AOC and ilhan omar play games.



bet this is causing all sorts of cognitive dissonance for macbeth.

I would pay to hear Trump try and talk his way out of ejection into space.

In that game of course.

So Jordan lobster people peterson has risen from the dead through a new video posted on youtube and it sent me down a little rabbit hole of his cult following and specifically the IQ fetishism crowd. There's a lecture segment of Peterson up on YT where he very rigidly states that you must have X IQ to perform Y job, and that you will never achieve anything without it. It seems to have sent shockwaves down the self-proclaimed super genius crowd (who invariably study engineering and physics, which requires the highest IQs after all) feeling it legitimises their sense of superiority and claim to world leadership.

My trip down the rabbit hole made me stumble upon the following article: http://m.nautil.us/issue/65/in-plain-si … ----------

The comments are a real treat. It's kind of concerning how strongly the 'scientist' super IQs disparage the author and cling to IQ testing. Even funnier perhaps is the mensa subreddit, which is filled to the brim with people talking about their IQ scores like their grandmothers would reading their horoscopes. Mensa of course being the mark of the chosen ones, tragically misunderstood and underappreciated by the plebeian masses.

I am seeing strong overlaps between incels, engineers, mensa, conspiracy nutjobs and extreme right wing political views. Some gold from the comments in the atricle:

That's certainly what you want people to believe... And, it shows the depth of the Lefts lack of moral character, i.e., that you prefer that we all act like stupid sheep...do what we're told, when we're told and by anyone you say we should pay attention to, irrespective of their IQ, morals, or vicissitude.
Quick fact check: IQ's were what got us to the moon and lack of IQ's is why were haven't been back. IQ's were what caused the creating of the US Constitution and lack of IQ's is why Americans have fewer Freedoms today than yesterday and why we accept BS such as this as true or factual, regardless of the actual needs and wants of Americans. Further, a decided lack of IQ's is why Russia and China are the two most powerful countries (and Richest) in the world and why the US is now an official third-world country... Just as you decided we should be. Nice work.

This article was so bad I couldn't finish reading it. That the author, Simonton, is a "distinguished" professor of psychology at UC Davis left me wondering how ignorant the professors without "distinguished" in front of their name are. Potential students, beware; steer clear of a university that employs such people; you will not receive an education.

(...)

I have perused the comments for this article and the
consensus seems to lean toward the flaws of Simonton's discussion. It's almost as if the author painted a red
bullseye on the writing with the suggestion it be destroyed. If I had the time and was so inclined I could do a stellar critique of this article. I have to believe that the author accomplished his main (and perhaps only) objective; to be published.

There is no bragging to be done. I was assessed as reading on a sophomore in college in the beginning of the fifth grade. My achievement in school continued apace. The problem was and is;the achievements most people desire are empty. And most "smart" people aren't. The average iq of Doctors, lawyers,judges, college professor, are about 124. Not very bright. Not bright enough to recognize brilliance. As most people aren't. In fact when your that much smarter,they think you are the idiot. Genius doesn't stand a chance.

Dilbert, these are obviously your people. Do you by chance have a mensa certificate somewhere?

They were playing that space game where you have to find the imposter before it kills all the crew. Apparently Omar for some reason kept getting chosen as the imposter by the randomizer. I think that speaks for itself.

i bet her motherboard is better than yours.

She used a staffer's PC that was running a 10,000 series Intel CPU. Crazy thing about the PC was that the staffer had a 6 TB storage SSD. Must be a media staffer since a SSD of that size cost as much as an entire PC.

I know this is barely serious talk worthy.

He was practically a national hero after 9/11. New shit’s always coming to light.

As an aside, Sacha has made a habit of outright lying to people about why he's there to film. I guess the Romanian village he hoodwinked into being on the Borat movie sued. A less-than-ethical filmmaker, I think.

On Rudy, if a dickhead tricks a dickhead, they're both still dickheads.

Right, but it still dicks people over who might not necessarily deserve it. I don't feel bad for Rudy but it kind of sucks that people in some nameless, non-wealthy town got made a laughingstock.

I don't feel sorry for the short-tempered rednecks at that one rodeo either.

wasnt he always a slime ball? i mean it would be pretty hard for a city mayor to not get sympathy after your city becomes a global tragedy and cause for sympathy.

wasn’t it rudy who brought in all that disastrous ‘broken glass’ policing? who turned the NYPD up to 11? am i thinking of someone else?

He got famous for being a criminal prosecutor and going after organized crime in the city. He did institute broken windows policy. People credit him for "cleaning up Times Square" and turning it into a tourist trap when it used to be a place to score drugs and grab a hooker.

People had already become pretty tired of him I'm his role as "America's mayor" when he ran for president in 2008. I forgot who said it but at a debate they criticized him for exploiting 9/11. It was something like "his campaign is premised off his ability to string together a noun, a verb, and 9/11”

Oh God it was actually Biden who came up with that one.
