Add some batteries to the meshtatic nodes. and even if all electricity and networks go down, you and your friends can still organize and plan.

This is a non answer. yes, hypothetically they can, but the whole point of finding alternative channels is to make it difficult for them to do so, to the point that they might not even try.

That pessimism of “they can jam it anyways” is like saying do not wear a helmet while riding a bike, if you are meant to die that day, you will die regardless of head protection.

Plus, it will take resources for them to jam things, and the more resources they need to do that shit the faster it will deplete them and the less they can do, it is so obvious I do not know how to write it without sounding demeaning.

I am literally building a network in my town. Love this project, so much fun and useful

Attaching IQ to race is 100% racist and Nazi. there is more genetic variety within “races” (a racist pseudoscientific term that has no biological bearing) than between races, and also, if we went with the assumption that race is related to IQ, then Africans would be the smartest people on the planet. Because there is more genetic variety in Africa than the rest of the world¹. There is also the fact that IQ is malleable, spend a year watching tiktok and get tested you will see a cognitive difference, it is 100% a reflection of affluence and education.

Also conservatives (racists especially) love to talk about IQ, high IQ people. Those must be dog whistles, when they say high IQ they mean whites and Asians, and by low IQ they mean brown and black people. That is likely the issue, they were not talking about human intelligence as an academic conversation, they are just trying to say that there is a racial hierarchy, you did not understand each other because you were having different conversations. if you reply to them agreeing about that bs, they will likely open up about their racism and try to recruit you or push you further to the right.

¹ Humans were developing in Africa way before they left the continent, those who left were from relatively small population pockets, that is why the tallest and shortest ethnicities are in Africa. That is a scientific fact.

there no such thing as intelligence, it’s too broad an umbrella terms. I’m some conversations I’m the smartest I’m the room, in others I’m comically stupid. Some might have amazing creativity but bad memoy, or great intuition is some fields but terrible ideas…

any attempt to measure it, will be made in such a way to favour whoever is making the test to assert their superiority.

Having a test to see if kids are in the right environment is the only good use of IQ tests. anything else and you’re on your way to introducing eugenics.

historically, poor “uneducated” had more babies, and IQ tests have to be recalibrated because on average we have much better results than in the past. likely due to better education and resources.

want to improve collective intelligence? Shove that eugenics bs as far as your arse as you possibly can and invest in public education and community resources.
