‘It used to be you get a democrat and a republican, and everyone’s happy, and then Patrice LaMumba’s pinky falls out of his pocket…’ 🤣

the comment about the "shithead social studies teacher" with the cow metaphor is insanely accurate. felix cannot miss. (Mr. Argo, however, did.)

these film reviews don't fucking miss.

All right, that does it...I am going to resort to watching Cushvlog episodes from a year ago...I must get my Matt Christman stream of consciousness fix. I keep thinking, who are these people interfering with Matt Christman. I am experiencing really bad Cushvlog withdrawal...such a cruel bearded man to cut us off so abruptly...I really miss the journeys of the mind you used to take us on Matt. Even if I didn't always agree, I knew I could leave my reality for a solid hour or more... KZfaq became a more desolate place without your Cushvlog show Matt. Please finish your book soon so you can restart Cushvlog. Thank you for helping me endure the Pandemic Matt!

Lmao oblivion npcs caught in a dialogue loop walking into doors. Perfect analogy.

"When he said you can never take this moment away from me, that's like the last line he says before you find the Cathedral he's isolate in and kill him for his soulstone. This is the moment keeping him alive in Dark Souls 4."

24:25 Whenever Felix starts saying “so-and-so looks like...” without fail my shit falls apart FAST❤️

If only there was a way to clip into this movie Ken Langone crying on CNBC because people were talking about raising taxes during the Democratic primary.

happy about all the movie episodes but seriously thankful for the ones about the dogshit films because from what i'm hearing i couldn't mentally endure watching these myself lol

18:40 oh my god my batshit 11th grade government and economics teacher did this exact thing lmao

One of your best episodes to date. Bleak, but so on point and sincere.

I was looking for a clip of John Smock, the Chilean Constitutional Convention secretary and this was at the top of my misspelled query's search results and for a second was very confused about why CTH did an episode about him.

“Susan Collins; now that’s a woman who’s aisle I’d like to cross”

i wish that they would take apart that inane Allen v Farrow ‘documentary’…i have my own little list of what i’ve undergone, i suppose.

ADVERTISEMENTS

Daily Wire ad on this 😂😂😂

The review Felix read almost killed me

What’s up with all the ads? I mean, I’m happy to see y’all getting paid but damn. I’ve already had 3 or 4, and there’s still 14 yellow lines coming up :/

I'm sure this point has been made before, why do they think it's realistic to place ads every 4 minutes?

More commercials please

Why does will keep saying canard? What do ducks have to do with this?

What the fuck are these ads?

Good job 👍

OMG, sound quality is incredible! The humor...mwah! You know, I'm actually *glad* Biden won now.

Wtf there’s so many ads in this one

"wretched ham oaf"

felix talks a lot about opiates

It’s also like The Snowman (“I gave you all the clues”) because it’s an awful movie

Jesus the amount of adds y'all are shoving in is getting less and less aberrant...

I thought the home depot guy was anti-lgbtq? There's some reason I've been boycotting home depot-i can't quite remember

19:11 Who got Cumtown in my Chapo?

Relax with these ads, my goodness

is felix doing a bit where he has to plug everything he's ever done on this ep?

Too many ad breaks to listen. Mainstream media isn't even this bad. 20 ad breaks in an hour, sod off.

But you guys are wrong as fuck about Hawk Newsome. That guy works round the clock for his cause; even good people can get caught in crapola these days.

Lots of Jews in this documentary

The relationship between educational attainment and genes is complicated, and we are still at the beginning of trying to disentangling this. The fact that genes play a role in educational outcomes has been established decades ago with twin studies, whereby identical twins, who share 100% of their DNA, were compared to fraternal twins, who share as much DNA as a normal pair of siblings. Like all behavioral traits that were studied in twins, identical twins were more likely to have similar educational levels than fraternal twins, which is a strong indication that the trait is heritable. The heritability of educational attainment has been estimated to be ~40%. More recently, geneticists have been able to pin-point specific locations in the genome that are responsible for these heritability estimates. The effects of individual genetic variants are very small, so very large sample sizes are required to reach sufficient statistical power to identify these tiny effects. In 2013, the first three variants were detected in a study where DNA was measured for 126,000 individuals. Larger studies followed soon thereafter, with the most recent study from 2018 consisting of 1.1 million individuals, which identified 1,271 genetic variants to be significantly associated with school performance. This number will certainly increase as these studies grow. In this latest study, all these small effects in aggregate explain about 10% of the individual differences in educational attainment. Geneticists are now able to show, using molecular DNA measures, that the association between your genes and educational attainment can in part be explained by these indirect genetic effects that travel from your parents trough your rearing environment. This means that these genetic effects are about half as predictive of school outcomes in adopted children than in children that grew up with their biological parents. A similar effect is visible on a regional level as well. A recent study of 450,000 people from all over Great Britain showed that people with similar genetic propensities for educational attainment cluster together geographically, and that the geographic patterns of these genes strongly resemble regional differences in socio-economic status. The environmental living circumstances also differ greatly between these regions, resulting in regional differences in physical and mental health problems, which in turn has its impact on regional differences in educational attainment as well. Part of the associations between genes and educational attainment are due to these regional differences in environmental living circumstances, making these genes less predictive for educational attainment within regions than across the country. Genomics is just starting to disentangle what these associations between our genes and school performance mean, and the field still have a long way to go. There are a number of directions in which this research will continue. Firstly, geneticists will continue to increase the sample sizes, so they can produce better estimates of the genetic effects and identify more associated genetic variants. These larger studies will have to be conducted within families and within regions as well in order to control for the environmental influences that artificially inflate the estimated genetic effects, while also learning more about the indirect genetic effects of the genes carried by the people around us. Secondly, they will have to tease out through which lower-level traits these genetic variants express themselves. Genes do not directly influence educational attainment, instead they influence biological processes that are associated with a wide range of lower level outcomes that together have an influence on your school performance. These lower-level outcomes include things like intelligence and personality, but also outcomes related to physical and mental health. Finally, once they have teased out through which traits the genetic effects travel, it will perhaps become more feasible to start learning more about all the layers of complex biological processes in between these traits and our DNA sequence. Genetics could help raise awareness about the difficulty that substantial parts of the population have with climbing the socio-economic ladder in an increasingly complex society. Policy makers often overlook the role of genetics in the rapidly growing social inequalities. When we disregard genetics, we end up in a society where everyone is expected to have the capability to perform well in school and on the job market, and whoever does not is likely to be regarded as not having worked hard enough. Accepting that both genetics and environmental influences have a role in people’s failures and achievements might bring us a little bit closer to building a more fair society.

There are facts that were once known, sometimes generally known, that are now known to but a few. Some of this information loss is caused by changes in occupational patterns - farmers automatically know something about heritability, clerks and workers in dark satanic mills, and Chapo viewers, not so much. But mostly these facts are unpleasant, at least to some ears. People who mention such facts are punished - generally in terms of their careers, not being invited to parties, etc. That’s enough to cause a 10 or 20-fold drop in visibility, which ought to tell you something about how brave people are. Many people assume that everyone is secretly aware of those unpleasant facts, but that is not the case. A generation that has grown up never hearing those facts will be almost entirely unaware of them, in part because their personal life experiences don’t impinge on those patterns much. This means that they can and sometimes do make serious mistakes that those ‘secretly aware’ types never would. There are a lot of facts like this. It’s made even worse by charlatans spewing falsehoods - sometimes that’s all that the typical undergraduate is exposed to. For example, average brain size is not the same in all human populations. Average cranial capacity in Europeans is about 1362 ccs; 1380 in Asians, 1276 in Africans. It’s about 1270 in New Guinea. Generally there is a trend with latitude - brain volume is lowest near the equator. And no, despite Gould’s bushwa, there is nothing especially difficult about measuring brain volume. Direct measurement of a healthy brain is best; but that is now done, using magnetic resonance imagery, and the results are about the same - a mean black-white difference of about 1 standard deviation. Graduate students in anthropology generally don’t know those facts about average brain volume in different populations. Some of those students stumbled onto claims about such differences and emailed a physical anthropologist I know, asking if those differences really exist. He tells them ‘yep’ - I’m not sure what happens next. Most likely they keep their mouths shut. Ain’t it great, living in a free country?
