This Great Stage of Fools
American Thinker ^ | 12 Mar, 2023 | Clarice Feldman

Posted on 03/12/2023 4:59:25 AM PDT by MtnClimber

If you’ve ever wondered why the Left is so successful in fooling so many people for so long, you might consider branding expert Rob Frankel’s observation.

The average IQ score is 100, encompassing about 68% of the population. If you add in the population who isn't even that bright, all the way down to the bottom of the barrel, you'll find that an astonishing 84% of the population ranges from "average" to "breathing paperweight." That leaves about 16% of people who are "above average" or "really, really smart."

(Actually post “pandemic,” I believe U.S. I.Q. scores have gone down for the first time in decades.)

Of course, some really smart people can be taken in, too, but rarely do they confess their error. This week a very intelligent person, Naomi Wolf (B.A. Yale, PhD Oxford) did just that. She offered up a” full-throated apology” to conservatives for falling for the Democrats’ narrative on the January 6 events.

I believed a farrago of lies. And, as a result of these lies, and my credulity -- and the credulity of people similarly situated to me - many conservatives’ reputations are being tarnished, on false bases.

What opened her eyes was the videos shown by Tucker Carlson.

While “fact-checkers” state that it is “misinformation” to claim that Congresswoman Nancy Pelosi was in charge of Capitol Police on that day, the fact is that the USCP is under the oversight of Congress, according to -- the United States Capitol Police.

The average US IQ is going down because of the mass immigration.

And bad educational system with poor teachers, brainwashed with climate hysteria, woke, bigoted, biased, and facist ideas.

Is it no wonder that "AI" programmed with this data goes bezerk? Garbage in, garbage out.

We should track average wisdom.

But what causes all the dummies to go into journalism, acting, politics, or studies majors? ;-)

I do not know my own, but "Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding." (Proverbs 4:7) And people who boast of a high I.Q. should know of The Notorious Inaccuracies and Failings of IQ Tests,
and how IQ Tests Convinced a Generation That They Weren’t Smart and
IQ tests are 'fundamentally flawed' and using them alone to ...

Apologizing for ONLY the J6 events?

Nothing else imposed by the DNC/CCP?

“The average US IQ is going down because of the mass immigration.”.

There’s also breeding rate. Hispanics 1.9/100,000 women, black 1.7, white 1.5, Asian 1.3.

IQ avg Hispanic and black 85, white 100, Asian 110.

Do the math. White population as a percent is shrinking and is now 57%.

If Box A is twice as big as Box B and Box C is half the size of Box A, which is bigger, C or B?

Answer, the question is a logically fallacy, a false dilemma, but that option is not asked.

Journalism, acting, politics or studies majors do not require any math or critical thinking.

A plane crashes on the US-Canada border, on which side do you bury the survivors?

Depends on polling data and focus group results.

Very interesting choice of measure. I agree. It is wise to evaluate what you track.
