Our house in Journal

Is so jank. It’s humorous in a way, if it were not for some real health hazards.
We had one problem (of many) wherein our electrical was grounded to the plumbing. This causes a myriad of issues, but the biggest health hazard is a giant magnetic field caused by electrical current on the plumbing. This causes the entire house or almost the entirety to be encased in a strong magnetic field. The current comes from outside the house, the grid, other houses nearby, faults in appliances within the house, etc. Unfortunately I think we had all of these happening. Still do have some of it.
I’m glad we finally figured out the culprit. It’s not totally remedied yet but we are halfway there and have a plan in place. So is just a matter of getting the work done.
It’s so silly that just a few hundred bucks of wiring and plumbing supplies can fix all of it. I can’t figure out why people are so cheap! The previous owners botched almost every single way possible. Why? To save a couple cents here and there? I don’t get it. Maybe it is IQ. I get reminded by people continually that most people aren’t that smart. “Just think of how dumb the average person is-and half of everyone is dumber then that!”
So maybe it is IQ and I just am accustomed to a world of people of similar intelligence to me. It actually takes a lot of time and resources to deal with IQ disparities on a regular basis.
This is making me really want to move to New Hampshire. Lol. Highest average IQ in the nation.

And yeah, I know people can’t do anything about their IQ. I’m not saying there is anything bad or moral judgement. Just identifying a problem. People with similar IQ are compatible. Disparities create large areas of resistance in pretty much every social, emotional and practical level. Communication breaks down. Understanding and empathy are more difficult. Not that it’s impossible, just more difficult. So more energy and time are spent just trying to communicate and understand between IQ disparate people rather than a far more efficient and effective productive action. It’s just cost-benefit analysis.
And, people can’t do anything about their IQ, but it can certainly be optimized for future generations. Things like breastfeeding, 2-parent households (particularly having the father present), no spanking, no violence, no verbal abuse, no neglect, no cousin marriage, no chemical or other types of pollution, all contribute to higher IQ. Or at least refrains from damaging normal inherent IQ.
The vicious cycle though is that low IQ parents and societies do not value protecting their inherent IQ. And higher IQ people do.

Part of it is also the nature of human free will. Understood on a social level, it is disrespectful to impose an idea of what “should be” onto other groups, like the poor. The poor chose to be poor. Why should anyone tell them or even imagine that they cannot make that choice in sovereign confidence? I think it is a failure of empathy of the higher IQ to give credence and respect to those who make different choices. Respect people’s choices.
