I've always wondered why this is true though? None of those items you mention are any indication of intelligence. If you know what someone is meaning, then focusing on grammar and the like only makes you look like you can't find anything wrong with the other person's argument so you're picking on petty, irrelevant shit instead.

I'd bet pounds to pennies that, outside of constrained environments like twitter, correct grammar,spelling,etc will be positively correlated with IQ.

warmonger however has more dire problems towards his credibility, like the fact that he can't articulate his views, can't handle criticism, thinks "f*ck you" is a good reply to jones' funny pokes and has now resorted to saying that he could beat us up if he met us in real life.

brainless nonsense that you all seem to eat up. No real meaning. And for being old doesn't hold water for being a bully or troll. Old people can catch one to. And for Jesus. Ill let him do his thing and I will do mine. My wrap sheet speaks for itself. Im not the nicest person nor will I try to act like I am. I call it like i see it no matter the consequences. If those were meaningless posts then im sorry but I didn't see it that way.

I'll admit to adding comic relief from time to time, but I don't think I troll, unless you have a different perception of what that is to me. As for bullying, I don't think I do that either. I didn't say I could "f*ck you up", I didn't say "f*ck you". And if you've now abandoned Jesus, I don't see the point of you entering the conversation in the first place - I thought you began by defending the oracular, divinely-inspired nature of the bible? If not, I've understood what you were saying even less than I'd imagined.

not fully defending the bible. It has great words to live by. do I believe it blindly? No. The part I was talking about seems to me be a real possibility. Ive lived a crazy piece of shit lifestyle and am trying to change my ways. I jump off like a loaded gun at times. This being one of them. If I miss read you humor thats my bad and i say sorry. But i done tolerate shit. Im not Jesus I leave that up to him.

Education maybe, but IQ or even intelligence?

I rolled 3 sixes for intelligence, but the DM let me change it to strength and I made a fighter instead.

Just_essence wrote:Humans are irrational. For example, an employer, when faced with two candidates relatively equal in experience, is likely to base their choice off of appearance of the candidates, despite the fact that it has no relation to productivity. Also, most people don't like reading text that they have a hard time translating into literate language. It's also easy to assume that a person who has horrible writing skills has horrible intelligence as well. In the end, humans are automatically more tolerant towards those who can express their ideas in a decent manner. And, as jonesthecurl points out, this is only to a point.

That's not irrational, but it is an example of the principal-agent problem. Being rational depends on what the employer values because it need not be productivity alone. An employer who chooses lesser productive employees by discriminating on looks is prejudiced and less profitable--all else being equal. Still, that's rational decision-making. It's his chosen mean which attains his particular end.

I agree with the rest though. The transaction cost is hardly worth it.
