If Tate has N girlfriends instead of 1, he creates N-1 incels this way. How is he helping low status men?

did I write something suggesting implementing your own charging circuit? sounds like you do not want this in the first place. Oh if many wanted it, it'd be on market already.

look at the gay/lesbian community. Even if you crack reproduction, neither of these is capable of maintaining civilization, IMO.
Without a way to reproduce they cannot evolve towards goal of maintaining civilization, maybe cracking reproduction would make them to (and possibly introduce a schism)

India
most rape stories on European women in India are of multiple assailants; Indian men (in large part due to worse nutrition) do not have height and strength advantage over Euro women than Euro men have.

England was at smaller side on population, its huge growth is a 19th century thing. At 1500 England had smaller population than Portugal.
Given how bigger Nigeria that Ghana is, if averaged, Nigeria has more effect on total. Also I don't know if Ghana's supposedly low crime attractrs tourism and money from elsewhere (e.g. why Russians escaping Russia would chose Argentina with reported homicide rates as 2.5-3x instead of Ghana?? Ghana could offer both less crime and lower cost of living, wouldn't it?)
these high crime American cities?
these high crime American cities are cherrypicked for his crime. Average African American homicide rate, i think, is about 20 per 100k and I think it's about same in Sub-Saharan Africa.
looking at reported rates, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_intentional_homicide_rate some cherry picked black majority countries have crime rates not far below cherry picked high crime US cities (Jamaica, U.S. Virgin Islands, Trinidad and Tobago)
In Europe, there seems to be correlation between country homicide ration vs corruption perception index. In Africa, there doesn't seem to be or it could be inverse compared to Europe, so I think homicide ratios are suspect. I googled some crime victimization survey, which includes Botswana (but sadly, not Ghana) and Botswana comes noticeably safer than average yet most of other countries have lesser reported homicide rate. Maybe i'll make plots if I have time and willpower. I'd guess Botswana reports true homicide rates and extrapolate other countries from that, given association from European countries.

were they the only people in America, the ostracized criminals would have to live in a makeshift criminal colony far away from Amish areas.
if population density was allowing it, but if not, they would pretty soon get the need to have a prison system.

Is it THAT different from much more popular "any Russian killed is a Russian who will not invade western countries"?

effect on the populations over which it applies (lower base rate of mental illness, less tolerant of selfishness).
Mental illness is weeded out, but it has average heritability, and high IQ is weeded out, and it has high heritability so decreasing IQ will dominate.

I'm not saying it woudln't. Yours publishing ELOs is like leaking answers to exam before giving it to students. I am wondering about identifying people who have unbiased estimate of their own SMV. If they can read it from app, they can copy-paste it and pretend they have correct estimate of themselves.

The point is getting ones who correctly estimate their rating, just publishing it serves no reason.

and you don't think there's any risk of those wars spilling over into the first world or using nukes
If 1st world nations somehow agree to legalizing conquest in Africa, they can work out so they don't get nukes as well.

are you going to say that that poor backward Russia conquers rich Ukraine due to number superiority?
A part of answer might be that USSR early gave equal rights to high IQ Jews which partially offset the inefficiency of planned economy, then after creation of Israel most Jews eventually left and economy became less free in 1960th-s. In some things, it wasn't (unironically) real communism:
abortion banned by Stalin
education in schools after 7th year was paid
...I could even speculate that if Stalin had better health and lived longer, he'd change mind on genetics too...

Thanks! Maybe you'll mind answering two questions: About using local models, can it be tweaked so it doesn't forget context so easily? Maybe using learning runs on previous conversations? How does chatGPT retains context? I understand it does multiple processings for each prompt, and does lossy compression of previous chat history. How to simulate in in API?

I use the scare quotes and distinguish "African"
Thanks for clarification.
I don't quite understand what QuickMatch means.
"black" men rated "black" women about the same as other women
You can say that, or you can say that for every single year between 2009 and 2014 black men rated black women below both Asian and Latina women and that Black men are the only group of men who didn't not rate their women positively.
If you scroll down page to DateHookup data, it is worse for Black women: here Black men prefer White women over Black.
I guess reply rates, female sender is closer to actual rather than stated preference, black males respond only to 37% messages from black females, and 46..57% to other categories, it's not even close.

The old OKCupid data showed a huge effect of non-African men finding African women less attractive, but it didn't apply to African men.
Look at the numbers again, it did apply.

I don't like this fact, and think it would be amazing if earth was less dense and had only 2 m/s^2
Earth would have had no air, then.
Can someone understand anti-vaxx perspective on this? Why vaccine lobby does not promote vaccines against HIV? Mainstream science position [is that] existing HIV vaccines are experimental and not effective, but if anti-vaxx believe vaccine lobby promotes ineffecient or harmful vaccines, why would it be an obstacle?
