> I don't know why you don't like Noah Carl more, he's maybe the nicest person I know

He is nice and writes very well.

The people that got “liked very much” have a more risky (controversial?) writing style that polarizes opinions about them. I am pretty sure for example that Noah has overall the fewer haters, specially when compared to you, kmac, cofnas or sailer. At the same time he will have fewer hardcore fans for the same reasons.

Great that you took the time to do this btw. Interesting to see how similar your readership is.

I was the one complaining about 54.

Since my autism was noteworthy enough to be mentioned in the article, I did some research and found this link: https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/some-meteorite-realities/, written by a retired lunar geochemist Dr. Randy L. Korotev in response to nagging laymen, not having the heart or the patience to crush their hopes individually.

The author notes in a bold heading, "If a rock does not rather strongly attract a cheap ceramic magnet, then it is probably not a meteorite".

For those meteorites which are magnetic (~95%), he further recommends in this subpage (https://sites.wustl.edu/meteoritesite/items/metal-iron-nickel/)

that you "obtain a chemical analysis for the elements iron (Fe), cobalt (Co), nickel (Ni), chromium (Cr), and manganese (Mn)", with some follow-up reasoning and expected distribution of these elements in a true meteorite.

Could be of minor interest.

Will you release the data so we can do our own statistics?

"The top 5 topics all concern group differences: whether their origins, effects, or perceptions."

There might be a correlation between the order you listed them and the order they were ranked. "Fuck it, I'm just going to drag them all over and do some minor adjusting."

What is relation of IQ and other variables? Like Hitler-IQ, Pro-Abortion IQ, Socialism-IQ etc.

Adolf Hitler(neutral/like/like a lot)= %25 ~. lol

There is Antisemitism even among high IQ and Atheist people.

It is not suprising. Anti-semitism is one of main component of western culture for 2000 years.

There is big corpus about this.

They are like woke people when subject is jewish.

Note: I am Turkish Socialist not jewish.

It is quite strange the difference in the estimated IQ of your readers compared to Scott's readers (138 vs 125), any explanation why two such similar populations differ so much?

Thanks for including those iq test links in the survey. I didn't bother doing them during the survey but did them after; very interesting.
