Europe is literally just handing over their continent to Muslim middle easterners. That’s about as dumb as one can get.
I got conned into a date with a Mensa guy once. Oh crikes I thought I would die of boredom before it was over. He talked constantly about himself. I’m more mature now and I realize he did not possess social skills which may be because he was so smart.
Now I am married to a genius but fortunately he’s a really fun date. He has no interest in MENSA. He thinks its boring. :-)
Kids must start somewhere.
There are plenty of smart people who do manual and blue collar labor. A lot of us don’t want to sit behind a desk all day. I think I’d rather live under a bridge.
There's a solution. Societal devolution. In times of wide civil disorder, I'd say that IQ is of less value. Look at the inbred Middle East, or the more disorganized parts of Africa, or our worst inner city areas. Strength and ruthlessness matter as much or more as abstract intelligence.
Only one?
Among many.
"You talk like a fag, and your s__t's all retarded."
(hopefully you've seen the movie...)
BTW. I'm one of the High IQ crowd too
(For all the good that's ever done me)
“... And there was a time in this country, a long time ago, when reading wasn’t just for fags and neither was writing. People wrote books and movies, movies that had stories so you cared whose ass it was and why it was farting, and I believe that time can come again!”
I agree, lets drug 3 billion people.
Intelligence is a biological problem and should be treated as one. Research can ultimately provide chemicals to ease the problem of low IQs. In addition, medications to increase the time between stimulus and response(impulse control) would be useful in certain demographics.
Ok wait, we could drug 3 billion people, or... we could just serve fine wines to the top IQs. Its chaeper. And if we are just looking for parity and not smarts...
I got a 144.
But there are a couple nuisance questions I just guessed at, so don’t know..
The “what number DOESN’T belong in the series” questions are pretty different from a standard IQ test!
BTW, The highest I ever scored was 158, after a good night’s sleep and a hot cup of joe.
A lot related to IQ tests within a country that has the same language group relates to verbal comprehension. Even math relates to that. Blacks speak a rudimentary nonstandard English that doesn’t even include some of the concepts that would be required for them to understand or express themselves in an IQ test. They can even barely sort of shapes because they’re not sure how to classify them.
Blacks need to be taught Standard English.
You be dissing me bro!
Interesting article.
“Do we have an insoluble problem?”
Quite likely. If robots take over as hotel maids, ditch diggers, tomato pickers, etc. and those displaced aren’t capable of building robots or retraining for higher skills, even if they are willing to work what are they going to do?
That’s why I quit going. They all kept talking about themselves and wouldn’t listen to me talk about myself.
Seriously, though, you can hardly find a more pretentious and boring bunch.
