So far The Penguin has just made me want to rewatch The Sopranos

That’s some good data. Thanks!

Can I ask where you got that data? Those numbers are substantially higher than I was able to find in the US, but I grant that my sources are self-reports. I can find public data, but only as recently as 2010.

Yet the Tengwar have more users in 2024 than Linear A. UTF isn’t a museum.

Fair enough, I can only speak for the US. In the US, the 50th percentile for professors is about the 80th percentile nation-wide.

Do you guys say this even when both sides are the same? In a vote between sky blue and navy blue, neither option is red, and neither option is closer to red.

I think it’s less about wealth directly as it is about the overly particular academic path. I think there is high heritibility among professors because their kids get a much better idea of how to become a professor, and have a built-in network.

Professors are nowhere near the 95th percentile in income. If this were the case, you would expect to see a spike around the 75-85 range, not at 95.

Linear A before the Tengwar. It’s a crime.

It’s just a matter of priorities. In order to build a spaceship and get it out of the atmosphere, you have to do a colossal amount of ecological damage, which is the last thing we can afford right now. Space ships are made with lots of lithium and cobalt and fun stuff like that.

I’m not saying forever, I’m saying that we’re in the ER for internal bleeding and you’re talking about doing an operation to fix our scoliosis.
