I don't really think a worldview "logical to a fault" is achievable, as the entirety of experienced phenomena cannot be completely fit within a rule-based construct. Even the greatest of our analytical machinations bend the knee to irreducible axioms.

Logical to a degree, however, I completely concur with. The world would be better off if everyone applied a bit more critical thinking, especially the few responsible for making decisions that affect the many.

more times than not a thorough analysis of the relationships between premises is not conducted, and what you end up with is a bunch of motte and bailey's masquerading as accurate deductions.

Applying the largely inflexible laws of logic onto nuanced irl issues is a craft of its own

skibidi

riot isn't running out of money, they can spend on both. They just refuse to.

yeah I do think there needs to be some kind of integration but overall even isolated they probably wouldn't lose their core audience. women's divisions and tac fps have a long history

in terms of esports rebrands its actually one of the better ones, not that I like it tho

he does it twerking 💯

yeah i agree as well!
also my comment was meant to be a funny off-handed one lol

while i agree that all of his daughters succeeding is definitely indicative of the key role nurture plays, his theory going into this was that "geniuses are made, not born" and so far only one of his children (depending on where you set the bar for "genius") truly attested to that.

The fact that he belongs to one of the most intelligent sub-ethnic groups in the world does more to discredit his theory than establish it, imo

i'm actually fucking down transhumanism ftw

his test subjects were his own kids tho. what i referrred to as his "life's work" are the polgar sisters

His "findings" also haven't been very replicable afaik

explain how i'm ready to have my opinion changed

am i wrong

unfortunately it ties back to the general argument of nature v nurture and that will probably be debated till the end of time so yeah

that's the average woman tho. i don't really care about the avg woman, the interesting ones are the exceptions to the rule i.e mel, sonder, noia, dodonut, l4ce, enerii, lizhi, vania, petra, mimi, miNt e.t.c and so far even they've fallen short. while i still think some of these women have a (very slim) shot at tier 1/2 performances, this is a fun thought experiment and i'm hella bored so

also gc teams most likely scrim regulars all the time, and while i do think gc might have slowed some players in terms of their drive to win, i don't think it applies to the exceptions

legendary cs org gotta respect

if mods nuke this they're fascist

that's kinda the point -> sample the edge of the curve repeatedly and experiment, and gen alpha/late genz is prime age for this

P.S: Lazlo Polgar's ethnicity actually negates his entire life's work methinks. Like bro how is an Ashkenazi jew partaking in the nature vs nurture argument on the side on nurture like my brother in Christ

valorant is the probably is the most inclusive an esport's competitive scene is going to get in terms of participation. The fact that i cannot point to a single AFAB who could be competitive at a t1 level is telling. The "no motivation" part shouldn't apply to anymore than a few participants in the league, and we've had gc players who quit the league to pursue pure pro careers before.

those one-off tests are mostly for show lmao
even then, the top riflers/awpers no doubt show much higher average RT's than the mean

apac gc and na's gc are incomparable in terms of skill
florescent will school enerii in a duel 8/10 times

what in the retard

KICKING OFF THE OFFSEASON

As of the time of writing, it is not implausible to assume that there is some variation in ability between female and male esports players. However, as a humble disciple of Lazlo Polgar, i believe that a solution to this problem can be reached for the specific case of tactical shooters.

The two differences I have determined would play the most important roles in highlighting male/female disparity would be spatial intelligence (debatable for the specific case of esports performance) [2] and reaction time differences [1] (non-debatable) . All the others either aren't constant factors or do not occur with enough frequency to be significant.

To this effect, I propose an experiment:

• Sample female individuals of ages 15 - 21 who already demonstrate exceptional ability relative to peers of the same gender. This should take care of or at most drastically reduce the differences in spatial perception performance between the genders [1], as this ability positively correlates with enhanced cognitive function[4]

• Place them on a moderately intensive exercise regimen, as this has arguably been shown to reduce the gap in reaction times between the genders to non-significant levels [1]

• Have them accustom themselves to higher sensitivities, as the general consensus is that women possess, specifically, finer motor precision over men [3], although this has also been extensively debated.

QA:
Why did you write this? I am bored and drunk. It's way too calm an evening for a Monday.
Is this well researched? No. The fuck do you think I am, a scientist?
Is this a fun idea? yea lol

they will still have hltv

NRG has like structural issues tho, even if they dont drop anyone and just +bonkar I think they'll be fine

all of vlr is actually just one guy on infinite alts

sorry

mid

dont get caught then

no shot the govt tracks down every usr accessing through a proxy, shit reads more like a deterrent

why are we talking like ppl won't just vpn to get around this

WAIT YOU FORGOT TO LIVESTREA-

but like...if you want to...no pressure

I'm joking don't

jump off a bridge and livestream it

how did the brit even manage leaks in the first place

you're basically trembo no? GAWK GAWK GAWK
