    There’s actually a very interesting 1995 research paper that studied the relationship between SAT scores and race and family income. In every single money bracket white and Asian s…

    It also helps that Qatar (along with the UAE and Kuwait) provide hefty benefits to married couples for marriage and childbirth. Emirati and Qatari women have almost 50% more childr…

    Was Hindu (I assume that’s the original language for which Indo-Arabic numerals were made for) written right to left ? I know Arabic was but I don’t think Indian languages ever hav…

    I mean his is the quintessential “both-sides” take that pushes (younger) people to be “unsure” about who they support, no? Russia is bad, but so is Ukraine and NATO, too. Russia is…

    Most younger people are quite skeptic of mainstream media so they don’t trust the narrative CNN and Fox News are trying to sell them.With the elderly it’s the opposite. Further, mo…

    Ultra orthodox women in Israel have the highest life expectancy and a negligible child mortality rate but they’re having more kids than any African country. Oman is a fairly develo…

    Isn’t luxury the only thing that’s even allowed to be built in most NIMBY cities? Try building large “market-rate” housing in Palo Alto and see what happens (even within the confin…
