Now there is a test

[Ishmael]

to determine which children should be subjected to post partum abortion.

The Pareto Principle.

Two of the first three comments rightfully call the study bullshit and the other one is funny AF

Instead of labelling toddlers for life why not just make the test compulsory at age 3 and raise the abortion limit to age 3 1/2 for all the failures? Much cheaper in the long run

I would have been interested to know the test criteria?

Same old 80/20 rule.Everything complies with that it seems.

 

[Pookie]

AJ isn't going to like this test. Not one ounce.

 

[Disgustipated]

Also, "now there is a test" is incorrect. Should be, "Now there is a result of a test started 35 years ago using only 1,000 kids"

 

[VaticanAssassin]

He sure does like following you around like the little copy boy bitch he is

No need to guess what group he would have fallen in.....

 

[VaticanAssassin]

It's rather telling that once the poor little uneducated guy determined he was unable to comprehend the article he turned to the comments for support.


20% indeed...

The Pareto Principle.

The actual argument in the article proposed early government intervention for "at risk" children.

To the surprise of no one, Ishmael accepts the study data and proposes "culling the human herd". He has often advocated eugenics as the solution for the world's problems.

so why don't we dump all people
to the bottom of the sea
before some old fool comes around and
wants to abort either you or me

Disagree. If he believed in that we would not have VatAss to kick around.

 

[OldJourno]

From the story:
The team believe that if all children could be tested it would be possible to work out who were at greatest risk, so that interventions could be made to prevent them slipping into a life where they were a burden on the state.

Somehow I'm skeptical more government intervention is going to help.

Intervention:

Nah... he found some comments others contributed on the website the article was posted and copied and pasted.

At least he pretended to have a position this time. More than he normally does. But you truly can't blame him. He is one of the 20%.... bottom of the barrel even.
No education and he makes copies for a living while financing phones he can't afford.......

He is kind of like a well trained dog. You post he comes running. Except a dog would stop coming after getting smacked in the nose so often. So like a dog, just a retarded dog.

The results of this study come as no surprise to me at all. I spent my working career applying the rule of 80/20.

I first became acquainted with Pareto's Principle in a series of articles written under the pseudonym of Archibald Putt that were published in Research & Development Magazine back in the mid 70's. Putt developed a law and some corollaries that have been the basis of discussion and, to an extent, popular culture ever since. The cartoon strip Dilbert is based on Putt's writings.

Applying the principle of, 'knowledge once gained will be applied' some nation, somewhere, at some time will enact laws/regulations to deal with the issue. We cannot forehand know what form those will take or how benign or draconian they maybe, but they will happen. And depending on how successful that endeavor is, other nations will follow.

In that criminal behavior is not totally genetic (there is some evidence that certain genetic anomalies DO produce criminals) it is pretty certain that the primary influence on childhood behavior from birth to 3 years of age are the parents/family. So how can a government successfully intervene without removing the child from the home? And what is to be done with those that are found to be incorrigible?

May you live in interesting times.

No. The Dilbert Principle book written by Adams was loosely inspired by Putt -and- Putt himself complained about Adams' half-ass interpretation of his writings.

We already have numbers that early intervention makes no difference. See: Head Start.

Except dilbert came out by Adams before The dilbert principle, so basically you are a fucking idiot and nothing he said was wrong.

But anyone with half a brain knew that. You being wrong as always that is.

Pretty much, all 'gains' disappear by grade 3. Which is why you NEVER see any long term stats re. Head Start cited.

So basically he went all google warrior on a subject he doesn't have the ability to understand trying to troll. Thought he understand whatever wiki summary he found. Didn't. Proved his own stupidity while trying to troll you.

Yep.

Epic fail....

That's our copy boy!!!

You expected something more?

BTW, you might want to run that article by psych-babe. Might make for an interesting discussion.

PS. The 'plinkers' are pretty neat. Point of aim changes, needless to say. But I ran them through the Firestar and the Colt Commander and they grouped pretty much same hole at 10 yds.

 

[neci]

there can't be a top 20%, if there isn't a bottom 20%.

I think you've missed the metrics.
