Anyone have a link to the source

Oh, to have both the realization that everybody is a complete moron, and the urge to punch them because of it...
Yeah I saw this and all I could think was "Mad! The guy is going to be mad about all of the stupid while also knowing he can't use his fists to make it (actually) better". A constant cycle of never having all of the solutions or a way to feel better.
How does this lead you there? IQ 100 is already the average by definition, so no matter how moronic people are as a whole this chart will look the same
Hum... Have you missed the entire OP's joke?
Oh were you commenting from Gigachad's perspective? I did miss that
i started balding at 20 so it could very well be me
You're halfway there, you just need to get smarter now!
i don't think i could possibly be smarter than i already am.
...the scale goes 0-100, right
Apparently Plato got his name because his chest was like plate armor.
The Ancient Greeks believed that you had to exercise the body and mind so that checks out
For about a month every day, he drank 500grams of protein powder, mixed with meth and cocaine - power lifted every day .... literally saw the face of God for a moment and could understand space and time ... then suffered a massive heart attack and died.
Hairy genius!

Man i hate confirming these kinds of biases. I wish this plot werent true, but it makes so much sense.
The R^2 is trash, this is just a very squished cloud
It's Add Health, so it's not even the R2 that's the problem but the fact it's probably got a ton of covariates not included in the model. Lots of contextual variables not in that set drive me nuts, although I'm not even sure if 5th wave exists or has testosterone data lol (haven't used it in years)
Well, it's also important to note that the variability is high so the prediction for a single individual won't be of much use
I wish this plot werent true
That's an easy wish! Last time I saw this plot people were saying that this kind of data doesn't even exist in the mentioned source (that and IQ is kind of bogus, but y'know)
That’s the alpha chad meme
That’s a bonafide Boltzmann brain.
A real self-made man
Btw is this real? I thought there was no conclusive data on testosterone and inteligence being related. Most sources say that its the change which matters(meaning that if you start taking it) and not the baseline except in the extremes.
It probably lacks correction for age...
More ~~ovaltine~~ testosterone please!
Inconceivable!
