I think there's a clear correlation there, but the axes are reversed: testosterone can't be the dependent variable of IQ score. Reversing the axes makes the gradient look incredibly steep, but that's only because of the obviously incorrect anomaly. r=0.435 is very much not a strong correlation, but it's not zero either, especially with a sample size this enormous.

If you remove the anomaly, which may be due to an accidental additional digit, that correlation coefficient may climb a bit.

Thanks chatgpt.

No true Scotsman allows public infrastructure to decay, corporations to trample people's lives, capitalism to run unchecked, "states rights" to overturn Roe v Wade.

Airway, back to the original point: conservatives are stupid because they think that seeing gay men kissing turns children and teenagers gay.

Just be careful to never see or hear about any trans women having lesbian sex, because it could turn you trans and nothing makes conservatives crosser.

Libertarianism is really really really stupid because in the real world no one pays for high quality roads, light rail network etc, safety nets for folks too ill to work or recently sacked through "reorganisation" etc etc etc unless they're forced to. Privatised healthcare sucks for most people except the very wealthy, same for education. Libertarianism puts no governmental checks whatsoever on the power of corporations, it's basically the rule of the jungle where the wealthy get freedom and the poor get slavery back. What stops corporations poisoning you for profits? I'll give you a clue, it's not competition. If you don't regulate, people die. Just because American governments are crap, doesn't mean governments are unnecessary. Individual liberty is a great concept, yes, but if nobody forces children to share and be considerate, they never learn it. For example, Elon Musk, Donald Trump.

If you were capable of logic you wouldn't be trying to argue you were right when it was pointed out to you that in this context, on this issue, you are wrong.

Also, libertarianism is really really really stupid, so there's that.

Apologies for not researching your whole post history, but I don't see how that's relevant anyway. If its no big deal, why the fuck are you spending so much time and effort defending it, arguing with people who pointed out your error?

There are more things to discover than existence.

You carefully avoided any mention of your actual politics, whilst telling me off for not knowing yours. I don't know how you think in supposed to know.

I don’t hate liberals you clown

You have a funny way of showing it, and I'm no clown, thank you very much, I'm just pissed off that so many people BoTh SidEs stuff where there are real differences.

But if you don't hate liberals, there's even less need to dive in with your false equivalence between the two American parties over homosexuality, one of the few issues where they do differ substantially. If you have a brain, use it.
