so basically your redpill is that you should spam anki for the first 1000-2000 words so you can escape Tutorial Island and get input from adult stuff you actually might care about instead of literal baby books and Peppa Pig
my only problem with Anki is that there's no context. you don't want to learn to solve flashcards. you want to learn to use a foreign language. IDK if that's a real problem but it's my intuition. i've never seriously tried to learn a foreign language so i have no actual experience.

no that's just retards on xitter not understanding how IQ works (or what bell curves and standard deviations are)
IQs can't go down because it measures the average, now matter what, the average is by default set to 100 (we can set it to whatever but people just set it to 100)
america is like 99 IQ but that is because a billion Chinese people are taking the tests (and they have a test taking culture) and moving whatever the average is higher
People's brains today aren't really even that different from a caveman's brain, it's just with better diet, education, etc... you can improve your cognitive abilities (poor diet, and upbringing can make you retarded even if you have good genes)
btw IQ (metric, not "real") measures various cognitive abilities (real biological things)
for example there is fluid intelligence (ability to figure out information/solve problems without being told the solution), there is crystalized intelligence (things you learn), working memory (like RAM, chimpanzees score very high on this specifically, even above humans), spatial reasoning (rotate an apple in your head, happens in your visual cortex) and like a thousand other things, IQ tests just measure how you perform on each of these and give you score
not all cognitive abilities are measured just ones the general population ought to have, i.e. there is no test for photographic memory (since the average person doesn't have it), if one were added everyone's scores would decline compared to those who do have photographic memory (who would be scoring way more now)
