   Source study "Machiavellianism" per college major. In layman's terms, the further to the right on this graph, the more likely people in that group are willing to ignore ethics and use cunning and other dirty tricks to get waht they want.

Are those results self-reported?

The paper says: Machiavellianism (i.e., desire for power, status, and social dominance). This seems to just say that competitive people are more likely to study economics and law than education and social work, and that men are more competitive than women. Describing the trait as Machiavellian seems oddly loaded for an academic study, as in my experience it's always considered quite negative. Though, according to the study, I guess a non-Machiavellian person would have likely written this article.

Sure it's a well studied trait with established indexes and relationships to things like crime, abuse, and ethics violations, but you feel like it's vague and that's much more important than anything a soft science like social psychology says through experiments and observation.

I don't have a the plot, but a hilarious social psychology presentation I went to had the thesis "Children who report their parents are hypocritical are far more likely to be inaccurate when reporting what their parent's values* are." *self-reported I asked some quesruons after the talk, and the professor was surprisingly unwilling to consider that hypocritical people might say something other than their true values on a survey.

Sorry, little Timmy, the study said that you actually fell down a flight of stairs and then ran into a door. Hopefully you learn to be more accurate in the future

The popularity of these giant cars is gonna go down in history as one of the stupidest, most preventable issues of the 21st century. The US makes looser vehicle regulations for 'light trucks' in the 1980s or whatever, and this one decision is now dragging down climate change prevention and pushing up child traffic accidents decades later. And they're always annoying to share the road with.

Aside from the field of view, the ever-taller front grills also make pedestrian collisions drastically more dangerous. I got hit a few years back, and since it was a regular car I just took me out at the knees and let me roll over the hood to dissipate some of the energy. Got off with just some contusions and maybe a light concussion when my head bonked the windshield. Meanwhile if it had been some loving F-150, it'd have hit me around chest height and probably would've annihilated my rib cage.

I drive a car in the Camry/CR-V range and you should require a special license to drive above that. Like you need 3+ children to get a minivan and those children need to be 200lbs+ to get an SUV.

yeah speaking from the perspective of someone who teaches gen-ed classes, most college students these days start with business or marketing or something like that, and not because they're necessarily coming from an extremely wealthy background. it's just seen as the safe choice that won't offend any parents. hell, this is even MORE so for students from poorer families or are the first generation to go to college, because they're focused on making money to support the people in their lives. whether or not these students survive in a business world that rewards nepotism and already having wads of money to throw around is a different story

Do regulatory agencies in other countries do this? I just want to see pickup trucks with hilariously sloped hoods.

Angepain posted:How exactly do they measure progress toward godhood Their aim is to build an artificial intelligence capable of such exquisite powers of self-analysis that it will design and construct its own successor, which will be armed with superior versions of all the skills the original possessed. The successor will then produce a still more proficient third version, and so on, leading to a cascade of exponentially increasing abilities. Once this process is set in motion, within weeks -- perhaps within hours -- a being of truly God-like powers will emerge.
