“As discussed with Tantiboth, high IQ leads to magnified insight, and magnified error.”
I do have to comment on the dichotomy here, FC. You use a measurement of intelligence to demonstrate that your grey matter isn’t looney; then you discount anyone with a measurement higher than your own as capable of committing “magnified error.” Struck me as funny. I’m happy for you that your measurement is just right. Goldilocks would be right at home.

I love the progression. Restornu calls my grey matter loony without proof, I rebuff restornu with a few facts about me, including not only my IQ but significant other indicators of accomplishment. DU says that’s nothing, he’s smarter than me (and let’s not forget, he is a direct decendent from Abraham and has the genealogy to prove it, though even the Cohens are hardpressed). Then you quote me out of context, saying IQ was the only thing I used to show I am quite mainstream.
So, your out of context attempt to prove somehow that I am an egotist is an act of desperation born of someone who takes their lessons from Goldilocks and Joseph Smith the crystal gazer (not one of you has denied he was a rock seer). I am the egotist, as claimed by a group of people who claim they are on the way to becoming Gods with their own planets!
Now don’t that beat all! Next ya know, you’ll be calling to ban me because my thoughts are indecent (which would imply your egos do not allow dissent).
Are you foaming mad at me because my thoughts are out of bounds? Or because they are a bit too close to the truth?
“then you discount anyone with a measurement higher than your own”
Of course, that’s absolutely false. I discounted both my own intelligence as well as everyone else’s (high IQ can lead to magnified error). Just as I can be mistaken, so can even the brightest Mormon, so let the evidence speak for itself. I know I can produce a $3 bill with Joseph Smith’s signature on it, as well as occult documents, so I’m not worried about who is going to be perceived as loony.
