For those who are not interested in discussing Trump’s IQ and tonight’s debate, please post here.
To those who have recently sent me emails, I apologize for not responding yet. Will get to them this week for sure.

Pumpkin Person 
Reposting the post in the old post (didn’t notice this new one appeared):
Just finished watching it.
Initial impressions:
Trump started strong, stronger than HRC, but then declined a lot in the third segment on foreign policy – on what should absolutely have actually been his strongest segment.
And then he got disastrously triggered by Rosie O’Donnell when the moderator pulled out the woman card at the very end.
Even as a Trump supporter I’m afraid he lost at least 40-60. Still, I’d be happy to hear counterarguments.
i stopped watching after he lied about why he wouldn’t release his tax returns.
now it’s a sure thing.
hillary will win unless she fails a urine test.
WHADDA ABOUT THE EMAILS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
is getting old. Would you not agree?
Some Military guys and cops resent her because she elevated the risk of their job/their buds job a little bit.
but that’s it.
they need to stop.
But he did roast her on NAFTA, and such at the beginning, and he won the beginning overall imho as Akarlin said.
It’s going to be close but I’d say Hillary will most likely win.
and the “whadda about the emails” is not a question…
it’s a statement, to these people.
unlike peepee’s retarded attempt to get trump’s WAIS score…
she can determine clinton’s within a narrow range, because in order to get into yale law school requires a very high LSAT score.
or clinton was one of the very few exceptions.
unlike the bullshit wechsler “IQ” test, the LSAT is taken by close to 100,000 people per year. and every test has a section which is used to construct future tests.
Better evidence of Hillary’s IQ comes from her national merit finalist status. PSAT IQ = 138+. But since she flunked the bar exam, we remove the + from the 138+, so she’s 138.
making retarded assumptions again peepee.
the bar exam varies in difficulty from state to state and in form. and part of it is written. hence it’s subjective.
and after making it to semi-finalist, tests do NOT count.
and the PSAT is given at age 15 iirc.
oprah was not a national merit scholar, and she never could have been.
yet you have this bizarre belief that she’s score straight 19s on the WAIS…
corresponding to an IQ of 139, not 160…if the test makers were honest.
whatever peepee-tard.
I doubt Oprah took the PSAT or perhaps even the SAT. She went to a very working class high school. However I do think she’d have been close to national merit level on the SAT if the score was adjusted for the independent effect of social class. In those days scholastic achievement tests were biased against blacks, and they did worse on scholastic tests than they did on IQ tests. That’s not the case today however.
Obama was not a national merit finalist either, even though he was raised in an educated white home and attended a private school with a high rate of Ivy League attendance.
the bar exam varies in difficulty from state to state and in form. and part of it is written. hence it’s subjective.
Still, what are the odds that someone who failed the bar exam was capable of scoring IQ 138+ on the PSAT at age 15? Probably pretty low, so until I know her precise PSAT score, it seem reasonable to assume she scored near the minimum for national merit status.
Certainly the composite score of her PSAT and bar exam was likely no higher than IQ 138+
without making a number of dubious assumptions about the distribution of subtest scores and their intercorrelations, the WAIS is incapable of measuring IQs > 1 in 200.
that’s N for each age group.
so a WAIS IQ > 139 simply doesn’t exist.
this may be another reason why the BGI does not accept the wechler.
You’re right they can’t give scaled scores higher than the one in 200 level, since scaled scores are age normed and no age group has a sample of 200+ (though strangely the scaled scores go up to the one in 500 level, maybe for people who beat all 200, instead of just matching the highest of 200).
However to calculate the composite IQs, they use the sum of age adjusted scaled scores for all ages combined, which gives them a much bigger sample to work with.
Pumpkin i have a question regarding the IQ of my friend’s girlfriend. We had asked her a simple question : “if you had a bucket of sand that weighed 50 pounds and a bucket of dirt that weighed 50 pounds, which weighs more?” She answered incorrectly, not only that but we asked her the same question with a different setting over a dozen times and she still did not get it. She would give answers like “it depends on how you carry them” or “is the sand wet?” We eventually corrected her but for the love of god i have no clue how someone doesn’t understand that. We even asked her: “if a rooster lays an egg on a roof which way does it roll?” The same results everytime.. she has a small head because she’s so short (5 feet exactly) do you think thay effects it?
Bigger brains/heads don’t always mean higher IQ, as the complexity of the neural pathways also matter. But a bigger brain does mean more room for cortical neurons, more complex pathways, etc for high intelligence.
She seems pretty dull to me.
And thanks for that article the other day. Was interesting. I blame it on dysgenics. Not only illegal immigration, but the stupid breeding of every race/ethnicity. Will write on it this week.
It was hilarious at the time i simply don’t get it, she’s a manager at a clothing store, knows everything about horsess like the back of her hand, and can quit smoking weed like it’s nothing, where if her boyfriend and i tried we’d probably murder someone. She’s just so ditzy it’s not funny
What was interesting was that white female maturation was becoming slower even though americans are genetically gearing towards less schooling., so not all the changes were dysgenic to intelligence and even seem to contradict eachother. Culture was in opposition to all of these genetic changes, americans are spending even more time in school and the pressure on younger girls to have sex even earlier is increasing. So it was a tug of war and culture won. You should be warry though because these new trends are incredibly small in proportion to our overall evolution.
Head size is positively correlated with IQ both before and after body size corrections, so yes it might be related to her difficulties. The question about the 50 pound bucket is considered a trick question. For some reason they avoid those on IQ tests, so it might not be the most reliable indicator. To me the question sounds super easy because I’ve heard that riddle since I was a little kid, (except they would say what weighs more, a pound of bricks or a pound of feathers?), so it’s hard for me to judge the difficulty.
Yes i remember seeing the question on a test in elementary school. She”s gullible and very childlike but otherwise successful., that’s what confuses me.
PP I think you should do an IQ estimate of the alt right. Thatd be interesting. Will put some numbers the other day putting them at 94 iirc.
https://robertlindsay.wordpress.com/2016/09/19/is-hbd-an-ideology-of-hatred-and-racism/#comment-273718
my amateur work.
I found 95 on American Norms.
also see my comment directly above that.
Thanks for the link. I’m going to make a response piece to that garbage article some time this week. My next article is whether or not immigration from the 3rd world is the cause for Flynn Effect loses in France (hint, they aren’t).
“and it was estimated that half of those supporters were White Nationalists ”
Source? I’m also going to use your numbers on WN IQ in that same article. Should cause a shit storm. =^)
Here you go.
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2016/09/27/is-hbd-an-ideology-of-hatred-and-racism-a-reply-to-robert-lindsay/
I’ll probably add more to it later.
94 is very close to that, obviously.
Could you post your method(s)?
I got 94 from you. Though I see I remembered wrong and it was 95.5.
Pumpkin do you know the average weight of american men along with the standard deviation, i had read on your brainsize blog that it was 29 bmi with an SD of 8 but that was for people of the age of 50 so i think it might be an overestimate. I think you had a post on here that had some of the information on it but i dont remember which one. Is it correct that the correlation between weight and iq is -.13? Im just curious because my overweight friend is wondering how it affects his iq.
It’s 195.5 for a man and 166.2 for women.
The correlation between weight and IQ is -.25.

Becoming overweight doesn’t lower IQ, people have the causality reversed. Being low IQ leads to being overweight.
https://notpoliticallycorrect.me/2016/06/19/obesity-and-intelligence/
Poking around, I see people saying for 170 pounds the SD is 30 with a sample of 90 IIRC.
Do you have a source for those average weights and the correlation? Well 8 bmi is 57 pounds and you said 30 so should i just split the difference for 44? I know about the causal relation, he just wants to know how much it lowers his iq
http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/fastats/body-measurements.htm
Scratch what I just said about 30 for the SD.
Here’s something:
“Mean BMI increased from 24.0 kg/m(2) at Wave 1 to 27.7 at Wave 8 for women and from 26.6 kg/m(2) to 29.0 for men. In final models, BMI variation also increased from Waves 1 to 8, with the standard deviation increasing from 4.18 kg/m(2) to 6.15 for women and 3.31 kg/m(2) to 4.73 for men. BMI means increased in parallel across most baseline BMI weight classifications, except for more rapid increases through middle-age for obese women followed by declines in the last wave. BMI standard deviations also increased in parallel across baseline BMI classifications for women, with greater divergence of BMI variance for obese men compared to other weight classifications.”
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23675464
Lower IQ=higher BMI. Higher IQ=lower BMI.
And body weight has a heritability between .75 and .82.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3355836/
Pumpkin’s source had about the same bmi but the sd for white men was 7.72 while women were 10.4 instead of the 4 and 3 yours said but those numbers are from me plugging in the equations pp gave me so maybe i did it wrong, but it was relatively simple so i dont think so. Ill redo them but it might just be better to go with yours because the study actually provides sd’s. Or Maybe i should just average them?
Seems like you should average them but don’t take my word for it as I’m bad at math.
Me neither but i found using that data that the average iq based on bmi is 101.3 around my neighbor’s apartment complexes. I basically went around collecting height and weight data and plugged it into the equation. The girl that had difficulties with that trick question surprisingly scored the highest.
First of all it’s weight/height ratio (BMI), that’s negatively correlated with IQ, not weight. Weight might actually even be positively correlated with IQ. You’ll often see low IQ white trash older women at Trump rallies with extremely low weights, but it’s because they’re the runt of a very big litter and they also have extremely low heights.
This document has all the data you need.
Click to access nhsr010.pdf
It doesn’t give the standard deviations, but it gives the standard error. But standard error is just standard deviation divided by the square root of N (sample size). Thus to calculate the standard deviation, you just multiply the standard error by the square root of the sample size.
My best estimate was that weight/height ratio correlates -0.22 with IQ.
https://brainsize.wordpress.com/2014/09/12/iq-weightheight-ratio/
That’s very similar to what RaceRealist cites from a different source, so it’s probably about right.
Weight/BMI is negatively correlated with IQ, but it’s not causal. Insulin is the cause and is the result of bad food choices. Which, in my opinion, come from lower intelligence. Lower intelligence is the cause of obesity. This is why people gorge on high kcal/high processed carb/high sugar foods. When insulin is spiked high, the body weight set point (BWSP) is put higher. The brain regulates this BWSP through the hypothalamus. When insulin is high, the set point is told to be high and the body releases hunger hormones to make you eat more and or decrease expenditure to gain weight. So we don’t get fat because we eat too much, we eat too much because we get fat. Insulin’s primary role in the body is to either store body fat or tell the body to not burn fat. Insulin drives cells to oxidize carbohydrates instead of body fat for energy. Insulin directly stimulates the accumulation of fat in adipose tissue. Also:
http://arbl.cvmbs.colostate.edu/hbooks/pathphys/endocrine/pancreas/insulin_phys.html
This is the cause of obesity. Which, in my opinion, bad dietary choices full of highly processed foods drive the obesity epidemic.
Oh ok so the weight/height ration is BMI. Also Im sure it works both ways. Too little fat is a sign of malnourishment while too much is low impulse control.
Thanks for the pdf it helped a lot. I was using the same method you did for HQ(height quotient) to figure IQ from BMI and this filled in the blanks
i remembered correctly.
Normative sample: N = 2200
– 200 examinees per age band for ages 16-69
– 100 examinees per age band for ages 70-90
what a fucking joke of a test.
”Lower intelligence is the cause of obesity”
the older is the species more stable/less mutable (to their enviroment) she will be*
long term of the strong natural selection make almost of the non-human living beings ‘ideally’ smarter ***
in this case, ideally smarter = directly adapted to their ”enviroment” (not only the place [vegetation and climate] but also populations and availability of food)
People in the least developed nations are less prone to be fat (even obesity have increased there… western ”food”), why*
life style, less sedentary, less industrial trash-food.
Exactly. Though being sedentary doesn’t mean much for energy expenditure.
http://nymag.com/news/sports/38001/
Exercise makes you hungrier.
Western, highly processed food with not enough time in an insulin deficient state is the cause of obesity. The ultimate cause. Obviously the correlation holds for developed countries but as other countries develop and take Western culture, diseases of civilization and obesity will rise.
it is impossible to get fat if one sticks to a paleo diet ad lib.
it is possible but very hard to get fat eating a paleo diet if one is actually trying to get fat.
prior to the neolithic there were no fat people, or they were < 1 in 1,000 and had something glandular wrong with them.
but unfortunately a full-on paleo diet is too expensive for most people living in the developed world…yet costs nothing for the few savages remaining.
Cynicism proved true again.
Mugabe, exactly. I’m positive you’ve experienced the ‘second stomach’ phenomenon. Where you eat a nice huge meal of healthy, whole foods. Then all of the sudden dessert comes and you can eat more of it. This has to do with the way food is refined.
Food is refined by taking out the nutrients and protein, etc. For instance, white rice is refined brown rice. White flour and white rice have the bran and the germ, leaving the endosperm. The whiter it is, the more refined the food is and the more nutrients, fiber is taken out. This makes us want to eat more as insulin is the driver of obesity. It is obesity’s ultimate cause.
I do agree with you that it’s near next to impossible to overeat whole foods. More interestingly, low carb diets have higher energy expenditure:
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3564212/
Fat can only be gained if insulin is elevevated. When insulin is low, fat cannot be gained. Insulin drives most cells to use carbohydrates for energy and not fat. Insulin directly stimulates accumulation of fat in adipose tissue. Moreover, insulin, of course, facilitates the entry of glucose into the adipocyte (fat cell). When this occurs, glucose is synthesized to glycerol. Then the glycerol along with the fatty acids from the liver used to synthesize triglyceride (small chain fatty acids) into the adipocyte. Insulin also HALTS the process of fat burning by inhibiting the intracellular lipase that hydrolyzes triglycerides to release fatty acids.
Basically, when insulin is too high fat cannot be burned and only when in an insulin deficient state can fat be burned. Yet, hacks like NIH scientist Kevin Hall still insist that the insulin hypothesis of obesity is dead, when his own study showed a slight decrease in energy expenditure over the SAD (Standard American Diet, about 60 percent CHO).
But yea I agree with Paleo only on the low-carb notion. Any other magic benefits people talk about (like Andrew Anglin) are retarded. People also need a better understanding of nutrition so we can avoid all of this.
Racerealist
I’ve taken up a new hobby of studying nutrition and they seem to be making the point that you do need to vary your carbs based on aerobic/anaerobic/PC types of activity . I do about 25 mins of anaerobic activity a day. This is bad situation because, it seems only aerobic activity breaks down fat as the body draws on fat rather than glycogen in this scenario only.
I calc 300g a day based on my bodyweight and activity.
Definitively what’s your advice on carbs? Complex polysaccahrine yes, but in what proportion to fat and protein. I get advice to cut out carbs completely based on similar arguments on insulin. But this PHD in nutrition science seems to say stock up on complex carbs unless you want to burn muscle.
I expect to be resuming weightlifting again by next week at least 2 days a week on top of the 25 mins anaerobic exercise daily.
the skeletons of stone age men (and women too peepee) look like those of professional athletes.

Actually i think i found the most up to date anthropometric data. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=http://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/series/sr_03/sr03_039.pdf&ved=0ahUKEwiNxp-RsrDPAhUJ7R4KHUy7A0AQFggfMAE&usg=AFQjCNFYBrGtd7fLuC9Oo-_xeu1rL0u8xQ&sig2=GG_uRNCXdGETAeNZW_iywgq
Its basically the same kind of study yours was but the data is more recent interestingly enough i found that blacks and whites are relatively the same weight and heigh. I guess ill use these SDs instead of race realists
prof shoe has this great vid with a song from les miserables.
trump and sanders are the future…i hope.

my secret is that i know i am fallible….
i hope i’m wrong…fallible.
The irony is, that so many Trump supporters got bent out of shape about it.
To them, it should be “the politically incorrect truth”.
But it’s different when it’s them.
Per the usual.
My point flew over Mugabe’s head.
Trump is right on many issues, most would agree.
BUT
Hillary is right on the ‘half of Trump’s supporters are in a basket of deplorables’.

Hi Pumpkin:
I remember that awhile back you blogged about a paper claiming that Victorian-era individuals averaged a higher genetic IQ than modern people. I don’t have time to read through the whole debate, but I’d be very interested to hear a summary of your conclusions on the subject.
Thanks.
On a scale where modern whites average 100 with an SD of 15, Victorians average IQ 70 (the Flynn effect), so I’ve long wondered how to explain that 30 point gap. So imagine my frustration when I learned that Victorians supposedly had a genetic IQ of 115, which meant instead of needing to explain a 30 point gap, I had to explain a 45 point gap.
Fortunately, it now appears that Victorians probably had genetic IQs of 100, just like moderns. On tests that seem not at all sensitive to cultural or biological environment, there’s been virtually no change in the last 100 years. Further mutation load is no longer thought to impair IQ as much we thought back in 2014, so a major rationale for Victorian superiority has been undermined.
But if Victorians had the same genetic IQ as we do, we must explain why they had faster reaction times. My guess is that their shorter height meant electric impulses had less distance to travel, and their lighter weight meant faster movements. Add to that they probably got a lot more exercise than we do and ate less fat and carbs, which probably kept them neurologically quick, despite their smaller malnourished brains impairing their IQs.
Just my opinion. I could be very wrong.
http://snowbrains.com/brain-post-much-time-average-american-spend-outdoors/
“According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), the average American spends 93% of their life indoors. 87% of their life is indoors, then another 6% of their life in automobiles. That’s only 7% of your entire life outdoors. That’s only only one half of one day per week outdoors Ouch.”
I assume that there would be less obesity in Victorians because I assume they walk more than modern people. Walking is good for the heart and increases blood flow and oxygenation. One reason I think I did poor on my IQ subtests is because I don’t exercise. I recall that my therapist asked me why I don’t remember details. I said I don’t need to remember details, I spend all me time on the computer. If I worked in a retail store my memory would be better but starting out I would do terrible because I’d forget where the products are located. In victorian time it was more important to pay attention to things that need reaction to. Think of the wild west where instead of machine guns you needed precise aim or you would waste bullets needed to hunt food. In modern consumerism, We move too fast to pay attention to things that require aiming and precision. I noticed myself that I am very precise when I have time to do things at my own pace. Pressure is put on people to do things fast in school and work and that lowers their precision. People don’t have time to develop the awareness needed for precise action. Everything is continuously Go Go Go!!! The pace of life was more relaxed in the victorian era. You had time to build awareness. There was no rush and you had time to do things well.
PP,
I noticed that you have a good memory. I think that memory and genetic IQ are linked. Abstraction I think is the ability to fill up layers of understanding, or the ability to understand context in layers. Memory fills up the layers and so you have more context to understand the gaps in your understanding. The Flynn effect happens to be that we added more layers (abstraction) through culture and people with good memories simply can fill in the layers faster than people with poor memory. This means genetic IQ is structured around memory and culture heritability is structured around layers. By haveing and understanding of many concepts these concepts can link together and that is why genetic IQ would not cause the Flynn effect but education would. The gaps in knowledge would reduce as we acuminate more concepts at the rate of memory acquisition. We could say that every five points problem-solving doubles because the rate of change is a layer that is filled in above what they layer bellow needed to adapt its knowledge to a new abstraction. It seems that parallel increases in memory exponentiates the number of layers one can build every 5 points with exposure to concepts. A person should potentially be capable of height intelligence because they can acquire concepts and not because of the current understanding. Current understanding build exponentially given the right exposure to build up layers rather than random unknown context yet to be accumulated that doesn’t fill the gaps needed for current domain expertise. You can’t go beyond a conceptual layer without the basics filled into the layer below it.
”PP,
I noticed that you have a good memory. ”
I have a differently nice opinion,
🙏 🙌
” The pace of life was more relaxed in the victorian era”
Specially to the rich, ☕
”Abstraction I think is the ability to fill up layers of understanding, or the ability to understand context in layers.”
exactly, it’s the slowly the intuitive thinking. look to the non-human living beings, their intelligences are strongly, quasi-totally intuitive, of course there are a variety of this intuitive intensity among them.
just like, for example, you are seeing a horse walking in the plain.
so, now you look in low camera the same horse walking in the plain. you will catch more details than when you are seeing this sequence of images in the real speed, only if this horse is lame. Abstraction is also the inter-connection of the material things, between two material or literal things, to catch the behavior of the phenomena that usually happen between and/or from the material things, the emanation of his vibrations and influence in the space/place/enviroment.
Most part of the time our brain ”do things” without our absolutely conscious permission. Our SELF are always ideal but many times the brain will be completely dissonant to the SELF perfectionism.
Our SELF always want the best for us.
Flynn Effect has been analysed via intergenerational comparisons in the same families*
”My grandmother ‘have’ a iq 70 in the childhood [30’s] but during their adulthood their iq increase to the 90 level [ 60’s]…”
oi*
We have ”intelligences” that are direct products of civilization demands and we have only-real world intelligence that is fundamental to the survive, the spectrum logics-rationality-wisdom.
Logical intelligence is: act indiscriminately, imorally way, based on their biology. (if you are a psychopath, act like that). Logical is to conform to their own possibilities and use it but without morality/balance/proportional behavior.
Rational intelligence is the proportional intelligence, the increasing of the self awareness also mean the increasing of the awareness/really know that that thing exist. it’s like the expansion of the individual force field. firstly it’s selfish or narrowed (logic). Rational is the expansion of morality circles or result in this expansion because the higher will be your awareness about reality higher will be your awareness about PROBLEMS and anxiety to solve them.
It’s smarter avoid direct conflict, in their individual sphere, when you can avoid them creating a broader ”force field”, a safe space.
People who are prone to create problems to themselves or are stupid or crazy (a type of stupidity).
Wisdom or final intelligence is the expansion to their rational approach to the macro social/enviromental levels, maximizing your own fitness if you can, avoiding direct/dangerous conflict.
Just like, or you observe-to-know if that kind of snake [in the forest] have poison or that snake is likely to attack you without you know.
the first and or primordial intelligence is in the macro-level, what humanities, specially social sciences, should be without profound ideological/religious noise.
Compassion is the individual desire directed to the other people or being, they have your own luck and just live. my opinions…
the real intelligence, seems, need to start to their core, thinking skills but recent human evolution seems despise this stage, why**
because civilization was created and or, in the end, has been administred by
ignorant
and
sociopath.
No owners want their slaves be superior than them.
“Add to that they probably got a lot more exercise than we do and ate less fat and carbs, which probably kept them neurologically quick”
Source? So they ate more protein? They ate high fat low carb diets.
https://www.dietdoctor.com/mid-victorian-the-healthiest-diet-youve-never-heard-of
Fat is needed for ketones pp. We don’t need carbs though. Etc etc.
Here’s a source claiming there’s been a massive increase in refined carb consumption.
http://m.ajcn.nutrition.org/content/79/5/774.full
My guess is that despite better prenatal nutrition (including disease reduction) increasing brain size and IQ, worse diets have slowed simple reaction time
I don’t have proof though
Anime kitty,
Exercise doesn’t lead to weight loss. People assume that calories out is constant but that’s not true.
Most people assume that the Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) remains stable. Of course, measuring the caloric intake is simple (to a point). However, measuring caloric outtake is a much more complicated process. When ever the Total Daily Energy Expidenture (TDEE) is spoken of, that involves the BMR, thermic effect of food, nonexercise activity thermogenesis (the energy expidenture of all activities sans sports), excess post-exercise consumption (EPOC, a measurably increased rate of oxygen intake following increased oxygen depletion), as well as exercise. the TDEE can increase or decrease by as much as 50 percent depending on caloric intake as well as the aforementioned variables.
PP
What’s the name of the paper? The link doesn’t work.
Refined carbs spike insulin more, insulin drives fat gain. In all first world countries obesity has risen due to higher refined carbohydrate intake.
I wouldn’t say that worse diets have slowed reaction time. This is pretty complicated as well. I’ll look into this this week and write something on it. I’ve been interested in this paradox for some time since I first heard it a few months ago.
Obesity probably depresses IQ more than head injuries or maybe even long term soft drug use.
Its worst affect is to pump the brain with prolactin and other feminine chemicals warping the brain into pain avoidance mode and sloth.
My hunch is that if processed food was banned, the white black IQ gap would explode to 25 points, maybe even 30.
The other aspect of the Victorian era was a less polluted food supply chain and environment (maybe), mandatory millitary conscription and forcing people to learn either Latin or even Greek, which have know IQ enhancing qualities. But these are conunteracted by the variables you name above like overall nutrition (reflected in height gains), lack of serious violence and trauma and public sewage.
thomas aquinas is one of the smartest people who ever lived.
he was a s italian, and he was fat.
maybe chomsky is a little crazy…or stupid.
1. he thinks global warming is an existential crisis for humanity…similar to a nuclear winter…except even a nuclear winter wouldn’t result in the extinction of humanity.
2. yesterday i heard him say nonchalantly, in response to a question about drug prohibition, something like, “sugar kills more people than drugs. does that mean sugar should be prohibited?”
he gave no citation for this bizarre claim. and the idea that sugar causes cancer and heart disease is a new idea. isn’t it? the video is from the 90s.
as one who pretends to have a “dramatic sense”…
and one who knows that “the world’s a stage” more so than ever…
a hillary victory would be like what?
another line from Brideshead…
A blow, expected, repeated, falling on a bruise, with no smart or shock of surprise, only a dull and sickening pain and the doubt whether another like it could be borne – that was how it felt…
so who was it?
peepee or destructure?
the message was from “sacha”…about a year ago…
called my brother asking about my family?
i knew it was bs, because my family is shit…afaik.
believe it or not “sacha” was from some independent production company by the name of Lion Television in manhattan.
i assume it’s some friend of peepee’s.
I don’t know of anyone calling your brother.
i know it sounds crazy.
do it….
peepee…
or…
i guess that i just don’t know!
’cause if this gal called me about…
my family…
and it wasn’t a PUT-ON…
it was a PUT-ON…
but maybe she herself was being PUT-ON.
but she didn’t know it!
THE TITANIC IS AT THE BOTTOM OF THE OCEAN…
AND THE SWISS RC REST?…
THEY’RE JUST UPPER MIDDLE CLASS…
(the above may be un-under-standable if you’re not from my family)
…
come on peepee.
were you the one behind that BIZARRE phone call?
Not only was I not behind it, this is the first I’ve ever heard of it. I don’t have time for such nonsense.
What exactly happened (assuming you’re not trolling) If it happened a year ago, why are you only now mentioning it?
her “survey” and “govt” job are in the same building.
i don’t have time for such nonsense…
yet you have time to run a blog and LIE.
You know my work locations better than i do apparently.
Lie about what?
This blog is a form of self-actualization. An outlet for my interest in IQ.
The only wasted time is you. I tolerate you because maybe 10% of readers look forward to your comments, but to me you’re just a distraction.
…because maybe 100% of readers…
You do have a following, but it’s much closer to 10% than 100% of this blog’s readership. When you were banned, only a few people asked where you were, and one of them appeared to be a sock puppet of yours. Out of all the hundreds of people linking to my blog, only one or two has linked to talk about you.
You probably could have a much larger following if (1) you didn’t sound so insane so often, (2) you weren’t so over-the-top offensive to so many individuals and groups, and (3) if you didn’t constantly change your name and avatar.
Mugabe is clearly very smart. I look forward to his comments (the non-drivel ones, which are very few and far between) as he has great insight on a lot of topics.
Wish he’d stop the idiocy, but that’s part of his character.
I understand that readers resent the garbled word salad and ‘off topic-ness’ of the comments section of this blog.
Mugabe needs to and WILL do better on his own; with his own blog.
It’s “nationalism” that he loves after all…:)
my God your cunt is stinky.
and you may tell yourself…
”Mugabe is clearly very smart. I look forward to his comments (the non-drivel ones, which are very few and far between) as he has great insight on a lot of topics.

Clever sillies tend to be very smart in some aspects
not enough…
:putnam:
let’s do it peepee!
i know where you work.
Everyone be careful never to surprise me at my government gig. The security is over the top and anyone suspicious gets interrogated.
My survey job is more relaxed.
seriously peepee.
why the fuck would some tv producer call me asking about my family…
my very NOT distinguished family…
???
her “survey” and “govt” job are in the same building.
I wish
…that you were born with a penis.
i know.
but with enough money you can “transition”…
except you can’t…
you’ll always be a girl.
…instinctive…
manufactured…
talent!
I know you’re erotically obsessed with me, but the penis fixation is getting old.
if this is a peepeee thing…
oprah’s got a mighty stanky crotch.
mighty!
i have to get more beer at the 7-11…
but just a minute…
hmmm…
1. peepee has recently come up with an “open thread”…
presumably people comment here because peepee has a magnetic personality…
NOT!
2. this “open thread” has 10x the comments of peepee’s other recent posts.
hmmm…
Even if you weren’t here, the open threads would still have more comments than the article posts, not least because they’re always the most recent post and they’re essentially message boards where anyone can discuss anything. But I agree you make the comment sections a lot more active then they’d otherwise be, but when you were banned, readership only declined by 10% at the most, and that might have even been a coincidence. Ultimately you can’t create real value. As another commenter noted, you’re like a primitive parasite that needs me to survive.
Speaking of all this;
the fact that I look forward to the comments on this blog and get “social stimulation” to an extent from it really makes me feel like a loser and/or autist.
😦
i’m sad…can you tell?
numsayin’
for peepee (my butt girl) and all of my butt boys…
known and un-known…
andrew sullivan…super-duper-uber butt boy…wrote an interesting article for New York Magazine…

my comment is under “viscountflyte”…
Good on Mssr Sullivan, though he could have made it more than commentary; he could have made it simpler, lapidary.
Distraction is not new. There are only three responses to the human condition, that of being mortal and knowing it. These are:
1. distraction, the most opted for.
2. the religious, ridiculous and vicious.
3. try to change the human condition, the least opted for and until recently un-imaginable. those who developed the HAART drugs are an example.
I forgot. There is a fourth response…
and it makes one, should he choose it, “a citizen of the world”. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PfCtkixT6pM
I love Andrew Sullivan.
an example of how someone can be a…
wait…
am example of how ALL elite media is a bunch of pervs.
In 2001, it came to light that Sullivan had posted anonymous online advertisements for unprotected anal sex, preferably with “other HIV-positive men”.
what the fuck is wrong with faggots?
…
the article is too long and wordy…as i alluded to in my comment…but it was “an article” so it had to be….
in so many words mssr sullivan says what i say in my comment…
…
and he mentions Into Great Silence.
part of me wants to be that guy…
a typo…
the guy i wanna be is this guy….
i wanna be ponch.
for fuck’s sake…
let those beautiful black folks do it themselves…
but…
like the spaniards…
they hate each other…
africa is fubar as a result of colonialism ANNND that it was never colonized…
seriously…
the pork-and-cheese came closest.
there were a million pork-and-cheese in angola prior to independence…like algeria and the french….
is nigeria really any worse than honduras or paraguay? (these are 0% unmixed european countries.)
wait…
NIGERIA IS…
BETTER!

blackzilla has all the white ladies lined up…
