Greetings good citizen, you shouldn't care what I think, all you need to commit to is the kind of WORLD you want to live in (although zero irony that none of you can bring yourself to care, especially if caring displeases 'massa'.)
That said I have long asserted that 'IQ, we're measuring it wrong!' [But why be different, we do almost everything else 'wrong' too!]
You are so focused on your 'short game' that you don't have the patience to work on anything but a rough sketch for your future...the everchanging 'hopes' of how things will work out in an increasingly unstable environment.
And that's not a 'accident' either.
Yesterday's granite foundations are tomorrow's smoking holes in the ground.
What's this have to do with intellect?
What do you think...if you follow the link it takes you to an article that explains the origin of IQ testing and just how low that bar (for 'average') was set.
AND it also includes some unsurprising statistics regarding the folks who are proud of their 'impressive' IQ scores. [That said, the comments section displays the 'anti-intellectual movement' in all its 'glory' [in as much as morons are proud to be stupid...]
Not a single individual that tested at genius level when they were 5 years old has EVER been the recipient of a Nobel Prize in ANYTHING. [Not that their criteria is 'pristine' either...]
The conclusion here is unremarkable, it's one thing to be gifted with a Eidetic memory and quite another to learn how to use it or to still feel its effects for any significant time after the 'blush of youth' fades away. [Gegner is 62]
Let us also visit the other 'qualifiers' in play here, smart is like truth, both are highly relative as well as being subjective...what is 'smart' in one respect might well prove foolish if taken from different point of view.
Life is a 'balancing act'...
One of life's great ironies is how many times we end up 'outsmarting' ourselves by 'misreading' the clues...or, most often, jumping to (only partially correct) conclusions.
Usually our 'myopia' gets the better of us as we reach the conclusions we 'want to reach' without weighing the mitigating factors that we often blind ourselves to.
But I digress.
At the crux of today's offering is those who equate money with intelligence [because they fail to understand A.) how to make a hatfull and B.) that they are being 'suckered' by those who have hatfuls...
It is perfectly 'logical' to assume the rich are 'smarter' than we are when 'intelligence' has absolutely NOTHING to do with financial well-being.
The rich are rich because they control the justice system and the media from top to bottom.
That je nais se quois, that 'intangible/indefinable quality' that the rich are said to possess [that you obviously don't] comes from stupidity...and you need to look very carefully because that stupidity is YOURS!
I can TELL you until the 'cows come home' that you are being manipulated but what you continue to fail to realize is how many WAYS you are routinely being DECEIVED!
It starts with the original lie machine, church and follows to it's adjunct, school where your young mind is packed with contradictory garbage and bastes in the toxic sludge picked up from your classmate's parents poisoned minds. Then you are sent of to seek employment despite being totally unprepared to function in ANY capacity.
There you find a world nobody prepared you for and here you sit, angry and bewildered, wondering how much more of this fiasco isn't 'as advertised'.
Everything you've been taught is a LIE and who do you resent? Your parents.
But I digress yet again, a vast majority of you don't have 'parents' plural...most only have one and she works her fingers to the bone in a life she hates solely so YOU won't have to got without.
Hard to blame this on her, after all it's fairly obvious she isn't 'in charge'.
But what does this have to do with IQ?
It is here that Gegner pulls a shitty by leaving you to figure this out.
To paraphrase the Republicans among us: You're on your own!
