Ooo, this is getting traction again?

uhhh… this seems statistically improbable

@bens Which is what makes this fascinating!

Can we correlate 1st-born-ism to risk-taking traits?

Wait, is this actually a correct representation? Statistically, there should be more firstborns out of all n'thborns, right?

@Quroe of non-only-children, there are currently 79 first-borns and 40 non-first-borns... that's crazy

Why no options for "untimely ripped" or "sprung from father's head"?

@ClubmasterTransparent No man of woman born?

@ClubmasterTransparent Fashioned from Adam's rib?

@shankypanky surfaced in the upwelling, whole of clay, teeth and hair protruding?

Im not even within options lol

@ftkurt What, are you a clone?

@Tumbles Almost. 7th.

@ftkurt ...do you have younger siblings?

@Joshua Nope. They found the perfection :p

@ftkurt This furthers the theory that the overrepresentation on Manifold is due to subsequent children after the first having diminished reading comprehension

@Tumbles He did vote for "5th or more", I think he just wanted to be clear that he was in the "more" category.

I do want him to introduce his eldest sibling to Manifold for science, though.

@Joshua Yup; precisely. I was joking that i was simply thrown into “others” option which “5th and more” is.

Untrue, @ManifoldLove is the oldest sibling.

What if firstborn kids have their opinion taken more seriously than their siblings, because they are usually the smartest kid in the family while growing up (simply by being older). And then there could be a correlation between having your opinion taken seriously growing up, and being interested in Manifold.

@Tumbles I wouldnt say because they have better opinions but that they always have a younger sibling that will make their opinions matter. Growing up I ve always seen my older siblings wiser. Only when became an adult I ve seen that that was not the truth. For instance once I started learning computer science, I understood how full of $hit my brother was. He was simply spitting nonse, because I did not know it growing up. Consuming whatever he would threw at me. You can understand how much confidence such a way of growing up will give to you as the oldest sibling. So overrepresentation to me indeed is about the willingness rather than being smart or lack there of. It just is.

2nd borns, UNITE
