If you believe Jordan Peterson, at least in areas of his expertise, IQ is the best predictor of professional success, especially when coupled with conscientiousness (which, I think, consists of diligence plus industriousness).

"A few people decide over many" is true for any kind of organisation.
If you meant, that in a democracy, a majority dictates their will onto the rest, that idea is - at best - only very superficially true.
In a functioning democracy (i.e. the population is alert), no change can be made that excessively hurts even a 1% minority. Because otherwise you get protests, riots, etc. See Gilets Jaunes and similar movements.
Our current democracies are in danger from several sides:
- a complacent populace, sedated by free money and confused by crap on social media
- increasing centralisation (EU, WHO, FATF, …) and deference of authority ("we're just implementing <next layer up> recommendations")
- autocracies, using their transaction-based nature for a speed advantage to outplay rule-bound democracies.
- the broken fiat system, the collapsing of which was accelerated by excessive demands from both the unproductive (welfare state) and the ultra-rich (bail outs), both on the backs of the middle class.

I would modify it slightly: It's not the comparison, it's the ideal that is the thief of joy. When you compare, whether you find yourself to be superior or inferior depends on which of you two is closer to an ideal. And even if you don't compare yourself with others, having an ideal to aspire to, steals the joy.
OTOH, it also makes you improve. If you aspire, you win the long game, because you improve all the time. But you can still be miserable, because ideals are by definition unattainable.

There are many propagandists today, yes. But it is possible, even easy, to identify them. Look for inconsistencies between what they say over time, and between what they say and what they do. Ideally, one would judge people only based on their actions, although it is often hard to gain access to information about their actions.

I finally beat the sinusitis death loop at >50. Key for prevention is:
- keep your mucus membranes moist. Use an air humifier. Orange oil nose spray also helps, or salt water spray
- use a "node shower" after any day with in-person interaction
- wash hands after shaking hands
Key to recovery:
- suppress the symptoms by all means. Your nose HAS TO BE breathing freely. You get exhausted from breathing against a resistance. You also sweat, then freeze in your wet clothes.
- Sleep. Not just lie in bed with a screen. SLEEP
- make sure you're not low on zinc. Take supplements (A-Zinc is pretty good)

Die relative Feuchte nimmt bei Erwärmung zwar immer ab, auch beim Ofen. Aber der Effekt ist nicht gross im Vergleich zu dem einer Klimaanlage als Heizung. Die trocknet die Luft extrem aus. Ich vermute, das hängt damit zusammen, dass auf der kalten Seite das Wasser kondensiert und abläuft. Bin aber kein Klimaanlagen-Experte 😅

Ja ich bin zufrieden damit, sehr sogar. Sonst habe ich hier (im Ferienhaus) nur Klimaanlagen, die als Heizung dienen können, aber ich mag die sehr trockene Luft nicht, die da rauskommt. Der Ofen Pro lässt den Wassergehalt dagegen unangetastet.

Bin mit dem Ofen Pro von @21energy_com mehr als zufrieden. Unten mined er non-KYC Bitcoin, oben hält er den Kaffee warm (oder die Katze), und dazwischen pustet er dezent leise aber kräftig warme Luft in's Zimmer. Ausserdem ist er todschick.
Der Ofen Pro wird mit seinem S19j im Winter unsere Heizung ergänzen. Bis die Jahres-Stromabrechnung kommt, sind die Sats hoffentlich genug gestiegen, dass sie den Strom wieder eingespielt haben. Und wenn nicht, dann halt ein Jahr später. Ich hab Geduld. Sats sind Sats…
Derzeit wird von @21energy_com wohl nur der Braiins Pool unterstützt; dafür war alles super einfach einzurichten. Ich hoffe aber, bald auf Ocean Mining umsteigen zu können oder Solo zu minen.
Hashrate und Energieverbrauch je Temperatureinstellung von meinem Ofen Pro. Der ASIC ist natürlich gedrosselt; du willst ganz sicher keinen s19j mit voller Leistung im Wohnzimmer haben.
Abgegebene Wärme und Luftstrom finde ich sehr angenehm und nie störend.
Die Geräuschentwicklung hält sich sehr zurück; einzig auf Stufe 5 hört man den Lüfter etwas deutlicher, aber es ist ein neutrales Rauschen und kein Sirren oder Heulen.
Jetzt freue ich mich erst mal auf den Winter, und danach auf die PV-Anlage 😁 https://image.nostr.build/7de0ca8a6ef04c02c2bc277d519e45f642b2c89f01869be922d5aa866b780573.jpg https://image.nostr.build/a6b75f60ab41afa4c0f3d4ce7eed8f3d79010a746dc0758504163b7f3a92e1aa.jpg
