"This twin study demonstrates that creative achievement is highly heritable but genetically distinct from intelligence at the level of latent constructs. g accounts for approximately 10% of genetic variance in creative achievement; the remainder is creativity specific."

"We conclude that only a miniscule fraction of the social returns from technological advances over the 1948-2001 period was captured by producers, indicating that most of the benefits of technological change are passed on to consumers rather than captured by producers."

The odds of having dementia at age 85 were close to 1 in 3 in the 80s; now they are 1 in 10.
I donβt think we have a great explanation: better cardiovascular health, diet, and education are often mentioned. Good news nonetheless.

βMean IQ β¦ can differ even between two time periods of the same population. Such ubiquity arises because natural selection acts on cognitive ability in a multitude of ways and for a multitude of reasons.

Historians love picking symbolic dates when `everything has changed`, even if people living then barely noticed it. Like 476 and the fall of Rome. So, as a failed historian, I suggest 28 Feb 2026: the publication of Donald Knuth Claude's Cycle - the beginning of programming.

One thing about DL researchers that has always been surprising to me, is that a lot of them have never been exposed to forms of learning other than fitting the parameters of a curve via gradient descent, and are even unable to conceive that there might exist other options
