, sex jokes, parodies of famous people etc., he can't tell if humor is good or bad so he can easily keep consuming mass-produced humor such as Netflix shows, which to the smart equals torture.
+- **Seeing patterns**: all kinds of, be it visual, social, mathematical, [historical](history.md) etc. Again this will lead to seeing hidden truths and the individual being labeled "conspiracy theorist" or even getting diagnosed with schizophrenia.

+# Optimism
+
+Optimism is a [mental illness](disease.md) that manifests by refusing to accept the [truth](truth.md) because it's too hard or uncomfortable to bear. Optimism is always [evil](evil.md), it is the opium of the masses and plagues especially western society of the [21st century](21st_century.md), it makes people do nothing against a worsening situations because they accept the lie that things are actually fine rather than trying to fix them -- that's why the ruling bodies, such as governments and [corporations](corporation.md), always promote optimism, they want people to stay passive, blind, unaware and harmless. An optimist on board of a sinking ship will not try to do anything about the situation, he won't prepare a life boat or send distress calls, he will only close his eyes and ears to not see the disaster and many times will even attack those who refuse to do the same, accusing others of conspiracy theories and creating panic. An optimist in [dystopian society](capitalism.md) will not do anything to fix the situation, he will only keep repeating programmed phrases such as "it's not ideal but there are still good things", and so he'll end up collaborating with the system on [making it worse and worse](slowly_boiling_the_frog.md).

 PhD (also Ph.D., PhD. etc.), or *doctor of philosophy*, written after the name, is the highest academic degree that can be earned by being a student in [University](university.md), the basic title required for working as a [scientist](science.md) (nowadays more like [soyentist](soyence.md)). It is earned through many years of study and especially active publishing of original research that pushes the boundary of current human knowledge in a specific field. Despite being called doctor of *philosophy*, the title is awarded generally to scientists in basically any field such as [mathematics](math.md), [physics](physics.md), [psychology](psychology.md), [chemistry](chemistry.md) etc., NOT just to those studying [philosophy](philosophy.md). PhD is yet above [master's degree](masters_degree.md). It is a doctorate degree, so a holder of PhD is called a *doctor* (Dr.), just as those with other forms of doctorates such as medical doctorate or honorary doctorate; however PhD is the *big doctorate*, the kind of highest, most prestigious one. People with a PhD degree are considered the foremost experts, the smartest, most educated elite, as only about 1 to 2 % of population hold a PhD, though PhD is also often considered an overkill and an overqualification (there are many cases of people with PhD not mentioning it on their CVs because such a high education can actually be a disadvantage), and of course, as with everything under [capitalism](capitalism.md), PhDs became a thing of business and conformance, subject to corruption and degradation (there now even exist PhDs in [astrology](astrology.md), [gender studies](gender_studies.md) etc.), at times even a [meme](meme.md). PhD isn't what it used to be -- in the past a scientist was someone wise with a generally wide knowledge and also some sense of morality, nowadays a PhD absolutely doesn't come with anything like that -- **[today](21st_century.md) a PhD is simply a thinking machine**, extremely specialized in some very, VERY narrow field such as studying the front leg of some subspecies of some prehistoric bug; besides this narrow specialization PhD knows absolutely nothing about anything else (in this they are similar to highly trained [neural networks](neural_network.md) that perform superbly at one specific task like beating world chess championship but won't be able to add 3 plus 4). Yes, unless one is a minority or a [woman](woman.md), he still has to be somewhat smart and talented to obtain a PhD, but nowadays it's probably more about pouring an extreme amount of energy, slavery and conformance to the corrupt academic cults, so the prestige of the title comes for a pretty high price, one not worth paying. While the lower degrees demonstrate ability, PhD mostly demonstrated [conformity](npc.md) added to ability.
 
-**As of 2024 the PhD degree is a [joke](joke.md)**, you can no longer see it as a proof of anything more than simply wanting to get PhD a lot -- it is possible to get PhD without being talented or smart, simply by showing high conformity, determination and willingness to do [soyentific](soyence.md) slavery. If one is rich it's probably possible to get the degree without even dedicating a lot of time and energy. There now exist PhDs in joke fields and from meme Universities. [Academia](academia.md) is dead and its degrees are just funny letters added to one's name.

-**Should you get a PhD?** Unless you live in the past probably not -- as said the sacrifice required is enormous, to make it you should have a REAL GOOD reason, of which there aren't many -- perhaps if you REALLY want to be teacher at University or if for some twisted reason you want to spend your whole life in the corrupt toxic [soyence](soyence.md) environment trying to prove [women](woman.md) are better than men and sucking capitalist dicks so that they throw you a bit of money so that you can buy a microscope, then maybe. The thing is that focusing on PhD sucks away a great amount of energy you could spend on actually good things, consider that instead of actually programming [less retarded software](lrs.md) you will just have to do slavery for your dissertation advisor, do bureaucracy, p-value hacking, make powerpoint presentations, [marketing](marketing.md) for your research, give handjobs to sponsors, do bullshit research you dislike (because [publish or perish](publish_or_perish.md)), all while withstanding incredible amounts of stress and dodging depression. Really [masters_degree](masters_degree.md) is [enough](good_enough.md) to give you all you need for a rich intellectual life and being able to do good things, and it won't suck the soul out of your body. On the best universities even [bachelor's](bachelors_degree.md) is probably enough. If you REALLY wanna be the smartass guy who others ought to call a doctor, in some countries you may get some kinda small doctorate, usually just for an extra exam and paying some fee (e.g. RNDr, PHDr etc., details will depend on your country so check that out). { TFW just getting the EZ dentist degree so that you may call yourself a doctor :D ~drummyfish } Nowadays you can also just buy a honorary doctorate online, it's absolutely legal business, though you probably don't wanna support this kind of capitalist bullshit, you just pay them unholy money for a piece of paper.

If you REALLY wanna be the smartass guy who others ought to call a doctor, in some countries you may get some kinda small doctorate after master's degree, usually just for an extra exam and paying some fee (e.g. RNDr, PHDr etc., details will depend on your country so check that out). { TFW just getting the EZ dentist degree so that you may call yourself a doctor :D ~drummyfish } Nowadays you can also just buy a honorary doctorate online, it's absolutely legal business, though you probably don't wanna support this kind of capitalist bullshit, you just pay them unholy money for a piece of paper.
