Let me put it this way…
The small, efficiently armored two person vehicle, with a fairly good power plant and the kind of armor, ordnance and weaponry >>626750 is looking for you see to the left?…. can handle ball 5.56x45 and 7.62x39. Most full sized rifle ammo goes clean through.
The larger, more efficiently armored squad vehicle, with a very good power plant and much better armor, ordnance and weaponry >>626750 is looking for you see to the left?…. can handle 7.62 NATO at over 100m… at under that range it goes clean through.
Now the combat suit isn't going to be efficiently armored, so it's not going to be as strong unless it focuses on like the chest and head, which is what most body armor does.
Best case scenario for the shitty Star Airborne video game with his Bulleter gun is that the enemy force simply adopts FN FAL, and uses some AP rounds. Can go clean through at all engagement ranges.
>IQ is correlated positively with education
Because smarter people can make it higher in our education system, not because education gives you IQ. You're born with a preset IQ amount and it can only get degraded, never upgraded.
So? Go up to 12.7mm, it's not like infantry can't carry it.
>since then
Since when? PASGT was a piece of shit and interceptor even more so, it can't handle half of what it claims.
And we basically need some kind of powered exoskeleton just to walk wearing current 40% coverage armor and carrying the standard 80lb of equipment.
A full coverage armor like a EOD would weigh about 100lbs in armor itself. Add another 20lb for exoskeleton, 30lb for two stroke or whatever magic you move it with, and 20lb of fuel, that's total 170lb of just the suit itself. Addition to 80lb equipment and a fucking 150lb cannon some of you fuckers think it should carry.
We're up on 400lb, add a 225lb trooper, and we're over 600lb.
This is all supposed to be standing bipedally, roughly human sized feet, 125psi pressure, more than an abrams tank. Good luck with your mobility.
Like I said, you're born with a certain IQ, and all you can do from that point on is reduce it. In fact pubescence and puberty are two stages of MASS dying of brain cells, they die constructively and actually prepare you for life.
Genie probably was born with a bigger IQ than us but starvation and disease she encountered in the fucking wilderness made the body cannibalize parts of the brain and parts of it died off, and she ended up like that.
It's like pointing to a person who ate lead chips his whole life and saying "wow if he just had education, he'd have been fine!".
>I don't think
That's an opinion buddy. What I said isn't my opinion, hell I don't WANT it to be true, it just is.
>At an early age, your neurons are making connections between themselves in order to build a functioning neural network. If this isn't encouraged, you'll end up with a brain with a less capable processing power and thus, a less intelligent individual.
The opposite is the case, both you and >>629847 you fail to understand the connections.
You're basically born with all of your neurons already connected, and your IQ is just the number of connections you're born with. Imagine it like being born with a block of marble or wood, and the size of it being your IQ.
The entire process of learning is actually the CONSTRUCTIVE elimination of certain useless connections. The first burst of this dying off of connections happens in prepubescence, when the general rough shape of you is set by the removal of extraneous junk. The second burst of neuron connections dying happens in puberty, when your final personality is set in stone. As you age, more cells will die, and some will die more than others (leading to small changes in personhood), but mostly it's a gradual random wearing away until you die.
Whereas the process of getting dumber is DESTRUCTIVE elimination of connections at random, which happens when you're starving, frying your brain with alcohol, or have heavy metal poisoning. It's a little like the difference between chiseling a figure out of a marble block, and smashing the marble block with a hammer.
Basically you have to stop thinking of IQ as the quality of "being smart". IQ is the rate at which you learn, not how much you've learned or what you know.
>More like all activities her brain did were centered around survival as an animal and so shaped her thinking
No, she literally starved as a child and experienced the kind of diseases and parasites that civilized people haven't seen for centuries. There is no magic quit engaging in magical thinking.
92% of the planets with liquid water around them are:
Mars sized or smaller.
Orbiting very close to a red dwarf or a gas giant.
Earth is weird, once you get to earth size, most planets with liquid water are covered with literally thousands of miles of liquid water. It's very rare for an earth sized planet to have any land on it, which makes humans probably some of the toughest terrestrial creatures in the universe.
